Missouri Pacific
Asks Rejection Of
Examiner Plan
Urges !. c. c. to Allow
Composition With
Its Creditors
Nv the Associated Press.


The Missouri Pacific Railroad
asked the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today to reject an examiners
proposed plan of reorganization for
it, and to allow it to effect a COM
position" with its creditors.
Denial of an opportunity to SUBJ
init to vote of its creditors pro-
posal for composition will take from
the debtor missouri Pacific a right
given it by Congress, the railroad
said in a brief.
The composition theory, the Mis-
souri, Pacific explained. is that an
insolvent debtor may make an agree
ment of compromise with its cred
itors whereby the creditors relin-
quish some portion of their rights
and the debtor is enabled to retain
its property and business.
Stockholders Shut Out.
Under the reorganization plan
recommended some time ago by Ex-
aminer r. H. Jewell. present holders
of Missouri Pacific preferred and
common stock would have no par
ticipation in the reorganized COM
pany.
The Allegheny Corp, top holding
company in the railroad empire
formed by the late Van Sweringen
brothers, owns 522,900 shares, or 63
per cent, of Missouri Pacific's COM
mon stock and 1874, 100 shares, or q
per cent, of the preferred stock.
Under the examiners proposal,
the Allegheny Corp. would receive
Evening star., 1939-01-13

nothing for its stock, but would re-
ceive about $4,000, 900 of new COM
mon stock for 11,152, 900 Of con-
vertible 51z per cent bonds 1t now
holds.
The Missouri Pacific contendad
that its modified plan of reorgani-
zation, which was drastically altered
by the examiner, represented an
agreement with practically all
creditors.
Necessity Denied.
"The changes proposed by the ex-
aminer in the debtors plan of re-
organization are neither necessary
nor appropriate In the public in
terest," the railroads brief said.
"The plan proposed by the ex-
aminer violates any possible con-
struction of section n (of the Bank
ruptcy Act), increases the danger of
non-acceptance upon the vote Of
security holders, increases the prob
able dissatisfaction Of dissenting

Overnight selling orders were suf-

prices were no worse than moder-

Wall Street, generally, was unable
to discover any particularly out

the other hand. dispiriting news
was scarce. Selective recoveries were
attributed partly to the belief of
many the market had taken more
Of a beating than it deserved since
the turn of the year.
Handicaps were seen in the con-
gressional relief spending battle,
signs of seasonally Stacking business
trends and in the confusing "ap-
