C, Sept. 14. It was not modesty but prudence that kept Railroad Co-ordlnator Eastman report a secret. - He went up to the president's hide but at Hyde Park g, few days ago, submitted h t a recommendations and vanished, flelther he nor the Hyde Park announcer would talk. Trustwo rthy little birds, who listened at the window o the conference room, report they got an earful. They Paal Mallon ? .'airy aay they heard Mr. Eastman recom mend the creation of a department V"of -transportation In the government, to be headed by an additional cabinet officer. The purpose would be to regulate Highway and waterway com petition with the railroads. Birds with railroad Investments thought that was a good idea until they found out that Mr. Eastman also had some notion that the government could take over ownership of railroad properties eventually and lease them for private operation In other words, government ownership and private operation. The newa has been grapevlned to Itiner congressional and railroad cir cles here. They are in a turmoil. The best authorities are betting that the president will not follow Mr. Eastman's recommendations, either ax to the new cabinet post or as to government ownership. There are rumors around that President Whitney of the stock ex change will appeal ahortly to PWA Administrator Ickca for tlO.000 to build a walling wall rlfrht down the middle of Wall street. Something must be done. The fi nancial sewers are flooded with tears of ex-gcnluses of finance. More wary marketeers are talking about carrying waterwlngs to keep from being wash ed away. Life preservers may be tacked on brokers' walls. It really la serious, and would be more so, If those few who atlll have their feet on the ground did not realize that Wall street always has been Inhabited by slightly Insane people who thoroughly enjoy excesses of misery or elation. As one ot the most prominent men there describes the Inside situation: "There never has been such wide spread blue funk in the financial ois m the last week. They did not get down so low even during the bink holidays." That feeling Is what appears to be behind the sensitiveness ot the gov ernment bond market and the stock market that, and nothing else. The Wall streeters eat up exciting rumors, true or not. On alternate Tuesdava and Fridays they usually fnvor inflation, while on other days at'.'ey toy with the picturesque pros pects of fascism, communism and tirm. Anvono can gei here by predicting anything. If his prediction Is dire and specific. The simple prospect that proba jlv nothing will happen for a while yet never enters their heads. Yet that Is the prevailing Washington opinion. The tresury Is not ' ' r..-rt.th.m. not c , ii ' .. .. ,t as It would have If It was aira.u ot the consequences. Everyone realizes that the new fi nancing program probably signalizes the beginning of the end of dirt cheap Interest rates on government financing. The trend of rates prob ,bly will be upward Instead ot down ward. But no one here believes the treasury will have any trouble getting the money It needs during the next six months or more. t. i. true that the official bank- rs' magazine characterized the new lntercst rates as "generous It also Is true that me treasury i.v.c. a- generous unless It has to. The terms ot the new financing are Vd mlttedly better for bondholders than the financing In April and June and the reason Is the treasury did not want to take a chance on having the bond lsue fall. If you look at the new deal deficit for the fiscal year (July. August and September up to the 10th. you will find It l 1487.000.000. That Indicates the deficit la accumulating at a rate of about S300.000.000 a month. If this rate Is malntslned. the deficit for this year would be around two and a halt billions. It will run mere than that because expenditures will be accelerated during the wln'.er.

In Georgia Both Sides Firm. By Richard L. Turner (Associated Press Staff Writer) WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. fl) Strike leaders demanded the Imme diate resignation of Hugh S. Johnson, the recovery administrator, today a the' great textile industrial conflict approached a crisis which may result in the personal intervention of Presi dent Roosevelt. Replying to Johnson's accusation that union officials called the strike in violation of their pledged word. Francis J. Gorman, national strike chairman, charged the NRA head with untruthfulness and partiality to the employers. "He has demonstrated his utter un fltneas to hold public office," sa.d Gorman. "We demand that he re sign forthwith." Thomas F. McMahon, president 01 the United Textile workers, against whom Johnson's charge was directed denied the accusation. At Pawtuckct, R. I., he-declared the NRA reader as "endeavoring again to make it appear that this Is a strike against the gov ernment. George A. Sloan, president of the Cotton Textile Institute, praised Johnson for "definitely spiking propa ganda effectively used in many mill centers' to the effect that the gov ernment and the NRA supporting and encouraging the textile strike. The week-end calm on the strike front was punctuated by the explos ion of a dynamite bomb which shav tered windows for fifty feet along the front of the E. M. Holt plaid mill at Burlington, N. C. It was "like ar earthquake," residents said. President Roosevelt put In at New port, R. I., and conferred with Secre tary Dern and Major General Pox Conner on the subdued strike situation--tit-Rhode Island, which had threatened earlier to bring a call for federal troops. The president found the state so placid that shortly afterward the yacht Nourmahal, on which he Is cruising, steamed out of Narragan sett bay to spend the late morning and with the private fleet attending the international yacht races. As on last Monday, the employers are planning a determined effort to reopen a large number or closed mills under the protection of national gtiard units, now on duty In a half dozen states. Labor leaders promised an unyielding resistance atp such a move. The conflict has developed Into a test of labor' strength under the NRA. Virtually all national and inter national unions are reported to be dipping Into their treasuries to assist the textile strikers. The mill owners have the unqualified support of other great Industries. The presidential mediation board, headed by Governor John G. Wlnant of New Hampshire, has found It Im possible to obtain an agreement for arbitration of the controversy. Bolh the opposing factions have predicted a long hard struggle. WASHINGTON, Sept. 15-(AP)-A within the Amc,;- i can Federation of Labor was pro- a today by Hugh S. Johnson's advocacy of organizing workers Industries Instead of crafts. Labor leaders, startled by this throwing of NRA support behind the so-cslled vertical union, wondered privately how much President Roose velt knew of the general's outspoken plan. Apparently purposely, the abrupt NRA chief struck In his New York speech last night at this federation sore spot lust as William Green, A P. of L. president. d his IJ;s ! charted plans for their annuul O.-- tober convention. Supporters of th International or craft unions quicMy promised a last ditch struggle against a mounting vertical union movement. John P.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. (TP) The cross fire of political blasts today brought a statement from Senator Jamea Hamilton Lewis, (D., 111.), that in state where President Roosevelt had been made an Issue in the pri mary campaigns "the vote gave him the approval." In a republican return fire, Repre sentative Chester Bolton of Ohio, co chairman of the O. O. P. senatorial congressional committee, directed a broadside at the Roosevelt adminis tration. He declared that if Jesse Jones, chairman of the RFC, was chos en to reassure business that the new deal of for "fair profits for business," then "new dealers seem to have made a poor choice to present such assur ance." Lewis, chairman of the democratic senatorial committee.: in- expressing satisfaction over the outcome of the Maine elections, and primary contests where Roosevelt policies were made an Issue, said: "The challenge of the assailants of the new deal haa been met by the people with their endorsement of the policies of the administration and their repudiation of Its accusers." Bolton's statement referred to a re cent address by Jones before the na tional business conference at Welles ley, Mass. The republican asserted his speech "and the vague attempts or other new dealers to calm the fears of business, indicates a change In policy which the president himself shou'd make clear." "It illustrates," said Bolton " other of the Innumerable Inconsis tencies in the present administration the government asks for one thing? The government acta to prevent the same thing." CALLANDER. Ont., Sept. 15. 7TI The condition of Ceclle, one or the famous Dionne quintuplets, today caused Dr. A. R. Dafoe considerable anxiety, while he still felt concern for two of her sisters.

Mellon, for 11 years a treasury secretary .Voday traded verbal blows over a new fed eral effort to collect 3,075.103 in taxes and fraud penalties from the Pittsburgh multi-millionaire. The government filed with the board of tax appeals a petition as serting that Mellon, while still sec retary of the treasury, "began the execution of a scheme to evade his federal Income taxes." Involved. It contended, were "fictitious" stock sales and other devices. Striking back, Mellon declared In & statement Issued here that the move was made "in order to save the treasury's face and to give some semblance of Justification for Its par ticipation In the Inept political man euver of Attorney General Cummlngs last spring. Mellon expressed surorlse that the treasury would take "the astounding position that It Intends to try out in a civil tribunal the very same issue of tax evasion settled by the federal grand .Jury at Pittsburgh last May." A grand Jury refused to Indict Mellon on tax evasion charges last May and the treasury soon afterward notified the former ambassador to Great Britain of an additional assess ment and penalties for the year 1931. He appealed to the board and the government's action, today '.vas in answer.

STRAIL ME E .Columbia Gorge Committee Thinks Proposed Road Should Curve To Fit Scen ery And Leisure Drives Board Favors Speed. PORTLAND, Ore.. Sept. 15. (AP) A battle of words over a highway that Isn't built jet today Involved the Oregon state highway depart ment and the Columbia Gorge com mlttee of the Pacific Northwest re sources board, with Marshall Dana, chairman of the district division of the national resources board, as non participating referee. On the one side were aligned the proponents of "straight" highways, R. H. Baldock, state highway engin eer, and Leslie M. Scott, highway commission chairman, with an argu ment that the proposed new water- grade highway through the gorge should be made as straight as pos sible to satisfy Oregonlan'a craving for speed, to reduce accidents and to fit in the "sharply-cut" gorge. On the other were members of the committee, John B. Yeon, chair man, Elbert M. Chandler, Jamleson Parker, Charles Lancaster, William A Thompson, C. J. Frankland and Wade Dean, with a claim that alterations should be made in the Highway de- partment's plan for the road, with more regard for natural suroundlnga, more thought given to leisurely driv ers, and enough curves to stop reck less speed. The committee, In a report sub m it ted to Dana, declared, "A high' way located without regard for nat ural contours, and designed oblivious of lta surroundings, Is not required by modern engineering standards The development of the science of 'spiralling' and 'auper-elevatton' nas rendered obsolete the necessity of tan cent prevalence as the only align ment condition permitting high npeed. An absolutely straight road Is no longer considered to be the only practical commercial highway. "The survevs which have already been made are the result of high way policies which have precluded from IU planning every vital con slderatlon except the attainment of fast route by a certain type of alignment program. Ita potential rec reational use haa been relegated to chance survival. Ita consequences on the country through which It pasnrs have been Ignored. , , " To which Engineer Baldock, in an answer also filed with Dana, replied I do not believe that the gentle men have made a careful atudy of the proposed change on the maps or on the Kround. In a separate statement, ocoii added, "The people of Oregon. I find are tired of kinky roads, and every where are saying to the commission. For goodness sake, take out these kinks and curves. The crooks ana curves slow up sjveed. People want to increase npeed, and Increased speed on curves Is very dangerous.' In their reports, both aldee also gave detailed technical opinions sup porting their claims. Dana has taken no action on either plan.
