NEW RAIL DIRECTOR
TO BE NAMED LATER
Resignation OF Eoyett Leaves NC
Adoo without Available Candi.
date 20 Recommend to Wilson.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.--A new
director general Of railroads TO sue
ceed William @. McAdoo may not
be named for two weeks or more. II
was said today. The resignation Of
Robert s. Lovett, as director Of the
railroad administrations division Of
capital expenditures, was announced
today, and his insistence on going
back to his old duties as chairman
Of the executive committee OF the
Union Pacific, was considered as
having left Mr.. McAdoo without a
candidate Immediately at hand to
recommend to President Wilson. 1t
was stated authoritatively that the
director general In now looking about
Il Is considered probable that some-
one outside the railroad administra-
ton staff will be chosen.
Mr.. McAdoo today conferred with
his advisory staff OF the railroad ad-
minlstration concerning proposed
plans for supervising railroads when
they are turned back to private man
agement Two differing plans are
undcrstood to have developed among
his advisers. One proposal is TO have
the railroads merge into regional
groups, with common operating
management to start and eventually
to develop into common ownership,
with the roads themselves selecting
their regional managements. In
which the government would be rep
resented.
The other plan put forth is for the
roads to operate individually and pri-
a l.t a.
under the supervision OF II govern
ment agency, to be known perhaps as
the department OF transportation,
headed by cabinet member. To this
agency would be left largely the
question OF making proper rates. ad-
ministcring the common use OF ter
minals and pooling Of cars and, to a
certain extent the routing Of freight
traffic both plans would propose
government supervision OF railroad
securities issues
