Walker Is the Man Chooses Receiver for Atchison Property
Judge Caldwell appointed Aldace F. Walker receiver for the Atchison property, replacing J W Reinhart. Walker, long active in interstate rail traffic work, is a former lieutenant colonel and ex-chairman of the Western Traffic Association.

The appointment surprises Santa Fe officials and facing criticism from Chicago Tribune over management.
