Both Sides Charge
Compromise Effort
In n. Y. Central Fight
BY the Assoeiossd Press

NEW YORK. Mar. 12.-Rival
groups for control of the vast
New York Central Railroad claim
each other is seeking a compro-
mise settlement of their dispute.
Each faction-one headed by
railroad financier Robert r..
Young and the other by Gen.
trail President William white
denies it requested compromise
talks.
The compromise squabble
started yesterday when Mr..
Young told a National Press
Club luncheon in Washington
that the Central management
wants to make a deal" for a
minority representation of six
places on the Central's 15-man
board.
Meets With YOung's Men.
Mr.. White answered this state
ment following meeting with
Texas oilmen Clinton w. Muir
Gibson of Dallas and Sidney w.
Richardson of Fort Worth
friends of Mr.. Young who re-
Gently bought 100000 shares of
Central stock.
Mr.. White said he understood
that Thomas J. Deegan. jr.. an
associate of Mr.. Young's. had
said the meeting with Mr.. Muir
Gibson and Mr.. Richardson was
an attempt by Central to settle
up with the Young side"
Mr.. White continued: II want
to make it perfectly clear that,
when Mr.. Young and Mr.. Deegan
say or intimate that We want to
make a deal. that is a plain lie
and the usual distortion that Mr..
Young practices"
Mr.. White said Mr.. Murchison
and Mr.. Richardson came in at
their own request to talk COM
promise and they said they did
it with Mr.. Young's knowledge
Sets Conditions.
1--WE had a general discussion
about this whole thing" he
added, land I told them that We
would under no circumstances
talk compromise with them I'M
less Mr.. Young backed COM
pletely out of the picture"
Later a spokesman for Mr..
Murchison and Mr.. Richardson
issued a statement for the two
men saying they came to New
York at the request of John j.
McCloy. board chairman of the
Chase National Bank.
1t said Mr.. McCloy had told
them he and two Central direc-
tors had met with Mr.. White
that day to discuss terms of set
Element" and Mr.. McCloy sug-
gested that to this end they
meet with Mr.. White"
The statement added. IF Mr..
White had the slightest hope
that he could induce the Texas
stockholders to agree to a settle
ment which was unacceptable to
Bob Young. his hopes were
blasted"
Mr.. McCloy's bank had pre-
viously been independent voting
trustee for the 100000 shares of
stock the Texans purchased on
February IS from the Chesapeake
& Ohio Railroad.

of protection against a competing
ferry moving in. Sirugo said that
he has backing from Chicago in

statement that ''Key West will
have ferry service shortly"

sketchy, but it is a sure thing that
a local Navy man is in a lot of
trouble as the result of two ar.
rests-15 minutes apart last night.
Police identified the man as

Gilmore, and revealed that he will
face a total Of nine charges in
city court today.

torcycle along at a SO-mile-per-
hour clip through a Is mile zone,
resulting in a charge of speeding.

Frank Caraballo at 1910 p. m.
yesterday. Caraballo charged him
with reckless driving, failure to
heed a stop sign, running a traffic

stop signs and causing an acct
dent.
