DELAYS ACTION ON
RAILROAD PROBLEM

Washington, Dec. l1,-president Will
son will not act on the railroad problem
before the Christmas recess of con-
Sress. 1t was authoritatively stated to-
day that he probably will take his plan
for the solution to congress Immediate
ly after the holidays.
In spite of persistent reports that one
plan or another has been decided upon,
there apparently is nothing to indicate
that the president has eonfided his de-
cision to anyone if he has determined
upon a solution. Most of his advisers
believe that he will adopt some meas
ure of government control of railroads
greater than now exercised, and that
Il federal administrator or director will
be named.
