 "If Congress believes that civilian control is a great evdl,'' said Mr. Dan ie1s, if it bee1ieves that the policy which has prevailed since the foa1n- datfon of our government should be reversed and that the navy should be removed from civilian control, let it follow Sims lead, create a. general staff on the German model and name some Won Tdrpitz to rule the navy.

RAILROADS ASK
 GOVERNMENT TO
 GIVE THEM HELP
(continued From Page One )

So great is the traffic congestion. according to reports and complaints from many quarters that there is inn mediate danger of wholesale closing of big industrial plants and the con sequent cut in production.
 Should the commission find. in the strength of reports laid before it by the railway executives that the emer- gency justifies it, orders taking over virtually complete control of the movement of freight probably will be issued today. The first step would be the issuance of priority orders for shipments of coal, for which there is crying need at many points, food and perishables- The use of cars would be limited to these comm odities but railroad men said they were more concerned with the problem of nov ing and unloading upwards of 100000 cars that have caused the congestion. The possibility of curtailing passen- ger service has been considered by the roads so as to expedite freight move ment, but officials said this would be done only as a last resort
