charge of Prosecutor Benson which the

The effect of these two decisions has

association, an interlocutory decree
against the Powder Trust with direc-

dissolution, and other combinations of
a similar history are now negotiating
with the Department of Justice looking
to disintegration by decree and re-
organization in accordance with law
1t seems possible to bring about these
reorganizations without general busi-

ident insists, and says:
In the recent decisions the Supreme
Court makes clear that there is moth
