Intimations that he was to be shelv-

learned on reliable authority that Pres.

Crowder s friends were doubtful as
to his reappointment until today. Soma
of them claimed that he would automat.
ically go out of the service if not nom
mated before February Is. They feai
ed that what amounted to bad blood be-

They declared privately that many
obstacles had been put in the way OF

an admitted success. They claimed
too, that a reprimand from the chief Of

Bill On Contract Royalties Is
Referred Back To Commit
tee In House.

The Warren construction company,
sometimes known as the "paving
trust,' won first blood this morning in
the house Of representatives when the
question came up as to whether tho
state should pay royalties on paving
contracts and that bids on the construc.
ton Of roads should be made without
including the cost Of royalties.
Although the bill had been before tho
roads and highways committee Of the
house since January 15 Chairman Dcr-
mis- Of this committee said it was not
ready to act on the question OF royal-
ties and the giving Of contracts fol
construction alone.
On the vote taken four of the Marion
county delegation lined up in favor oi
the state paying royalties and the let
ting Of contracts to not include royal
ties. These were Speaker Seymour
Jones, Martin, Weeks and Martin. With
the wishes Of those who favored tho So
called trust was the vote of D5vid Loo
ney Of Jefferson.
In opening the debate on the BIZ
Dennis Of Yamhill, chairman of thC
roads and highways commission said ht
was not opposed to counties bidding or
work or to the commission doing thu
work when for the good Of all. But h
WIS opposed to that part Of the bil
providing that the state pay royalties
and that contractors be obliged to sub

In the general fight that has beer
made between the so-called paving trus

AS COMPROMISE
TO OPPOSITION
Director General Is Frankly
Opposed To Government
Ownership OF Roads.
HOWEVER, Is WILLING TO
ADOPT five YEAR TEST
Railroads May Be Turned
Back To Private Concerns
On June 80.
By Raymond Clapper

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington. Feb. 3. - Government
railroad control must be extended for
at least three years or be shelved at
once.
That is the ultimatum laid down to-
day by Walker D. Hines, director gen
eral Of railroads.
He proposed three year extension
period as compromise because of bit
ter opposition in congress to the re-
cent five year recommendation of Will
liam G. McAdoo.
In any event, Hines, declared when
he faced the senate interstate com
merce committee today, the present
twenty one month limit on govern
ment operation is ntolerable. He had
in mind the resolution introduced by
Senator Cummins to prevent return OF
the railroads to private control before
that limit expires.
Hines came out frankly against
government ownership but earnestly
appealed for adoption of five year
test period. He favors private opera

would Accomplish Much
s'I think a three year extension
would accomplish a great deal to re
move the difficulties which are in
herent in the twenty one months
plant Hines told the senate tom
mittee. Even three years would seq
regate and spread out and in part diss
ipate the unfavorable and the phycho
logical factors which under the q
months plan promise to converge 81
os to do the maximum damage to tht
public service.
Also the three year extension
would give opportunity for Legislation
Immediately following instead of i'm
mediately preceding the presiddntia
election.
Butt he added, 81 believe tn,
five year extension would be much bet
