Great Northern, Northern
Pacific Railways to Merge
St. Paul, Minn. - (UPD - A
plan to merge the Great
Northern and Northern Pacif
ic railways and two subsidiar
ies into a line serving 17
states and two Canadian prov
inces was announced here
Saturday night,
The announcement of the
plan to integrate those two
railroads and the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy and
the Spokane, Portland and
Seattle railways ended more
than a year of rumors that a
merger would be effected.
The merger would integrate
approximately 23,000 miles of
line employing more than
65.000 persons, and which last
year realized a net income of
about $70.4 million
The Northern Pacific and
Great Northern equally own
97.18 per cent of the common
stock of the Burlington, and
jointly own the Spokane,
Portland and Seattle railway.
Although the Burlington
system includes the Colorado
and Southern, and the Fort
Worth and Denver railways,
they are not involved in the
plan.
The merger proposal pro
vides for a stock exchange
between the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern stock
holders on a share-for-share
basis.
Additionally, Great North
ern shareholders would re
ceive one half share of 5Vi
per cent, non-voting, prefer
red stock of $10 par value for
each share held.
The preferred stock would
be callable and would have a
mandatory sinking fund pro
vision. Equitable provisions
would be made for minority
Burlington stockholders, the
announcement said.
The new company's man
agement would be headed by
the current presidents of the
three railroads. Robert C.
MacFarlane of Northern Pa
cific would be chairman of
the board. John M. Budd of
Great Northern president; and
Harry C. Murphy of the Burl
ington vice-chairman of the
board.
The directorate would con
sist of members of the pres
ent boards of each railroad.
The announcement said the
merger would be accomplish
ed over at least a five-year
period, and would not sub
stantially affect present em
ployees. Railroad officials said de

To Settle Claims
Washington-UPD-The United
States and Communist Poland
agreed Saturday to settle a
series of long-standing prop
erty claims against each other.
The deal will net the United
States $40 million.
Under the agreement, an
nounced by the state depart
ment, Poland will pay $2 mil
lion a year for 20 years to the
United States to repay Amer
icans whose property was tak
en by the Polish government.
In return, the United States
will unfreeze the assets of
Polish citizens which have
been held in this country
since the end of World War II.
The Polish assets are worth
about $1 million.
The settlement will permit
Americans who lost their
property to collect full on
claims of $1,000 or less and
at least $1,000 of larger
claims.
An estimated 17 million
Americans are suffering from
some form of mental illness.
not bo spelled out until the
railroads apply to the Inter
state Commerco commission
for authority to Integrate.
The announcement said
because of the gradual inte
gration of operations, it Is ex
pected natural employe turn
over and retirements would
make displacement of em
ployees negligible.
A railway consultant firm,
Wyer, Dick and Co., estimated
in a 1957 survey the proposed
merger would provide even
tual operating savings of
about $40 million a year.
Gross operating revenue of
the four railroads last year
was about $735.7 million.
The merger cannot become
effective until the plan is ap
proved by the stockholders
and the Interstate Commerce
commission. The three presi
dents said it Is hoped the plan
can be represented to the
stockholders by the end of
the year.
