PETERS WINS FIGHT
ON TRAIN ROUTING
Pennsylvania and New Haven to
Continue Direct Service.

Assistant Secretary OF the Treasury
Andrew J. Peters has won his fight
to induce the railroads to route trains
from New England SO that returning
vacationists will not be exposed to the
infantile paralysis epidemic in New
York.
The Pennsylvania and New Haven
roads have been running one train n
week from Boston across the Pough-
keepsie bridge and into Jersey City to
avoid entering New York city. Through
SECRETARY Peters appeal to the rail-
roads and the Interstate Commerce
Commission the roads have decided to
extend this service until October LIST
although they had previously announced
II would be suspended September 10.
The two railroads also agreed to run
two trains n week, which will be suf-
hcient to accommodate all New Eng
land vacationists returning to Washing
ton, Baltimore, and the South.
