The Justice Department said
yesterday II would not institute

Mr.. Hansen's decision and

United Press.
Some members OF Congress
demanded an Injunction pro-
ceeding 10 halt the merger OF
the two press wire services
when II was announced last
Saturday.
In his letter TO Mr.. Bartholo-
NEW, Mr.. Hansen stated.
Immediately after learning

BY DONALD h. HADLEY

ATLANTIC CITY. May 30
With mortgage money plenti-

Washington Savings and Loan
executives we're advised today
10 study the possibility OF low

Speakers at the 50th annual
meeting OF the District Savings

tight-money conditions and ris-
ing interest rates in 1857 and
plentiful money and lower in
terest rates In 1858.
Most OF the District associa-
tons with nearly 345,000 saw
ings members increased divi-
dend rates last year. Some are
reported now considering cut
backs TO meet the new situation.
Todays speakers questioned
how much a savings and loan
association can pay In divi-
dends, charge reasonable in
terest rates on home mort
cages, and at the same time
provide adequate and sound re-
serves.
