...fresh spring afternoon twelve years ago, a stout, bald American and a compact, bright-eyed young Swiss lingered over lunch in Leipzig's famed Auerbach's Keller.

Most significant testimony was that of young Conway Peyton Coe, Commissioner of Patents. Now 41, Patent Lawyer Coe was the youngest man ever to be commissioner when Franklin Roosevelt appointed him five years ago (he says modestly that there were few patent lawyers who were also Democrats).

His idea was that the owners of 667,539 shares of Alleghany preferred-including several potent friends of Guaranty Trust-should surrender their stock and their right to accumulated dividends of $33 per share in exchange for a new type of preferred and common-stock warrants.
