Equipment Shifted
By Missouri Pacific
orCo||ateraI
Carrier and Trustees
PIon Change After
WPB Seizure
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, June 2-The Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad has arranged
with the trustees of its series "GG"
21a per cent equipment trust cer-
tiflcates to substitute available
equipment as collateral for that por-
ton of the rolling stock previously
pledged but which the road was un-
able to produce because the War
Production Board seized it. y
Within recent weeks several prom
inent carriers have been faced with
the same situation due to the gen.
eral order of the WPB taking con-
troll of all equipment in process of
being turned out for various car
riers and making whatever dispo-
Sition of 1t the board chose.
Each railroad tackled the problem
in the light of its own individual
circumstances, some arranging with
trustees Of the equipment trust Ger
tiflcates to substitute Government
bonds in lieu of the rolling stock
taken by the Government and
others devising other means, in
cluding pooling of equipment.
When the WPB issued its direc-
tive seizing all equipment on order
for railroads with the intention of
diverting it to the place most ur-
gently needed, carriers found them
selves confronted with a novel prob
lem. They had contracted with
bankers to finance the rolling stock
as 1t was delivered to them, the
equipment itself constituting the
main collateral behind the loans.
When the carriers were unable to
obtain the equipment, they had to
arrange substitutions or pay interest
on the money during the life of the
loan and see it remain idle Equip
ment trust certificate indentures
usually provide for the appointment
OF trustee for each issue who
handles both the original funds
loaned to pay for the equipment
and the installments paid by the
railroads to liquidate the loan. The
railroads have no direct control of
the money and the trustee is spe-
cif1cally bound by the contract as
to its disposition.
A high degree of cooperation
between the bankers, the trustees
and the railroads was said to have
enabled speedy solutions of most OF
the problems thus far presented by
the WPB seizure order.
