RAILROAD SHARES
 SHOULD DE LOWERED

WASHINGTON, Sept, IT. - Net railway operating income of the Class 1 railways in the United States amounted, in the first six months of 1882, to a total of 112- 00O,OOO.
 This figure represented a reduc- tlon of more than 53 per cent be- low the corresponding months of last year.
 Even more important, however as indicative of the seriousness of the present railway situation, is the fact that this net railway operat- Ing income earned in the first of thls year is sufficient to pay less than half of the interest due upon railway bonds outstanding, and is less than one-third of the amount required to pay the total railway fixed charges which have accrued in this period.

WAR DEBT FEAR
No Idea of Reputation in
Budget Omission.
BY HENRY T. RUSSELL
nnited Press STAFF Corresnondrnt

LONDON, April 21.-Great Brit
ain will not repudiate her war debts
to the United States, sources close
to the government told the United
Press today, despite apparent agree
ment Of all parties that she should
wipe the war debt and reparations
slate clean as the only solution Of
the world crisis.
The agreement of British political
parties on this issue became appar-
ent during Wednesdays eight-hour
debate on the budget in the house
of commons.
Laborites, Conservatives and Lib
erals urged the government to take
a courageous lead" to cancel debts
and reparations.
Chancellor of the Exchequer
Neville Chamberlain did not men,
ton war debts in a radio address
explaining the budget. He did pay
tribute to the grit of the British
people and their willingness to bear
their heavy tax burden.
Well-informed, Semi-official quar-
tiers told the United Press that the
failure of the chancellor to include
provisions for debt payments and
separations receipts in the budget
simply was due to the fact that
Britain'S next payments to the
United States are entirely covered
by European nations payments to
Britain.

Around Grounds.

HOPEWELL, N. j.. April Ill
Search for Charles Augustus Lind
bergh Jr. was confined today to
routine police investigation, with
private negotiators reported mac
tive.
Indications of overlapping on
telephone lines leading to the Sour
land mountain estate of Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh led today to
New Jersey state police establish
ing a patrol. Eavesdroppers find it
easy to listen in. as the wires are
laid on the ground.
Colonel H. Norman Schwarzkopf,
state police head, Wednesday night
was reported to have ordered two
Sub-machine guns sent to the New
ark airport. This Immediately gave
rise to rumorS that the arms were
to be used in the kidnapping case,
to prevent hijacking.
Schwartzkopf later issued a state
ment saying the report had no con-
nection with the Lindbergh kidnap-
ing.
Another report concerned a mys-
FERROUS automobile which watchers
observed entering the estate after
nightfall. Efforts to check the cars
New York license number gave rise
to the rumor that it belonged to
OWney Madden, racketeer.
John F. Condor, "Jafsie," who
paid $4,000 ransom to the supposed
kidnapers, gave no indication by
his actions that he was making
progress in his private negotiations
to return the baby.
