Twill Borrow
S3.6 Billion
By the Associated Press

it will borrow at least $50
billion in the next few weeks
to pay off old debts and fin
ance red-ink spending.

lowing three ways:
/. A SIS billion issue OF
4la-month tax anticipation bills
will be offered next Tuesday.
These will be dated April 3, will
mature September % and may
be used to pay income tax in
stallments due September Is.
2. A 50 billion issue of one
year bills will be issued April
Is. Proceeds from this borrow
ing will be used to pay off a
like amount Of old bills which

Chesapeake & Ohio helps the
BIO rebuild its rather worn
rolling stock.
THE savings in joint opera
ton will be significant" Mr.,
Tuohy said. while the studies
are not completed, the yearly
savings in affiliation and
merger will be up in the eight
figure range every year."
Eight figures would mean at
least $40 million.
"The merger movement is
one important way in which the
railroad industry is helping
solve its own problems" Mr..
Tuohy said.
"A major cause of the rail-
roads condition today is un-
equal Government treatment
compared with other forms of
transportation in over-regula-
ton, subsidization of competi-
ton and inequitable tax policies
which discriminate against rail-
roads"
