B—10 =x= RAIL BILL AWAITS AGTION BY HOUSE Many Amendments Predicted Before Measure Is Passed Late in Week. ! B the Associated Press. With drastic changes forecast in the measure as it passed the Senate, the | Sdministration rail bill today was | awaiting House action. ‘There were reports, for which there was no full official confirmation, that | President Roosevelt had been asked to withdraw his support from the measure, passed Saturday by the Senate, in order that a new plan could be proposed. This substitute, for which there is considerable House support, simply would repeal the law requiring railroads to give half of their excess earnings to the Government and would put rafl- holding companies under the control of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Object to Amendments. Objectors to the bill approved by the | Senate argued that amendments insert- ed there would defeat one of the pur- | poses of the legislation. They would | prevent sizeable economies, it was said, | by forbidding wage cuts or the dis- | charge of employes in_reorganizations approved by the new Federal co-ordi- | nator. The adm tration's answer to this, argument was repcrted to be that there | are only about 1,200,000 rail employes and the bill even now would make it possible to lay off around 50,000 a year through retirements, resignations, deaths and the like. Furthcrmore, economies are expected | by lgopxw ‘Tlsthe bill through a pooling itie Despite tinese arguments, and without referring to any specific Senate amend- ment, Representative Byrns of Tennes- see, the House Democratic leader, pre- dicted: “It is likely the House will make a considerable number of changes in the bill before pessing it.” Chairmen Rayburn of the Interstate Ccmmerce Committee expects the com- mittee to take the bill up by Wednesday at the latest, so some decision may be reached this week Arrangements have been made by the House leadership for floor action Thursday or Friday if a bill does come out of the committee. The opinion of many members was summarized by Representative Huddle- sfon of Alabama, ranking Democrat on Rayburn’s committee, who said: “The railroads are against the bill with the Senate labor amendments: or- ganized labor is against it without them. I understand the President has made some commitments to both, but just how far those commitments have gone is the question. “It seems that under the bill as it row stands labor would hold its own, t1e railroads would not save any money nd_the public would gain nothing. ‘Personally, I would just as soon ass it up in its present form.” —_— “0STELLO MEMORIAL SERVICE TOMORROW verican Legion Post to Pay Tribute to First D.

All sorts of trick names and statements are being used to insinuate that regular gasolines have premium qualities. It is an insult to your common sense to tell you that. We believe in selling motor products for exactly what they are. . No amount of “special naming” or sales arguments can make a special motor fuel out of a regular gasoline! ‘This company has the resources, the organization, the willingness to give you the best value that can be offered. More than this no one can offer. No amount of ballyhoo can change the gasoline itself. That's the real answer! American Oil Company products are honestly described.
