...afternoon some 8,000 French security police, gendarmes and mobile guards, with helmets, Tommy guns, gas masks and rifles, were ready in the square. That evening, Communists by the thousands tore loose with stones, iron bars, clubs, broken bottles and metal chairs there and at other salients-the Gare du Nord, the Gare de 1'Est and a Metro station appropriately named Stalingrad...
...armed police stood ready to block any demonstration at the lie de la Cite, where Duclos was being held, other police searched the Duclos home. Next day, the police raided Communist headquarters all over France. As 400 cops leaped from vans outside the massive stone building marked Comite Central du Parti Communisté in Paris, three lookouts slammed the door. A moment later, dense smoke began pouring from the chimney. By the time the police broke in half an hour later, most of the evidence was gone. Other raids were more productive. Lyon yielded a rich crop of stolen French...
...seven years, the Justice Department's cartel-busting case against Wilmington's Du Pont and Britain's Imperial Chemical Industries has dragged through U.S. courts. In the interim both companies, charged with dividing up the world's chemical market and restricting production, have voluntarily taken steps to make the charges obsolete.

Nevertheless, in Manhattan's federal court last week, Judge Sylvester Ryan ruled that none of this was sufficient. In an opinion outlining the decree which he will shortly issue, Judge Ryan said that Du Pont and I.C.I., which he had already found guilty of violating anti-trust laws, must divest themselves of three of their five jointly owned companies in Canada and South America, with total assets of $400 million. Moreover, he found that Du Pont, as a penalty for having "misused" its patents on nylon, will have to make them available to all comers for a reasonable royalty...
...Department of Justice's trustbusters wanted Judge Ryan to go further in punishment, open up all of Du Font's future patents. This Judge Ryan sternly refused to do. He termed the demand itself unprecedented in law, and added that it "would be punitive as well as destructive of that driving incentive which has accounted for much of the remarkable development of the chemical industry." Noting that Du Pont had spent a total of $196.8 million to bring nylon from test tube to mass production, he observed that it is also spending $45 million a year on research...
