It was generally accepted that the re-

commerce committee todaN that he
thought the government should retain
operation of the railroads for some
time after peace comes, and not return
them to private ownership until new
and comprehensive laws had been en-
acted to govern them
Director General McAdoo denied that
he had anything to do with the fuel
restriction order. He said he approved
of the order and thought it would be
very beneficial.
McAdoo Indicated. however. that if
weather conditions improved. that it
might not be necessary for the fuel
order to remain in effect as long as In
dicated. He declared the Transports
ton situation was being greatly inn
proved and that the entire fuel prob
lem could be worked out SO that his
office could effect a better distribu-
ton.

believe it will be impossible to turn the
roads back to their owners under ex-

form of government control.
Senator Watson asked il the rail-
roads under government control would
not continue to operate under their
old management except for orders
given from time to time by the director
general.
