WILLARD HOPEFUL
F0RU.S. RAILROADS
Business Gain of 10 or Is
Per Cent Only Needed,
He Declares.

BY the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, March 25.-Daniel Will
lard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio,
said today that an increase of from 10
to Is per cent in their business would
make everything "an right" for the
railroads again.
The actions instituted by President
Roosevelt, he added, should bring sub
stantial improvement" within two or
three months, with the recent bank
holiday marking the bottom of the de-
preston.
Freight rates ultimately must go
down, he agreed, but he said to reduce
them now would ruin the roads still
carrying 10 per cent of the freight of
the country.
He had nothing to say about any pos
sibility that the Government might
operate the roads.
I'm not despondent or discouraged
about the railroads. he said, as he
came here to inspect Cincinnati's new
the railroads could get 10 or Is per cent
more business they'd be all right Only
the stockholders are suffering now
But as conditions are, he said. the
roads are handling only half of the
business they are equipped to handle
Before 1928 every one was asking
the railroads to provide more equip
ment. There was not TOO much then.
There is, however, too much of every
thing now, and if this country was
going to continue on SO per cent basis
we would undoubtedly have to scrap
some Of our railroads. I don't believe,
though, that this country is going to
stay on so per cent basis"

n YCNE other than President RooSe-
nj welt himself yesterday stood as
" an appreciative and grand
1 \ fatherly audience as little
'Sistie" Dali sat at the head
of gala White House table circled by
tiny children in party caps and cut the
first piece of her sixth birthday cake.
"Sistie's" mother, Mrs. Anna Dali the
Presidents daughter, Of course lent a
helping hand, but the youngster did
most of the initial cake cutting for
herself.
Look at that!" said the President
as he viewed the scene
And Chief Usher Irwin Hoover, who
has been in the White House more than
40 years, replied that he couldn't re-
member ever having seen just such a
children's party around that table in
the private dining room.
The angel food cake itself proclaimed
in white icing against a pink frosting
background the words Happy Birthday
Sistie"
AS time for the refreshments arrived,
"SiSties" mother gave the signal, "one-
-three-go," and the children closest
to the table head helped the White
pink candles.
Il started them off with the crackers!"
laughed the President in recounting the
party. The crackers, it might be added,
were souvenirs that made a popping
noise and then turned into party caps.
Dainty and pretty was "Sistie," her
long blond hair caught at the side by
a golden hair clasp. She wore light
blue silk frock with laced-edged white
collar and little puffed sleeves.
"Sistie" didn't say very much, just
Yes" when grown-ups asked her if
she were having fun, but she was quite
the queen OF the occasion, but with a
spontaneous laugh and friendly little
smile
''Sistie" handed each guest toy with
which to play on the slick parquetry
floor of the huge east room. Most of
the TOYS were on wheels-rabbits,
horses with nodding heads, clown dolls,
and many other devices. and the chill
dren hoped, skipped and slid to their
hearts content with the toys rolling
after
Several of the children were so
young as to be still crawling. and when
they we're placed in the frcnt row of
a birthday party picture surrounding
their hostess, they crawled off in all
directions over the slippery floor and
had to be brought back by their
mothers.
"Sistie's" little brother. Curtis Roose-
welt Dali, age 212. in little blue trous-
ers and white waist was delighted with
his gift of a large duck whose back
opened up to reveal spade for digging
in the new sand pile.
His sister, of course, received gifts
from all the guests, but she didn't open
them until the party was almost over.
The playtime in the east room was
followed by child comedy motion pic
ture in the second floor hall, and then
came the real party around the table.
Among the grown-ups present were
Sistie's father. Curtis Dali, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Frederic A. Delano, uncle and aunt
of the President.
The children present were John Hinck-
ley, 1-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. John

annually by elimination of unnecessary
and duplicate passenger and freight
service" Elimination of unnecessary
rail mileage was another suggestion.
Itoree also recommended reduction OF
the stock of obsolete locomotives, cars,
shop machinery and tools. He sug--
eested the improvement of grades and
alignment, heavier rail and ballast. re-
duced distances, improvement OF termi-
nal facilities and practices.
Another 81 100000 a year, conserv-

RAILROADS FACING
/ 'AUT0CRAT|C' CUTS
Federal Dictatorship Would
, Hold Corporate Mergers
in Abeyance.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 25.-The ap-
pointment of 'co-ordinator" for the
railroads-now believed in Wall Street
to be the main item in the Roosevelt
menu for resuscitation of the iron
horse-does not mean that the coun-
trys carriers will be Immediately con-
solidated in wholesale manner, if the
views of local transportation quarters
are any guide to the future course OF
events
A spirit of benevolent autocracy
would characterize the attitude of the
co-ordinator toward his job, it is eX-
planned by those who profess to know
the purpose of this particular plank OF
the administration railroad platform.
Would Cut Down Waste.
Buttressed by enabling legislation,
the co-ordinator would apply the prun-
ing knife swiftly and impartially in an
attempt to emllminate the present
waste in operating methods which ad-
mittedly hold back the progress of the
steam carriers. Corporate mergers
could come later, it is explained.
Savings which may possibly reach
$500,000,000 annually are said to be
possible by a more direct routing of
1ISlSIll, py tlle JOillt uSt VI tliIilLi1i
facilities, through the pooling Of equip
ment, and the elimination of unproflt-
able lines, to mention only few items
on the rail efficiency calendar.
While the subject of labor costs has
been discussed in most guarded terms,
executives here contend that any broad
conservation program for the railroads
Is out of the question unless the cost OF
rail labor is substantially liquldated.
Dictator Suggested.
The only way to avert the appoint
ment of some sort of Federal co-ordl-
mating machinery, it is explained here
Is for the railroads themselves to ap-
point a dictator. That the carriers
have seen the handwriting on the wall
Is regarded as evident from their IN
tense study of the problem through the
appointment of special committee
which has been meeting regularly with
representatives of the security owners
and advisers of the President.
The Presidents feeling in the matter
was made evident in his address at
salt Lake City last September, when he
said bluntly that the actual railway
operators are not the owners OF the
railroads.
Continuing his analysis. he added
that the position of the carriers now
depends, as it ought to depend, on their
being able to do their job we'll. We are
entitled to demand. and think they
would be the first to concede, that they
give a Management which is sound, eco
nornical and skillful.'

Interstate Commerce Commission, Sec
retary of Commerce Roper and 9TH
ers. This group has been holding
hearings all week, and its conclusions
are expected to have great deal to do
with the Presidents final recommended
tons.
The legislation held in abeyance by
Representative Rayburn is twofold: One
bill calls for Federal regulation of rail-
road holding companies; the other
would repeal the recapture clause OF the
interstate commerce act that attempts
q redivision of excess profits and in Is
years trial has hardly been put INTO
operation.
The President is in hearty accord
with both objectives. The recapture
clause, put through by the elder Sen
ator La Toilette compelled the rail-
roads, as interpreted by the I. G. C.. to
hand to the Government one-hsf OF all
the profits above per cent on actual
investment. A few paid, most protested,
and the Government never has COM
pleted the job of valuing the lines. The
result has been that potential deot to
the Government of S375,000,000 hangs
over the carriers, serious handlcap 10

Richberg told newspaper men after
conferring with the President that he
was strongly opposed to any reorgani-
ntion which would add to unemploy-
ment. He did not name the Prince

cussing any specific plan now, but that
program depends heavily for savings on

One Pledge Carried Out.
One of President Rooseveit's cam
paign pledges on railroads was carried
out in the last Congress through en-
Actment of the new bankruptcy law,
under which railroads may reorganize
without going through costly receiver
ships.
Several large carriers are in serious
financial difficulties, having pledged
virtually all assets not mortgaged to
