WASHINGTON : A Senate judiciary subcommittee will shortly hold hearings on legislation which would permit the Government to sell General Aniline and Film Co. to American citizens. The bill is sponsored by the State De-" partment. Subcommittee chairman Johnston t D., S. C.) said he would expedite action on the measure, but it’s still unlikely that it will clear both House and Senate this session. The bill would authorize the President, if he feels the national interest required it, to sell General Aniline to U. S. citizens either on a high-bid or negotiated basis. IMoney received by the sale would be put in a special fund until the original ownership of the compaiiy is settled. Sale of the company has been blocked for many years while court litigation seeks to determine the original foreign ownership of the firm.
