Florida Court Approves Seaboard-ACL Merger Jacksonville, Fla.—A three- judtfe federal court approved Wednesday, June 8, the merg er of the Atlantic ('oast Line and Seaboard Air Line Rail roads. The court, in a lengthy opinion, denied an injunction sought against the merger by the Florida East Coast Rail way, the Justice; Department and raliroad unions. The court previously had sent the case back to the In terstate Commerce Commis sion for further study but the Supreme Court said the fed eral court should make the decision. The Justice Department bad opposed the merger on Whitten Village Employees To Meet Che regular monthly meet- of the Whitten Village Employees’ Club will be held on Juno 16 at the Parents’ club house at 7:15 (Please note the change of time for this meeting only.)

The railroads said they would save more than $20 million a year with the merg er and this would enable them to improve service, re duce rates and eliminate many grade crossings. The ICC approved the merger in 1963 but the three- judge court ordered the com mission to re-study, it giving more weight to the effects of the Clayton Anti-Monopoly Act. It was then that the high court sent it back for further review. The Justice Department contended the ICC gave pri mary consideration to the fact that the merger would save money, despite the fact that both railroads were in good financial shape. In its 38-page opinion, ex pected to be appealed to the Supreme Court, the three judges said: “Since the ICC correctly applied the proper standards and thus exhibited the familiarity with the com plex problems in the trans portation industry which Con gress anticipates the ICC would achieve from its par ticular experience, we must and do sustain its order.” On the panel Were Judge Richard T. Rives of the 5th U. S. Circuit Court of Ap peals, and district judges Bryan Simpson and William A. McRae, Jr. Six student volunteers and two staff members of the Stu dent Program for Economic and Educational Development (SPEED-UP) begin work this week ih the Clinton area.
