Senate to Hear
McAdoo To-day
On Railway Bill
He Will Give His Ideas or
Future Administration of
Federal Operation

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. 1850 Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo, now in charge
Of all the railroads, has been sum-
moned to appear before the Senate In
terstate Commerce Committee tomor
row to explain the Admini stration rail-
road bill and give his ideas on future
administration of government opera
ton. A. T. Thom, general counsel for
the Railway Executives Advisory Com
mittee, has been granted permission to
make a legal argument on the bill be-
fore the committee early next week.
Frank Trumbull, chairman of the
Railway Executive advisory Commit
tee, testifyng before the committee
to-day, urged that the Railway Bill
be amended so as to definitely limit the
duration of government control over
the railroads. He said he did not favor
government ownership, but added:
81 think this particular step, though,
was inevta ble," referring to the Prcsi
dents recent action. He explained that
some sort Of government guarantee
has been unavoidable since 1910, when
the railroads lost their power to fix
their own rates and "do what every
business man can O'clock out for the
future"
"Rcgulation is proper he continued,
"but when it takes charge of the reve-
nues of company it should be accom-
panied by some guarantee. For that
reason ! thought this step inevitable"
"From your standpoint, then, the
railroads must have HIGHER rates or
obtain some sort Of guarantee ?"
asked Senator Cummins.
Yes" he replied; "either that or
the adoption Of the French system"
Mr.. Trumbull maintained that not
only was the future credit of the rail-
roads at stake, but government finance
as we'll, and that whatever computa-
ton is made should be on the basis of
property taken over at the time it was
taken. He said the railroads of the
country had invested $934,00o,000 in
their properties from June 80. 1915, to
December 81. 1917, and should be COM
pensated for that expenditure

Senators Watching
Bill for Control of
Newsprint Paper
No justification for Federal
Control of Industry,
They Declare
Measure Likely to Pass
Promises Made That Thor
ough Hearings Will Be Held
Before Action Is Taken
Measure Likely to Pass
[Stdf Co2vespOndeNcel


WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Certa
Senator'S are suddenly much Interested
in the news print paper measure
now pending as Senate Joint Rcsolu-
tion 101, which purports to "provide
further for the national security by
insurng to the government Of the
United States an adequate supply of
print paper at fair price and by in
suring a supply and equitable distrib-
ution at fair prices to the industries
of the United States"
This nominal title of the news print
resolution bears no obvious intention
to effect censorship. But in the first
section Of the preamble the necessity
for Congr casional action Oh the news
print situation is represented to be in
order "that all proper news may be
generally and efficiently disseminated. !"
The Smith resolution confers sweep
ing authority on tho Federal Trade
Commission to control the news print
paper situation. This control under
not only the regulation of production,
distribution of print paper. The pen
atty clause of the resolution provides
imprisonment for three years and q
fine of O,O00 for violation of the pro
posed act.
Under the terms Of the proposed law
the Federal Trade Commission will
have utNority to commander every
paper mill in the United States. The
resolution provides that the President
in his discretion may order that all pa
per mills "shall be operated on gov
ernment account" and that their
products shall be pooled in the hands
Of the Federal Trade Commission"
While Senators agree that there may
be justification for legislation seeking
more equitable adjustment of news
PRINT paper prices, they declare that no
justification for the proposed sweeping
control over the entire paper situation
exists. In this connection, it is
pointed out, much of the alleged
groundwork for complaint over news
PRINT paper prices has been recently
dlssipated by voluntary price adjust
ment between the paper manufacturers
and their consumers
Senators, who on general grounds
are disposed to attack the so called
paper trust" point out that under the
pending legislation the Federal Trade
Commission would have authority to
commander private paper stocks and
distribute them at will Moreover,
newspaper with private paper manu-.
factury could be compelled to serve its
competitors with news print paper.
"Suppose that the President should
name George Crcel to handle the news
print situation under this proposed
law" said one leading Senator to-day
Unless there is a determined fight
made against the Smith proposal it will
pass both the Senate and House, it is
predicted. Predictions are made, how
ever, that the measure will be "thor-
oughly aired" before any action is
taken On If

Nivelle Appointed to
Lead French in Algeria
Former Commander in Chief
Won Fame in Offensive
in SCISSORS

PARIS. Jan. 10.-General Robert
George Nivelle has been appointed to
command the army serving in Algeria.
The appointment of General Nivellc is
considered by the newspapers as the
commencement of reparation to the
former generalssimo Sor the discredit
into which he fell as & result of the
April offensive.
General Nivelle was in command Of
the French forces when the great
offensive was launched against the Ger
mans on twenty-five mile front be-
tween Solssons and Rheims in April,
1917: Although big gains were made
by the French troops, there was much
controversy over it. In the Chamber
OF Deputies it was discussed at length
and many charges were made that the
offensive had been checked and that
the French had paid too dearly for the
enterprise. NJ. Ribot, then Premier
acknow edged that the attack had been
costly, but declared that instead Of hay-
ing been checked it was a real sue
cess.
Paul Painleve, the then Minister Of
War. said he could not deny that So
rlous faults had been committed and
that the responsible chiefs. amono
them General Nivele, had been re,
ileved OF their commands
N1vellc was succeeded as commander
IN chief in May of last year, a little
more than a month after the Aisnc
offensive, by General Henri Philippe
Petain and placed in command Of q
group of armies.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10-There is a
serious crisis in raw materials in Ger

cabled by an Allied government to
Washington to-day. The report is based
upon statements by the German manu-

IN the German newspapers. The report
follows:
1--WE know how much Germany is suf-
ferlng from the lack of raw materials,
but it is generally supposed that She
has abundant iron ore at her disposal
and that she produces quantities of
steel This is not altogether the case.
For various reasons, iron ore arrives in
insufficient quantities at the metal fac

considerably reduced"
