McGrath Files
Suit Against A & P
Chain Stores
WASHINGTON, </Pi —Attorney
General J. Howard McGrath yes
terday filed suit to break up the
Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea
company’s nationwide food chain.
The civil action was brought in
federal district court at New York
City yesterday morning.
It is a followup to a criminal
conviction of the A. and P. com
pany under the anti-trust statutes
at Danville, 111., three years ago.
The conviction was affirmed in
U. S. Court of Appeals at Chicago
early this year and the company
paid fines totaling $175,000.
In New York, an A. & P. offi
cial branded the suit as “a threat
to the welfare and living standards
of every American citizen.”
Entering a general denial of the
government charges, a spokesman
for the big food chain said ‘‘the
whole basis of this attack is the
fact that we sold good food too
cheap.”
‘•This is not just an effort to de
stroy A. & P., but an attack on the
entire system of efficient low-cost,
low-profit, mass distri b u t i o n
which this company pioneered,”
he said.
The action in New York re
quests a court order requiring A.
and P. to separate its manufactur
ing and processing business from
its buying and selling business and
to separate its present seven retail
store divisions into seven inde
pendently owned retail food
chains.
The justice department proposes
to dissolve the Atlantic commis
sion company, A. & P.’s wholesale
purchasing and sales agent in the
produce markets.
Under the proposed breakup of
the present national chain into
seven independent companies, A.
& P. itself would not be permitted
to own more than one such divi
sion. probably covering about 800
stores, in contrast to the 6.000 re
tail outlets it now operates.
It is estimated that more than
1,500 cities in the United States
have installed parking meters.
