National Cash
Register Faces
Contempt Charges
Attorney General Tom C. Clark
announced today the filing of a
petition in the federal district
court at Cincinnati, Ohio, charging
The National Cash Register Com
pany of Dayton, Ohio, and three
of its principal officers and direc
tors with being in criminal and
civil contempt of court as a result
of an alleged willful violation of
the terms of an antitrust consent
decree entered against them.
The individuals named are Ed
ward A. Deds, chairman of the
board of directors, Stanley C. Al
lyn, president and member of the
board of directors, and George A.
Marshal, vice-president in charge
of overseas operations.
The petition charges that The
National Cash Register Company
acquired the soda register machine
assets of General Register Corpo
ration of New York City, a com
peting manufacturer of register
ing devices in the United States,
without the approval of the Court.
A soda register machine is a type
generally used at soda fountains.
According to the petition, the or
iginal decree, entered in 1916, re
quired National Cash to obtain the
permission of the Court before ac
quiring a competitor. The petition
alleges that the acquisition was
made secretly by National’s sub
sidiary in London, England, but
on behalf of National Cash in the
United States. The petition also
charges that the action was delib
erate and willful and that the de-|
fendant officers and directors of
National, at the time of the acqui
sition, knew that they were violat
ing the terms of the consent de
cree. The petition further charges |
that the defendants made a pay- \
ment of money to a former officer}
of General Register Corporation
for the purpose of inducing him
not to publicize the fact that de- j
fendant National had acquired the
soda register business of General
Register Corporation.
Attorney General Clark stated: j
“Consent decrees are entered in
anti-trust cases only after the
most careful consideration by the 1
Department of Justice and after a
representation by the defendants
that they will cease their unlawful

Assistant Attorney General
Wendell Berge, in charge of the
Antitrust Division, said: ‘‘The acts
charged as constituting the con
tempt of court in this case were
uncovered as a result of the Anti
trust Division’s duty of determin

previous antiturst cases are being
violated. We propose to continue
to secure observance of the de

cases and we shall insist upon
