BRYAN'S PLAN TO SOLVE
 THE RAILROAD PROBLEM

Washington, Aug. 29.-William Jen- nings Bryan today laid before the house interstate commerce committee his dual plan of state and federal ownership of railway lines as a soIu- ton of the railroad reorganization problem. In doing so. Jthe former sec retary of state denounced private ownership of the railroads as indefen- sible and intolerable and character ized railroad magnates as political corruptioniSts.
 We have never tried government ownership" declared Mir. Bryan. re- ferring to the railroad administration. "A subsidized newspaper never thinks to tell that the government took over the railroads when the private own CTS could not run them. The govern ment has been only in temporary con- trol and the roads in the hands of those who wanted to see government ownership fail so they could get the roads back
 Mr. Bryan advocated that the fed era1 government own skeleton trunk line system. reaching into every state. which in turn would own the other carriers within the state boundaries. His plan, he estimated. would cost the government four or five billion dollars, while state ownership would be de- cided by the people. who might decide for temporary private ownership.
