...statement obfuscated the fact that the Pennsylvania Railroad did not vote the majority Wabash shares which jt recently bought (with Lehigh Valley stock) from Leonor Fresnel Loree's Delaware & Hudson for $63,000,000 cash. Nor did it refer to Mr. Williams recent resignation from the D. & H.'s vice-presidency and board of managers. Nor did it mention Mr. Stair's other business affiliations...

The fifth, if at all, would be organized and run by Leonor Fresnel Loree, who now controls the Delaware & Hudson. Mr. Loree, grizzly-bear of railroads, Harriman's successor in talent, conferred for nearly three hours. His conferees represented four trunk-line adversaries: the Pennsylvania, the New York Central, the Baltimore & Ohio and the Van Sweringen merger group (once planned...
