RAIL DEATHS OF WANDERERS ARE MOUNTING Company Officials Are Helpless to Stem Heavy Toll. ThU is ihe fourth in * rrif. of artirle* hv formrr Nl Chief Pelham H. Glasaford, who ha. horn touring the • late, of the South and Southeast in* the problem rreated by hundred* of thou.anda of wandering boy* in thi* tountry. by GEN. PELHAM I). GLASSFORD ATLANTA, Ga . Jan. 28.—One of the youngest of the group to which I stood talking by a stalled freight train bore evidence of a nasty fall. His clothes were torn, and his face, beneath the dirt that caked it, badly lacerated. I could see that it was painful, but he was trying to assume a manly indifference. '“Taint nothing,’” he said. ‘T got It, hopping—slid down a bank.” He was luckier than thousands of others beating their way on' freight trains. The railroad casualties am mg the homeless and destitute wanderers are increasing in proportion to the traffic. The reports of a few of the larger roads approach 500 a month. Most of these are caused by jumping on or off moving trains. Denied access to a freight in the yards, the men and boys on the road line up along the right of way, and hop the train as it gathers headway. Again, as it .slows down they leap from it to avoid the yard policeman. Railroads Are Helpless Railroad officials realize the seriousness of this practice in mounting casualty claims, and, unable to stop it, have become more lax in their efforts to do so. W. J. Poole, chief of police for the Central of Georgia Railway, later in the day, at Macon, Ga., stated the railroads’ case, "We haven’t lost any passenger service, it has just been diverted to the freights,” he said. "We counted righ'y-five on No. 47, going to Atlanta. this morning.” Most of the travelers, in his ' opinion, are between 17 and 23 years old. "We don't bother them except in the freight yards,” he continued. "We had to put seventeen off one car in the yard today.” I corralled the youngster with Ihe scarred face, to take him along to Atlanta. The conductor, passing by. cursed the boys sympathetically. Hr warned them of what he wouid do if they built a fire in the car. Three Passengers Destitute Guy and I now had three passengers, three native-born American, well-mannered, upstanding youths, all completely destitute. The oldest, Stanley Lee, 22, from Cincinnati, was a linotype operator, heading for Miami where he had heard there might be a job. The second had been in the bond department of Harriman & Cos., in New York City for four years. The third and youngest claimed he was an auto mechanic, but I believe his experience purely was amateur. All three were high school graduates. In Atlanta. I found a crowd of hungry migrants gathered around the City Relief Center where free food is served twice a day. Soup, milk, bread and coffee are handed out—not very filling, but accepted as a godsend. Jail Is House of Refuge Here I talked to tw’o boys from Pennsylvania, who weie looking for a place to sleep. They told me they had tried the jail, but there were too many ahead of them. To verify their statement, they took me to the city hall. The turnkey admitted me behind the bars, and I saw the long aisleway between the cells, less than six feet wide, where more than thirty, locked in j for the night, lay stretched on the concrete floor. I can understand why Atlanta, i with 19,000 families existing on charity. lacks the funds to provide more comfortable shelter for impoverished non-residents. But it remains a tragic commentary upon our American social structure that the jail, where the social offender is penalized, should ; become a house of refuge.

CENTRALIZED WEALTH ATTACKED BY OXNAM National Upheaval May Result, Warns lie Pauw President. Centralization of wealth in the hands of the few, and failure to remove social fault lines in America, j will be the chief factors in a national upheaval unless corrected, said Dr. G. Bromley Oxnam, president of De Pauw university, at a meeting Friday of the Exchange Club. The nation's greatest danger, he said, is that its .masses, not given intelligent leadership, will follow demagogues who will steer the way to disaster. He pointed out there is no justification for the typos of pessimism • which causes men to think the end of modern civilization is at hand. He urged America to take warning from the experiences of other nations which did not remove social faults until the upheaval came.

Roosevelt's Elusive Replies to Queries Puzzle Press Fails to Discuss Matters Candidly in His Dealings With Press Representatives. BY RAY TUCKER Times Staff Writer

WARM SPRINGS. Jan. 28.—Although a delightful personality, Presi-dent-Elect Roosevelt is beginning to puzzle and perplex those newspaper correspondents, who have been assigned to “cover" him only recently. With all due allowance for his desire to choose his cabinet and formulate major policies without too much ballyhoo, his refusal to answer direct questions and his elusive responses at times grate on the nerves of the newspaper correspondents. It also accounts for various discrepancies which may be discovered in reports of his doings the last few weeks of his life as a private citizen.

Mr. Roosevelt, unlike President Hoover, is most cordial at his press conferences, and conducts them in a friendly atmosphere. The gang sits on the floor, still calls him “Governor," and an air of camaraderie prevails. But his calling of the reporters by their first names, though rather enjoyable, does not compensate for his failure to discuss matters candidly. lakes to Puzzle Them For instance, he told them no progressive had protested against the inclusion of certain men in the cabinet, whereas the correspondents had been informed by certain senators that they themselves had entered earnest protests. It is obvious that the Presidentelect is quite proud of his catch-as-catch-can cleverness in dealing with the press. He likes to puzzle them, and he takes enjoyment in the ques-tion-and-answer game. He, of course, is entitled to withhold important details which can not be announced in advance. But the belief lessens that he will quietly take the country into his confidence concerning the “new deal,” and rely on the integrity and intelligence of the press for co-opera-tion. Same Deal With Politicians His contacts with the press, which always is somewhat insistent, could be dismissed as of little importance if it were not for the fact that the same relationship exists between him and the politicians. Because of his numerous promises and variegated backers in the campaign, the President-elect already is finding it difficult to ride both a conservative and a liberal horse at the same time. A few days ago there was written something about Senator Huey P. Long’s worry over the fact that, in response to the presentation of completely contrasting programs by three different men, Mr. Roosevelt said: “Fine, fine—that's fine.’’ Another senator, who shall be nameless, puts it this way: “The other Roosevelt used to say ‘bully.’ This one says 'fine.' ” It has been reported that the United States government is engaged in more than 300 lines of industry in competition with citizens.

Secret Move Hoovers Already Trucking Goods Away; Pictures Are Banned.

By ITnited Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—Although the Hoovers’ official moving day still is more than a month away, most of their private documents and bulky goods already have been trucked away from the White House. The packing and moving are being done as quietly as possible, and surrounded with considerable secrecy. For several weeks, newspaper photographers tried to get a picture of some of the packing cases being trundled away. The boxes were always slipped out a side door when the picture makers weren’t looking. Thursday, however, the cameramen thought they had triumphed, for they finally got a picture of a load being taken away. The secret service promptly telephoned all the picture agencies and demanded that the photographs be suppressed. The reason for the ban was not disclosed. More than twenty tons of the Hoovers’ packing cases are piled up under guard at the navy yard, awaiting shipment to the Hoover home at Palo Alto, Cal. They include eighty-one filing cases crammed with the President’s private papers and boxes of other documents and mementoes which will be put on display at Stanford university.

CORAL WORKERS ARE OVERRATED Plants, Not Animals, Build Most of Atolls, Says Investigator. Bji Science Service NEW YORK, Jan. 28.—The "little coral workers” celebrated in the old-time moralistic nursery verses have been getting more credit than they deserve as builders of islands. So it would appear, at least, from data offered by Dr. Marshall A. Howe, assistant director of the New York botanical garden, in a radio talk delivered under auspices of Science Service. Plants, not coral animals, do the lion’s share of the work in building so-called coral islands and atolls, Dr. Howe indicated. He cited one detailed study made on a South Sea island, where two kinds of limesecreting seaweed occupied first and second places, respectively, as limestone builders, with third place going to a group of one-celled animals known as the foraminifera, and the corals coming in fourth. He backed this with similar observations elsewhere, including a semi-enforced study of the richness of lime-secreting bottom vegetation made by himself once when becalmed for two days ought of sight of land, in a small boat on the Bahama banks. Dr. Howe did not deny the claims of the coral animals to a considerable part in reef and island formation, and to a dominance in some places, such as the Great Barrier reef of northeastern Australia. But he is convinced that in the formation of many, if not most, of the so-called coral reefs or islands lime-secreting plants—the algae—have contributed more than have the corals.

BOOST COST OF NAVY’S NEW AIRPLANE CARRIER While Economy Is Urged, Congress Moves to Spend 21 Millions on Ship. 81l Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—The house appropriations committee is making slashes right and left in departmental appropriations, but the house naval affairs committee just has reported favorably a bill to increase by $2,000,000 the cost of the new navy aircraft carrier Ranger. If the this bill passes, and it has the backing of the navy, the administration and the naval committee. this new vessel will cost a total of $21,000,000. It appears, from the committee report, that while the Ranger might be completed under the original $19,000,000 authorization, the additional two .million is to modernize it.

By Science Service LONDON, jan. 28.—The time designations of a. m. and p. m. will be obsolete and the hours run from 9 to 24 in British postoffices if a proposal before the house of lords finds approval. The movement for continuous numeration of the hours has the support of Sir F. W. Dyson, ; the astronomer royal, who says that there is no valid objection against the 24-hour system which is less confusing and has been in use on the European continent for a long time. Astronomers and other scientists already use the 24-hour notation, with 0 at midnight and 13 o'clock corresponding to old-fashioned 1 p. m.

COBANS POSH MOVE FOR NEW ISLAND REGIME Organization Charges That Conditions Are Worst in History. BY' WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON. Jan. 28.—1n the hope that the Roosevelt administration will act to put an end to the reign -of terror and the "dictatorship” of President Machado in Cuba, a Cuban American Friendship Council has been organized here "to keep the American people posted."’ The organization charges that conditions in the island are, if anything. worse now than they were in the heyday of Spain's "Butcher” Weyler, and claims "the Cuban people must have the aid of the United States today just as they had in 1898, in order that they again be freed.” Disclaiming any connection whatever with any Cuban party or faction, whether for or against Machado, the council asserts its complete independence, and avows its one aim is to work for the return of a constitutional regime. It promises its aid to any and all groups with a similar objective. Its head is Fernando Ortiz, expresident of the Economic Society of Havana; ex-professor at the University of Havana, and editor of Revista Bimestre Cubana. Say Treasury Pillaged Eduardo J. Chibas, former president of the Havana Rotary Club, is vice-president; Rafael Cabrera, sugar planter and former Cuban congressman, is director, and Herminio Portell Vila, professor of Cuban history, University of Havana, secretary. “Outstandingly important among the matters of vital concern to both Cubans and Americans,” declares the council’s first manifesto, “is Che dictatorship of General Machado. Elected president in 1925 he has continued to maintain himself in power “by force and fraud with tragic consequences” to the republic. The council charges that assassinations “occur daily,” that the public treasury is being “pillaged,” and that the judiciary is being threatened. Admittedly “the vital system of Cuba’s wealth is controlled by American citizens,” but it points out, “these gigantic interests also, on the other hand, must accept their corresponding responsibilities and obligations.”

Four Basic Points The council proposes that “American diplomacy promptly withdraw its support from the despotic administration of General Machado,” and hopes ‘‘that certain American business men who have given their support to Machado in the past will realize the lack of wisdom of their course” and henceforth assist in the revival of orderly, free government in the island. “Four basic points” upon which the council insists are: 1. “Retirement of the usurping, despotic and cruel rule of Machado and his co-responsible cabinet.” 2. Retirement of the present congress as illegal. 3. Establishment of a “transitory government headed by an impartial Cuban,’ aided by a provisional legislative council. 4. Anew constitution, restored peace and order, budgetary reforms, removal of martial law, and restoration of full jurisdiction to the civil courts. ‘ROUND WORLD’ IN CITY Indianapolis Postoffice Trucks Travel 174,751 Miles in Last Year.

Clancy said the department saved about $2,300 by borowing trucks for Christmas deliveries from Ft. Benjamin Harrison and the national guard.
