Shorts in Panic to Cover Contracts
The market opened higher on widespread approval of government action to seize railroads and allied properties. Short sellers rushed to cover, lifting major issues such as Baltimore and Ohio, Delaware and Hudson, St. Paul, Atchison, and Union Pacific, while rails and industrials led gains before midmorning profit taking and later renewed strength.

Pennsylvania Railroad to Merge the P B and W
The Philadelphia Baltimore and Washington Railroad will lose its corporate identity next Tuesday and its lines leased by the Pennsylvania Railroad for 999 years will join as a southern division of the Pennsylvania system. Pennsylvania directors transfer all P B and W officers and employees to PRR rolls effective January 1 and place them in similar positions within the PRR organization. The leasing action was approved by the Public Service Corporation last week as part of a broader policy to merge smaller lines under Pennsylvania officials.
