 OWNERS PLAN TO FIGHT LEGISLATION
Became Alarmed At Activi- tlves Of Progressives And
 Radicals
By THOMAS l.. STOKES

tSFeCIUi DlspAtcn TO A&e-HcralO.D
 WASHINGTON, July 15.-Railroad security owners, alarmed at the campaign now being carried on by progressives, are planning an active fight against them.
 It will be twofold:
 1. Active entrance into hearings before the interstate commerce con- mission to oppose a lower valuation for the railroads, sought by progress sives. No defense has heretofore been made by the railroads.
 ?. A campaign in the next Con- gress to prevent tampering with the transportation act, and tC obtain other legislation which failed when that act was adopted.
 The announcement was contained in joint letter sent to it's members by the National Association of Own CTS of Railway Securities, which urged the necessity of taking ad vanced positions to meet the new dangers. The letter resulted from a recent conference in New York. and was made public here Sunday. s. Davies Warfield is head of the se- curities association.
 O o O
 Fear Legislation.
 There are indications that legis- idtiON lndy DS eHdCleu WHlCH IIdy lose to the country and to the rail roads the benefits that have thus far been assured" the letter reads. You may be aware of the attempt to re- subject the old rate policies of the more radical states and the purpose through organized effort to limit railroad property value below that to which we believe the owners of the properties are justly entitled.
 "The interstate commerce commits sion, having now reached the criti cal stage of the entire nine years work of railroad valuation, with fi- nal values and the uses which are to be made of it apparently as undeter- mined a are the factors on which it is based, induces us to consider talk ing part In valuation proceedings"
 Hitherto, it has been stated that the railroads would make no defense of the commissions valuation. It is understood that the case against the valuation figures, fully presented by the prcgressives in hearings now going OF. has forced a change in pol icy. Progressives hold that the ten tative valuation Is too high, and that the comm ssion has not followed the injunction of Congress to find orig inal cost.

ALABAMA SOCIAL LEADERS STUDY IN NORTH CAROLINA
Public Welfare Problems Are Discussed In University
 Courses

CHAPEL HILL, N. C., July 15.- A little group of five Alabama public welfare workers from the Alabama state department of child welfare and the board of control are in Chapel Hill studying public welfare conditions and social problems in the south. They are here in con- nection with the summer school work being done by the University Of North Carolina's school of public welfare and will remain in Chapel Hill for perhaps two weeks longer
 \ The state department of Alabama which they represent only came into being in 1919 and has been expand ing ever since. The representatives here are Misses Virginia Handley and Lydia Eustis of Birmingham. extension and publicity secretaries of the child welfare department; Miss Claudia Weaver of Andalusia, proba ton and attendance officer for Covington county, and Misses Emily Thomas Prattvillc and Lula Dunn of Grove Hill, probation officers.
 There are 10 other Alabama stu dents attending the university here this summer, making a total of 1o from the state. One of these, Miss Mary Miller Colbourne of Birming- ham, came here to study the Kin scelia method music instruction. The Alabama delegations part in the annual Fourth of July celebration was one of the features of the day. It was called The Flags of Ala bama," and ended with all the va rious flags the state has served, in- cludlng tue state flags. the Confed- crate flag, and then the Stars and Stripes To the music of Dixie" and tine Alabama state song these repre- sentations made a big hit with the holiday audience.

 New Guns Described.
 A recent war department memo randum described five new types of ntiaircraft guns now in process of development and also new search light of enormous power to be used for the same purpose. The first of the new guns is the 50-caliber ma chine gun with a horizontal range of about 27.0o0 feet and a straight up range of 5000 to l2,ooo rect and d rate of fire of about 500 shot a min ute. Fire control is maintained with tf is gun through new tracer ammu milton, visible night or day up to 2,500 yards. The 50-caliber gun is under manufacture for issue as a substitute for the 30-caliber weapon now used. which Is a relic of war days.
 The second gun under development is a 23 nm. ma achine gun, firing high explosive shells with fuses so del- icately adjusted that the shells, while safe to handle before firing. explode on contact with balloon fabric once
 
 gun. rate of fire of from 100 to 12O shots a minute is expected with tris weapon. which will have range at 21,000 feet and tracer ammunition visible up to 15,000 feet. aking pos- sible accurate rigging up to that point. It is planned to install these wea- pons in batteries of four operating with a single telescopic sight control and to be trained and fired by single gunner. The result will be secondary barrage zone to keep hos tile craft above the 20,000-foot level and the "37's" will be a higher mo- bile equipment fast in getting into action.
 Reaches 21,ooo Feet.
 The third new gun in the group is 3-inch weapon on mobile mount with a rate of fire of Is shots a minute, effective at attitudes up to 21,O00 feet and with full 360 traverse to enable the gunner to follow his target in any direction. It can be fired at an elevation of so degree and has a horizontal range of more than 3S,000 feet with projectiles weighing 15 pounds and containing a heavy bursting charge. Guns and mounts of this type are now under test at army proving grounds.
 Gun number four in the anti-air craft list is the 4.7-inch, firing a 45- pound shell to an effective altitude of 45,000 feet. Its horizontal range is 27,O00 yards. It is to be mounted on 8 mobile carriage with full tra- verse and equipped for power load ing and with an automatic breech block to speed up firing. This gun also can be fired at an elevation of 80 degrees or within 10 degrees of straight over the gunner's head.
 As supplement to these new weapons. the experts are working out a system of indirect aiming for all of them, experiments having shown that central station control fire is greatly superior to the old war time systems. Two types of cen tral stations are under development, either of which will obviate the necessity for altimeter stations and base line readings and materially speed up aiming and firing, although requiring less personnel in operation than the old control methods.
