REORGANIZERS OF RAILROADS UNDERATTACK Revision of Bankruptcy Act Urged by Eastman in Report. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—Revision of the railroad bankruptcy act to end exploitation of investors by •piratical reorganizers" was proposed to Congress yesterday by Joseph B. Eastman, Federal Coordinator of Transportation. Mr. Eastman declared in his report that railroad reorganizations “have furnished some of the worst pages in the history of American finance” and recommended that the bankruptcy act, hastily drawn in 1933, be revised in these particulars: 1. To broaden the authority of Federal Courts in determining the fairness of railroad reorganization plans, and to empower them to approve such plans over the dissent of minorities. 2. To impose regulation by the Interstate Commerce Commission on bondholders’ protective committees, some of which have been guilty of abuses, according to the co-ordi-nator. Agrees With Wheeler 3. To defer appointment of reorganization trustees until open hearings have been held on their qualifications. Mr. Eastman’s recommendations are in line with the aims of Chairman Burton K. Wheeler iD., Mont.) cf the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee, who is preparing a resolution for an inquiry into the activities of certain banking and speculative groups in railroad financing. Railroad bondholders have been the chief sufferers from manipulators’ operations, the co-ordinator told Congress. “The insolvent railroad,” he said, “has often been the prey of professional and sometimes piratical reorganizers whose business it has been to salvage the property, if not primarily in their own interests, at least with too little regard for the right of the great groups of disorganized and discouraged investors. Compensation “Exorbitant” “Bankers and reorganization committees and their counsel have profited greatly and have extracted from the insolvent properties exorbitant compensation.’’ Mr. Eastman proposed that the earning power of a railroad, rather than its original reproduction cost, be made‘the primary factor in deciding whether creditors and investors have an actual interest in the property. He suggested also that RFC loans be confined to roads which have “a sufficiently sound structure so that some measure of private credit is likely to be regained rather quickly with an upturn of business.” Carriers not so situated, he said, should avail themselves of the bankruptcy act.

MEASURE RAPS HOLDINGFIRMS Memorial Urging Curb by Congress Proposed in House Bill. Passage by Congress of laws “to end the tribute-taking control of holding companies over utility operating companies” will be asked by the Indiana General Assembly if a resolution sponsored by Rep. Morris H. Coers (D., Indianapolis) and Rep. Carl E. M. Woodard iD., Michigan City), is adopted. “The operation of these holding companies,” the joint resolution recites, “in their constant inroads on the resources of the operating companies” have prevented lower rates and a more extended service. The Assembly will be asked to support President Roosevelt and the national Administration in efforts to curb holding companies. ‘Operating companies no doubt Are in the hands of good men, and it is only the unscrupulous persons in charge who are wrecking holding companies,” Rep. Woodard said in defense of the resolution. “The milking of operating companies through service charges and contracts has allowed holding companies to receive from 50 to 300 per cent profit,” he declared.
