which some experts estimate at 30 per cent, some higher.
 Duplicate Services.
 Restriction, indeed, extend far beyond the mandate for artificlal competition. Railroad financing, for instance, is gruesomely shack led Extreme suspicion-based, no doubt, on accurate historical prec- edent-has forced it into the rigid control of the I. c. c. That means that railroad financing is now so inflexible as to be just about in capable of facing modern economic needs. No such thing as quick ad- justment in time of stress seems possible since the commission has been noted for it's sloWness.
 Freight rates-the Fundamental cash return for which railroads work-are fixed by law not on cost of service plus reasonable profit, but on an abstruse calculation based on the value of their prop arty. Rrailroads are compelled, be- ing "common carriers under the law, to maintain uneconomic ser vices and to transport goods, if necessary, at loss.
 Since 1920, railroads have been prohibited from keeping profits above 3-4 per cent. Any surplus must be returned to the govern ment for distribution among the unprofitable lines, the law asserts. This "recapture clause" hasn't worked well. Out of some $360,- 00O,000 which the government felt is should have received in this way up to 1931. the railroads had paid in less than $11,000,o00 by the end of 1881.

Bumped by Autos

At the same time, railroad men argue, with some justice, the "re- capture clause" not only dampens enthusiasim for improvement of service, but also does the lines a great wrong by preventing them from storing up surplus in good times against bad.
 With all these endorsements the railroads also face today the 1.-the, strenuous comparatively un- supervised, rivalry of the automo- bile. Trucks move from factory or field direct to buyer. Truck survice expands along nationwide webs. Busses carry millions. Private cars supplant passenger rail facilities. Railroad passenger traffic in subur- pia has dropped 40 per cent since 1920.
 All this, rail men say, has been actively stimulated by the govern ment, through development of na- tional highways and by neglect to tax road-users approximately to their profits.
 The government, too, has spent many millions in developing water ways. It runs a fleet of Mississippi barges in direct competition-and at a loss, according to railroad men. The Panama canal has slash ed the railroads rans-continental freight service.
 Direct government subsidy to air lines has played havoc with passenger traffic as well as light freight.
 But all these miseries would be as nothing, defenders of the rails assert, without the single, great, overwhelming fact of the depres- tion. Stimulus to industry of a mere 10 to 20 per cent would selve their problems, railmen say.
 NEXT: Plans for helping the railroads.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-04-26

Untermyer in a speech last Febru- ary to accuse the late Edward H. Hartman of being "a stock broker, speculator and operator of rail- roads," who died worth $250,000,- 900 "and never built a mile of road"
 Cause and Effect
 "Nobody knows how many hun dreds of millions of graft, thievery and corruption are included in the present capital structure of the railroads" said MT Untermyer, and went on to instance curious meth ods of financing by which, as an example, one road leading into New York had q capitalization of $182,240 mile, and another road only $42,000 a mile.
 But the complete license of pio- neer times has been followed by an era of almost equally inordinate curbing. Railroad men feel it amounts to persecution. No other national industry has been so har- ried by congress. they say.
 One result is that railroads have been not only encouraged but forced into uneconomic rivalry for the sake of preserving the princi- pie of competition.
 There are four railroads running between Chicago and St Louis. There is similar duplication else- where. Mergers having been for years unholy and repulsive in the eyes of the interstate commerce commission, there are today 697 separate rail companies in the United States, with approximately 25O,000 miles of track-and a. du- plication of trackage and service

LEAGUE MAKES PLANS TO BREAK
 QUININE TRUST
Monopoly Holds Down Production Below Mini=
 mum Needed

Geneva-The League of Nations Health Section is experimenting with a cheap substitute known as "totaquina," with which it hopes to be able to break a world qui- nine monopoly.
 So tightly does a small group of manufacturers control quinine production that the league reports world consumption is far below the minimum necessary"
 Two million persons die an- nually from malaria. The number could be reduced considerably if sufficient quinine was available, a league report says. In four years alone, 1,1S4,984 deaths were rec orded from malaria in three h. dian provinces; S94,380 Indains die every year from the disease. It is in the Dutch East Indies that the supply of cinchona bark, from which quinine is extracted, is controlled by the manufacture CTS group.
 Health experts from dozen countries have testified to the ne- cessity for an International Qui- nine Conference as soon as pos sible, to deal with the quinine shortage.
 They recognize that as the malaria results in a far greater loss of life than the biggest battles in history, 1t is necessary to put ''totaquina" on the market in large quantities.
 The Enquiry recommends that chemists in malarial areas should be obliged to sell government quinine or sell commercial quinine at 8 reasonable price.
 The American retailer is blamed for "the excessive price of quinine in the United States where the consumer has to pay s2 to $25O per ounce, or $70 to $S0 per kilo- gramme."

Editors Note: This Is the second of three stories on the nations railroad problem and what Hes be- hind t.
BY NORRIS GILBERT NEA Service Writer

Washington-Bloate salaries to railroad executives must go. That's the Rooseveltian prescription.
 It doesn't seem right to the apos- ties of the new deal-to pay some rnil executives $1O0,000 a year for the privilege of running the lines at loss.
 Senator C. c. Dill says $25,00O is enough for any rail executive. He is chairman of the senate inter state commerce committee, and he embodied this figure in bill de- lining under what conditions the reconstruction finance corporation should lend money to the carriers
 But more important-and worse news to involve--is the suggested program for cutting railroad fixed charges. Capital stock is due to be "re-organized." possibly through conversion to lower interest rates or otherwise adjusted to be less or a burden than it has been.
 Tt is ridiculous to suppose that the reconstruction finance corpor- ation can go on indefinitely making loans to railroads to enable them to pay off 100 cents on the dollar on their debt obligations" is the EEaNe WdTDIuS Ol Jtootc i'' oO'-'' s.strong man" of the R.

 Which recalls the pessimistlc words of one industrial prophet: "Railroads will pay dividends again. he said. "but not to the same people,"
 The Causes
 Defation, however. is not the complete answer to the railroads cry for help. There must also be affirmative steps, aimed at stimula- ton. Railroad men stoutly affirm that the lines can help themselves if certain present governmental re- struc,ions are removed-as is now planned.
 Meanwhile, what is the cause of the disease? Why this anen1ia? The doctors, of course, disagree.
 But if you take all their diag- noses and put them togther you will get and appalling list of infec- tions, like this:
 Skullduggery by graspins iinan- ciers.
 yaulting, ambition and over-ex- pansion.
 Stupid extravaganza, including monstrous salaries to high execu- tives.
 Bad management.
 Artificial. governmentalsti stimula- ted competition.
 Unbearable government restric- tions.
 Rivalry of new means of trans portation.
 And, of course-the depression.
 Unhappily, 1t seems as if all these brutal charges are all too true. The railroads were undoubt- edly victims, in the bad old days of excessive unregulation, so that it was not surprising for Samuel

BERLIN, Aug. 20 G.N.SO.-
Fearing public comment at this
time would harm their cause,
leading monarchists today main
tained silence regarding reports
that an agreement had been
reached whereby President Paul
Won Hindenburg would be sue
ceeded, upon his death, by a
Hohenzollern prince as regent.
The reports, considered reliable.
have it that Chancellor Adolf Hit
ler has agreed to remain in his
present position, but that he would
turn over the position as head of
the Reich to a member Of the
family of former Kaiser Will
helm II.
The plan is supposed to be con-
tained in new will drawn up by
the 86-year- old Hindenburg last
week. He is reported to have dis
cuSSed his succession with leading
members OF the government, all
of whom are reported willing to
agree to the solution.
According to the plan. the Ger
man people" would be advised in
the will of the president to elect
a Hohenzollern prince as regent
of the nation. Since Hindenburg
has the backing of virtually the
entire nation, such plan prob
ably would be carried out as he

GERMANY HALLS
PACT BREACH

BERLIN, Aug. 90. G.N.S). .
Germany hailed with unconcealed
delight today the news that Aus
tria, with the consent of France,
England and Italy, intends to or
ganize a militia as a first move
toward reintroduction of compuls-
ory military service, banned by
the st. German Peace Treaty.
This first breach, with the ap-
proval of the Allies, of the mill
tary clauses of any of the peace
pacts imposed on the defeated
Central Powers at the close of the
World War offers an entering
wedge for Germany to reassert
her claims to increase her arma-
ments.
Word of the Austrian plans was
contained in a speech delivered
last night by Karl Vaugoin, Aust
rian Minister of War. Though
the three Western powers have
approved strengthening of the
Austrian military establishment to
enable Chancellor Dollfuss to com,
bat what he processes to believe
are threatening moves by German
Nazis, the Berlin nationalist press
nevertheless is extremely pleased.

.HUEY LONG FOE
APPOINTMENT
BARR|STER
But Hero Goes Unnamed, Be-
cause He Denies He Was
Present at Battle

NEW YORK, Aug. 90 GNSD
The unknown soldier who altered
the profile of Senator Huey Long,
Louisiana kingfish, at the battle
of the Sands Point Bath Club on
Saturday night was a prominent
42-year-old lawyer.
This was the gossip along the
social grapevine today following
the historic clash in which Huey
met a bloody waterloo.
The lawyer was backward about
accepting the honor.
Denies He Was There
Interviewed on the telephone
by International News Service, he
insisted he wasn't at the club on
Saturday night but was there the
next day. He added:
"But would have been glad
to have struck the Senator in
the eye, il his behavior was as
reported"
Whoever he was, the gentleman
who Socked the kingfiSh, to use
this patois of Louisiana, was de-
scribed by witnesses of the conflict
as an athletic type, big and good
natured.
Members Of the club also re-
called that Huey had been the
life of the party, before his en-,
thusiaSm was eXtinguished with a
punch.
OF course, the Senator, nursing
bruises and a cash over his eye
in Milwaukee, offered his own
version.
1t was a mob of gangsters-at
least three or four-who waylaid
him in the washroom when he had
his back turned. They drew a
knife on him he said. and only his
natural agility permitted him to
escape the ambuscade.
Gangster Story Denied
Members of the Sands Point
Bath Club, who always talk in
modulated tones of feverish cpl
sodes, Indignantly denied any
gangesters were present. They
pointed out that it was a char
ity affair, benefit pageant for
the Judson Health Center, and
that gangsters never did anything
for charity.
Among those present, in addi-
ton to Huey, were Edward P,
Mulrooney, head Of the New York
State beer control commission
and former New York police COM
missioner; and Gene Buck, presi-
dent of the American Society of
Authors, composers and publish
ers. Both are confirmed teeto-
talers.
