PROXY STATEMENT

IN OPPOSITION TO

MANAGEMENT AND THE CURRENT BOARD OF
DIRECTORS

OF

DDL ELECTRONICS, INC.

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
SCHEDULED FOR MAY 31, 1995


Dear Fellow Shareholders in DDL ELECTRONICS, INC.:

     This Proxy Statement is being sent to you by a group of your
fellow stockholders,
SCRMM ("Shareholders' Committee to Remove a Moribund
Management"), in connection with
our solicitation of proxies to be used at the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders of DDL Electronics,
Inc. ("DDL"), now set for Wednesday, May 31, 1995, at 10:00 AM
local time in Rosemont,
Illinois.  Shareholders of DDL as of April 17, 1995, are entitled
to vote at the forthcoming
Annual Meeting.  We seek your proxy to:

1.   TAKE CONTROL OF DDL BY THE ONLY METHOD
AVAILABLE -
     EXPANDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND
ELECTING A NEW
     MAJORITY - TO BRING AN END TO THE
DISAPPOINTING RESULTS THAT
     THE CURRENT BOARD HAS OBTAINED FOR YOU
SINCE THEY HIRED
     CURRENT MANAGEMENT 3.5 YEARS AGO, AND

2.   ELECT A NEW MAJORITY OF THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS, WHICH WILL
     HAVE AS ITS SOLE OBJECTIVE TO INCREASE THE
SALES, EARNINGS,
     BOOK VALUE, CASH FLOW, SHARE TRADING VOLUME
AND SHARE
     PRICE OF DDL. 

IF YOU OWN YOUR SHARES IN DDL IN THE NAME OF A
BROKERAGE FIRM, YOU
MUST TELL YOUR BROKER HOW TO VOTE YOUR SHARES. 
YOUR BROKERS CAN
NOT VOTE AS YOU WISH UNLESS YOU GIVE THEM
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS TO
DO SO.  THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN BE CONVEYED BY
SIGNING, DATING AND
MAILING YOUR GREEN PROXY CARD TODAY.

PLEASE DO NOT RETURN THE PROXY CARD SENT TO
YOU BY DDL
MANAGEMENT.  IF YOU HAVE ALREADY RETURNED
DDL'S PROXY, YOU HAVE
THE RIGHT TO REVOKE THIS AUTHORIZATION BY
RETURNING OUR LATER
PROXY.  ONLY YOUR LATEST DATED, PROPERLY
EXECUTED PROXY WILL
COUNT AT THE ANNUAL MEETING. THE ONLY WAY YOU
CAN VOTE FOR OUR
NOMINEES IS TO COMPLETE AND RETURN THE
ENCLOSED GREEN PROXY CARD.

     We urge you to join us, by giving SCRMM your proxy, to put
a new team in control of
the Board of Directors of DDL.  VOTE FOR an end to the
performance of the past three and a
half years.  VOTE FOR placing control of DDL in the hands of
your fellow shareholders who
have the same desires as you to see the sales, earnings, book
value, and stock price of DDL
increase.  We have no doubt that our proposed slate of Directors
will accomplish considerably
better results for DDL shareholders than we have seen under
the current Board of Directors.  


                VOTE FOR THE FOLLOWING PROPOSALS:


PROPOSAL 1: NOMINEES FOR ELECTION AS DIRECTORS

     The DDL's Board of Directors is presently composed of four
Directors, divided into
three classes of Directors who serve for three-year terms: one in
Class I (whose term of office
expires in 1996), two in Class II (whose term of office expired in
1994) , and one in Class III
(whose term of office expires in 1995).  The two Class II
Directors to be elected at the Annual
Meeting scheduled for May 31 will serve until the 1997 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders, and
thereafter until their successors shall have been elected and
qualified.

     In opposition to the two incumbent Class II Directors put
forward for re-election by
DDL, SCRMM proposes two experienced and exceptionally
well-qualified nominees.  If elected,
these two nominees would hold two of the four seats on the
Board of Directors as presently
constituted.

     Each nominee has consented to serve as a director of DDL if
elected.  SCRMM does not
expect that either of the nominees will be unable to stand for
election but, in the event that a
vacancy in the slate of nominees should occur unexpectedly, the
Shares represented by the
enclosed GREEN Proxy Card will be voted for a substitute
candidate selected by SCRMM.

     The following information concerning business address, age,
and principal occupation
has been furnished by SCRMM's nominees.

     None of the nominees has ever been convicted in a criminal

proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction and as a result of such
proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order
enjoining further violations of,
or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities
laws or finding any violation of
such laws. Additional information concerning nominees who
own stock in DDL is provided in
Appendix A hereto.

     SCRMM urges you to sign, date and return the enclosed
GREEN proxy card to vote
for the election of SCRMM's nominees as Directors.


PROPOSAL NO. 2:    AMENDMENT OF THE BYLAWS TO
SET THE NUMBER OF DIRECTORS AT SEVEN

         Section 3.02 of DDL's Bylaws deals with the number and
term of office of members of the
Board of Directors.  According to identical copies of the Bylaws
provided by DDL's Chief
Executive Officer in June 1994, and in January 1995 by
Disclosure Information Services, Inc.,
Section 3.02 provides:

             "SECTION 3.02   Number and Term of Office.  The
number of directors shall
             be seven (7).  Directors need not be stockholders.  Each
of the directors of the
             Corporation shall hold office until his successor shall
have been duly elected and
             shall qualify or until he shall resign or shall have been
removed in the manner
             hereinafter provided."  (Emphasis supplied)  

This notwithstanding, DDL has set the size of the current Board
of Directors at four.  The
October 28, 1993, proxy statement of DDL, relating to the last
Annual Meeting of Shareholders
held in December 1993, says that the Board of Directors "in
accordance with DDL's Bylaws,
reduced the size of the Board of Directors to three. . . ."  A
Company press release subsequently
announced that the size of the Board of Directors had been
increased to four with the addition of
Mr. Coyne, an employee of DDL.  

         The size of the Board has been shrinking and growing
more inbred.  In recent years,
with each available vacancy the current Board of Directors has
reduced the overall size of
the Board so that no new member was elected.  We believe that
this has deprived DDL of
new ideas and expertise on the Board of Directors, qualities
which DDL desperately needs.

         Accordingly, pursuant to Bylaw Section 8.03,  SCRMM
proposes that the shareholders adopt
the following Proposal to amend Bylaw Section 3.02:

         "PROPOSAL NO. 2:

             Effectively immediately upon adoption by the
Shareholders, Section 3.02 of DDL's
         Bylaws are amended as follows:

             Text of Amendment

              SECTION 3.02   Number and Term of Office.  The
number of directors shall
             be not less than seven (7).  Directors need not be
stockholders.  Each of the
             directors of the Corporation shall hold office until his
successor shall have been
             duly elected and shall qualify or until he shall resign or
shall have been removed
             in the manner hereinafter provided.' (New language
shown in italics)

         Immediately following adoption of this amendment to the
Bylaws, there shall be an
         election of the number of new Directors required to comply
with the Bylaw provision that
         there be no less than the seven (7) members of the Board. 
Persons elected will be
         classified on the basis of the number of votes received.  The
two nominees receiving the
         highest number of votes case will become members of Class
I, with terms expiring at the
         annual meeting of shareholders in 1996; the nominee
receiving the next highest number of
         votes will be elected as a member of Class III, with a term
expiring at the annual meeting
         of shareholders in 1995. "


         Provided that a quorum of a majority of the outstanding
shares of DDL's Common Stock is
present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present
and voting is required in order for
Proposal No. 2 to be adopted.


PROPOSAL 3:  NOMINEES FOR ELECTION AS NEW
DIRECTORS ON THE SEVEN MEMBER BOARD

         Assuming that the Shareholders adopt Proposal No. 2
setting the number of Directors at
seven, effective immediately upon adoption, it will then be
necessary for the Annual Meeting to
elect three new Board members.

         The election will be conducted in accordance with the
provisions of DDL's Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws governing the election of Directors. 
Specifically, Stockholders are
entitled to cumulate their votes in the election of Directors by
casting for the election of one
nominee a number of votes equal to the number of Directors to
be elected (i.e., three) multiplied
by the number of shares owned by the Stockholder, or may
distribute such votes on the same
principle among as many candidates as the Stockholder sees fit. 
If a proxy is marked for the
election of Directors, it may, at the discretion of the proxy
holders, be voted cumulatively in the
election of Directors.

         If a quorum is present at the meeting, the nominees for
election as Directors who receive the
greatest number of votes cast at the meeting by shares present
in person or by proxy and entitled
to vote thereon, shall be elected as Directors.

         SCRMM has a slate of experienced and highly qualified
nominees for these three seats on the
Board. 

         Each nominee named below has consented to serve as a
director of DDL if elected.  In the
event that a vacancy in the slate of nominees should occur
unexpectedly, the Shares voted for
that nominee as represented by the enclosed GREEN Proxy
Card will be voted for a substitute
candidate selected by SCRMM. 

         The nominees have provided the following information
concerning business address, age, and
principal occupation.

         None of the nominees has been convicted in a criminal

None of the nominees has been a

         SCRMM urges you to sign, date and return the enclosed
GREEN proxy card to vote for
the election of SCRMM's nominees as Directors.


                        VOTING OF PROXIES

         Unless otherwise indicated, the persons named in the
accompanying GREEN Proxy Card will
vote properly executed, dated, and duly returned proxies (1)
FOR the election of Bernee D.L.
Strom and Erven Tallman as Class II Directors, (2) FOR the
amendment of Bylaw 3.02 to set the
membership of the Board of Directors at not less than seven,
effective immediately upon
adoption, and to require the immediate election of three new
members of the Board of Directors
following adoption of the Bylaw amendment, (3) FOR the
election of Melvin Foster, Don A.
Raig, and Robert G. Wilson as members of the Board of
Directors to serve for a term of up to
three years, depending upon the number of votes received, until
the 1997 annual meeting of
shareholders and until their successors are elected and
qualified, and (4) in accordance with their
judgment on such other business as may be properly presented
to the meeting and any
adjournment or postponement thereof.

         GREEN Proxy Cards should be signed, dated and returned
in the postage-paid envelope
provided.  Execution of the enclosed GREEN Proxy Card will not
affect a shareholder's right to
attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person.  A shareholder
who has given a proxy may
revoke it at any time before such proxy is voted either by a later
dated proxy or by voting
in person at the Annual Meeting.  Attendance at the Annual
Meeting will not in and of itself
constitute a revocation.  If you were a shareholder on the Record
Date, you will retain your
voting rights in connection with the Annual Meeting even if you
sell or sold such Shares after
the Record Date.  Accordingly, it is important that you vote the
Shares held by you on the
Record Date or grant a proxy to vote such Shares whether or not
you still own the stock.

         Shareholders cannot select Directors from among those
proposed by DDL and SCRMM. 
Therefore, if you wish to support SCRMM's nominees, your last
dated, properly executed
proxy must be a GREEN Proxy Card.


       YOUR INVESTMENT IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE
BARREL. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
                                
         Your DDL investment has hit the bottom of the barrel and
stayed there.  The majority of the
present Board of Directors and management team has been in
control at DDL since January 1992
(approximately 3.5 years or 1,200 days).  The stock's
performance during this period speaks for
itself no matter what criteria you would like to choose.

         SCRMM has prepared an array of statistical and graphical
data, from standard sources, in
order to assist you in making an informed opinion regarding the
stewardship of your company.
The data is presented in two forms and requires some
explanation:

         1.  DDL SPECIFIC DATA:  Because DDL has had a
negative net worth, large write-offs,
         significant asset sales, bond-to-stock conversions, and
other non-recurring transactions, many
         of the standard measures of financial performance are not
relevant.  Consequently, we have
         focused on incontestable numbers such as revenues,
operating income, book value per share
         and, course, stock price:

         The picture this data paints is one of a rapidly shrinking
company but with an
         increasing number of shares outstanding.  Its survival for
the last three years has
         depended on the conversion of $12 million of bonds into
common stock and the exercise
         of $3,500,000 of warrants rather than any operating
successes.

         2.  DDL COMPARED TO PEER GROUPS:  Because DDL
does not exist in a vacuum, we
         feel it is important to compare the performance of DDL to
its peers.  A large and respected
         financial data base firm (Bridge Information Systems)
classifies companies into industry
         segments.  DDL is classified in industry 255 (Electrical
Components and Parts).  Its peer
         group consists of 30 firms that are listed on the New York
Stock Exchange and 50 that are
         traded on NASDAQ's National Market System. 

         The peer groups appear to have done pretty well over the
past three and one-half years. 
Not so for DDL. 

         The graph below depicts the 10 year price movement of
DDL stock compared to the DDL
peer groups.  (Current outside members of the Board of
Directors have served on this Board
since 1986.)  Notice the dramatic percentage rise in the industry
stock prices since 1991.  DDL's
percentage stock price change has not kept pace.  The gap
between DDL and its peers has
widened as DDL continues to underperform its industry peer
group even with a management
change at the end of 1991.  This is not a record for DDL's
management to be proud of -- and it
certainly does not reflect a turnaround during the period that
Mr. Cook has been Chief Executive
Officer.
     Next, consider the graph of Quarterly Sales Growth
Compared to Prior Year.  Again, we see
this alarming trend - the NYSE industry peer group shows a
substantial and regular percentage
increase since 1992, while DDL's sales growth, after a positive
trend in 1993, has dropped and
dropped and dropped dramatically since the beginning of 1994.  
     Finally, review the ranking of your company, DDL, with its
peer group:

     Who is responsible for keeping DDL out of the bottom of the
barrel?  Who is
responsible for maintaining revenues and stock indices at least
similar to the industry? 
The Board of Directors and management are responsible.  It is
the Board of Directors'
responsibility to ensure that management performs.


 WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE JOB THEY HAVE DONE SO FAR?  

     The current Board of Directors and management (as a team)
have watched over the
continuing abysmal performance of DDL for at least 3.5 years. 
They have had almost 1200 days
to turn around DDL's performance and increase the value of
your investment.  Instead, they have
watched your shares trade at  prices approaching liquidation
value and watched the average daily
trading volume decline to 15,800, from 42,000 in 1993, while the
number of outstanding shares
more than doubled.

     These pictures speak volumes.   

     While past results are never a certain indicator of future
results, they are used by educated
men and women in their decision making process.  The past
results of the current Board of
Directors and their management team speak for themselves.

 WHAT DOES THE MARKET THINK?

     In addition to these statistics, there is another indicator of
the performance of the current
Board of Directors and their management team:  the market
itself.   On a daily basis, buyers and
sellers come together to determine the value of assets such as
your investment in DDL -- using
hard, cold cash, they vote on the prospects for the company. 
Over the past three and one-half
years, the market has voted on the prospects for DDL.  Their
vote places DDL's average share
price in the lowest one percent of its New York Stock Exchange
peer group. We believe that the
market has voted thumbs down on the current Board of
Directors and their management team's
likelihood of success with our company.

     We all should be concerned with the force of this thumbs
down vote, echoed by the average
daily trading value of shares traded over the last thirty days
which ranks us in the bottom ten
percent of peer group stocks traded.  If the value of our DDL
shares is to increase, there have to
be interested buyers in sufficient numbers to drive up the share
price.  We suggest that this low
share trading volume reflects investor's lack of interest in and a
lack of confidence in the current
Board of Directors and their management team. If investors had
any confidence in the potential
success of the present Board of Directors and their management
team, then the stock we all own
would not be trading near its liquidation value.

     We agree with the market.  After working with this current
management team, we have
lost confidence in their ability either to formulate or to
implement a sound strategic plan. 
We have lost confidence that the current Board of Directors or
its management team can
either identify the most promising and attractive candidates or
follow through with the
consummation of a merger, acquisition or consolidation which
will be beneficial to the
shareholders of DDL. 

Take this opportunity, VOTE THIS PROXY and remove the
current Board who is
responsible for the results depicted above.


                          WHAT IS SCRMM?
            WHAT WILL SCRMM DO FOR YOU AND AT WHAT COST?

     SCRMM is a group of your fellow shareholders who have
banded together under the name of
the Shareholders' Committee to Remove a Moribund
Management ("SCRMM").  Collectively,
the members of SCRMM own, or beneficially own, 3,950,956
shares of stock in DDL
Electronics, Inc., constituting 25.9 percent of the shares entitled
to vote at the forthcoming
Annual Meeting scheduled for May 31.

     The members of SCRMM are not corporate gadflies.  We are
responsible business people and
investors with a unity of interests with you and most of the
other shareholders in DDL.  We want
DDL to be a successful company. We want the stock price to go up.  
     
     SCRMM is offering the shareholders the opportunity to elect
a slate of Directors that will be
able to lead DDL in a new direction -- upward.  We believe that
the urgency of a change is painfully obvious.

     First ask, "What has SCRMM done for DDL to date?"  The
answer is enlightening - members
have helped keep DDL alive by providing cash and converting
millions of dollars in corporate
bonds into stock.  The impact of this group's involvement is
telling.  Look at the following chart
showing the price action of DDL, annotated with SCRMM
member's actions on behalf of DDL: 
  
     
          It is more than fair for you to ask "What exactly will
SCRMM do for me, a shareholder,
if it is successful in its efforts to remove those responsible for the
mediocre and altogether
unimpressive performance of DDL over the past three and
one-half years?"  Our agenda is as
follows:

1.   We have put forward a slate of Directors with substantial
business, corporate management,
     legal and accounting experience, four of whom are
substantial shareholders in DDL.  They
     want what you want.

2.   Our slate of Directors will conduct an assessment of DDL's
assets, liabilities and operating
     position, seeking to generate an immediate increase in
corporate sales revenues and the
     elimination of any non-productive corporate expenses.

3.   Our slate of Directors will put in place a management team
which will aggressively manage
     DDL so that you have a chance to receive higher returns on
your investment in DDL.

4.   Our slate of Directors will work to restore credibility and
develop a following for our
     company among institutional investors, money managers and
other professional investors so
     that the price of your shares has a better opportunity to
appreciate in value.

5.   Our slate of Directors will reevaluate the lucrative stock
option and restricted stock award
     benefit plans put in place by the current Board of Directors
and their management team and, if
     they so determine, propose to stockholders that these plans
be significantly modified or
     terminated.

6.   Our slate of Directors will employ their skills and the skills
of other experts to fully utilize
     our company's assets in a series of one or more business
combinations which improve the
     performance of DDL and the value of your shares of stock.

7.   As they develop and implement a new strategic plan, our
slate of Directors will always place
     your interests as shareholders first.


      WHAT SPECIFIC STEPS ARE NECESSARY TO CHANGE
CONTROL OF DDL? 

     Preliminarily, you need to know that the Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws of DDL
provide for cumulative voting and staggered terms for its
Directors.  The cumulative voting
provision permits each stockholder to multiply the number of
Directors standing for election by
the number of shares of stock that he owns, and cast some or all
of his votes for any one or more
of the Directors standing for election.  The staggered terms for
Directors means that only a
portion of the Directors stand for election at any one time; in the
case of DDL, there are three
classes of Directors with members of each class serving a
three-year term.  

     Cumulative voting and staggered terms for Directors are
protective measures designed to
provide corporate management insulation from the voting power
of the shareholders.  They are
intended to make it very difficult to effect a change in corporate
control, i.e. to change a majority
of the Board of Directors.  This may be true even in situations in
which the stockholders
represent a clear majority of the outstanding stock of DDL.  

     In this instance, since there are four members on the present
Board, and only two Directors
are standing for election this year, it is necessary for your fellow
stockholders at SCRMM not
only to put forth its own slate of two Directors in opposition to
the re-election of management's
two candidates but also to amend the Bylaws to expand the
Board to seven members.  If our
nominees are also elected to the three new seats on the
expanded Board, five of the seven
members of the Board of Directors will be new members.  A
majority of the Board of Directors
should have the power to set corporate policy and to guide
corporate management, including any
necessary changes in the current management team.                    
         


                   PROXY SOLICITATION; EXPENSES

     Proxies may be solicited by members of SCRMM and their
nominees by mail, telephone,
telecopier and personal solicitation.  Regular employees of
Fortuna and Karen Brenner
Investment Advisor may be used to solicit proxies, and when
used, will not receive additional
compensation for this work.  Banks, broker houses and other
custodians, nominees and
fiduciaries will be requested to forward the soliciting matter of
SCRMM to their customers for
whom they hold shares, and SCRMM will reimburse them for
their reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses.

     SCRMM has retained Beacon Hill Partners, Inc., 90 Broad
Street, New York, New York,
10004, assist in the solicitation of proxies.  SCRMM has agreed
to pay Beacon Hill Partners,
Inc.,  a fee of up to $14,000, and to reimburse it for its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. 
Approximately 15 people will be used by Beacon Hill Partners,
Inc. in its solicitation efforts. 
The entire expense of preparing, assembling, printing a mailing
this Proxy Statement and related
materials and the cost of soliciting proxies for the nominees
proposed by SCRMM will be borne
by SCRMM.

     SCRMM anticipates that its total expenditures relating to
the solicitation will be
approximately $75,000 (excluding costs represented by salaries
and wages of regular employees
of Fortuna and Karen Brenner Investment Advisor); total
expenditures to date have been
approximately $25,000.  All expenses of the solicitation will be
borne by the members of
SCRMM in a manner to be determined by them.  SCRMM will
seek reimbursement from DDL
for those expenses and does not intend to seek shareholder
approval for such reimbursement at a
subsequent meeting unless such approval is required under
Delaware law.

       The members of SCRMM have incurred certain professional
fees and expenses in the
solicitation of your proxy; if SCRMM prevails in this matter,
then it is the intention of SCRMM
to seek reimbursement from DDL for the monies that it has
advanced, insofar as permitted under
the laws of the State of Delaware.


                                 
                          OTHER MATTERS

     SCRMM is not aware of any other matters scheduled to be
presented at the Annual Meeting. 
If any other matters properly come before the meeting, the
persons named in the enclosed
GREEN Proxy Card will have discretionary authority to vote all
proxies with respect to such
matters in accordance with their judgment.


                    WHAT SHOULD YOU DO NEXT?
              IT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS . . . JOIN US!

     We strongly urge you to join us by (1) NOT returning the
proxy cards sent to you by the
current Board of Directors of DDL and, more importantly, by (2)
voting FOR the Shareholders'
slate of Director nominees by signing, dating, and mailing the
enclosed GREEN Proxy Card
today.  It is clearly time for a change.

     We welcome you aboard and should you have any questions
on when or how to vote your
shares, you should feel free to call our proxy solicitors at
1-800-755-5001.
     
     Sincerely,

     Your Fellow Shareholders at SCRMM
