Judge Handles
Reorganization
Of New Haven

NEW HAVEN, Conn, July 8
(AP). - The bankrupt New
Haven Railroad wheeled into
reorganization today under the
guardianship of a Federal
judge.
United States District Judge
Robert P. Anderson yesterday
approved the lines petition for
reorganization under special
provisions of the Federal
Bankruptcy Act which insure
continued service.
The railroads board of di-
rectors threw in the sponge
yesterday after learning that
the carrier had been rebuffed
in its quest for a SIS million
disaster loan from the Federal
Government.
They said the railroad would
be some $24 million in the rec
by next January /.
Attachments Blocked
Judge Anderson's directive
effectively blocks any creditor
from attaching the railroads
property.
Judge Anderson said that, or
August /, he will appoint ar
individual or perhaps severa
persons to act as trustees ir
administering the railroad.
II may be looking for a demi-
god," he said last night.
Between now and August l.
Judge Anderson said, he will
devote himself to studying the
railroads problems.
The court action makes
Judge Anderson boss of the
132 year old railroad, which
serves the passenger and freight
needs of New York, Connecti-
cut, Rhode Island and Massa-
chusetts. An estimated 10000
commuters use the line every
day.
The lines fiscal collapse
comes only seven days after
tax relief granted it by the
four States went into effect.
Battle Lasted Years
The relief was approved after
a battle of several years BY

In Moscow Yesterday, the
Soviet government accused the
United States of trying to jus
tify, in the eyes of public opin-
ion, the resumption If lluclear
tests"
The United States fired back
a charge that Russia was dodg-
ing the central issue of the ne
gotiationS - whether the 60
Wet Union is now willing and
prepared to reach an accord
which would halt 1uclear wea-
pons tests under effective in
ternational controls"
The United States called on
Russia to reverse its position
and "join the United States
and the United Kingdom in
their determined efforts to bring
an end to the testing of nu-
clear weapons"
Soviet Plan Rejected
Soviet Premier Khrushchev
has sought to merge the nuclear
test ban talks with a proposed
new multi-nation conference on
general disarmament. Presi-
dent Kennedy has rejected this
proposal.
The two powers appear to be
engaged in a campaign to fix
the blame for failure of the
prolonged Geneva talks, but
neither will admit the confer
ence has come to a deadend.
Technically, it still is in session.
The Soviet note was pre-
sented to United States Am
bassador Llewellyn Thompson
in Moscow Wednesday and
made public by the Russians
yesterday.
It said the United States
seeks excuses for burning the
bridges to agreement on the
prohibition" of nuclear weap-
ons tests.
Soviet Tactics Hit
In its reply, released later
yesterday, the United States
said Russia apparently is wor-
ried "as indeed it should be
by the worlds reaction to its
obstructive maneuvering in
Geneva"
Accordingly" the United
States statement said, "the
Soviet note avoids, as much as
possible, the central issue of
halting nuclear tests.
THE United States is con-
vinced that this tactic on the
part of the Soviet Union will
not blind the world to the in
transigence of the Soviet Union
at the Geneva test ban con-
ference.
This latest Soviet note is
a new blow at hopes that a
successful conclusion of a test
ban agreement can still be
reached.

With lie General at Top of Popularity,
French Appear Unworried as to Heir
CONSTANTINE BROWN


Despite the many problems
which are besieging the coun-
try today. there is no ques-
ton that France has re-
Sumed her place as a leader
in the free world. 1t is only
in this context that De Gaulle
compares himself with Joan
of Arc"
And this is apparently true.
Besides the Algerian problem
which the French ruler ex-
poets to solve before long,
there are serious domestic
situations such as the rising
cost of living and the plight
of the farmers. The govern
ment has not been able to
cope with these situations
successfully. The peasants p
and farmers have been on
a rampage. But their in
dignation Is not directed at
the man who holds the reins
of government, but at his
incompetent administrators.
Gen. de Gaulle has assumed
the task of personally han
ding international and ma
tional defense affairs and
has Sele C IT. d a cabinet of
technicians to handle other
matters. It is unfortunate,
that with the possible excep-
ton of the Minister of FL
nance, the rest of the cab
met can be described as non
entities.
The farmers are angry at
Prime Minister Michel Debre
whom they accuse of having
bungled the whole farm sup
port situation. They have
been demonstrating with vio-
lence and harsh words
against the weak and color
less premier. But at no time
has an unpleasant word been
hurled at lie General"
Perhaps the reason is that
Frances President continu-
ously makes use of personal
politics" while our recent
presidents have used per
sonal diplomacy"
Gen. de Gaulle's frequent
absences from the ElySee are
due to his constant barn

personal appearances in every

the New Haven.
Freight Profits Off
Although the freight portion
of the roads business continued
to show a meager profit. earn
ings from this source covered
only two-thirds of the passenger
deficit and subsequently even
less.
AS things worSened, and ma
tural disasters including severe
and costly floods beset the New
Haven, it embarked on a course
of borrowing under Govern
ment-guaranteed loans.
In this way, additional debt
of $39,159.000 piled up since
1855. Of the total, $35,523, ,440
is still owed.
When the road lost nearly
SIS millions in 1860, and about
SO million more in the first five
months of this year, conditions
got really desperate.
In May, it sought another
$5.5 million from the Govern
ment. New Haven officials
openly admitted they could not
continue to meet vital financial
obligations on time unless they
gained approval.
At the same time, it was con-
ceded that possibly another 81
million in borrowings would be
needed to stay afloat.
Under a program worked out
by Governors of New York.
Massachusetts, Connect C u t
and Rhode Island, and ap-
proved by their Legislatures, an
unprecedented tax relief life
line was thrown this spring to
the stricken carrier.
Effective last July /, it was
to lift a burden of $6.1 million
annually in taxes from the New
Haven's back - although it
didn't directly pour any new
cash into the railroad treasury.
Bond Interest Skipped
Despite all this, when the
latest Government loan appli-
cation failed to come through
the New Haven a week ago had
to skip SIT million in interest
payments due on outstanding
bonds.
It met a weekly payroll of
roughly Sis million the day
before, and expects to continue
paying it's nearly 10000 en-
ployes at least for the next few
weeks.
Despite the reorganization
all signs point to a continued
running of the trains-for the
time being, at least.
The tracks won't be ripped
up, the property dismantled.
But investors-holders of the
New Haven's common and pre-
ferred stocks and bonds-are
sure to be hurt. The question
is: How much?

PARIS. France - A story
going the rounds of intimate
circles in Paris concerns a
cabinet meeting which lasted
longer than usual. Gen. de

and asked what time it was.
M. Debre got up, bowed

cause in these days in France,
one does not tell irreverent

are derogatory to the French
leader. 1t is a sign of the high
esteem in which even his po-
litical enemies hold him. De-
spite some middle of the goth

the Louis XIV or Napoleon
