NEW YORK, February % R.-
Wall Street railroad circles today saw
the Interstate Commerce Commission
order for passenger fare reductions
as victory for Daniel Willard, veteran
president Of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad.
Alone among the leading railroad
chiefs in the East, Willard has long
advocated q cut in passenger fares
as a stimulus to passenger travel.
Other Eastern systems, such as the
New York Central, the Pennsylvania
and the New Haven, have consist
emily resisted fare cuts.
Railroad analysts said that the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Rail-
road and the Long Island Railroad,
Pennsylvania subsidiary, were likely
to be the most severely affected by
the fare slash, inasmuch as these
roads depend heavily on income from
passenger fares. Rail shares on the
New York Stock Exchange held about
steady following the announcement
of the I. G. G. findings.

. In considering methods of recaptur-
ing the lost processing taxes, Mr..
Roosevelt said the possibilities of a
retroactive tax had been thoroughly
explored. 1t was felt such taxes were
probably constitutional, but worked
many hardships.
The windfall tax, he added. would
probably take the form of q levy on
incomes.
In all instances, Mr.. Roosevelt said,
he was leaving to the determination
of Congress the method of imposing
the levies and suggesting only the
amount needed.
Hearings Start Next Week.
Speaker Byrns said at his press con-
ference the Ways and Means Commit
tee would start hearings on taxes next
week, that they should require no
more than fortnight, and that the
tax program should not delay adjourn
ment of Congress.
THE House Ways and Means Com
mittee undoubtedly will write the tax

thing to do would be to confer with

By the Associated Press.
NANKING, February 28.-China's
military political leaders, meeting in
an emergency session, advocated today
redoubled preparations for national
defense in the face of threatening
renewal of japanese military pressure.
The emergency conference was sum-
moned by Generalissimo Chang Kai-
Shek. virtual dictator of the Central
Chinese Nationalist government. it
was learned. as a result of the Toxic
military uprising which sent ripple
of alarm through high government
quarters.
While few of the conferees were re-
ported to view the present time as
logical moment to defy any Japanese
aggression in Continental Asia, the
majority favored . continuation Of
China's policy of patient inaction.
simultaneously, they urged bol-
stering of the Chinese military ma
chine and stimulation of the public
morale.
Government officials were pessimistic
over the outlook for a successful con-
clusion to impending Sino-Japanese
conversations here, in view Of the
startling Japanese developments.

DIRECTORS SUED
Receiver Moran Seeks ST.

to Make Losses Good.

Suit was filed in District Supreme
Court today to hold the directors Of
the defunct Continental Trust Co.
personally liable for a loss of more
than s1,0o0,000. said to have been
occasioned by their negligence.
The receiver, John F.. Moran, who
brought the action, informed the court
that the company's assets were in
sufficient to pay creditors. making it
essential to recover all losses sustained.
s1,093.541 Sought.
The total Moran sought to obtain
from the directors was $1,093. salts,
plus interest. This was made up of
three items involving purchases Of
Continental stock and stock in the
closed Commercial National Bank.
The latter institution took over the
assets and liabilities of the trust COM
pany several years before the vide
spread bank closings in 1888.
Stating that the stock Of both the
Commercial and the Continental now
are worthless, Moran contended,
through his attorneys, Brice Clagett
and Charles E. Wainwright, that the
directors should have known that the
securities were not good investments.
Banking Law Violation.
He argued further that purchase of
Commercial stock by the Continental
was in violation of the banking laws
and bevond the aIIthoritv of the
board.
On December IA, 1929, the court
was told, the directors authorized the
purchase of between 5000 and $500
shares Of capital stock of the Com
mercial at price not to exceed $3.50

PITTSBURGH. February 28.-Rising
steadily. the ice-jammed Allegheny
River sent the highest flood level in
nine years into Pittsburgh today after
inundating parts of many communities
along its banks for more than 100
miles.
Water spread over the riverfront
streets in the citys downtown district,
flooding cellars of homes and indus
trial plants.
Houseboat iwellers abandoned their
homes as 10-mile ice gorge moved
slowly along the cres. Of the flood.
Residents Of river colonies clustered
about bonf1res, their belongings piled
on the banks as they waited for the
waters to recede.
Streets in low sections of the
suburbs Of Oakmont, Verona and
Harvarsville were under water.
Elsewhere In Western Pennsylvania
the smaller streams were falling, and
thousands of lowland inhabitants,
began clearing their homes. -Four
deaths have been attributed to the
foods.
