PAGE TWO RAILWAYS LOSE T BY PRESIDENTS Full Fares Paid by Presi dential Parties, But Extra Care Runs Costs Up Precaution Is Strain By Frederic A. Storm (United Press White Houm Correspondent) WASHINGTON (UP) Railroads lose money when they carry the president of the United States, but they love It. The loss Is not a matter of free rides, for the president and thou of his party pay the same fares as do ordinary citizens. An Interstate commerce commission regulation pro vtdea for that. It comes because the carriers are forced to added expense In tha handling of the presidential special. They must be certain that every thing is perfect that the train Is not delayed, that all equipment Is In order, In short, that everything hat been done to assure the pres ident a swift, comfortable and trouble-leas ride. New equipment Is trotted out. The latest type engine gets a fresh coat of paint. The engineer and fireman, when notified that they are going to take out the presidential special, show up In new overalls, cap and bandana. The Job of moving the president from one city to another la an anxious one for the executives, too. Daniel Willard, head of the Balti more and Ohio, receives a rcpoit every hour, night and day, on the progress of the Roosevelt train while on his system. Source of Worry None of the big bosses wants any thing to happen. On more than one occasion this correspondent has heard railroad man heave a sigh of re lief as the special was shunted to the tracks of a competing lino after finishing its run on his road.' The high cost of handling a pres idential special Is not only In equip ment. Additional man power Is re quired all along the route. Hours ttefore the scheduled run, the full maintenance crews are called out to check and double-check on every Inch of track over which the train will pass. Moreover, they remain on duty, rain or shine, night and day, until the "all clear" signal Is given. Switches are spiked down and locked as a precaution against acci dent. At each division point a com plete wrecking crew, engine, tender, crane car and others laden with emergency supplies, Is on hand Just in case. Some Still Vae Pilot Many railroads compel traffic ap proaching on other tracks to come to a standstill until the presidential special has roared by. The railroads are getting away from the old Idea of sending a pilot train ahead of the special. However, the custom still prevails on all of the systems throughout the south and on some In the wost. In spite of all the precautions, there occasionally is a minor inci dent that fosters lots of correspon dence. Several years ao when Mr. Roose lt was speeding southward to Florida his special came to a grind Ins stop, the emergency brakes j squealing and the passengers getting a shaking up. Knnblt Units Trnlu A Georgia rabbit, attempting to beat the engine across the tracks, misjudged distances and was struck. Its body was rammed Into an air intake pipe on the locomotive. Thts caused the brakea to set. Railroad men scratched their hads. It was a half hour before thy discovered the cause. Then the rsoblt was removed and the train proceeded. Several months later the Roosevelt nuxlftl was ready to pull out of ! Washington for Hydo Park. Police men were on hand by the down. 80-.-irt men were everywhere and so were the railroad police. In spite of this vigilance, however, a hobo strolled across the tracks and hid himself on the steps of the preat. dent's own car after tho trap was down. He was not seen until the train flashed through Laurel, Md, A tele graph message was sent to Bnltimoro and the police wore waiting for the non-paying guest when the train pulled In for an operating stop. Taken to the police station house, the tramp was freed when he ex plained he didn't know he was steal ing a ride with the president. Ms O. MOttlUS, Agent, flume U Legion Convention Opens on Anti-War Note With ordinary issues of selecting a new national commander and Chicago, for next year's convention settled before the 1D3H gathering actually got under way, the American Legion cleared Its decks for action on moves to keep the nation out of war. This was the scene as the sessions opened In the Shrine auditorium In Los Angeles. SALES COUNSELOR TALKS TO ROTARY "The customer la definitely the boss," Samuel F. Worswlck, sales counselor, told the members of the Medford Rotary Club yesterday while presenting an Interesting address on salesmanship. Local Rotarlans. at their weekly luncheon meeting at the Hotel Medford, heard tho well known lecturer discuss the Importance or salesmanship in' every walk of Ufa and the need for the proper mental attitude toward every Job for suc cess. "You don't get the breaks, you make them," Mr. Warswlck said. "There Is plenty of room at the top, the trouble Is, too many are waiting for the elevator to take them up and there la no elevator." It was the depression that taught people in various business enterprises to sell, the speaker pointed out. Conditions made it necessary to go after new business and new, fertile fields for the salesmen were discov ered. In concluding his Interesting ad dress, Warswlck stressed the. Import ance of the proper contact with cus tomers and the Importance of cur tesy and hospitality to merchandis ing success. Loyalty and an Inter est in the Job were named by the speaker as the essentials of success. Leonard Carpenter, who recently completed a tour through Europe. will be the guest speaker at the Med ford Rotary Club next Tuesday noon when he will give interesting high lights of his extensive tour. TO PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 31. (AP There was a day when to the west ern cattleman the only good sheep man was a dead sheep man, and vice versa, but the feeling has soft ened somewhat. Where once they settled their dis agreements with shooting Irons and rope, they take them to court now. Yesterday in the polished sur roundings of the U. S. circuit court of appeals Harry Noh, southern Idaho sheep man, verbally fought out his feud with cattlemen. Noh was charged with violating the Idaho range law and countered with a claim he acted within the confines of the federal Taylor graelng act. He got an Injunction in the Idaho federal district court against the state court procedure. The cattle men appealed to the federal circuit court.

WEDNESDAY, ROOSEVELT GUESS WRONG ON PURGE; SEES NO VICTORY WASHINGTON, Sept. 31. (AP) President Roosevelt was 100 per cent wrong In his prediction on the out come of primary voting In New York's 16th congressional district, In which Representative John J. O'Con nor lost his fight for Democratic re- nomination, but was nominated by the Republicans, Stephen Early, presidential secre tary, said today the, president pre dicted la&t night O'Connor would win by 600 votes In the Democratic race over James H. Fay and lose in the Republican contest to Allen Dulles. The forecast was made orally about 9:30 p.m. EST, last night to Dr. Ross Mclntlre, presidential physician and Miss Margaret Lehand, the presi dent's personal secretary. Early said Mr. RooseVelt told him today to remind reporters personali ties were subordinated to the Issues In his attempt to unseat Democratic members of congress whom he con sidered too conservative. The president thought thete was nothing to .crow about in the New York result, Early added, and did not regard It as a victory. The president, still suffering from a head cold, remained In his study today. BY INDIAN, ISSUE PORTLAND, Sept. 3 1 - ( AP ) An Indian's right to bring horses across J;he border Into the United States without paying duty on them is at stake In a case being argued today before the federal circuit court of appeals.
