The father took no active part in the proxy fight. But it was he who a decade ago in Dallas started to shape the nucleus of the winning combination. John and Clint were Just getting on their feet In the business world. John, a fighter pilot overseas in World War II, was about three years out of Yale University. Clint Jr.

recently had taken a master's degree In engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. OCT OF THE father's beginning grew the loose-knit Investments Management formed to focus supervision after the Murchison Interests spread to Insurance, finance company, water utility, book publishing and other diverse ventures.

BALTIMORE, May 23 up The Murchison brothers of Texas today were declared the winner In their proxy fight to overthrow the present management of the giant Alleghany corp. Their margin was 853.998 stockholder votes. The certification of the upset victory gave each director nominated by the Murchisons 5,028,011 votes to 4,172,013 votes polled by the Incumbent directors headed by board chairman Allen P. Kirby.

THE TRIUMPH of the Murchisons, long powerful in oil, gas and Southwest-era finance, gave them control of the $8.7 billion railroad and investment company and rooted their dynasty in Wall Street. Pleasant and outwardly easy-going, John D. Murchison, 39, a second generation member of the famous clan, personified their interests. John captained an alert, nervy and faultlessly organized team of young businessmen that took on and beat a Manhattan big leaguer, Kirby, 68, whose fortune is estimated at $300 million. The Murchisons topped Kirby in America's richest proxy fight measured by assets involved.
