this In mind that Mr.. Wheeler and
the rest Of his committee have
labored for months to perfect
the bill.
Yet, this Wheeler bill is expected
to be of real assistance to the rail-
roads, not by lending them money,
but by giving them an even break
with the water carriers. the motor
trucks and buses. and other forms
of transportation, including pipe
lines. With third of the Ameri-
can railroads mileage already in
bankruptcy or receivership courts
and another third on the verge of
bankruptcy, it is apparent that it is
high time that something be done.
The measure is expected to ben
eft the railroads, first by putting
the carriers on all fours In the mat
ter OF regulation-and the Inter-
state Commerce Commission is to
do the regulating. There is no at
tempt to take from the United
States Maritime Commission the
regulation of water-b borne traffic
where that traffic goes overseas and
is not in competition with the rail-
roads. But the bill does undertake
to place water carriers that compete
with the railroads and with motor
buses and trucks under regulation by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
Would Speed Up Hearings.
Second, the bill provides for
speeding up action by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission-which
now is often long delayed-in the
matter Of hearings and action on
applications of the railroads and
other carriers. For example, some
categories of cases may be heard
by a single commissioner.
Third, the bill throws into the dis
card the old provisions of the Inter-
state Commerce Act, as amended.
calling on the Interstate Commerce
Commission to work out plans for
general consultations of railroads,
to provide for major systems
throughout the country. In its
place. the commission is authorized
to approve and order individual
consultations that appear in the
public interest as we'll as in the in
terest Of the carriers. AS Senator
Wheeler explains, however, there is
to be no grouping of only the strong,
profit making sections of railroads
in consolidation under the author
'ity given. The weaker portions of
the roads must be taken into con-
sideration, too, in making such con-
solidations.
The Wheeler bill has the support
OF practically all the railroad execu-
tives. 1t is favored by the railroad
brotherhoods The motor truck and
bus companies are favorable, too.
The main opposition to the bill
comes from a portion of the water
carriers. Some of these water car
riers are contented to go along. The
opponents seem to take the position
that railroads must be regulated.
while water carriers, although they
compete on rights-of way improved
and largely maintained by public
funds, should be free of such regula-
ton. This attitude the Senate COM
mittee holds to be entirely unten-
able.

Research Institute
Discusses Economy
In Industry
Leaders in Business
Will Close Sessions
At National Academy

Final sessions of the Industrial
Research Institute, composed of
business executives and industrial
engineers. were held in the Nation
al Academy of Sciences building
this morning.
Affiliated with the National Re-
search Council, some of Americas
big business men spent all day
yesterday and part of today in vital
discussions which have as their
object ways and means to make
industry more resourceful and eco
nomical.
Only one year in existence, the
Industrial Research Institute was
started as an experiment, but has
the cooperation of some of the
biggest plants in America and al
ready results are beginning to show.
The deliberations were brought to
an end this morning after mem
bers had heard various experts talk
on problems effecting not only in
dustrial plants but also general liv-
ing conditions.
Demands of business MANAGEMENT
today, 1t was brought out, are "econ-
omy and results in every depart
ment of every great industrial unit"
This, because uncontrolled costs
labor, materials, taxes-are steadily
rising.
Men like H. w. Graham, general
metallurgist of one of the biggest
steel companies in Pittsburgh; A.
M. Ball, of a powder company in
Wilmington, Del; F.. w. Blair,
chemical director of Americas lare-
est soap manufacturing concern,
and John M. Wells, vice president
OF the American Optical Co. of
Southbridge, Mass, thrashed out a
number of problems that, when
solved, will advance American in
dustry.
Purely a cooperative group, the
Industrial Research Institute, 1t
was said, has started the develop
ment of "a wholly new and valuable
aid to management in its search for
more Efficient, more economical, and
more performance of the functions
OF business"
Before coming to Washington the
% members of the institute, with
some IA guests, made "a science trav-
ell tour" into the plants and labora-
tories of three industrial companies
in three different States. In the
meetings here they discussed high
lights of the tour and drew from 1t
topics for future study and discus
sion. 1t is planned for the member
ship to meet four times year.
Members were greeted at the OPEN
ing session by A. l.. Barrows, execu-
tive secretary of the National Re-
search Council. Speakers were H.

tee Of the institute, presided over all

Irene Lerch Proves
Mature Artist

Sometimes it is one phrase that
determines the quality of a player,
as was the case last night at Henry
Kaspar's Studio where Irene Lerch
was presented in a piano recital.
This young artist, who performs with
a finish that speaks of years of
public experience, is already capable
of rounding out her phrases in
manner which leaves one with
desire to hear more. Poetry and
tonal beauty are part of Miss
Lerch's equipment, in addition to a
technique serving her as means to
an end.
1t was in the short recitative of
the Chopin "Fantasie in F Minor,
Op. 49," that Miss Lerch first gave
eloquent evidence of her talent, re-
peated in the "Adiago Cantabile" of
Richard Strauss Sonata in B
Minor, Op. S." From these examples
one might suppose that many other
works which call for a sensitive
touch and self-expression will find
in Miss Lerch a good interpreter.
Although the first movement of
Mozart's Sonata in D Major" for
two pianos, and his Sonata in A
Major a favorite with harpsichord-
lists, introduced Miss Lerch as a
pianist of considerable attainment.
1t was not until she touched upon
the romantics that she unfolded her
particular style.
AS a whole the work by the emf
nent German composer Richard
Strauss, dating back, possibly, to his
student years when he had not as
yet found himself, does not offer
much that is original. Each move
ment of the sonata seems to be a
free Improvisation on a given theme.
This theme may consist of only four
notes yet its identity can be estab-
lished without difficulty. Beetho-
ven's Fifth Symphony" inspired un-
doubtedly the first movement,
Liszt's "Campanella" parts of the
last, Mendelssohn's incidental music
to Midsummer Nights Dream"
was responsible for the middle part
in the "Adagio Cantabile," while the
"Scherzo," with its rapid scale pass
ages, drew inspiration from the
lesser known Francois Schubert,
who wrote "The Bee"
The remainder Of Miss Lerch's
program included Schubert-Liszt's
"Hark, Hark, the Lark" "Petites
Cloches dams la Brume" and SYM
phonic Variations" of Cesar Franck,
with Henry Kaspar at the second
piano. Miss Lerch had the atten-
ton and the appreciation Of her
audience, which cordially applauded
every number.
During the intermission, Dixie

New Teachers COLLEGE
Urged byCitizens

Distriet-MoryIond
Association Elects
R. F. Martin President

Erection of a new Wilson Teach
ers' College on the present site of
the tuberculosis Hospital at Four
teenth and Upshur streets NV. was
urged by the Takoma Park DC
Md Citizens Association meeting
last night in the Takoma Park
branch library.
An appropriation of 100000 for
plans and starting the construction
of the structure was also included
in the resolution, presented by
Mrs. Mary L. White, chairman of
the School Committee, and adopted.
During discussion of the school
phase of the Griffenhagen report
it was stated that some of the rec
concentrations were contrary to ac-
ton taken by the Advisory Commit
tee on Education appointed in 1896,
contrary to the generally recog-
nized American democratic princi-
pie of freedom of education from
control of partisan officials and
not based on the recognized Ameri-
can way of placing ultimate re-
sponsibility and administration with
the people of the community
through board of citizens.
Mrs. White urged reconsideration
OF the Advisory Committees re-
port for the purpose of providing
a constructive program that will
hberate the educational potentiali-
ties OF the District, provide a high
degree OF economy and local con-
troll and assure an adequate basis
for financial support of public edu-
cation.
After discussing the present milk
investigation in Congress, the asso-
citation adopted a resolution urging
reduction in the retail price of
milk, but maintaining the present
high standard.
The Executive Committee was
given authority to consider an ap-
pllcation for rezoning the tract of
land on the west side of Third street,
between Whittier and Aspen streets
NV, to permit the erection of a
three-story apartment building. On
previous occasion several months
ago the association opposed the
plans as then outlined by the owner
of the property.
Reed F. Martin, chief clerk of the
General Accounting Office and pres
ident of the Government Welfare
and Recreation, Inc, was elected
president of the association. Other
officers elected were: First vice
president, Miss Grace B. Holmes;
second vice president, Mrs. White;
secretary, Walter Trey; treasurer,
Arthur F. Gordon; delegates to the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
Mr. Martin and Mr.. Trey. A vote of
thanks was extended to DR.. Guy
