House Gets Bill
Granting Power
To Fund Roads
Measure TO Amend Carrier
and War Finance Acts
Is Offered After Talk
With Senate Leaders
Will Solve Depression
Similar Legislation Will
Be Offered by Townsend
to Speed Rail Program
From Tae 7ribano'e Washington Bnreou

WASHINGTON, July 2s.-Conpress
moved to-day toward providing the
authority asked by the President to
finance the railroads through the War
Finance Corporation. Chairman Sam
uel Winslow, of the House Committee
on Interstate and Foreign Commerce,
after final conference with Senate
leaders, introduced bill which would
amend the transportation act and the
War Finance Corporation act so as to
make possible execution of the plan.
The Winslow bill differs only in a
few less important details from the
measure Senator Townsend will in
troduce in the Senate within the next
dsy or two, probably tomorrow.
Flotaton of up to 100000, 900 of
railroad securities by the War Finance
Corporation is, in the belief of the Ad-
ministration, the key to the whole in
dustrial depression. This means of
providing the carriers with working
funds will, IL is declared, bring a
speedy settlement of the accounts he-
tween the roads and the government
and at the same time enable them TO
move banking credits of about $3.50.
100000 which are now virtually frozen

will be taken long way toward solu-
tion through providing the roads with
the ability to take on about 100000
employees they. need badly. Another
100000 men, it is estimated, will be re-
turned to employment with railroad
supply industries, which, because of
the carriers inability to buy, are to-
day operating on only the thinnest
skeleton organizations.
In addition, the government railroad
administration can be completely abol-
ished within the next year should the
bill be passed. with the elimination of
about $4,000,000 of annual operating
expenses.
st seems quite possible for the gov
eminent to thus provide the railroads
with working funds in view of money
in hand and in sight and available for
such purposes" declared Chairman
Winslow to-day.
"The passage Of the bill would prob
ably contribute to a more speedy set
tlement of accounts between the car
riers and the government and greatly
facilitate the winding IN of the de-
partment of railroad administration,
which is now giving employment to
upward of 1900 persons of a highly
paid class and bring quicker termina-
ton of the Office of the railroad ad-
ministration.
"The purpose of the bill is to put
funds as quickly as possible in the
hands of the railroads in order that
they may go into the market and pur-
chase supplies necessary for the up
keep and extension of their property.
They apparently are ready to make
such move if their credit can be so
established as to warrant them in so
doing.
THE legislation, if enacted, is of
such character as to make it possible
for the government to adjust its &C
counts with the carriers and help out
the roads under the general provisions
Of the transportation act without new
appropriations by Congress or the in
crease Of the Federal debt"

U. S. Auto Licenses Urged

WASHINGTON, July ga bill pro-
vidlng for Federal licenses for auto
mobiles, good for any state or ter
rltory in the United States, was in
PRODUCED in the House to-day by Rep
1esentative I. Frank Appleby, of New
Jersey. The bill is mandatory, and
requires all persons operating auto
mobiles or elf-propelled vehicles of
any kind on the public highways in
interstate travel to take out special
annual license to be known as a Fed
erai license, to carry with it Federal
registration tag.
The tag would be recognized by
STATES and territories as permitting
me owner of an automobile to operate
RS machine within any state or ter
ritery ne may be visiting, or through
winch winch he may be passing, without any
sectional registration or the obtain
ing OF any additional license. Auto
mobile owners would have to pay 40
cents per horsepower for licenses.
