Pennsy Sees Future
As Bleak Despite lis
Record 1948 Revenue

PHILADELPHIA. Mar. 14.-The
Pennsylvania Railroad says its
outlook for 1949 is bleak, despite
the fact it reports the greatest
peacetime operating revenue in its
history last year.
President Martin w. Clement,
In the company's 102d annual re-
port to stockholders. declared last
night that while revenues have
gone up, income hasn't kept step
proportionately.
He pointed out that material
costs have gone up los per cent
since 1889 and that freight and
express rates, effective this year,
bring total rate increase of only
So per cent.
Investment return" Mr.. Glenn
ent said. has been highly made
quate for many years, having ex-
ceeded per cent in only one
year since 1929 and was less than
/ per cent in 1916"
The head of the Nations largest
railroad told stockholders that
further rate increases are neces-
sary and will continue to be neces-
sary If costs continue to mount"
Mr.. Clement listed these com
parative figures:r -.--,'
Net income: 1948-s34, 429, 1884.
equal to 1928 per share: 1947-
S7,285,125, or 20 cents. The rail-
roads largest money-making year
was in 1912 when SOL .000,0
was earned
Operating revenue: 194S-s99s,-
982 900; 1947-s903.2 1858 ,059.
Operating expenses: 1948-
sS32.945, 977: 1947-s789,877.541.
While the large volume of bus
mess is producing high gross rev.
enue.' Mr.. Clement said. They
are substantially short Of ade-
ouately meeting huge increased
costs Of operation"
Among these costs he listed:
l. Materials and supplies. The
railroad" he said. has had to pay
the higher prices charged
by producers in regulated indus
tries while it has been dependent
upon subsequent action of the
regulatory bodies to increase It's
own rates."
2. Wage increases. Mr.. Clement
said the Pennsylvania wages
have increased 84.3 per cent over
1899.
3. Maintenance and improve
ment. Mr.. Clement said much of
the roads equipment is worn out
and obsolete" because of heavy
war usage.
4. Improbable railroad service.
He said further operation of the
bankrupt Long Island Railroad,
wholly owned by the PENNSYLVANIA
but separately run, would have
resulted in larger annual deficits.

DR.. Townsend Urges
House 10 Accept His
0yer-60 Pension Plan
BY the Associated Press

DR.. Francis E. Townsend urged
Congress anew today to adopt his
plan to give pensions to the Grip
pied. the blind and everybody
above so years of age. He pro-
posed a 3 per cent gross income
tax on business and individuals
to pay for it.
DR.. Townsend presented the
plan to the House Ways and
Means Committee as he has sew
eral times in the past. He assailed
the Government social security
program as making everybody
poorer and depressing business.
Sees Security Reduced.
Instead of increasing the Sc
curity of the masses" he said, lit
actually reduces security by re-
ducing the buying power of the
masses"
But for the Townsend plant he
said:
"A reasonable division of the
wealth of the Nation among the
people who are incapacitated for
earning living each month.
would almost double the buying
capacity of our population"
A Townsend plan bill sponsored
by Rer"c sentative Angel, nepub-
lican. of Oregon proposes collect
ing the tax monthly on the gross
or total income of all business
and individuals, after a S250-per-
person exemption.
Then the proceeds from the tax
would be divided among those
qualified to receive pensions.
All Over 60 Eligible.
John Doyle Elliott. Townsend
plan statistician, testified that If
the program had been in effect
last year the tax would have net
ted 100000. This would
mean. he estimated. a monthly
check of $156 for an estimated
18.500,000 potential pensioners.
All persons over so would be
eligible, regardless of their own
resources, but Mr.. Angel said he
did not believe many wealthy
aged would apply.
DR. Townsend appeared before
the House group during its con-
sideration of administration leg
islation to extend public assist
L. i
persons. Such Federal relief now
is limited to the needy aged. the
blind and to dependent children.

l4.-An American Military Gov
eminent Appeals Court today re-
duced from 20 to years the
prison sentence imposed on Mrs.
Wilma Ybarbo for killing her SOL
dier husband.
The five-judge court confirmed
the right of Military Government
courts to try American civilians in
Occupied Germany. The decision
also upheld the right of such
courts to try American civilians
under German law.
The court found, however. that
under German law the sentence
could be for no more than S years.

both German and Military Gov
eminent law of shooting her hus-
band. Sergt. John Ybarbo Of
Goliad. Tex, during an argument
in their home last fall.
Her appeal challenged the find
ings Of the Marburg court and
also it's right to try an American
civilian under either law. Her
attorney. Stanley H. Gaines of
Brookline, Mass, commended be-
fore the Appeals Court that Mrs.
Ybarbo should have been tried by
an Army court-martial.
He also maintained German law
did not apply to persons subject
to military law.
The Appeals Court rejected
Mrs. Ybarbo's contention that she
had acted in self defense.
1t said, however, her act was the
result of a long and intolerable
course of cruelty and ill-treatment
of her by her soldier husband"
The court found that German
law limits sentence for homicide
to five years in cases where ILL
treatment is proved.
Mrs. Ybarbo's seven day trial
was a sensational one, spiced with
