RAILS MERGER
LOOMS IN PLAN
Of ROOSEVELT
President to Send Proposal
to Congress Next Week
as Part of "NeW Deal"

A recasting of the American
railroad set-up in a manner de-
signed to protect bondholders and
reestablish earning capacity is the
next hand to be dealt in President
Roosevelt's new deal"
BY the end Of next week he is
expected to make recommends
tions to Congress radically chang
ing the present system OF railroad
operation.
Two different groups have been
working on a reform program IN
conjunction with Secretary OF
Commerce Daniel c. Roper. Their
viewpoints differ fundamentally
but both are suggesting complete
reorganization.
Jumping Revenues
It was considered probable that
Mr.. Roosevelt would ask Con-
gress for compulsory grouping OF
all the carriers into seven big
systems. These in turn would be
leased to holding corporations
with authority to send freight by
the cheapest and most direct
route.
Revenues would be Jumped and
apportioned on percentage basis
to the member roads OF each
consolidation.
The alternative plan being
urged ON President Roosevelt is
far more revolutionary. 1t con-
templates Government guarantee
of railroad bonds so as to relieve
insurance companies and savings
banks now loaded up with such
securities.
Public Operation
The bonds would be left with
their present holders under a
reduced guarantee of return and
the roads would be publicly
operated by a board of 10 di-
rectors until such time as con-
ditions improve.
Mr.. Roosevelt was understood
to lean toward the first plan,
largely because he is opposed to
Federal guarantee of any private
security.
The seven-system consolidation
proposal would involve no cash
outlay by the Treasury and would
effect by law the merging of
strong and weak roads covering
the same territory.
Practical railroad men have ar
gued for years the latter is nee
esSary if the carriers are to meet
successfully the new types of COM
petition
Boston Man COnSuItant
Frederic A. Prince, Boston finan-
cier, has been working out the
consolidation plan for weeks. He
first was called into conference by
Mr.. Roosevelt last January at
Warm Springs, Ca, and since has
had numerous conferences with
the Executive.
He has studied out the prob
lem with the assistance of a group
of railroad executives. and Robert
Jackson, secretary of the Demo
cratic National Committee, is his
general counsel.
The faction supporting govern
ment operation and guarantee also
includes a group of eminent rail
way executives. A. A. Berle, for

NEW YORK, March Is G.N.SD
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, max
ing one of her brief visits to
New York, was scheduled to open
the international Flower Show in
st. Louis today by pressing but
ton here.
Mrs. Roosevelt planned to leave
Immediately for the Grand Gen.
tral terminal to meet her two
younger sons, Franklin and John,
who are arriving from the Gro
ton School for the Easter holi-
day.
Attends Dinner
Last night, Mrs. Roosevelt at
tended the testimonial banquet
in honor of Miss Frances Perkins,
former New York State industrial
commissioner and now the Secre-
tary of Labor in the Roosevelt
Cabinet.
Fifteen hundred men and
women prominent in politics,
social welfare work, and organ
lied labor were present. Mrs.
Roosevelt bore to the audience a
message of praise from the Presi-
dent. She said Miss Perkins had
been selected as the first woman
to occupy Cabinet post, not be-
cause the women of the country
were demanding a place for one
Of their sex, but because:
"She is better fitted for the
post chosen for her than any
other person with whom the
President was acquainted at a
time when persons holding pub
lie office are required to hold
the highest qualifications"
Farley, Lauds Choice
Among those present was Post,
master James A. Farley. He de-
clared the appointment of Miss
Perkins was the best President
Roosevelt could have made.
Mrs. Roosevelt will leave late
today for Hyde Park to spend
the weekend at her cottage. She
will return to New York Monday
night.
Weather permitting, she plans
to fly back to Washington on
Wednesday.

common-the horses. For when
Franklin was given his first
pony it was also with the un-

But in a realm where little boys
are often entirely at home-to
the extent, indeed, of being a

he did, hanging his head and

natured French cook, who tried
to coax him out with little
broken English endearments.
He would not speak a word
though, and always seemed re-
lieved when he left that strange
and, for some reason, aWe-in-
spring territory.
Even a proffered cookie jar,
often the "open sesame" to a
child's heart, did not succeed in
overcoming his timidity among
people. He was never q boy
who could be bribed into good
behavior by the promise OF
candy or cake. And even if he
had been, am afraid he would
have found very little encour-

his meals. He had no great

Passes in One State
The model code, submitted to
all States last January with the
approval of the American Bar
Association and the American
Medical Association, it is agreed
by experts, will do more than
anything else to smash the
dope menace.
Yet, only one State, Nevada,
has adopted the law. Nevada
won this honor largely through
the unceasing efforts of Judge
A. j. Maestretti, a member OF
the legislature.
On January 10, Harry ]. An

One Sure Way to
End Coughs and Colds

Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them now
with Creomulsion, an emulsihed creosote
that is pleasant to take. Crcomulsion is
new medical discovery with two-fold &C.
ton; it soothes and heals the inhamed
membranes and inhibits germ growth.
OF all known drugs, creosote is recog-
nized by high medical authorities as one
of the greatest healing agencies for per.
sistent coughs and colds and other forms
OF throat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing ele-
ments which soothe and heal the infected
membranes and stop the irritation and in.
fammation, while the creosote goes on to
the stomach, is absorbed into the blood,
attacks the seat of the trouble and checks
the growth of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory
in the treatment of persistent coughs and
colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and
other forms of respiratory diseases, and
is excellent for building up the system
after colds or flu. Money refunded if any

Believe IL or not, many of us are

so we don't send people to the hos

aim at things and hit wide of the

same as when an experienced hunt

shooting too fast and too furiously
without thinking ahead.
That hunter had good lesson all

lesson would be valuable TO those
who use Ideas and words to shoot
