Allegheny Corp. Rivals
Square Off for Battle

to dodge around massive floor
posters. The billboardS oppose
each other across a dozen yards
of lobby space.
On one side a Kirby sign in
red and blue shouts that Allie
ghany'S common stock equity
is up to $94.2 million.
Across the floor a massive
cartoon by the MurchiSon
forces shows Allegheny man.
agement Turing a stockholder
into its lair with a trail of
nickels that look suspiciously
like feed grain.
Mr.. Kirby!" barks the cap
ton. you can't get stockhold-
er support for a nickel a
share!"
The reference is to a divi-
dend of 5 cents announced a
few days ago by Mr.. Kirby,
Alleghany's board chairman.
NickelS Distributed
Murchison forces also lent
a theatrical touch by passing
out nickels sealed inside clear
plastic disks.
Imprinted over the coin was
the lengend, The Kirby Dol
lar"
The nickel dividend was the
corporations first on common
stock in its 32-year history.
Mr.. MurchiSon said the divi-
dend was a last-minute move
to sway uncommitted stock
holders. Mr.. Kirby said it
demonstrated progress made
by management.
Behind the ballyhoo and
flood of press releases, there's
a reason for the election at
moSphere. At last report the
Kirby and Murchison forces
had bought up a total of 81
million shares of Allegheny
stock out of 9,8 million to be
voted. The independent stock
holder retains the balance of
power. He is the voter each
side is trying to win.
Betting FavorS Kirby
The betting here favors Mr..
Kirby. though both sides claim
victory. In proxy fights, fate
traditionally is on the side Of
management.
Authorities conceded it will
be several days before they
know which side wins. Tellers
will start counting votes here
in a private room tonight, but
ballots will be challenged
by both sides.
Gene Tunney is on Mr..
Kirby's side. He was appointed
a director last year when man.
agement bounced the Murchi-
son boys off the board in a
feud over how they handled a
subsidiary company, thereby
touching off the proxy fight.
Now Mr.. Tunney is up for
reelection along with eight
other directors including Mr..
Kirby. The Murchison brothers
are offering a rival slate OF
nine candidates including them
selves.

Star staff Writer

BALTIMORE. May 1.-Rival
battlers for control of the rich
Allegheny Corp. are putting on
a show here worthy of Million
aires.
The prelude to today's an
nual stockholders meeting
looked more like a contest be-
tween bartenders last night.
Today the spectacle resembles
a cross between a TV spec
tacular and a political conven-
ton.
The cast includes ex-boXer
Gene Tunney, a couple from
Brooklyn who repeatedly blow
police whistles at stockholders
meetings to get the chairman's
attention, and a somewhat
stunned hotel staff.
107 Suites, Rooms
So far, the rival forces have
taken over 107 hotel suites and
rooms plus one ballroom.
The financial press describes
the embattled management S
chieftain. Allan P. Kirby, as a
shy and self-effacing man with
$500 million. They say his
Texas challengers, John D. and
Clint w. MurchiSon, jr.. are
worth $3.50 million and shun
publicity.
A neutral spectator might
agree with the money part of
this but the battlerS have cast
aside their shy natures.
Mr.. Kirby arrived at mid
morning after a flight by pri-
Vate plane from his home at
Morristown, N. j. He met pri-
vately with directors of the
corporation at a luncheon be-
fore the formal opening of the
stockholders meeting.
First Time in 20 Years
1t was the first time in 20
years Mr.. Kirby had attended
a meeting of Allegheny stock
holders.
Mr.. Murchison arrived here
yesterday.

forces clash this afternoon, has

Dental health programs often
are given too little support
while top priority is given other
health services, a Washington
dentist said today.
"All too frequently these pro-
grams operate on an unrealistic
budget far below their minimal
requirements and dental health
is relegated to obscurity," DR..
Harry Ostrow. chief of the Dis
trict Health Departments den-
tai services division, declared.
Meanwhile" he said. top
priority is given to other health
services, many of which un-
doubtedly are more important
and spectacular. But such allo-
cations are not always equita-
BILE and dental health deserved
better support than it often re-
ceiveS."

Here tips from Shells experts how to get maximum
mileage from your If you practice these good driving habits
and you todays Super She'll with ingredients for top
performance may we'll save pretty penny gasoline bills

4. Don't LET fuel costs creep up at the
stop light. IF your car "creeps" when
idling with the automatic transmission
engaged, have your idle speed adjusted.
If YOU drive a stick shift, remember that
pumping the accelerator won't change
the light. 1t only uses up gasoline.
S. Don't indulge in jack rabbit starts.
Racing starts are fine on race tracks
but the drivers of those cars are lucky to
get 6 miles per gallon.
NOTE: Air resistance at high car speed
is the biggest single drain on po~er. 1t
increases approximately as the cube of
the vehicle speed. Even fox tails on
aerials may cost you gasoline.
6. Check your tire pressure regularly.
Under inflated tires increase friction
and cut mileage.
NOTE: Tire presstres build up dnr'ng
a long run. Don't let air out to bring the
pressure dovn it makes the tires run
even hotter. Check cool tires only.
7. Check for dragging brakes. Have
your Shell dealer check for wheel drag
next time you're in for fabrication. 1t
brakes drag, you pay for it every mile;
Milford chronicle., 1961-09-08

CuHLL scientists spend much of their
- working lives figuring out how to
pet the most mileage out of gallon of
gasoline. Here are some Of the things
they've learned.
1. Don't race cold engine. When your
engine is cold, it uses up more fuel.
You're also in danger Of underlubrica-
ton. You pay in greater engine wear.
NOTE: 7oday's Super Shell has fast
,vam-rp ingredients to save gasoline.
And Shell X-IOOe Premium Motor Oil
moves freely even when cold-saues fuel
and reduces engine wear.
2. Use light touch on the accelcrator.
1romping down on the pedal is an ex-
pcnsivc habit. Starting up, it holds your
automatic transmission in lower gear"
longer makes the engine turn faster,
wasting fuel. Under way, uneven pedal
pressure is costly, too. Feed just enough
fuel to maintain even speed.
Z. Drive "ahead of your car" Watch
for slowing traffic and red lights as far
ahead as you can see. Then coast up to
the stopping cars, instead OF braking
heavily when you get there.
