RAILROAD MEASURE
 PASSES SENATE
Administration Forces Win Every
 Point Under Dispute

Washington, Feb. 23.-With ad- ministration forces victorious on every contested point the bill for government control of railroads passed the senate last night without a roll call. Determined efforts to pre- scribe limitations beyond which tbe president or the director general might not go in managing the rail- reads failed when senators of both partie;z rallied strongly behind Sen ato, Smith of South Carolina, admin istration spokesman on this measure
 So generous was the senate that the president is to be- untrammeled ps any existing law that he deems VIII handicap or hinder effective govern mental control and management oi the transportation systems. by c vote of 46 to 25, the senate expressly provided that the president need not have any specific legal authority TOT his orders. And a moment iatef' oy viva voce vote, it swept aside pro- posal by Senator Smith of Georgia to require him to abide by all exist ing laws regulating railroads.
 These two votes clearly affirmed the senate's determination to give the administration the broadest possible powers. Time and again, during the spirited debate preceding the final vote, the majority expressed itself overwhelmingly in the same strain.
 Tn one important particular the bill was amended. Upon motion of Sena- tore Cummins of Iowa every competi- tive short line railroad in the country was brought within Federal control, whether Director General McAdoo has designated it or not. Senator Gum nlins was backed in his plea for the small roads by Senator Smith of South Carolina and many other proponents of the measure, even though the policy involved is the direct opposite of that announced by Director Gen. eral McAdoo as the one he intended to follow.
 When appearing before the Inter- state Commerce committee in hearings on the bill Director General McAdoo stated that he planned to include only those short line railroads needed for government use. The others, he said, must be content to accept whatever business they managed to pick up, making whatever sacrifice was in
