WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. U.pI-
Heads of practically all important
eastern railroads today pledged per.
sonally to President Hoover to 60
ahead with their full construction
and expansion programs without re-
gard to stock market conditions.
This was the first major develop
n,ont in President Hoover's effort
to stimulate confidence in the i'm.
mediate business outlook. Rail-
roads are among the heaviest buy
crs of steel and their pledge to go

Dry council of bankers from all parts
of the country who were to confer
with President Hoover this after
noon in the second of the series of
heart to heart talks with business
groups which Mr.. Hoover has sche-
duled.
The following statement was pre-
pared jointly by those participating
in the conference.
"The railway presidents were un.
animous in their determination to
cooperate in the maintenance Of EN-
ployment and business progress. 1t
was stated that the railways repre-
sented would proceed with full pro-
grams of construction and better
ment without any reference to recent
stock exchange fluctuations; that
they would canvass the situation as
to further possibilities of expansion,
and that amongst these particularly
railways it appeared that the total
volume of such construction work al
ready indicated an increase during
the next six months over the similar
period of last year.
1t was agreed that the whole cues.
ton should be taken up at the meet
ing of the railway executives con.
vening in Chicago next Friday and
with a view to securing cooperation
of all the railways in the United
States in such program. At that
time steps will be taken to canvass
the railways to determine the AK
act amount of construction and bet-
tement which can be undertaken
over the Forthcoming year and dur
ing the next months.
"The railway executives felt that
it was desirable that similar confer
cnces shoald be called in Other in

measures of coordination should be-
developed"

The Young Republicans were forced
to take their first step backward.
Their members made plain, however,

Their trouble appeared to be their
incxperience. Moving openly they
obtained too much publicity, they
said. Also there were indications
that they had too many spokes,ncn
who did not agree as to the intcn-

TWO HUGE LIGHTS
TO GUIDE FLYERS
Boiling Field Installing TO-

Operated Equipment.

Two i0,000-watt automatically opera
ted flood lights are being installed al
Boiling Field and will be placed in
operation this week for night flying
operations.
These lights. one Of which is located
on the east side of the field near the
operations Office, and the other on the
south end of the field, will make Boiling
Field one of the best lighted airports in
this part of the country.
The lights are located in galvanized
iron buildings about 6 feet square and
z feet high. The walls on three
sides slide down to expose the huge
lenses. Each light has three great light
house lenses mounted before 1t in a
half-circle so as to flood the entire field
area before 1t. The lenses for each light
are said to cost $4,000.
Each light will flood an area mile
square, the plane of light being GEN.
tered about feet above the ground.
1t is expected that the lights will be
bright enough to make 1t possible for a
man a mile away to read newspaper
In the direct beam.
The lights will be controlled from the
operations Office. The pressure Of a
button there will turn on the light and
lower the walls of the lighthouses" SO
as to expose the lenses. The lights are
so arranged that sliding down of the
walls by hand will turn on the light in
case of emergency or disabling of the
distant control switch.
Three lights are arranged behind each
lens so that in case one light burns out
the second will be switched on auto
matically, and if this also fails the third
will be put into operation.
While the lights were installed by the

per cent to protect the legitimate i'm
