By ScriDps-Hor0rd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-In line
with a new policy Of the govern

ed by Attorney General william D.
Mitchell at the annual meeting of
the American Bar Association, three
big margers formed within the last
few weeks have been negotiated
without help from the department
OF justice.
Under Colonel William J. Dono-
van, former assistant attorney gen.
eral, it was the practice for the
department Of justice to give advice
in advance to big corporations plan
ming mergers. Donovan always ex-
planned that such advice did not
give immunity from prosecution I'M

policy was under fire in the senate
q number of times.
Mitchell, at the bar association
meeting, said the encouragement

violate any federal statute. indicat-

The latest merger is that of the
Kraft-Phoenix Cheese Corporation,
the Hershey Chocolate Corporation
and the Colgate-Palm Olive-Peet
Company, under the auspices of
the National City bank, into a

Since Mitchell took Office, the
Fleischmann Company, Royal Bak-

Gillet Co., Ltd, have been tied to-
gether by the j. P. Morgan Com
