The Missouri Pacific has been in

The bond issue is due on May /.
Several other items of debt, including
taxes and interest on other indebted
ness Of Nthe Missouri Pacific and its
subsidiaries. fall due at various times
during April.
The appeal to the court is based on
a recently passed law which permits
debtor to go into court for the purpose
of reorganization rather than to 20

pensive receiverships invoked in the
past.
II rs per cent Of the creditors agree
