 CHANCE, SAYS L0VETT

NEW YORK, July 13.-Suggestions to members of congres for "a sound so- lution of the railroad problem" by Robert $. Lovett, former president of the Union Pacific railroad system and made public today, included as fun damental principle the necessity of legislation that will give railroad capi- tai a business chance"
 MT. Lovett declared that, in his opinion the country is confronted with four contingencies: inadequate ser vice, government ownership, a federal guaranty of reasonable return upon railroad capital'. or reasonable rate fixing by a government agency.
 Regarding rate making, Judge Lo- vett maintained the regulation provided by congress should require that the rates be sufficient to enable the car riers to provide the requisite service and facilities, protect existing invest ment and provide the new capital nee essary in the public interest, as advo- cated by the committee of railroad eX- ecutives.
 Judge Lovett. likewise, favors five other features of the railroad commit tees report as being remedial, and wise as a national railroad policy, namely compulsory federation incor- poration, exclusive federal regulation of securities and rates, creation of a department of transportation in the presidents cabinet, the head of which would have power ito act quickly and deal with emergencies" and modifica- tion of restrictions upon railroad con- solicitations andsprovision for the merg- ing of lines when in the public interest.

WASHINGTON. July 13.-Affidavits purporting to show criminal misuse of public funds by the Spruce Production division of the army air service, col lccted during the past year by the Providence Journal have been sub mitted to the special house committee investigating war department eXpen- ditures. and are being investigated by a sub committee of which Representa- tive Frear of Wisconsin is chairman.
 According to a statement authorized today by Mir. Frear, the affidavits al lege that contracts for spruce produc- ton and railroad construction on the Pacific Coast were awarded under the cost plus system to companies which had no practical experience in the work, with the result that great sums of money were wasted.

 Charges are made" the statement said, that the government was sub jected under the cost plus system to a cost of practically S650 per thousand feet for spruce when private concerns were producing the same kind for from $130 to SITS.
 -''The affidavits assert the waste caused by companies in building camps in inaccessible localities ran into many thousa nds of dollars; that there was on utter lack of proper care of food stuffs. and that in many cases hun dreds of dodlars worth of flour, lard even pepper, were carelessly thrown into the mud at a side of the road and left to rot. In one instance, stoves were left exposed to the weather and ruined
 There are affidavits alleging that miles and miles of two o-inch plank road were built into the forests and never used and camps constructed where spruce was felled, but not an inch ever brought out.
 Colonel Bryce P. Disque, former chiet of the spruce production, is criticized in the affidavits for having adopted wasteful methods for the production o1 spruce, for having used poor judgment in the lumber tracts to be worked and for having often reversed himsel1 in decisions. By his adoption of 8 process for splitting logs. only 20O,00( feet of lumber was obtained iron 3,0O0.0O0 feet of logs by one mill anc only 5 per cent of the lumber was fiji for airplane stock
