By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 30.—A reor- ganization plan for the United Cigar Stores Co. of America, which has been approved by all classes of security holders and creditors, was filed in the Federal Court yesterday. A hearing at which terms of the plan will be considered further was set for April 19. The company was adjudged bankrupt more than four years ago. Two years late the present reorganizations proceedings were be- gun under Section 77-B of the na- tional bankruptcy act. The inability of various classes of security holders and other creditors to get together during the long drawn- out proceedings to work out a plan was further complicated by a large number of landlord claims, which proved a stumbling block to agree- ment on a plan satisfactory to all parties. The present plan has the approval of the landlords, debenture holders, preferred stockholders and common stockholders’ protective committees, as well as the Phoenix Securities Corp., which has a substantial invest- ment in United.
