RAIL EXECUTIVES FOR
PRIVATE MANAGEMENT
AND CABINET OFFICER

Washington, Jan. o. comprc-
hensiye program for private owner
ship and management OF railroads
under strict government regulation
was laid before the senate interstate
commerce committee today by T.
de Witt Culner. president OF the
association OF railway executives,
representing virtually all the lead
ing roads in the United States. The
plan includes provision for merging
systems, a large measure OF unihca-
tion OF operation, pooling OF iacil-
titles and in certain case, OF earnings
and enforcement Of adequate service
under supervision of a secretary OF
transportation, a new cabinet Office,
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission acting as a supreme court OF
review OF rate disputes.
Wage and employment disputes
which could not be settled between
employees and managements would
be referred to an adjustment board
within the department OF tranSporta-
ton. under the plan, and strikes and
lockouts forbidden pending inyes-
tigation.
Most operating reforms effected
during unified management by the
railroad administration would be
continued, but the executives object
to Director General McAdoo's pro-
posal for five years extension OF
government control Their suggeS-
tions are similar to the recommeu-
dations OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission presented to the senate
committee at hearings earlier thi.
week.

STRING BEANS CHECK SIGNED NEW POTATOES

The sheriff's office wants New Po- totaes. After supply of String Beans yesterday the office announced it was looking for Spuds.
 This is not a notice to farmers to bring their wares to the court house, for it is not produce market that the sheriff is advocating. but a man hunt for poultry buyer who styles himself Potatoes"
 A Glendale Mexican exhibited a curious check to Sheriff Montgomery yesterday drawn on the Glendale State bank for the sum of s25. It was made payable to String Beans and signed New Potatoes" When the payment for p chickens was made to the Mex ican by check he informed his pur- chaser that he was not familiar with checks and asked him how to endorse it, so that the paper bears the endorse ment of Kid Gloves"
 When he went to the bank for his money from the chicken sale the Mex ican, who can neither read nor write, was informed of the trick played on him and he made a quick run to the authorities asking that New Potatoes be arrested on an embezzlement charge.

MARSHALL URGES PHOENIX PEOPLE ID BACK '. W. U. 4.
Vice President Marshall
 Gives A Substantial
 Check T. Add Weight To Encouraging Words

Vice President Thomas Marshall, in a speech before the Rotary club yester- day, urged Phoenix people to go full length in support of the Young Wom- ems Christian association.
 The vice presidents encouragement was accompanied by substantial check. His remarks followed a five minute adderss by Mrs. Grace Sutton Powell, a national field secretary of the organization, who spent yesterday here from San Francisco. Mrs. Powell's address was punctuated with applause, which she acknowledged with the dec laration that she was adding, for the time it consumed, two minutes to her allotted five. Vice President Marshall vas among those who urged her to go on regardless of her time limit, prof fering time from his own allotment. We want to hear all about the splen- did work of the Y. w. C. A. Too much cannot be made known concerning it for the benefit of the public, and par ticularly of our men. They need the knowledge in order that they may con- tribute as liberally as they should" de- clared the vice president.
 His subsequent endorsement of the Y. W. c. A. in the course of his own address was a follow-up of the urgency brought by Mrs. Powell. Later in the day there was a further gain of local endorsement from notable people, Lieu tenant Hobson adding his word to that of the vice president and former Sec retary of the Treasury William G. Me Adoo given during his visit Wednesday
 Mrs. Powell spoke first yesterday at the Central Methodist Episcopal church luncheon. Later she accepted the in vitation of Mir Dennett to appear be- fore the Rotary club. She presented first the picture of needless, flippant girl. good at heart but developed in a wrong environment. The processes of gentleness and consideration, kindly

guidance and development through physical, mental, recreational and spir- itual methods, by which these girls were brought to the high standard of the best in American girlhood and womanhood, the finest thing in the world, were then briefly sketched by Mrs. Powell She added something of the astonishing statistics of widespread and successful work accomplished by the Y. W. c. A. with the comparatively small funds it has ever asked from the public. Funds subscribed by the pub lie. indeed, have been but a small part of the whole that has been earned for the work by the near supporting organiza tions of the association throughout the country.
 The situation of the Phoenix asso- citation of the Y. W. c. A. was stated at the headquarters in the Y. W. c. A cafeterial building at 127 North Central avenue last evening as being simply one of necessity to continue the cam paign for funds into next week The amount necessary to complete the fund of s7,O00 is something less than $3,500 a little more than half of the required amount having been secured up to last night. Failure to. complete the cam paign within the five days in which il was thought the work could be done, is attributed to the fact that a number who had expeced to participate in the soliciting and had been assigned dis tricts, were detained from doing SC either by personal illuess or illness ir their families.
 At the luncheon at the Central M F. church yesterday the workers tool cognizance of their situation and unan- imously agreed that each would keeI on with the soliciting of funds unti the requisite amount was secured. The solicitors will work today and on Mon day resume.
