provided by new forms of trans- portation.
 "Our broad problem is so to CO., ordinate all agencies of transporta- tion as to maintain adequate ser- vice. I am not yet ready to submit to the Congres sa comprehensive plan for permanent legislation.
 II do believe, however. that three emergency steps can and should be taken at this special ses- sion of the Congress.
 First. I recommend the repeal of the recapture provisions of the interstate commerce commission act. The commission has pointed out that existing provisions are un- workable and impractible.
 "Second, railway holding com panies should be placed definitely under the regulation and control of the interstate commerce con- mission in like manner as the rail- ways themselves.
 Third, as a temporary emergen- cy measure, I suggest the creation of federal coordinator of trans portation. who. working with groups of railroads wilr be able to encourage, promote or require ac- tion on the part of carriers, in or der to avoid duplication of service, prevent waste, and encourage fi- nancial congratulations.
 Such coordinator should also, in carrying out his policy. render useful service in maintaining rail- road employment at a fair wage.
 'The experience gained during the balance of this year will great . ly assist the government and the carriers in preparation for a more permanent and a more cOmpre- hensive national transportation policy at the regular session of the Congress in 1894.

STATE EUGENICS LAW WOULD LOSE STATE
 MANY MARRIAGES

Hartford, Conn, May A. (UP)-A test vote in the pub- lie health and safety commit- tee of the general assembly late yesterday showed a 5 to 4 vote for a state eugenics law. There was but bare major. ity of the committee present, however. so final action was not taken.
 The proposed measure would demand that persons intending to marry first submit to an ex- animation by their personal physician, who would report to the state department of health. A certificate from the department of health would have to be presented in order to secure n license. The bill also would increase the time between application and issu- ance of q license from five to ten days.
 Opponents of the measure said 1t would drive marriage business" out of the state.
