Van Sweringen Rescue Told to Senate Panel
Georg A. Bail of Muncie Ind banker and glass maker testified at the opening hearing of the Senate railway financing inquiry that in 1935 he bought securities valued at more than 39.5 million dollars for 3.12 million to rescue the Van Sweringen rail empire from financial trouble. He said the stocks were sold at auction in New York when the Van Sweringen brothers could not repay a 39.5 million loan from J P Morgan syndicate and that the stocks were held as collateral. Bail described the dramatic appeal by Van Sweringen and said he paid 9,521 dollars to help. He noted others involved and the goal of keeping railroads solvent for refundings and expansion, with possible abolition of railroad holding companies as a result of the hearings.
