The Woolworth Corporation said yesterday that the board would recommend that shareholders vote against a proposal made by Greenway Partners L.P., an asset management company, that the retailer, which is based in New York, spin off its athletic footwear and apparel division. Greenway Partners proposed the move on Feb. 1, saying that division -- which is mainly the Foot Locker chain -- would be more attractive as a separate company. Greenway holds 8 million shares, or 6 percent, of Woolworth's stock. Woolworth's board said the spinoff would not increase shareholder value. It said that would require the "operational turnaround" of several of its units.

COMPANY NEWS;CHIP MAKER ANNOUNCES CHARGE AND LAYOFFS
Date: 03 April 1996
Reuters
The National Semiconductor Corporation said yesterday that it would cut its worldwide work force by about 400 people and take a related charge of at least $20 million in the current fourth quarter. The chip maker said a slowdown in new orders for computer chips prompted the layoffs, which would involve mainly factory and administrative jobs. National Semiconductor, which employs 21,000 people worldwide, said last month that a slide in its third-quarter earnings was caused by a drop in worldwide orders and bookings, all stemming from the slowdown in PC sales. In the three months ended Feb. 25, the company earned $23 million, or 17 cents a share. National Semiconductor's stock lost 37.5 cents, to $14, on the New York Stock Exchange.
