CORPORATIONS DROP PLANS TO COMBINE

Announced plans to combine the coal operations of AMVEST Corp. and The United Co., two Virginia coal corporations, have been dropped.

The heads of the two companies, Carl Smith of AMVEST and Jim McGlothlin of United, said only that tax issues and other legal problems came up and could not be resolved to the satisfaction of both parties.
