TO HALT STEEL FIRMS' MEASURE 1 Plan Would Not Violate Anti-Trust Act, Federal Judge Rules GOVERNMENT PLANS TO APPEAL RULING Consolidation To Make Republic Third Largest Concern Cleveland, May 3 (U.R) Merger of the Republic Steel Corporation and Corrigan McKinney Steel Company was given the approval of Federal Court today when Judge Frederick M. Raymond ruled against the Gov ernment in its suit to block the amalgamation, i Judge Raymond ruled that the pro posed $323,000,000 merger would not be in violation of the Clayton Anti- Trust Act, as charged by Government attorneys.

Emerich B. Freed, United States Dis trict Attorney here in whose name the Government's suit was filed, aaid the Government probably would appeal Judge Raymond's decision to a higher court. Completion of the consolidation, al ready approved by stockholders of both companies, will consolidate Re public in third position in the steel industry, topped only by United States Steel and Bethlehem. Merger Elevates Glrdler The merger will elevate Tom M. Girdler, Republic chairman, to one of the most powerful places in the steel industry.

Judge Raymond ruled that the Gov ernment had failed to furnish sufficient proof that the merger would cause "any substantial lessening of competition" or would result in "any probable injury to the public." The Government opened its battle to halt the merger February 7 when Walter L. Rice, youthful special Assistant Attorney-General, announced he was filing the injunction suit al the direction of Attorney-General Homer S. Cummings. The Government claimed that ac quisition of Corrigan-McKinney by Republic would constitute a violation of the Clayton Anti-Trust Act by eliminating competition between the two companies. Federal Judge Paul Jones granted (he Government's request for a tempo rary restraining order, but disqualified himself from conducting the hearing on the permanent injunction because members of his family and close friends were interested in the steel industry.

Rice and Russell Hardy, also an As sistant United States Attomey-GenenJ, sought to show through charts and fig ures that Republic, already the third largest steel corporation in the United States, would be placed in a far more advantageous position if the merger was consummated. Government witnesses contended that competition ui the products made by the two 'om panies and their subsidiaries would be substantially reduced; that prices could be increased and fixed.
