 The program in general recom- mends outright Federal expenditures over ten-year period of one hun- dred million dollars to two hundred million dollars year for improve ment of right-of-way and structure to point at least of minimum mili- tary defense requirements.
 This, they argued, would leave railroads in a position-except those in or approaching financial distress ito embark on parallel ten-year equipment rehabilitation program involving nationally about 100 00o0 new freight cars and 1000 new loco motives a year, with other phases similarly geared.
 These two items would involve about one hundred fifty million dol lars year expenditures for locomo- tives and about two hundred twenty million dollars year for freight cars.

PRO BA5kETBALL
 REVIVAL E NOW
 SEEN BY HOLMAN
Famed Ace Believes Sport Will Come BaCk-Money
 Is Needed for Start
By WHITNEY MARTIN

NEW YORK, Feb. Mat Hol- man, the Babe Ruth of pro basket ball, visions the return of the play for-play court game to the popular ity it enjoyed before the players were caged as we'll as the ball.
 Holman, now coach at the City College of New York. is a survivor of those victorious battles for which the playing floor was surrounded by a wire cage, the ball was dropped in and everything went but the customers, who were treated to a modified version of a Roman holi- day.
 He planes lack of organization and responsible backing for the de- cline of the program until it bub- bles up now only in scattered minor leagues.
 T believe that with financial back ing and proper organization pro basketball could be established as firmly as pro football or hockey" Holman declares. Lack of organiza- tion ruined it before. The game gradually slipped until the teams were playing one-night stands in dance halls, and the wire cage idea was just about the last straw. It brutalized the game.
 Played with Celtics Holman was the most famed mem- Der of the famed Celtics, a team virtually unbeatable in its heyday. He recalled the Celtics would play as many as Ills games in a season, and lose perhaps seven or eight. They never lost series.
 He pointed out the main features of the pro game at that time as:
 l. No zone defense. Strictly man. to-man.
 ?. No set plays.
 3. Emphasis on short passing.
 4. Everything done on the run.
 5. The element of timing
 Tt was a more spontaneous game, allowing for initiative, and we were everlastingly on the move" Hol- man explains. When we took a pass we didn't hesitate we took 1t on the run and got rid of it in one notion
 "Strangler Lewis Idea"
 Holman, one of the few nationally known players who gained game without attending college, shrewdly capitalized on unpopularity. A mar vel as player, he baited the fans, realizing that crowd will come as readily to boo as it will to cheer.
 He views the field as wide open for good pro league which would draw the cream of the college crop, the same as pro football now gets the outstanding collegians. With interest in basketball more wide spread than it is in football, hockey, or even baseball, he sees no reason for failure if the sport is properly organized and backed.
 Which means the way is open to court popularity. but it will take

of the state will do well to guard
against being tricked into a purely
defensive campaign. There will be
the natural impulse on the part of
many to wage defensive campaign
as a matter of loyalty to the pro-

enough, but such campaigns usually
degenerate into defense of the least
worthy individuals in a movement.
Over Jealous crusaders are apt to
confuse personalities with principles

But if the rank and file of the pro-

in the principles which glorified a

competents, and completely divorces
itself from the groups which betrayed
