New Haven
Fails 10 Paw
Interest Due

NEW YORK, July 8 (AP).-
The financially straitened New
Haven Railroad failed today to
meet SIT million in interest
payments due on its bonds as
reports circulated that the line
may founder soon.
The New York Stock Ex-
change, taking official notice of
the delinquency, notified trad
erS the two bond issues involved
hereafter will sell flat"
This meant buyers and SELL
ers were on notice to disregard
accrued interest in arriving at
a price.
The NYSE said it acted after
being informed by the paying
agent that no funds were on
hand to meet interest that fell
due at the start Of business to-
day the first business day fol-
lowing the interest delinquency
date Of last Saturday.
In Washington, an Inter-
state Commerce Commission
source said a bankruptcy pro-
ceeding for the 1,60O-mile New
England line conceivably might
be only days away"
The rail carrier had hinged
hopes of meeting the interest
obligation on Federal Govern
ment approval Of a $5.5 mil
lion loan application filed early
last month.
There were increasing signs
that it would not be forthcom-
ing.
The New Haven, since 1855,
has borrowed $39,159,400 on
Government guaranteed COM
mercial bank loans to stay
afloat in recent years. 1t still
owes $35, 5,523,440 on these loans.
A special. meeting of New
Haven directors was set for
Wednesday.
Top management officials of
the road remained silent on the
bankruptcy question, saying it
would be pointless to comment
until the Government decides
whether to grant the $5.5 mil
lion loan.

Kennedy Progrom-Chunk by Chunk
~ SYLVIA PORTER

This new law marks the first
substantial extension Of tn e
minimum wage law in its 23-
year history. It sets a minimum
of 81 an hour for 3.6 million
workers never before covered; ;
sets a $1.15 minimum for 23.9
million workers already COW
cred; sets a goal of $1.25 for
1963-64; starts TO go into effect
September 3.
Emergency extension of un-
employment insurance. This
law is operating, will pour up
to 81 billion into the pockets
of 8 million needy unemployed
over the next year.
Huge highway financing law.
This one has just gone on the
books, provides $11.5 billion in
additional Federal grants to the
States to permit completion by
the 1912 target date of the
Al, ,000-mile Interstate Highway
System. 1t guarantees that
consistent and tremendous
spending on new highways will
continue to be a prop under the
general economy.
Big Housing Program
The biggest housing program
in history. The stimulating in
fluence of this law will be felt
over many months and years.
1t includes the most liberal
mortgage terms ever devised,
a great new boost for the home
improvement market, billions
for urban renewal, public hous-
ing, etc.
Another liberalization of So
cial security. Again, this law
is just going on the books and
the impact will be in the future.
It will permit men to retire
with reduced benefits at the
age of 81, increase minimum
benefits, raise benefits to wild
ows. More than "A million
persons will be receiving hun
dreds of millions of dollars as
a result.
When you add the chunks,
the whole becomes impressive
indeed! Mr.. Kennedy is betting
that a business boom will cover
the record spending.

Archie Thinks He
Con Beof Peterson
And JohonSSon

New York (ANP) - Archie
Moore, never a man to concede de-
feat in advance, feels that he can
beat both champion Floyd Pat
terson and challenger Ingemar
Johansson, despite Arches previ-
GUS knockout loss to Floyd four
years ago.
The reason: Archie feels he has
analysed both to the point where he
knows all their weaknesses.
Asked to explain his loss to
Patterson when the two fought for
the vacated heavyweight title in
1856, Moore said: " =. was over
trained. I overworked myself try
ing to reach a condition had new
er attained before"
Can Blast JOhanssOn
As for Ingemar, Moore said
Right now I can knock out
J ohansson somewhere in 10
rounds"
He doesn't give the Swede much
chance Of upsetting Patterson
again, either. Floyd lost to Johans-
son the first time because he be-
came over anxious, got careless
and got tagged, the veteran light
heavyweight champion, whose age
has been listed any way from Al
to As, opined. But it won't happen
again, he added.
Floyd, Moore thinks, will be
ready for Johansson, and Ingemar
won't forget how Patterson flat
tened him the last time.
Personally, Moore said he Is an
xious to meet 'Germanys Eric
Schoeppner in defense of the light
heavyweight title, so he can con-
on a probable heavyweight
title match. He gave his views in
an interview with a New York re-
porter.
