RAIL MERGERS 1 AGAIN PROBLEM FOR CONGRESS Ctear Stand Will Be Asked on Who Shall Decide Consolidations. BY LEO R. SACK WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.—Proposed consolidation of railroad properties, a subject which has agitated railroad and financial circles for six months, is scheduled to interest the coming session of Congress. Congress will be asked to say clearly whether railroads are to be consolidated as the railroads themselves would do it, or whether the Interstate Commerce Commission will be charged specifically with their grouping. The commission has on three occasions disapproved consolidations submitted by interested carriers, while the railroads have shown no enthusiasm for a tentative consolidation report prepared for the commission by Professor William Z. Ripley of Harvard. Fourth Plan Up The commission now has before it a fourth unification plan which |ft may dispose of before Congress Convenes, whereby the Chesapeake <& Ohio would'acquire control over the Pere Marquette and Erie railroads. Other carriers are awaiting a more propitious time to submit their merger plans. Regardless of whether this C. & O. merger, backed by the Van Sweringen interests, is approved, .imposition of the entire subject probably will not be attempted until Congress speaks more clearly than it did in the 1920 transportation act. V" Action of Bill A bill relieving the commission of the mandatory features of the existing law and allowing railroads to make voluntary njerger applications was considered in the last Congress. It was reported favorably to the Senate; but no action was taken. A similar bill will be introduced in the coming Congress and earnest efforts will be made to get a definite vote, either directing the commission to merge the railroads or permitting the carriers to do so themselves, with approval of the commission. / ADVERTISERS CONVENE Financial Group of United States and Canada Meets at West Baden.

BORIS MAY GET WALES’JIRLIE Bulgaria’s King Hunts Bride in English Preserves. By United Press LONDON, Sept. 13.—King Boris of Bulgaria, the Prince of Wales’ only rival as a persistent bachelor, has arrived suddently in Wales’ home preserves on his hunt for a bride. Gossips, confuted because they had picked Princess Martha of Sweden as Boris’ bride, are wondering whether the Bulgarian monarch has been reading newspaper stories about the number of girls who would like to marry Wales, and is planning to offer himself as a substitute. They would like to think up something about rivalry between the two royal bachelors, but Wales shows no signs of entering the contest. Several weeks ago King Boris left Sofia, his capital, on what was said openly to be a bride hunt. His bachelordom, it has been hinted is involuntary. But this time, it was reported, King Boris is determined to find an occupant for the vacant throne beside him. He even traveled incognito —as Count Rilski—in order that the divinity that st'll hedges kings over here would no tramp his style.

EX-OKLAHOMA OFFICER LOSES HIS TAX SUIT Attorney for State, But Not Official, Appeals Board Rules. Bti Times Special WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.—An expert employed by a State to perform a special service is not a public official and therefore he must pay income tax on the compensation received.

Fee for his services was fixed at $15,000, although it was estimated he litigation would continue three years. Freeling contended, also, that the fee was three years’ pay, but because it was received In a lump sum the board held it was income taxable in 1922. SOLONS GUESTS OF JFILIPINOS Three Groups of Congressmen Study Islands. By United Press MANILA, Sept. 13.—Thirty-one American Congressmen and Senators have “observed and studied the political situation and the economic possibilities of the' Philippines" during the 1927 vacation season. They arrived In three separate groups. Three times within two months the constabulary band marched down to Manila’s biggest pier and played Annie Laurie as the legislators came ashore. In spite of the earnest hospitality which characterized all residents of the Philippines, “unfortunate incidents” occurred during the visit of each group which are likely to echo in the Seventieth Congress. Some led to serious controversies and others will lose their seriousness before December. It will be many years before Representative Carew’s vitriolic attacks on American officials and the American population in the Philippines are forgotten. Most of the visitors have left Manila resolved to explain the situation to Congress next winter and demand action on the Philippines. They differ widely in their views of t' 3 situation an<S what constitutes action. In general the Republicans opposed all Independence plans while the Democrats were sympathetic.
