Virginia Line Charges
{. & 0.-CentraI Link
Would Bottle Il Up
BY The Assoeioted Press

F. D. Beale, president of the Vir-
gtnian Railway Co., said today the
proposed aff1liation of the Chesa-
peake 81 Ohio and the New York
Central Railroad systems would
bottle up" his line "and leave 1t at
the mercy of It's two strongest
competitors"
Mr.. Beale spoke at an Interstate
Commerce Commission hearing on
the applications of Robert r. Young
and Robert j. Bowman, c. IL O..
Board chairman and president, re-
spectively, for permission to sit on
the New York Central Board and
exercise the voting privileges of
100000 shares of Central common
stock. The interlocking directorate
Is proposed as a preliminary to
future uniflcation of the two lines.
Mr.. Young, personally pleading
his case for place on the Central
Board, told an ICC examiner yes
terday that the Mellon banking in
terests control the Pennsylvania
Railroad and are behind the Vir-
ginian in Its opposition to his
application.
Virginian Is Connecting Line.
The Virginian is a short connect
Ing line operating over about $50
miles of track in Virginia and West
Virginia and linking soft coal pro-
ducing areas with various larger
railroads. One of it's principal out
lets Is at Norfolk, Va. where an i'm
portant interchange operation is
carried on with New York Central
by way of the so-called deep-water
bridge.
"The affiliation between the Ches-
apeake & Ohio and the New York
Central systems, which is sought,
would deprive the Virginian of this
one friendly connection, would bot
tile 1t up completely and leave it at
the mercy of its two strongest COM
petitors," Mr.. Beale testified.
Mr.. Beale said its connecting set
up at Norfolk "competes directly and
effectively with the similar routes
of the Chesapeake & Ohio and the
Norfolk & Western"
Merger Is Mentioned.
Mr.. Young said he looked for
ward to marriage" of c. & O.
and Central, but under stiff cross
examination by interests opposing
his. application, he emphasized that
1CC approval would not constitute
working control" of Central,
He said that as Central director
he would seek to sell" other direc-
tors of that line on his ideas for
changes in the Central system, but
asserted that I'VE could have no con-
troll without ICC approval. We
would not think of exercising con-
troll without commission approval"
The Young Bowman petitions are
based on Chesapeake e. Ohio,s ac-
QUESTION of 100000 shares of Gen.
trail stock in the open market, which
cost c. & o. 1888, ,174.29, and
roughly representing a 6 per cent
interest in the Central system.
Gov. Clarence w. Meadows of
West Virginia Endorsed the Young
Bowman applications. He testified
that "the alliance between C. & o.
with a large transportation system
that reaches extensive markets
would unquestionably help West
Virginia coal production"

British Atom Delays
Scored by Scientist
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

LONDON, Sept. 18.-Sir Robert
Renwick, chief of radar research
and production during the war, de-
clared today development of atomic
energy in Britain was begged down
in red tape of government monop-
oily.
AS a result, we are long way
behind the Americans" said Sir
Robert, chairman of the County of
London Electric Supply Co., in a
speech prepared for a luncheon of
the Society of Individualists.
Industry, being most closely con-
cerned, is kept completely in the
dark about what is going on"
Progress, he declared, was re-
tarded by three factors:
Inability of the government to
view the problem in it's proper per-
spective and bring the right degree
of urgency to bear upon it;
Their (governmenD reluctance
to take industry fully into their
confidence; and
Their handling of what was in

pieces such as Carleton Colby's

American Symphonette." Gene
Archer sang Great Day" and Begin

peared as soloist on the piano ano
later with the accordion.
When we first planned this, We
got together a committee of the
leading people in music in the
Capital" Mr.. Schwartz said. "They
suggested a a'program for a symphony
orchestra. The national Office had
to pass on it. They asked What's
in this for the dance band boys?
So we decided to give concert with
the kind of music most people like.
It's too bad we didn't have the money
to let them know about sit."

New Extension Grained
On Williams Bankruptcy

The deadline for filing objections
to having George H. Williams, real
estate dealer, discharged as bank
rupt has been extended to July 81,
District Bankruptcy Referee John
A. Bresnahan revealed yesterday.
The second extension since March
granted creditors of Williams, who
accepted deposits for homes that
were never built, was ordered at
the request of Samuel M. Green
baum, trustee in bankruptcy for the
real estate man. Mr.. Bresnahan
said the trustee petitioned to adj
vance the deadline from May 81 in
order to conduct further necessary
investigation into records of VIII
liarns' business.
Mr.. Bresnahan said an objection
already has been filed by one cred
itor. He added that only one objec-
ton need be sustained to hold
Williams legally liable for all debts
declared in his bankruptcy petition.
