Prisoners Taken by U. 5.
May Be Used on Farms

Axis war prisoners may be used in

produce food.
j. A. Walker, chief of the labor
branch of the Food Production Ad-
ministration, disclosed today that
the Government was considering
using prisoners captured in Africa
and. Europe to help fill agricultural
labor shortages.
Such prisoners would have to be

IN large groups so they could be

be limited largely to cultivating and
harvesting commercial vegetable
canning and fruit crops.

War, Mr. Walker has been assigned
to recruiting workers for the record
production goals of the Agriculture
Departments war food program.
Mr.. Walker told reporters that

Railroads Promise
To Use Rate Rise
For Debts, Plants
Fletcher Says Carriers
Will Report on Compliance
With ICC 'Admonjtion'
By the Associated Press.

B, the Associated Press
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission today had the promise of
the railroads that they would COM
ply with an "admonition' to use
revenues from increased rates and
fares for betterment to their plants
and retirement of debt.
R. V. Fletcher, vice president of
the Association of American Rail-
roads, yesterday said the carriers
were in accord with the general
purpose of recent commission in
qulry as to the legality, feasibility
and desirability of such a plan and
would report from time to time" on
how the admonition was being OBJ
served.
Mr.. Fletcher opened the railroads
testimony in support of continuance
OF rate increases authorized in 1912.
The increases are under fire by price
stabllization agencies of the Gov
ernment, who contend they are in
f1ationary.
Mr.. Fletcher suggested that if the
commission decided on such a policy
Tor use of revenue from the in
creases, no actual order would he
necessary.
An admonition in the commits
slon's report he said. clearly set
ting forth its views, will be faith
fully observed"
While not questioning the COM
MISSIONS authority to make such
requirement condition of retention
OF the increases-l0 per cent on
passenger fares and roughly 6 per
cent on frelght-Mr. Fletcher sub
mitted that such a requirement was
not desirable.
he urged the commission, if it de-
clced on the requirement. to ap-
prove additions to reserves and sink
ing funds, and asked also that rail-
roads undergoing reorganizations
not be obligated to use the increases
for debt reduction.
Mr.. Fletcher was followed bv DR.
julius H. Parmelee, director of the
associations Bureau of Railway
economics. who said the net income
received by the railroads in 1912
was exceptional and not likely to
be repeated in 1943, nor in future
years of the war even though
traffic might show further increases
over 1922
The commission reported yester-
! day that class railroads net operat-
! ing income in 1912 was Sl,48O $40, =
! 76O, or 48.3 per cent more than in
/ 194l.
Mr.. Parmelee told the commission
that railroad taxes were more than
three times as great in 1912 as in
1899, and likely would be even larger
IN l943 and subsequent years.
He said railroad dividends had
shown little increase and last wear
were only about two-thirds of what
they were during the World War.
