Jones Urges Loans
To LET Railroads Buy
Outstanding Stocks
Amendment to LENDING
Program to EnobIe 1t
Urged on Senators
BY the Associated Press.

| By the Associated Press.
Jesse H. Jones, newly-appointed
Federal loan administrator, recon-
mended today that railroads be per-
mitted to borrow money from the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. for
the purpose of buying in their out
standing securities at discount.
Mr.. Jones, former r. F. C. chair
man, testified before the Senate
Banking Committee in support OF
President Roosevelt's new $780,
900, 900 lending program.
Under questioning by Senator
Maloney, Democrat, of Connecticut
Mr.. Jones said he thought it would
be feasible for the r. F. C. to ad-
vance money to carriers in order
that the latter could buy in their
discounted obligations. He suggested
an amendment to the loan program
to permit such transactions.
Mr.. Jones said, however, that the
roads should make up the difference
between the price they paid their
bondholders for the obligations and
the securities par value in preferred
stock. Thus, he said, if road was
able to buy in a 500 bond at $50,
it should give the bondholder $40 in
preferred stock.
I'VE wouldn't want to lend money
to one man to buy a bargain from
another" Mr.. Jones said.
He testified that some carriers
could reduce their fixed charges by
so per cent if they had the funds
to buy in their fixed-interest OBJ
legations at discount.
Mr.. Jones Endorsed the general
lending program as a means OF
stimulating business, and said that

John M. Carmody, newly appoint
