VAN SWERINGEN CASE 15 CLOSED Baltimore Judge Will Give Ruling Tomorrow in Merger Suits. By the Associated Press BALTIMORE, August 14 —Testi- mony was completed today in two suits seeking to block a proposed merger on the two top holding companies of the Sweringen railroad interests. Judge Samuel K. Dennis announced he would give his ruling Monday. One of the suits contended the pro- | posed merger would be unfair to hold- | ers of preferred stock in the Alleghany Corp., one of the holding companies. Col. Leonard Ayres, Cleveland statis- tician, testified he believed the plan for consolidation was a fair one. He is a director of the Alleghany Corp., elected in 1933 by holders of preferred stock. Thomas Reath, a representative of the University of Pennsylvania, testi- )fis‘d he felt the plan was satisfactory except for its effect on holders of Alle- ghany preferred stock. He said it would be unfair because such holders would have to give up rights to ac- | crued dividends and other rights they now hold. Earlier, Robert Young, chairman of Alleghany and also of the Chesapeake Corp., said: “Some of the larger holders don't want dividends,” he said. “They feel that, %if their stock is not earning, they don't have to pay 80 per cent to the Government, “It is my opinion that the vast majority of the stockholders of the two corporations want the dividends which the consolidation would make possible. If those opposing the con- solidation win their case today, they will certainly lose it later on and lose it through the same argument under which they would win it now.” D. C. STUDENT SELECTED One of 11 Chosen as +‘Idé€al Sec- retary” Candidate. Madlyn Gerling, Strayer | student, was 1 of 11 candidates picked from 400 delegates attending the an- nual convention of Alpha Iota, inter- College national business sorority, at De- troit this week for the one most likely to be an ideal secretary. Three members of the Strayer chap- ter of Alpha Iota attended the con- vention with the student sponsor, Miss Elizabeth Glenn. The two others were Betty Anne Hall and Ruth Staubus.
