Washington, May 19-One of the maxins every Washingtonian knows is that when you pass law the job has only begun. Whether the law is going to mean anything depends on how it's administered.
 About 8 year ago congress passed amendments to the national bank ruptcy act which provided, among other things, that federal district courts should direct trustees of bankrupt railroads to investigate the causes of bankruptcy and report whether there were grounds for suits by security holders against die rectors or the management.
 The provision was put over de.
 spite opposition of Chairman Jesse Jones of REC.
 To date, although numerous charges have been made against arrangements of roads now in re- celvership, only one federal dis- trict judge has acted - Judge
 Charles B. Davis of St. Louis, in the case of the Cotton Belt road.
 There are several conspicuous in- stances of omission to act, say erie tics citing Judge James H. Wilker- son of Chicago, for instance, who has both the St. Paul and Rock Is. land railroads within his jurisdic- ton.

dent of the International Long
Shoremen's Association, has threat
ened to keep his men from unload
ing French ships unless the ban is

In forecasting early termination
Of the strike here, Ivan Hunter,

HELEN STEPHENS
 ASSURED OF AN OLYMPIC POST
Missouri Girl is New Sen. sation as Female Athlete;
 Tied World Record

St. Louis, Feb. l3--(UP)-The l936 Olympics appeared an almost certain goal today for Helen steph- ems, a Missouri farm giri who in one year has risen to the highest peak of prominence in American women's athletics.
 Miss Stephens last night tied the world record in the 50-meters dash, won the 8-pound put shot to set an American indoor record and then annexed first place in the standing broad jump to take individual scor- ing honors in the National Wo- mems A.A.U. indoor meet for the second consecutive year.
 In winning the 50-meters, she was timed :06.4 tying Q mark set in 1922 by Mary Mejzilokoya at Paris, and tied in 1883 by Stella Walsh ot Cleveland, whom she beat in the event in last years carnival here
 Her victory in the shot-put was won with toss of 4l feet seven and one-half inches, a new record. Tn the broad pump she leaped 8 feet 8 inches. Her performance last night appears to make her selection on the 1886 U. s. women's team Q virtual certainty, as she won the 100 and 200-meter clashes at the outdoor meet in New York in the summer of 1035.
