I. G. C. TRUCK CONTROL BILL PIGEON-HOLED Measure Urged by Eastman Will Be Considered Next Year. BY NED BROOKS Times Special Writer WASHINGTON. June I.—Pigeonholed for this session, the administration's program for bringing motor and water transportation under federal control promises to be one of the major problems for congress to wrestle with next year. Joseph B. Eastman, federal coordinator of transportation and author of the plan, is determined that it shall not be allowed to die. The present plight of the railroads, he believes, makes it necessary that their two most important competitors be drawn within the jurisdiction of the interstate commerce commission. The press of other administration measures was given by Senator Dill iDem., Wash.) and Representative Rayburn <Dem., Tex.),.chairmen of the senate and house interstate commerce committees, as the reason for their having sidetracked the program at this session. Eastman Plan The Eastman plan, accompanied by proposed legislation, was submitted to congress by the I. C. C. ten weeks ago. A bill for regulation of trucks and busses had been introduced in the house earlier by Mr. Rayburn. Hearings were started but they were suspended when the committee gave right-of-way to the stock market bill. The plan was embodied in two bills introduced in the senate by Senator Dill, but no hearings w r ere held because the cqmihittee was occupied w’ith the communications bill. Leading bus lines, motor truckers’ organizations and waterways associations have directed a vigorous lobby against the Eastman program. The national rivers and harbors congress, meeting here recently in its annual convention, adopted a resolution condemning federal regulation of waterways. -The plan for motor transportation regulation proposes utilization of the knowledge of state officials in local problems. It provides for establishment of joint boards to which u’ould be referred substantially all matters of administration arising under the act. The reference of such matters is mandatory in all cases where not more than three states are involved and is optional in other cases. Would Designate Routes common carriers would be compelled to obtain certificates of public convenience and necessity in the same manner as required of railroads. The bill provides for the designation of routes and terminals and imposes regulation of rates and fares in the same manner in which I. C. C. controls rail charges. The commission also would be required to approve consolidations of large bus or trucking companies. .The water carrier bill aims at the control of minimum rates, more orderly distribution of tonnage and improvement of service to the publiic. It requires that passenger fares and freight rates be published and that the changes be free from unreasonaole preference to any person, company or locality. To prevent overtonnage of routes and to stabilize operations and rates, the bill provides that common water carriers shall obtain certificates of public convenience and necessity.

With thousands of their best troops dead, Bolivia and Paraguay have rebuffed all peace moves and are reported massing their armies for one of the greatest battles of their savage struggle for the Gran Chaco, which has raged since June, 1932. The Gran Chaco, shown in the upper part of the map in its relative location to Bolivia and Paraguay, and below with its principal strongholds designated, has an area of 115,000 square miles, about the size of Arizona. Dispute over ownership of this swampy, jungle-clad region has flared at intervals for a century.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MUNICIPAL GOLF LINKS ATTRACT RECORDTHRONG Revenue for First 6 Weeks of This Year Amounts to $22,432. More people are playing on the municipal golf courses this year than ever before, the park board announced today. For the first six weeks of this year, the revenue from the six golf courses has soared from last year’s figure of $15,335 to the new record iotal of $22,432. On the basis of the increased revenues, the park board announced that it would consider bids for new hose to water the greens, parched by the hot sun of this year. Golf professionals, meeting with the board today, declared that the municipal courses have only half enough hose for the greens and unless better watering facilities are provided many of the greens will be ruined. Hugh Walden Middlesworth, recreation director, announced the opening date for thirty-six city playgrounds as June 15. The personnel will remain about the same as last year, Mr. Middlesworth announced. Appointments will be made by the board at the meeting next week. Applicants for life guard positions at the five city pools and two municipal beaches will receive tryouts at 2 tomorrow afternoon in the Butler university pool. Mount Cornelia, on Fort George island at the mouth of the St. Johns river, is the highest point on the Atlantic coast south of Cape Henry.
