THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

REDUCE BONDS, RAILWAYS TOLD BY ROOSEVELT Federal Ownership Threat Renewed as Cabinet Probe Looms. BY RUTH FINNEY Times Special Writer. WASHINGTON, April 21.—Railroads need no crystal ball to tell them what lies just ahead now that the' President has decided to take a hand in their affairs. They need only the Salt Lake City speech which Mr. Roosevelt delivered in September, 1932, when he was campaigning for the presidency. There he set forth his views on railroads at great length and ■warned railroad managements just what to expect if they didn’t set about housecleaning of their own at once. Joseph Eastman, federal co-or-dinator of transportation, who seeems to be moving into the background of the „ picture with appointment of a cabinet committee to survey the problem, did not adhere closely to the lines of the Salt Lake City speech in making his recent report on transportation. The thing Mr. Roosevelt emphasized in his campaign speech, and to which Mr. Eastman devoted little attention in his report, was the need for scaling down fixed charges—in other words, reduction of interest payments on bonds. Tlie President proposed tfiat railroads begin this task at once. He pointed out that more than $11,000,000,000 of railroad bonds are outstanding, nearly $5,000,000,000 of which are owned by banks and insurance companies. “Railroad securities in general mujt not be allowed to drift into default,” Mr. Roosevelt said. The damage done to savings banks, insurance companies and fiduciary institutions generally would be too great.” He proposed that government credit be withheld from railroads which refused to scale down their fixed charges. Now that railroads almost have stopped borrowing from the RFC, he has had to provide himself with another weapon, and he has found it in the threat of government ownership. The President has made it clear, however, that he looks to this only as a last resort. A heavy percentage of railroad

capitalization is in bonds rather than stock. Seventy-two per cent of the securities of the Missouri Pacific, now in receivership, were bonds. For the Illinois Central the proportion in 1932 was 70 per cent; for the Baltimore & Ohio, 65 per cent; New York Central, 57 per cent; Pennsylvania, 47 per cent; Southern Pacific, 52 per cent; Santa Fe, 46 per cent. If the companies were financed by stock rather than issuance of bonds, dividends would be paid only when business warrants. Bonds call for payment of interest no matter what happens to revenues. This same Salt Lake City speech indicates that bills for regulation of motor carriers and inland water transportation may be added to the program of “must” legislation before adjournment of this congress.

FOURTH SPRING CONCERT SET BY SYMPHONY Small Charge Decided On to . Recoup Loss Suffered by Musicians. As part of its program of bringing good music to Indanapolis, the Indianapolis Symphony orchestra will give its anual spring popular concert at the Murat theater. May 8, under the direction of Ferdinand Schaefer, organizer and director. This will be the fourth concert of this type given by the organization and it follows the regular winter series of five concerts. In previous years the spring music festival concert was free to the public, but this year it is planned to make a charge of 50 cents. A large part of the money intended to pay members of the orchestra, who receive a small amount for their year's service, is tied up by banking restrictions. Sponsors of the orchestra hope to make up this deficit in part by the nominal charge for the spring concert. Tickets will be on sale at the department stores, at the Wilking Music Company, 120 East Ohio; at Gladys Alwes Music Shop in the Circle and at the Kirshbaum Center, or they may be obtained by sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope to the headquarters of the symphony society at the Wilking company.

$1,050,000 FOR LYNCHING ASKED r Widow of Victim Sues Gov. Rolph and 109 Others in Hart Case. By United Press SAN FRANCISCO. April 21. Damages of $1,050,000 were sought today from 110 defendants, includj ing Governor James Rolph Jr. in I an unusual aftermath of the lynchj ing of two confessed kldnap-slay- { ers by a mob at San Jose last fall. The suit was filed here by Mrs. i Evelyn Holmes, widow of one of the I victims. Governor Rolph was drawn into i the case on charges by the plainI tiff that he had violated his oath I of office by an alleged public decia- | ration that he would not send troops I to protect John Holmes and Thomas Thurmond, tht accused kidnapers of Brooke Hart, and that later he hah said he would pardon any persons convicted of taking part in the lynchings. Others named in the damage action included the San Jor. c News and a radio station, accused of inflaming mob passions; Sheriff William Emig, who was injured in defending the prisoners; several citizens of San Jose, alleged to have been identified from pictures of the crowd, and 100 John Does, including policemen and persons not yefc identifed.
