5O0-Mi|Iion Debt
Adjustment Proposal
Ey the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 21.-The Bal
timore g. Ohio Railroads $500, ,000,-
900 debit djustment plan-de-
scribed by railroad ofncials at "a
preliminary hearing as the largest
reflnancing operation of its type
in railroad history-was approved
yesterday by special three Judge
court.
The plan affects eight classes of
security holders, its principal ef-
feet being to postpone the debt ma
turtles for periods from 20 to so
years, depending on the class Of
bonds.
While the interest rate of the
issue remained unchanged, about
one-third of the total annual fixed
charges of $4,000, 900 was made
contingent on the sufiiciency of
current annual net income, the
court noted. Deferred payments,
however, would be cumulative.
The courts opinion, reached after
two months of deliberation, was
written by Federal Judge w. Calvin
Chestnut and concurred in by Cir
cult Court of Appeals Judges
Armistead M. Dobie and Morris A.
Soper.
The plan followed a similar ad-
justment in 1888, which the court
said had been successful. As a result
of the 1898 moratorium, the road
since 1941 had suficient net income
to meet all interest payments and
had retired more than 500, ,OO0, 600
in obligations, the court said.
"But despite this,"'' the opinion
stated, "the evidence in this case
shows it was not financially possible
in 1914 for the railroad to refund
the Indebtedness to the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corp"
The opinion discussed the accusa-
tions of an opponent of the plan,
Randolph Phillips. an investor -and
railroad analyst, who said the B. &
o. was actually capable of meeting
the 1944 matured debt and that the
RFC refusal to extend its loan was

The court dismissed his charges as
unsubstantiated by evidence.

Action on the Nays request for
permission to acquire st. Johns
College at Annapolis is not likely
during 1s45 it appeared today.
Chairman Vinson of the House
Naval Affairs Committee. which
must approve the request, said he
hoped to have the group reach an
early decision. But that may mean
anytime in the next few months, he
said.
The Navy seeks permission to &C
quire the 32-acre campus of the col
lege, one of the oldest in the Nation,
to expand the Naval Academy
which st. Johns adjoins.
I'VE first have to pass on the
complete educational program for
the postwar Navy and then we can
take up the st. Johns matter" MIR.
Vinson said.
But we have got to reach de-
cision shortly. It is not fair to
st. Johns to leave it up in the air.
If the committee decides that
it is necessary for the Navy to
acquire the school, st. Johns ON
cials must have time to make neces-
sary arrangements for the next
school year."
The House committee, the chair
man said, has considerable work to
do on the Navy's proposed postwar
training program before he will call
up the st. Johns issue again.
The Senate committee, which
must also approve the Navy request,
likewise has scheduled no action
and aides said they know Of no
plans for an early vote.
Both groups have held extensive
hearings on the issue, which was
presented formally by the Navy De-

De Lashmutt Urges
Arlington Vote on
Improvement Bonds

Basil M. De Lashmutt, recently re-
elected to the Arlington County
Board for four-year term, said
today he favors an immediate ref
erendum by county voters on q
bond issue to finance construction
of county incinerator, enlargement
Of the sewage disposal plant and an
addition to the courthouse.
Referring to a $1,000 Federal
grant to provide plans for the court
house expansion, Mr.. De Lashmutt
said the county now has no reason
to delay setting a financial plan for
construction Of the much needed
projects.
Plans for the incinerator and the
sewage plant enlargement already
are nearly complete. he added.
Other county officials said esti-
mates for the three projects total
$750,000, listing the incinerator at
approximately $500, 900; sewage dis
posal plant enlargement, $500 900
and courthouse addition, $3.50 900.
Scarcity Of labor, combined with
high costs. make it poor economy
to contract for the three projects,
officials added. however.
Mr.. De Lashmutt said labor diff
culties are no bar to getting the
peoples views through a referen-
dunn. He pointed out that the
county government should find out
If citizens favor a bond issue for
the improvements. In this way, he
said. the financial plan will be ready
when labor difficulties are erased.
One official said there are three
ways to finance the projects, name
ly, bond issue, combined bond issue

loan.
The last method would require
legislation, it was said, as the county
