that Western Pacific employees and stockholders would be benefited by the consummation of the ag:reement.

Santa Fe and Western Pacific have entered into a formal written agreement for operation of Western Paciflc as a separate railroad in the event Santa Fe is authorized to acquire stock control of WP'

The announcement was jointly made today by F. B. Whitman' president of Western Pacific, a.Itd Ernest S' Marsh, president of Santa !'e, simultaneously with a similar statement by the General Counsel of both roads in a pre-hearing conference before the Interstate Commerce Commission in Washington, D'C'

The agreement, Whitman stated, was sought by Western Pacific and meets the conditions previously advanced by Western Pacific as a basis for its support of Santa Fe control of Western Pacific. One of the principal purposes of the agreement is to provide for the tax-free exchange of shares of Western Pacitrc ior shares of Santa Fe. He pointed out that the plan, coupled with previous agTeements between both companies that the movement of traffic through the Utah and Bieber Gateways will be fostered and maintained, assures tfiat the public will continue to receive the benefits of active and aggressive rail competition and

The ag:reement provides that "The intent and pu{pose of Santa F'e in acquiring control of Western Pacific is to continue it as an active and aggressive competitor in the areas which it now serves. To that end it will be ma^naged and operated as a separate railroad, pursuant generally to its own past policies and practices with respect to rates, service, and operation."

The new plan agreed upon, Whitman arrd Marsh asserted, contemplates the creation of a new corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Santa X'e. The new company, which would be called Western Pacific Railway Company, would issue all of its stock to the Santa Fe in return for a number of shares equal to one and one-quarter shares of Santa Fe stock for each share of outstanding stock of the present Western Pacific Railroad Company. The new company would thereupon transfer these Santa, Fe shares to the present Western Paciflc Railroad Company in return for the conveyance by the latter company of all of its assets of every description. T.lre Western Paciflc Railroad Company would then be dissolved, apportioning its sole remaining assets consisting of Santa F e shares pro rata among its stockholders as a flnal distributive dividend.
