BY ROBERT s. ALLEN

WASHINGTON Robert R Young, scrappy head of the Chesa- peake 6 Ohio Railroad, is return ing to the wars.
 In an exclusive interview with the Washington Merry Go-Rotmd the truculent little Texan announc- ed his intention to make new fight to gain control of the New York Central system, took lusty poke at the Association of Ameri- can Railroads, blasted both Demo- crats and Republicans, and de- nounced pouring taxpayers money down the vast China rathole."
 Young was tripped up on his plan to become the leading railroad tycoon of the country when the Interstate Commerce Commission last spring, blocked his taking over the New York Central.
 The ICC held the consolidation would be harmful to the Virgin ian Railway. This carrier, a con- petitor of Young's c. & O., has large contracts with the New York Central. Young now has it all figured out how to meet this 1CC objection.
 He proposes to take over the virginian.
 we will refile our application with the ICC." he said, "and in- clude the Virginian in our plans

 POLICE

BERLIN, Aug. 2l.-IR-Russian soldiers kidnapped four more Vest ern sector German policemen today two with violence-in a continu- ation of raids which Americans fear may grow into a serious in- ternational incident.
 The Soviet forces struck again after the Americans had announced they would seek face-to-face talks with the Russians to try for a truce in the conflict involving Berlin's divided police force.
 Headquarters of the Western sector police announced a large party of Russian soldiers halted two German plain clothes men from the American Zone near the sector border, stabbed one, beat the other with a rifle butt, and carried them into the Soviet Zone bodily when they refused to cross the line. s
 Two German policemen Of the British sector were the others ktd- naped. One escaped and the Bfit- ish are demanding return of the second.
 The Russians yesterday seized five policemen from the Ameri- can Zone. Two of them have es- caped. The Americans have asked return of the others but received no reply. Thus, of the nine police men taken, the Russians still bold six. k x
 Tension mounted hourly in this divided four-power city. Russian soldiers, tomnyguns at ready, pa- trolled their side of the sector border. A short distance away, under the Russians cold stares. British and American patrols were on the alert.
 Western sector police have ord cred motorized reserves to stand by, ready to speed to the boundar- ies at sign of trouble.
 The Russians have made series of lightning raids into the Western sectors, ostensibly against black marketeers.

 Alaska and the poor showing of fish to date may necessitate fur ther curtailment in any or all dis

 1 No Snap Judgment
 Far from being snap judgment on the part of 'vacationing' public official. the decision on closure was reached by joint agreement of the entire staff of the fisheries division of the Fish and Wildlife Service, Clarence J. Rhode said today.
 He declared, "the matter of ex- tensions and closures was considered in joint sessions with our agents. During the last week we have had 'every agent travelling steadily through his district checking stream escapement and reporting to us !daily on changes.
 Tn addition to that we have made three trips this week by plane with personnel from the regional office checking key spots. With this information and with statistical information supplied by Dr. Rich, we sat down in joint ses- sion, yesterday afternoon, with Be- ton Thompson, chief of branch of Alasks fisheries, George Kelez. su- pervisor of fisheries. Prank Hynes. assistant supervisor of fisheries and myself as regional director. with MT. Day. director of F | WI ser- vice, went through records and agreed on recommendations for opening |. the season where warranted and re- taining closure where insufficient escapement was apparent.
 Objections Rxised
 Referring to the additional closure, , w. c. Arnold, Managing Director
 of the Alaska Salmon Industry,

January Auto Output
May Come Close 10
December Mark
BY Dovid J. WiIkie
A..oeiaf.d Pres. Automotivs Editor

DETROIT, Jan. 17.-Passenger
cars and trucks, including lot of
new models In both categories,
moved from the assembly lines in
high volume again this week, sug-
gesting the total January output
may come close to the more than
467, 900 units that were assembled
last month.
Generally the car manufacturers
have been looking for a slight taper
ing of in production volume this
month because they consumed lot
Of their steel supply in December.
However, they found sdfficient
material to turn out approximately
10000 passenger cars and $4,000
commercial vehicles this week. and
probably will take the production
volume OF the first quarter Of this
year well over the 10000 unit
level. That figure was advanced
several weeks ago as the potential
output for the quarter. 1t may go
as high as 100000.
There probably will be more steel
available during the second quarter
but q shutdown that may run into
six weeks is in prospect for Ford
which will switch to its 1949 model

Bond Market Scores
Additional Slight
Advances in Week
By the Assoeio,ed Press =

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE bond
market finished a winning week
with further slight gains today.
Improvement in the short session
was confined mainly to the rail-
road section, where a liberal supply
of plus signs were posted.
During the week improvement was
slow but persistent. Noteworthy
according to financial quarters, was
the upward trend in the face of the
setback In stock quotations. Bond
quotations have taken their cue from
stocks for months.
Phone Deal Sets Record.
The week produced one new rec
ord with the marketing OF $9,179,-
900 Of American Telephone & Tele-
graph Co.'S new convertible deben-
lures. In single deal an $8,000,-
600 block of the bonds changed
hands. Veteran bond dealers termed
total sales of the A. T. & T. issue
the largest turnover in a corporate
issue on any day in the history OF
the exchange.
The bonds represented the rem
nant of the telephone company's
record offering to stockholders OF
1857 ,532 800 of az per cent deben-
lures, due 1857.
Government bonds showed slight
signs of improving several times
during the week but closed-with a
single exception, unchanged to al
most a full point below week
earlier. The Federal Reserve System
continued to take all offerings al
certain levels although dealers re-
ported some pickup in investment
demand.
The new financing market gained
a little momentum after the holi-
day breathing spell, with a con-
siderable part of the weeks activi-
ties devoted to municipals. Dealers
reported that top-grade local Gov
ernment issues recently have met q
favorable reception at the retail
level, which thew ascribed largely
to more realistic" pricing.
Big Offerings Due.
On the fire for next week are
several substantial offerings of cor
porate bonds, some the largest In
weeks. Southern California Edi-
son Electric Power Co. will trail with
a SIS, ,000, 900 issue:
In the Curb Exchange consider
able interest was aroused by q
furry in the old Russian-Czarist-
61a and 51z per cent bonds, which

Traders associated the buying with
reports of formation of a new COM
mittee of bondholders to claim 9
share of the so-called "Lityinoy

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Cotton tex
tile business moved at a slow pace
during the past week featured again
by a weakness in nearby print
cloths. The popular 80-square print
cloth sold on a prompt basis at sc
cents a yard, 2 cents under last

Little interest was shown In Of
ferings as buyers expressed belief
that there may be a general lower

they are well sold up through the
