taiion service for months to come
less satisfactory" than during Fed
eral control was forecast tonight by
Director-General Hines in what he
termed "valcdictory comments" on
the general railroad situation. before
the National Press Club. He coun-
seled public patience and co-opera-
tion by the corporate owners and
labor. Without these. he said, the
prospect of successful restoration of
adequate service was materially les
sened.
Mr.. Hines plans to retire as direc-
tor-general next week, and there
fore. he said. could speak with "a
reasonable degree OF detachment"
with respect TO railroad problems.
The principal problem is the broad
question Of financing, Mr.. Hines said.
He estimated the annual needs OF
the roads .'conscrvatively" at $1,000
100000 for equipment. extension of
facilities and the general rchahili-
tation of the properties.
Need of a rate structure which
would put the roads on a self-sus-
tanning basis was described by the
director-Eencral as OF supreme inn
portance."
