Downs Thanks Public
For Helping Railroads
President of Central of Georgia Says
Officials Feel Encouraged.

Railway management is encouraged
| by the evidence OF spirit OF lair play
on the part OF the public, and by the
general appreciation OF transportation
achievements in 1928, when a record
breaking traffic was moved without a
car shortage This is the statement
Of L. A. Downs, president OF the Cen
trail OF Georgia Railway Company, i'll
an article published elsewhere in The
News.
Mr.. Downs mentions the construct
i've spirit of the newspapers, the CO.
operative attitude OF shippers and the
action of many civic organizations in
support of a sound public policy to-
ward the railways. He says the only
exception is the scheming of certain
radicals who want to decrease the val
uation of the railways, as fixed by the
Interstate Commerce Commission, and
thus reduce the net return of the
roads. This net return, he points out,
was but 81 per cent last year. Adop-
ton of such a scheme, he says, would
result in only a negligible reduction
in rates paid by the public, but would
bankrupt many of the railways, seri-
ously impair the credit of all and ter
inmate in government operation with
its inevitable burden upon the already
over-burdened taxpayers.
President Downs expresses conf
dence that the people, as a whole, rec
ognize their need for more adequate
and dependable transportation rather
than for cheaper transportation, and
does not believe that they are in sym
pathy with such schemes. He says
that the Central of Georgia will con
tinue its policy OF placing accurate
information before the public and in
vites constructive criticism and sug-
gestions.

 The days most spectacular event and the climax of the track and field series came in the grueling marathon race.
 Under flaming sun and along bak. ing roads Stenroos of Finland, led the field to victory.
 Bertini of Italy was second, Clarence De Mar, of Boston, third Cuthbert and MacAuley, both of Canada, fin. ished fourteenth and fifteenth, respec- lively. Frank Vending, of the United States, was seventeenth and Frank Zuna, of the United States was nine teenth.
 Stenroos covered the distance in two hours, AZ minutes and p and 3-5 seconds.
 Runners Fall Out
 Runner after runner staggered onto the field exhausted, but Stenroos made powerful finish. while the cheers of the crowd rocked the stadium as he crossed the line. Stenroos paused fla have his picture taken by the eager photographers, and then sprinted gaily around the field to his dressing room all before the second runner had an. peared in the stadium.
 The Finnish marvel, who is 37 years old, is a sewing machine salesman when not getting into trim for dis. tance runs.
 Sixty thousand people packed Go. while more thousands lined the lonq while mare thousands lined the lonG route. At the start of the race a brisk mid-afternoon breeze sprang up, tenn. pering the heat and giving indications of normal conditions for sle race. The Americans, having made sure of first place on points in the events, were hopefully looking for further laurels in the long run.
 Race Starts
 At 5 20 p. m., the race began. The sun was bright, but the fresh breeze had cooled the atmosphere. As the 5e runners swung out of the stadium the crowd gave them a noisy demonstration shouts of encouragement coming in a DdDDIo or tongues.
 The American runners wore water soaked cabbage leaves on their heads the cool leaves being bound on under handkerchiefs.
 The Frenchmen wore white jockey caps, while the English runners had Panama hats. Only three men rar bareheaded. All the marathon runners carried sponges in their hands to wipt off precipitation.
 Sashire Leads
 Sashire, of Japan, was leading al the men slipped out of the stadium Ghexmati of France, was second, anC Da Aar, of America, third. There wa, a hammer of feet, a last shout oi 'tgood luck" and the racers were or their way with 42 kilometers and 19s meters to go.
