ARMY ENGINEERS
 PLANS ANNOUNCED
Increasing Program to Prompt
 Gen. Brown to Reor6aniZe

Washington, Sept. 19 (E) - Con fronted with the increasing prob lens of the fast expanding public works program, the army engineer corps is to undergo reorganization 10 administer unbrokenly the gov crnments vast projects for flood control and improvement of rivers, harbors and inland waterways.
 In anticipation of even greater programs, such as the billion dollar Nicaraguan canal and the St. Law renee waterway. President Hoo|er has initiated the plan with the ap pointment of Brigadier General Lytle Brown as chief of engineers with the rank of major general to succeed Lieutenant General Edgar Jadwin, who retired on account of age August 7.
 To Name Engineers
 His plan calls for a decentraliza- ton of administrative power through the appointment of three army engineers, who can serve un- der Brown for a period of years and will be held directly responsible for projects placed in their charge.
 General Brown, after learning ot his appointment from the news papers, "heartily approved" the plan which will place one engineer in charge of the flood control and other work on the lower Mississippi, an- ether in charge of the improve mcnt of the upper Mississippi, the Missouri, Ohio, Illinois and other tributaries contributing to the inland waterway system, and a third in charge of development of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence waterways
 Expenditures Large
 In recent years the annual pubic works outlay has exceeded $10O,- 100000, while rivers and harbors bills calling for expenditure of an equal amount are pending in con 5ress. Each of the three major GC- nestle projects, President Hoo CT 5clievcs, eventually will surpass the Panama canal undertaking.
 Including as it does the prospect i've Great Lakes to the sea project, as sponsored by President Hoover
 
 with the Nicaraguan canal, and the proposed extension and deepening of navigable waters in the Mississippi basin, the plan is regarded by many as contemplating the greatest public works program ever undertaken.
 l resident Hoover was known to desire to select a successor to Gen rral 1adWin who could remain q minimum of four years and carry on without Interruption the work Of improving inland waterways, which has been revived greatly in the last decade as a means of reducing freight transportation costs.
 Brown Has s Years General Brown who served in the engineer corps for 23 years. was se- leCted from a score of qualified men lecause he has eight years to serve hefore retirement. Although he does not plan 10 assume his new post ton, he reported at the office of | chief of engineers Ito get acquaint~ ed with the new iob.' 1 He said the reorganization would ! be based on the placing of men "on | big Jobs' instead of putting them in 1 charge of districts and divisions as at present No radical changes | would be made, he said, in the ad- ministration of the corps without the | approval Of President Hoover and | Secretary Good.

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson &, McKinnon)


NEW YORK. July 15.-The long
expected and frequently postponed
movement in the railroad shares APP
pears to be under way at last. There
is perhaps more merit to the popu-
larity of the rails than can be said
of other departments of the list.
Leaving aside the possibilities of
consultations we have the group as
q whole selling at very little above
ten times earnings. the yields are
generally substantially above those
to be found in the industrial group
and above all is the fact that the
profit marking has been steadily in
creasing with the corresponding
drop in expenses. indicating steadily
increasing operation efficiency,
which has resulted in the blowing
back Of earnings to surplus account.
We do not wish to create the i'm
preston that we have changed my
long range views of the industrial
shares. We do believe. however, that
the induStrialS are in more vul-
nerable position than the rails and
they will probably be more senSi-
tive to any adverse conditions. such
as the firming up of money rates,
which is a possibility during the
current week. We are somewhat
concerned over the failure OF the
cali rate to decline. but so long as
il is maintained at or below 9 per
cent We would regard it as conflr-
nation that banking sources con-
sider the market future as sound.
