RAIL MERGER PLAN
IS CONSTRUCTIVE.
Carrier Systems Should Bene.

Line Combine.
BY DR.. MAX WINKLER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 26-Agree-
ment by the heads of the Pennsylvania,
New York Central, Baltimore g. Ohio,
and Chesapeake & Ohio, to consolidate
under the four-system plan proposed
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in July, is regarded as a con-
structive development, and should exert
favorable influence upon American
transportation systems, hard hit by the
economic crisis.
The adjustment of differences aris-
ing from the Commerce Commissions S
proposal should go long way toward
offSetting the effects of continued un-
satisfactory earnings statements by
leading carriers, as indicated by re-
ports for August and the first eight
months for a number of systems. The
ST. Louis-San Francisco, for instance.
reported for last month a deficit, after
charges, of almost 10 times the August,
1881, deficit, while the loss for the first
eight months increased from 81, l,186, 300
last year to $7,316,122, gain of we'll
over 500 per cent.
Southern Pacific, whose junior issues
were regarded not so long ago as prime
investments, also has not been able to
escape the consequences of the depres-
sion. The roads income for the first
eight months amounted to only ST.
675,389, a shrinkage of almost 80 per
cent, compared with the same period
last year, and well over SO per cent
compared with two years ago.
As result of the amalgamation, each
of the four systems should be able. to
compete more successfully with other
forms of transportation, including motor
vehicle, pipe line, electric transmission
lines and, to a certain extent, Govern
ment supported waterways, which in
recent years have cut seriously into
railway revenues.
Elimination of duplicating facilities
and more economical routing of traffic
should find adequate reflection in earn
ings, which, in turn, should have a
favorable effect upon prices OF securi-
ties of the roads affected.

INSURANCE LOANS
SHARPLY REDUCED
Economists See sign of Re-
turning Confidence as
Borrowings Drop.
BY BERNARD S. O'HARA,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, September ga sharp
reduction IN the month-to-month in
creases in life insurance company loans
to policy holders in July is regarded by
insurance officials and economists as
an indication Of returning confidence
and sign of coming betterment in
business.
Particularly significant, in the opinion
of insurance authorities, is the fact that
the July policy loans of 40 leading life
insurance companies showed the small
est increase since February, 1929, and
was but Is per cent of the gain recorded
last January, the peak period CT the
year. The July figures are the latest
available, but it is believed that the
smaller ratio of increase is still in effect.
AS reported in the survey of current
business of the United States Depart
ment of Commerce, from statistics sup
piled by the Association of Life Insur-
ance Presidents, the curve of policy loans
since 1929 traces the course Of the
economic depression as graphically as
many of the more familiar business
indices. In the first nine months of
1929 mcnth-to-month increases ranged
from 100000 to S22 100000, a nor
NAL f1uctuation. In October, coincident
with the collapse of the stock market,
the increase jumped to $31,000000 and
in November to $69,000,0 900, the high
est for any month in the three-year
period.
In the first quarter of 1880, when
general business was holding at rela-
lively high level, the monthly increases
in loans ranged from S20,000000 to
$32,000,000, thereafter rising steadily
to a peak of $42,000,000 in December.
A trend coincident with the sharp de-
cline in business in the last three quar-
tiers of the year.
In 1881 the largest increases occur
red in the final quarter, in which
business activity was at the lowest level
of the year. Heavy gains carried into
1882 with a peak of SCI 100000 in
January. Succeeding months showed
smaller decreases, but the pronounced
drop did not come until July, de-
velopment which many insurance inter-
ests associate with the turn in the Sc
curity and commodity markets and the
general Frightening OF the business
skies.
Evening star., 1932-09-26

The committee further suggested that
the road at the south end Of the bridge
over the r. F. & p. Railroad at Pohick
Crossing be Strengthened; that the. Ac-
cotink, Pohick and Copperthite Hill
roads are washing badly and need i'm
mediate attention. The association, by
separate resolution, voted to ask the
State to surface-treat the OK road from
Fairfax Station to the District Of Co
lumbia work house
Following the business meeting, Divi-
sion Supt. w. T. Woodson made an ad-
dress on problems of the county school
system, stressing the modern trend to-
ward consolidation and the development
OF high school centers. The teachers
OF Lee district were guests of honor.
