Baird Co. shares have fallCn and U.M.I. shares have risen sliaiply. Baird Television, Ltd. has issuod a statement. It gave an assuranee that tho decision does not xuean tho settingup of a monopolistic situation and it cannot be too strongly emphasised that the adoption of a single standard does not mean the adoption of a particular system.
