BLAMES ROADS FOR
 THEIR OWN LOSSES
Competition With Boats Given
 as thN Reason

Washington, Jan. : Rl-Much Of inc losses claimed hy the railroads can be tracked to rates made to shhe water competition, Brigadicr General Thomas Il, Ashburn, head of the government Mississippi barge line, declared today before the sen ate interstate commerce committee.
 Urging enactment of the Goodlng bill. which would prevent the charg- ing of higher rates for short than for long hauls, he said such an ac. ton would cause the railroads to turn their energies from destroying water competition 10 the develop inent Of the interior portion of tho country, IL wus not fair, he said, for the roads 10 make low rates on long haula, in order 10 meet water competition and then pcnali1e cer- tain sections of the country with high rates on short hauls to make up the deficit
 Speaking for the intermediate rate association of the inter-mountain states, James A. Ford Of Spokane, Wash, urged passage of the bill so inc railroads might be prohibited from returning to what he charac- terized as the discriminatory prac- tices Tn force up 10 the time of the world war. He said railroads back ed by Chicago manufacturers and shippers now arc seeking 10 charge [ much lower rate on basic commo- dities from Chicago to Pacific coast terminals than from the same city 10 intermediate points,
 The result would he," he said, sfhat instead of the inter-mountain country reaping any benefits from the Panama Canal, 1t actually would be penalized because of the water competition furnished by that water way"
 MT. Ford said that Chicago manu- lecturers and shippers are asking that New England be removed from trade with the Pacific coast and that the Panama Canal be eliminat- ed as a factor in coast 10 coast transportation.

The recommendation will be acted upon favorably. it is expected.

COAST DEFENSE
 TESTS IN l927
Army and Navy to Combine
 ManeuVerS Next Year

Washington, May 14 P-Prscti- cal test of the coast defense value or aircraft against a modern fleet may form part Of the joint army navy maneuvers to be held in Aug ust next year, at Narragansett Bay,
 Preliminary plans for the games have been made possible by an agreement in congress on the fuel item of the navy appropriation bill, which will permit the battle fleet to come Into the Atlantic next spring.
 selection of the Narragansett Bay area means that defenses of the north eastern frontier sector are to be tested with the major portion of the fleet on the attack. With the date set more than year from now, both the giant airplane carriers Lexington and Saratoga ahould be with the fleet, carrying a striking force of 2S1 fighting, bombing, tor pedo and scouting planes, with which the defenders will have to deal.
 AS yet neither department has gone beyond making a tentative al- lotment of funds for the joint man. cuYers to be asked at the next ses- sion of congress. The whole project rested upon the availability of fuel for the fleet during the coming fiscal year to bring the ship into the At lantic, and the long wrangle between house and senate conferees over this and other items of the navy bill held up work on the maneuver prob- lem.
 The east coast games will afford the first opportunity for mobiliza- Lion of the armys air fleets to repel an attack by sea and air. Colonel William Mitchell, former assistant. army air chief, contended during the recent aviation controversy that an adequate air force could safeguard the coast line and dominate a 200 milo area off shore, preventing any hostile fleet commander from risk ing destruction within that dis tance.
 With the two swift carriers and their air squadrons at the disposal of the attacking force, however new element enters into the defensive problem and it seems certain that plans for the games will include 8 carefully worked out program de-

Second Section

signed to throw light on the employ ment of planes, extensively and de- fensively, in coastal waters.
 The Lexington will become air flagship of the scouting fleet in the Atlantic after her completion, sched- uled for April, 1927. The Saratoga is expected to be finished in Decem- Der Of this year and will go into the Pacific as air flagship of the battle fleet. Preliminary naval maneuvers between the two fleets In which both the big carriers probably will figure undoubtedly will mark the voyage next spring of the battle fleet into the Atlantic. Whether the two fleets will be combined for the attack on Narragansett Bay remains to be de- cided,
 For the army, selection of the northeastern frontier as the 'theater of war;" will make available the largest number of troops yet assem- bled for maneuver purposes. Not only does the defense problem con- template protection of the most congested part of the country as we'll as the greatest industrial area, but it means reduced costs of troop transportation due to the presence of organized forces, regular, national guard and organized reserves, with in the region. There are three well organized national guard divisions, the New England, New York and Pennsylvania, which might be called upon to participate if funds are made available, and it Is also possi- ble that some plan may be evolved to make limited use of the organiz- ed reserves in the area.
