NEWY0RKCENTRA[
PAYS R. F. c. LOAN
= Obligation Was Not Due Un-
til 1941-0ther Railroads
Report Higher Income.
~ the Associated Press.

0S tne hseOCldteu EIcsS.
Rejecting better times for the rail-
roads, the New York Central Railroad
Co. has paid off all its obligations
to the Reconstruction Finance Corp,
long before they were due, and other
major carriers have reported increased
operating income.
The New York Central payment,
made without borrowing elsewhere,
evoked the comment from Chairman
Jesse H. Jones of the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. that the railroad sit
uation as whole was quite prom
sing"
He added at a press conference
yesterday. however. that the railroad
reorganization situation was ter
rible.'
Something is wrong with a law
that is unable to complete rail-
road reorganization in an ordinary
lifetime" Jones said. adding that
section II of the bankruptcy act
should be rewritten to contain author
ity to force" reorganizations.
Not Due Until I941.
The obligations paid by the New
York Central aggregated $l6858,950
and included $6,969,0O0 of collateral
notes purchased by the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. from the Public Works
Administration.
The direct loan from the R. F. C.
was not due until July /, 1941, while
the notes taken over from P. w. A.
matured serially, from June /, next,
TO June l. 1914.
Mr.. Harold Vanderbilt came to
Washington last week and made the
arrangement. Jones announced. THE
road was able to make the payment
without borrowing money elsewhere,
and still has ample working balances,
with no bank debts or other maturities
over the next few years that cannot
be easily met"
The New York carrier was the
twenty-fifth to pay its Indebtedness
to the corporation in full.
Report Increased Income.
Before the New York Central action
was disclosed, the Association Of
American Railroads reported net op-
Grating income of $88,477,458 for 130
class l carriers in October, compared
10 s74,043,657 in the same month last
year
Jones told reporters his lending
agency has been repaid a total Of
$310,176.S99 by carriers, but still has
outstanding s4l2,026.89O to S. roads,
including sl63.811 .6s6 lent 23 roads
in receivership. The security gov
erning the latter lin most cases" Is
good for the loan, he added.
He said his agency now had COM
mitments to railroads aggregating
$39,223.250 to be spent for refunding
and for new equipment.
Jones would not discuss extension

morning. Afterwards, when the sun came
out, we grew cheerful again.
Il won't try to detail each day as it passed
partly because can't be sure how many
days did pass. / think there was an exact
moment when we both felt that our number
was up though whether this came on the
third or the fifth or the seventh day l can't
be sure. We had come to the end of our food,
we were chilled and utterly wearied, and
to make things worse - the comparatively
fine weather broke down and snowstorms

late and cfaffed each other and stared down
at the camp below - just few Uttered roofs
amongst the pine forests.
"Of course by that time the hue and cry
must surely have been raised, but it didn't
worry us much. You can't chase two men over
high Alps in midwinter, and in practice you
don't consider it - because you don't believe
the two men would ever be such fools. We
were though, and we were quite happy about
it. don't believe I've ever had feeling of
such ecstasy as that morning as we climbed
higher and higher up the snow slopes
THE day was glorious, and we lay out in
the sun during the afternoon and slept, know
ing that it would be bitterly cold at night,
and that we would have to keep moving all
the time. We climbed an icy ridge and de-
scended the other side. There was no trace
after that of any inhabited world - the
mountains enclosed us on every hand. Nanny
led the way, and at nightfall the moon rose,
so that we went on without halt.
"Of course we might have known that it
wouldn't all be as easy as that. The next
day there was no sunshine at all and a freezing
wind blew! We were utterly exhausted and
slept for odd minutes in any sheltered place
we could find, until Our stiffened limbs
wakened-us. That night we began to realize,
though neither of us put it into words, the
awful chance we were taking. We ate our
food, primed ourselves with brandy, smoked
our pipes, and drew what consolation we
could from the map. 1t was good map, and
Nanny knew exactly the place he was making
for. Nevertheless, our spirits sank lower, and
lowest of all during the early hours of the

next thing / recollect is clearing sky and
valley vista opening at our feet, and far
down, almost as if we could have jumped on
skis to it, cluster of lights.
There was no discussion about what we
should dove had planned it so many
times, comforting ourselves with the thought
that as soon as we came to house we'd wait
till the occupants had gone to bed, break in,
and take some food. So with this new and
exciting hope we staggered down the slope,
running when we came to the level of the
pinewoods, and checking our pace by wild

Ordinarily, of course Nanny and l
wouldn't have had much in common. Even at
the prison camp he'd been with us at least
a month before exchanged more than few
words with him. He had his own friends -
chaps interested in art and books and all
that. Then one day he came up to me and
said: is it true you nearly got away once?

how I'd been within a mile OF the Dutch
frontier when things went wrong, all because

him. My Germans pretty good he said.
How would you like to have another try

we'll I'd like it, and he knew knew it, too.
$50 we fixed it right away and began to
make plans. Nanny thought we ought to try
an escape in mid-winter. because of the long
nights and then, too he thought we might
try to get across the mountains instead of
keeping to lowland routes - the idea, you
see. being to do just what nobody would ex-
pect.
do you know the Bavarian Alps1 didn't,
and neither did Nanny, but we had map,
and we had both had plenty of pre-War
climbing experience in Switzerland. 1t was
just matter of nerve, endurance, food supply,
and luck with the weather. Well, we thought
we had the first two. and we prayed for the
others. We began to hide food till we had
store; then we collected warm clothing, and
white coats made of bed linen so that we
shouldn't be spotted against snow back
ground.
Then we had to make the actual escape.
We were six thousand feet above the camp

HOAX GIRL

BALTIMORE, July 2S.-Pub-
licity she gained through what
washington termed as her hoax"
story Of being branded by Lu-
ciano gangsters in the National
Capital last week today resulted
in an indictment being returned
by grand jury here charging
Margaret Louise Bell, 21-year-old
night club entertainer, with lar
ceny of $7O0.
The indictment was returned
after Philip Davis, a World War
veteran released from Mt. Also
Hospital in Washington yester-
day, came here to testify that
it was the Bell girl who on June
20 stole 500 from him in room
in a local apartment. He identi-
fled her in Washington after her
picture appeared in newspapers
there in connection with her
branding story.
The girl, who still is in Jail in
Washington awaiting Baltimore
police action, broke into print a
week ago last Monday after police
were called to her apartment and
found her on the floor, bound and
bleeding from wounds she said
were inflicted by an attacker who
had carved initials into her flesh
and opened the gas jets in her
apartment, leaving her to die.

judging from the size Of that
flame which has broken out i'm
Spain between the Fascists and

experience with bull rings,
wouldn't you think those Span
iards should know better than
be fooled by the waving of q

The changes from radical to

vice versa in Europe certainly
seem to come with the regular
ity of a big parade :. You know,

So far, it has been estimated
that, in the past few days, more
than $4,000 people have been
killed in the street fighting. =.
Evidently, battling in the streets
over there is almost as danger
Gus as jay-waIking is on this
