REGIONAL CONTROL OF
ROADS TO BE CHANGED

Under changes decided upon in the
policy Of the federal railroad admins
tration, railroad systems Operating in
two regional districts will be operated
es a unit under the control of the re-
gional director OF the region in which
the railroad has it's greatest mileage,
instead of the mileage in each re-
gion being under the control Of the
regional director OF that particular re-
gion, as at present, according to sd-
vices received In local railway circles.
The only Memphis road affected BY
the new policy will be the Frisco sys-
tenn, which has mileage In both the
Southern and the Southwestern regions.
Since the Frisco has It's greatest mile
age in the Southwestern regional dis
trict, the control of the lines east Of
the Mississippi river will pass from
B. l.. Winchell, of Atlanta, regional
director Of the Southern region, to B.
+: Bush Of st. Louis, regional director
Of the Southw sstern region. 4
Official announcement of the new
policy Is expected within a few days.
