JONES FIRM ON PLEA
OF ERIE TO GET LOAN
~ the Associated presx

BY the Associated Press
C. E. Denny, president Of the Erie
Railroad which failed to meet some
interest payments, conferred yesterday
with Jesse H. Jones. chairman of the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. but
received no encouragement in his ef-
forts to obtain s6.006,000 loan.
Jones said after the conference he
again had insisted that the Chesa-
peake & Ohio guarantee payment Of
the Erie loan. The C. e. o. had re-
fused to do so.
Asked if the loan was definitely out
unless the c. g. o. guaranteed it,
Jones said:
Il guess that's right. The situation
is not changed one bit. I do not ex-
pect further conferences with Mr..
Denny regarding the loan"
Jones issued a statement previously
in which he said failure of the Erie to
pay interest aggregating $1,000, 900
was caused entirely by refusal of
the c. & o. to assist the Erie.
