U.S. Rebuffs Rock Island Loan Bid Amid Railroad Crisis
The U S Railway Association refused a 30 million loan to Rock Island Railroad saying securing repayment was unlikely and a smaller loan would not avert insolvency. The 122 year old line faced possible bankruptcy as its board slated a Chicago meeting, with losses spanning six years. A federal judge ordered 125 additional school districts across 16 states investigated for civil rights violations in a NAACP funded suit.
