Legislation to create a new Federal
Court to supervise railroad bank
ruptcies and .receiverships has won
the approvalsof the Senate Inter-
state Commerce Committee.
The committees action Yesterday
placed on the Senate calendar the
second OF two key proposals by Sem

Missouri. for dealing with the finan-
clally-distressed railroad industry.
Earlier this week the committee
approved legislation Bringing water
carriers under Government regula-
ton and generally overhauling the

Both measures were based in part
on the recommendations of a spe-
clal Railroad Management-Labor

a House-approved bill to permit
railroads to modify and postpone
their debts through the consent of

After meeting various members

the desirability of their jobs has
altered somewhat. I used to think,

However. from what I have seen,
this is a pretty good composite pic

A North American is to be Gre
mated at 7 am. A consular agent
must be on hand to certify the
validity of the corpse, or something
Then a United States citizen is
to be married. He insists on some
body from the consular Office as A
witness. After that the agent has
an engagement with the local chief
