Stockholders of the other two firms vote on the merger Febru ary 17—Robbins in New York City and American Woolen in Boston. Involved are four Robbins Mills plants in North Carolina two in Moore County at Aber deen and Robbins and others at Raeford and Red Springs. A special meeting of Textron stockholders was held at Provi dence, R. I., but Royal Little, chairman of the firm’s board, an nounced the results to a news conference here. Little said he hoped if the mer-* ger went through—with himself as chairamn of the board of the new company and Textron Pres ident Robert L. Huffihes Jr., as its president—the new Textron American Inc. operation “would run about 50-50 textile and non textile.” He explained that non-textile operations account for about 40 per cent of Textron’s volume. “After we put them together (Textron, American and Rob bins),” he said, “we’ll have about 20 million dollars available for diversification.” Mr. Huffines recently bought a home in Pinehurst and moved there with his family.
