REGARD WAKEFIELD PLAN AS LONG
 STEP FORWARD

Washington, March 22.-Leaders of railroad labor who have long advo- cated government ownership and con- trol of the roads loook upon the Warfield plan as a big forward step toward the end of private control of the nations carriers.
 The proposal of Warfield who is head of the Association of Railroad securities holders would virtually place the control of the roads in the hands of a governmental super-gov- erning body. Labor leaders view his plan as the first move on the part of those in the owning class to take th cooperation of the roads away from those now in control.
 Officials of the Plumb Plan League who have conducted persistent propa- ganda in favor of government owner ship, said the Warfeld statement was "a rank admission that private own ership and control have broken down."
