concrete developments in the railroad

day. the impression gained In ofncial
circles was that the situation was be-

Cabinet members who discussed the

was forthcoming as TO the manner IN
which tho transportation crisis would

II was his intent to support any ade-

accusations against his labor standing.
Ie called attention TO the fact that thi 5
