RECEIVERSHIP SUIT
St. Louis & San Francisco Head

holders Charges.
BY the Associated Press.


ST. LOUIS, August 26.-Officers of
the st. Louis & San Francisco Railroad,
for which a receivership was asked yes
terday by two bondholders, said today
the application would be opposed by the
roads management.
The suit was filed in Federal Court

They ask for a receiver to conserve
assets and for an injunction to prevent
the railroad and its officers from dis
posing of properties. They also ask
that other bondholders, stockholders
and creditors be permitted to intervene
as interested parties.
President j. M. Kurn said the bond
holders have no basis on which they can
throw the road into receivership. The
application was filed at time when a
financial readjustment was in progress
designed to save the road from receiver
ship.
President Kurn said there Is no de-
fault in the prior lien mortgage or any
other mortgages and that no interest
is due on prior lien bonds until Janu-

are deposited with the company under
the readjustment plan, prior to Septem-
Der /, the company will be able to pay
the interest on consolidated bonds due
at that date and to be able to carry
out its readjustment plan.

In his speech, Fort said: We want

that other lenders do likewise There

1T would be shameful if. with relief
In sight SO soon, the courage and hope
Of our men and women should be ex-

There are two major evils which can
be attacked at once" he said. The
first is the foreclosure of existing mort
gages-Sometime because of arrearages
OF interest or taxes, but quite as often
because Of refusal to renew or continue
them. This condition has been accentu-
ated by the tremendous number Of re-
ceiverships Of banks and other lending

OlhlBulS IOIeClOouTe proceedings. Inc
Reconstruction Finance Corporation can
loan to these receivers against the
mortgage funds with which to pay out
depositors. Therefore, such fore
closures must stop until the home loan
banks are functioning and pouring new
funds into the mortgage investment
field.
Then somebody must begin loaning
now. There are two types of loans
which the public must have and which,
If made. will speed the general recov-
cry. Recovery from depression begins
when things wear out and must be
replaced or repaired. Real estate re-
pairs to preserve the value of prop
erty will be the first help the building
industry can get. The funds must be

| No immediate comment was forthcom-
ing from Treasury officials regarding
the announcement, but it was pointed
out that the receivers in carrying out
the instructions would look first to safe
| guarding the interests of depositors Of
suspended banks
Where the receivers, without affect
ing the interests of the depositors, could
delay foreclosing on property and thus
enable home owners to work out ~
the situation, it would be done.
