CREATES NO SURPLUS

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 11.-Recom. mendation by Director General Me Adoo that government control of rail roads continue until January, 1924, was no surprise to the railroad e&ecu- tives of the country, it was learned today. The railroad executive advis- ory committee, which is in confer ence here on problems relating to the return of the roads to private opera tion, had intimations from Washing ton that the administration was con sidering the advisability of recom- mending an extension of government control.
 The railroad heads, however, read with great interest the Washington dispatches, especially the reasons giv- en by Director General McAdoo for re- commenting the continuance. but none of them would express his views
 The advisory committee is made up of 24 members, representing 125 rail roads throughout the country. This

relinuuish control of the railroads, and it was the general understanding that the administration would wait two or three months before actually starting the, relinquishment proceedings to give congress a chance to act. Re- cent developments have shown the difficulty of determining final policy at this time, however. according to railroad administration officials.
 Managers Want Roads.
 Most railroad owners and managers are said to have urged that the roads be relinquished, but under some sort of remedial legislation giving them power to pool their resources and eliminate wasteful competition. There have been no important advocates of restoration of the old conditions, ac- cording to officials. On the other hand, the friends of government own ership have just begun to renew agi- tation for retention by the govern ment of permanent control, and later purchase of the railroads property.
 When the railroad control bill was enacted. Mir McAdoo urged that the period of control not be limited to 21 months after the formal close of the war, saying this would not give op- portunity for a real test of govern ment management. At that time he expressed himself as opposed to gov ernment ownership.
 Recently he again expressed dis that government man. agement had such limitations, saying that there was danger of the railroad question becoming a political issue in the elections of 1920. This would be unfortunate. he said. because the question was purely economic and should not properly be entangledI with political issues.
