Department OF Justice officials are
looking forward eagerly to the early
decision Of the case involving the dis
solution Of the Standard OH cOmbina-
ton
II is expected the decision in this
case win be handed down In month or
six weeks.
This is the case begun in the United
States circuit court for the eighth cir
cult IN consequence Of the determination
OF President Roosevelt TO smash the
Standard" Il was submitted 10 the
court he middle Of last April The
special counsel for the Government,
Frank B. Kellogg, was hopeful at tie

controversy should not be fought

preme Court. the highest tribunal, be-
fore many more months.
The Government officials are hopeful
Of winning the suit begun at St Louis.
They are well-nigh confident the de
cision viii be in their favor This is the
opinion OF Mr.. Kellogg. who believes
ne has the Standard beaten. and It is
the opinion OF the Government attor-
neys who have been following the case.

It goes almost without saying that II
the Government should be beaten IN this
case. IN view OF the showing made, il
would be a paralyzng blow at the Sher-
man law and at the power OF the
Government over great combinations of
