Needs for Wabash
Seen as Possibility
Treasurer Says Sharp
Boost in Estimates
May Be Necessary
BY the Associated Press.

A. K. Atkinson, treasurer for the
receiver of the Wabash Railway Co.,
said yesterday that changed business
conditions might require the road
to purchase as much new equipment
in 1941 as it had planned to buy in
the next five years.
Mr.. Atkinson, testifying at an In
terstate Commerce Commission
hearing on reorganization plan
for the Wabash. explained that the
proposal provided 100000 to be
used as down payments on railroad
equipment in the next five years.
Indications are that a considera-
BILE portion of the sum may be re-
quired for equipment purchases be-
fore next July, he said.
Mr.. A.&inson said that one of the
main purposes of the reorganization
plan was to provide additional cash
for the road and that the new COM
pany which would be created under
1t would be able to start off with
about $3,000000 in working capital.
In addition, he said that it was
proposed that $2.000,00O be set aside
to meet reorganization expenses and
taxes.
