RAIL SITUATION WORRIES

ONLY 8 CLASS ONE ROADS
COVER 1938 FIXED CHAlUiES
STOP-GAP MEASURE SEEN
DL'B FOR DEFEAT
SOLUTION BLOCKED BY
SPECIAL INTERESTS
WASHINGTON. June 7. Only elht
of the nation's claas one railroads
will cover their fixed charges this
year. Of the eight, several are un
important, and all of them, big and
little, are roads with comfortable
monopolies on ore traffic or coal
traffic.
- Of the entire railroad mileage In
the United States. 94 percent repre
sents roads which are either now In
receivership or will be candidates for
the wringer before the new year. Some
can be bailed out by the banks or
the RFC. Some can escape dlsastor
by living on accumulated fat. But
the majority are already nothing but
skin and bones, technically precluded
from RFC help and untouehablea to
the bankers.
New mileage totaling 140.000 may
be added to the mileage now bank
rupt. Eleven fairly Important roads
now solvent will not make a penny
toward 1038 fixed charges. And even
If railroad fixed charges were arbi
trarily cut in half, 49 roads, with an
annual gross revenue of over $2,000.
000.000. would still fall to meet their
full bond Interest.
These predictions emanate from re
sponsible economists In one of the
largest and most efficient government
agencies. They are contained In an
elaborate study of the railroad situ
ation now being circulated among the
high officials of the administration.
And while they are the gloomiest of
the authoritative forecasts, they are
not much gloomier than the proph
ecies of such professional optimists
as RFC Chairman Jesse H. Jones.
In recent private conversations, Mr.
Jones himself has named a figure
pretty close to eight as the numher
of roads which wilt earn their full
charge this year. To be sure, both
Mr. Jones and the economist-authors
of the railroad study are making
propaganda for action on the railroad
problem before the adjournment of
congress.
At the moment, their task appears
to be hopeless. The only real rail
road bill under consideration would
merely permit the RFC to make loans

Wearin Is Swamped
In Primary Contest
For Senate Choice
DES MOINES, June 7. () The purported drive of some nationally
known New Dealers against Iowa Senator Guy M. Gillette appeared to
have "been swamped under a deluge of Democratic primary votes todaj.
Senator Olllette, who charged dur- i
lng the campaign that New Deal
Strategist Tommy Corcoran was di
recting the drive against him from
Washington, was polling more than
50 percent of the votes as returns
passed the three-fourths mark.
Representative Otha D. Wearin. en
dorsed by WPA Chief Harry L. Hop
kins and 'my friend" to James Roose
velt, was receiving a little more than
a quarter of the total, and three other
candidates shared the rest.
Returns from 2,374 of 2,447 pre
cincts gave Gillette 75.735. Wearin
40.527. W. O. Byerhoff 5.071, J. J.
Meyers 16.716, Mrs. Ellsworth Rich
ardson 8.975.
Former Senator L. J. Dickinson,
conceded victor In the Republican
senatorial race, had polled 135.171
votes in 2.280 precincts. Represen
tative Lloyd Thurston, his opponent,
had 102.372.
Wearin could not be reached for a
statement. His family In Hastings,
la., reported that he was not expect
ed until late tonight. A campaign
aide, J. Don Kerlln of Dcs Moines,
said he (Kerlln) had sent a con
gratulatory telegram to Gillette.
Both Wearin and Thurston. In
cumbent congressmen, ran poorly out
side their own congressional districts.
The volume of Republican voting
continued substantially ahead of the
Democratic totals.

WASHINGTON1. June 7. (AP)
President Roosevelt, commenting to
day on the renomlnatlon of Senator
Gillette In the Iowa Democratic pri
maries, said It was a perfectly good
carrying out of a perfectly good
system of party government.
Harry L. Hopkins, tho works pro
gress administrator, who had said
he favored Representative Wearin,
Gillette's principal opponent, com
mented earlier that the senator's
victory showed WPA was not playing
politics.
WASHINGTON, June 7. JP '
Secretary Wallace pledged his "whole
hearted support" to Senator Gillette ,
(D.-Ia.) today and urged all Iowa
Democrats and Republicans who fa
vor Roosevelt policies to work for his
reelection.
Iowa Republicans nominated for
mer Senator L. J. Dickinson to oppose
Senator Gillette In general election In
November,
Democratic senators who fought the
Roosevelt cour bill hailed Gillette's
victory aa a rebuke to the exertion
of outside Influence In a state pri
mary. Gillette was first of their num
ber up for re-nomlnatlon this year.
It was this group which focused
national attention on the Iowa con- ;
test by senate declarations that WPA j
Administrator Harry Hopkins was
trying to "put WPA Into politics" I
tli rough his endorsement of Repre-
sentetlve Otha Wearin, Gillette's prln-
clpal challenger.
After the votes were counted, these
senators described Wearln's defeat by i
nearly two to one as a sharp rebuke '
to Hopkins.
Antl-admlnlstratlon legislators, In
fact, regarded the primary aa a dis
tinct setback, to the Roosevelt forces
not only In view of Hopkins' stand
but because Wearin himself claimed
White House support.
Representative Martin (R.-Mass.),
chairman of the Republican congres
sional committee, said the Iowa vot
ing "indicated plainly Iowa la set to
Join Pennsylvania and Oregon In the
Republican parade in November."
Several of the court bill foes Intend
to campaign on the same formula.
As for organized labor, the Amer
ican Federation of Labor once more
backed the winning nominee, aa It
had done In Pennsylvania, wearin had
received the endorsement of several
CIO leaders.
Republicans were heartened by the
fact that their total primary vote ran
far ahead of the Democratic aggre
gate, as usual.
James A. Farley. Democratic na
tional chairman, was not far behind
Wallace In congratulating Gillette.
On the White House steps he made
public a telegram which pledged his
aid "In the campaign that Is to
follow" and urged Gillette to '"Teel
free to call upon me for any as
sistance you desire."
Farley had Just conferred with Mr.
Roosevelt but told reporters the tele

LA FOLLETTE OFFERS
AS PROSPERITY PLAN
BOSTON, June 7 (JP) The stream
lining of American railroads was
urged today by Philip U La Follette,
governor of Wisconsin and founder
of the new Progressive party, as one
means of taking the United States
out of the recession.
Tho youthful leader of tho new
party said In an Interview that the
railroads In the east were "obsolete"
and he suggested present equipment
ought to be "Junked."
La Follette came to the Massachu
setts capital after addressing Dart
mouth college students at Hanover,
N. H., and young Republicans of
Vermont at Rutlsnd. Vt.
There la work to be done In this
country If the government con bring
work and the workor together," he
said.
"Tho railroads In the east are
obsolete. Every time you run a train
In New England you are wasting
money. Every time you haul a pas
senger train you are hauling three
times as much weight aa Is necessary.
Modern ctfra and modern equipment
are only one-third the weight of the
cars and equipment now in service.'
The Notional Progressive associa
tion, ha said, would compel such
Improvements made by law.
"It would begin with a survey of
the railroads of tho country."- he
declared, "an engineer's survey, not
a banker'a survey, and It would es
tablish first what should be done
and then provide the legislation to
do It. There are 3,500.000 jooa aione
In modernising American railroads.'
