Study Of Big
Rail Merger

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 (AP).-
Alfred Perlman, president Of
the New York Central Railroad
today made his pitch for a
study of a merger Of Eastern
railroads into three or four big
systems.
Mr.. Perlman offered his Sug-
gestion at the Eastern Railroad
Presidents Conference. The
conference which opened at
noon is closed to newSmen.
The ERPC is a 35-year-old
luncheon club with no ma
chinery within itself to under
take a merger study. Presi-
dents of the Eastern roads
meet about once a month at
the Hotel Biltmore in New York
for luncheon and to discuss
mutual problems. That's the
conference.
David Mackie is chairman OF
the ERPC and acts as its
spokesman. There are about
half a dozen other employees
including secretaries, Office boy
and switchboard operator.
When Central directors called
off further studies on the Penn
sylvania Central merger early
last month, they asked thai
Mr.. Perlman recommend q
bigger study before the presi-
dents conference. -.

Within the first half hour, however,

The weakness was attributed to the

Congress sets a ceiling on the
total value Of housing mort

its dwindling authorization.
To date, about $3.5 billion Of
these agreements have been
issued. They are actually
quasi-commitments to issue in

surance authority is finally ex-
tended by Congress.
Congressional sources said
FILA may have to start ration
ing mortgage insurance within

to limit it to housing projects

Two Southern Democrats and
the four Rules Committee Re-

There is no controversy over

Since early in the session,
Republicans have backed a
plan to pass a 'quickie" hous-
ing bill limited to replenishing
the FILA insurance authority
program and the college hous-
ing loan fund, with other fea-
lures handled separately.
The Democratic leadership
has pushed for action on the
entire housing program in a
single bill.
Caught in the logjam with
the insurance program is au-
thority for SIS billion for slum
elimination, $500 million for
college housing. 500 million
for old folks housing and a
reduction in FILA down pay
ments.
