Trust Buster Behind Hello Combine Plans for Western Union Stock
Washington January 8 preliminary plans for disposing of 29 million dollars in Western Union stock are under review by G C Todd assistant to Attorney General McReynolds in the Sherman anti trust probe.

A final decision may take weeks and the Justice Department intends to give AT&T time to dispose of the stock without harming stockholders.
