Republican, Delaware, and Glass, Democrat, Virginia 5 James E Stewart of South Dakota was named to assume personal direction of the inquiry, which has iously been ~onducted by William A. Gray of Philadelphia. Sees Need of Laws. In a Zormal statement announcing the appointment of the subcommittee, Nor- beck sa'd in his opinion Federal legi lation was necessary to curb abuses on the stock market. “These abuses could be corrected by the Stock Exchange itself.” he said., “They could be corrected by the laws | of the State of New York and the| failure to act places the burden upon Congress.” | Norbeck said the Summer would be devoted chiefly to gathering evidence for hearings at the next session of Congress, but_that hearings would be held during the Summer when neces- sary. . Two Members Dropped. { In selecting the subcommittee to handle the inquiry. Norbeck chose two| members of the Steering Committee, | which has handled the investigation | previously, but left off two other mem- | bers, Senator Couzens, Republican, Michigan, and Fletcher, Democrat, | Florid S5 Couzens was opposed to continuing the inquiry during the Summer. i Norbeck said he would leave for South | Dakota within a week and that Stew-) art would be in charge of the inquiry, subject to the direction of the sub- committee.

Police Are Co-Operating. The Police Department of the District of Columbia has been called upon and is co-cperating with the Veterans' Ad- ministration in taking precaution to se- cure assurance that there is a bona fide intention on the part of the applicant to go home. Careful check is made of license numbers, make of car and sup- posed occupants, and the gas and cil allswance is given only to the driver of ithe car and one passenger. All actual occupants of the car receive the sub- sistence allowance of 75 cents a day, on the basis of days of travel. Railroad mileage is the basis for the gas and cil allowance. Once the veteran's application for any form of transpcrtation is made, it is filed in his adjusted compensation file, where it would certainly speak for itsel if the veteran returned after an interve to the Veterans’ Administration and at- tempted to secure transportation the second time. “Veteran Himself Charged.” “Under any circumstances” Gen. fines said, “it must be remembered that the veteran himself s charged with the cost. since all allowances are deducted without interest from the face value of his certificate.” With reference to repeated allega- tions that many veterans living in near- by States are registering as from the Far West, and obtaining transportation thereto, Gen.

IRAIL HEADS STRIKE AT WASTE ONLINES Reforms Aimed at Destruc- tive Competition—*“Dicta- tor” Is Proposed. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 19.—The Advisory Committee of the association of Rail- way Executives met here today to con- sider a draft of reforms designed to reduce competitive waste in the rail- road industry. The program submit- ted was the work of a subcommittee of the assoclation, headed by Daniel Wil- lard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co. Other members of Mr. Willard's com- mittee were Carl Gray, president of the Union Pacific, and J. J. Pelley, presi- dent of the New York, New Haven & Hartford. The advisory committee’s recommendations will be submitted to a general meeting of the association tomorrow. Merger Is Proposed. One of the most drastic suggestions in the program calls for a merger of the Association of Railway Executives and the American Railway Association into an enlarged body to co-ordinate efforts toward improvements by ind: i vidual railroads throughout the country. It was not disclosed whether the sub- committee had approved this suggestion. It was said in railroad circles that the subcommittee’s report covered such aspects of competition as excessive pas- | senger service, destructive rate cutting, | unprofitable branch line operations, un- economical buying of supplies, maint nance of too many stations and the circuitous movement of freight cars. Dictator Idea Advanced. One of the questions which railroad executives are understood to have been nsidering is the appointment of a ictator” or commission to hold un- usual executive powers, but it is regard- ed as doubtful that many rail presi- dents would be willing to give strong powers to such a central authority. Those present at the Advisory Com- mittee meeting included R. H. Aishton, chairman; W. W. Atterbury, Elisha Lee and C. B. Heiserman of the Pennsyl vania; Herbert Fitzpatrick, general coun- sel, Chesapeake & Ohio; W. R. Cole. president of the Louisville & Nashvill L. A.
