The president is relying on the

senate making textual amendments

ever. for the senate to express itself
by going on record with "interpreta-
tons" in a separate resolution. This
will not worry any OF the foreign

GOVERNMENT WILL
NOT RELINQUISH
CONTROL OF ROADS

Washington, March 5.--.The govern
ment has no immediate intention of re-
linquishing control of railroads as a
result of the failure of congress to ap-
propriate funds for the railroad admin
istration, Director General Hines stat
ed today. The railroad administration,
Mr.. Hines said, did not contemplate
raising rates as means Of dealing
with it's financial predicament.
He also explained that every effort
would be made to continue operatins
as usual to avoid laying off employees
and to finance the railroads through
private loans or through advances
from the war finance corporation.
Although the railroad administra-
tion's program of capital expenditures
for extensions. improvements and new
buildings may be modified, the govern
ment will try to continue the projects
planned throughout the next few
months.
