A5 & EXPANSION NEEDS OF RAILS ARE TOLD Nearly Billigny & figg Re- quirea for mprovements, Budd Says. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, June 15.—The railroads of the country ended their first cele- bration of “railroad week” today with & plea and a promise. “We are just awakening to the possibilities that are available to us in the improvement of speed and service and can promise more of both in the future” said Ralph Budd, president of the: Chicago, Burling- ton and Quincy road. “We now know where we can spend | money and experience &' return in business and we know whau we should | spend. i “For an indefinite period it wfll‘ take nearly a billion dollars a year to make rail travel all it should be.” Plans for Future. The plea of the roads, Budd said. was connected with their plans for the future and the public’s part in them. It was: “Don't do anything that makes it cost more to railroads.” “Anything like that would inter- | fere with the great plans the roads are enthusiastically developing,” said Budd. Of the huge expenditures annually needed. Budd said $250,000,000 could be utilized every year for replacing old freight cars with modern, lighter ones, New Locomotives. | “We need $300.000.000 a year for | new locomotives to take the place of | those not strictly modern,” he added. “It is more economical to purchas: the new more efficient engines than to repair the older types. “We have spent $40.000,000 air-con- ditioning passenger cars ¢nd have only touched the main lines. “We could spend $100.000,000 in new shop equipment and should buy $100,000,000 worth of track steel an- nually.” . Social Security (Continued From First Page.) Board a branch of the Labor Depart- ment, and giving the Children's Bu- reau jurisdiction over the Federal grants for child welfare. The only committee amendment postponed until tomorrow was the new title to allow individual citizens to pur- chase bonds from the Treasury to pro- vide themselves with old-age annuity insurance. This was intended to bene- fit farmers, professional men or others who would not come under the Fed- eral contributory old-age system for those regularly employed in industries. This old-age annuity bond feature is facing some opposition. Tariff Revision Asked. Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of Michigan, raised a new issue yesterday when he proposed an amendment to provide for an automatic revision of tariff rates to protect American indus- tries from the -effects of the increase in the cost of production in this coun- try resuiting from the social security pay roll taxes. Pointing out that by 1945 these pay roll taxes will have added about $2,.- 000,000.000 to the cost of production, Vandenberz said some arrangement | for adjusting tariff rates would be essential if American industries are to be protected. He said the reason a Nation-wide Federal ray roll tax was proposed as the means of inducing | the States to enact unemployment | insurance laws was Lo protect States | enacting such laws from the trade | disadvantage they otherwise would | suffer if neighboring States did not enact insurance laws. He argued | there probably will be as much need | to protect American industry as a| whole in international trade, by re- vising tariffs, after the social security taxes have been in operation for a number of years. emendment over the week end The Senate also will be called on tomorrow to vote on Senator Huey Long's proposed heavy tax on fortunes above $1,700,000 to obtain revenue to place the cost of the old-age gratuities on the Federal Government to make larger numbers eligible for pensions by lowering the age limit. | While Long is proposing this far- | reaching liberalization of the bill to carry out his share-the-wealth doc- trine, a counter move probably will be made in an opposite direction to | narrow the scope of the bill. Senator | Hastings, Republican, of Delaware has indicated he regards the com- pulsory, ccntributory old-age annuity | section and the plan of inducing the States to adopt unempioyment in- surance by the medium of a Federal pay roll tax as unconstitutional. Sen- ate leaders belive, however, the bill will pass in substantially its present | form. Blind Pension Broadened. Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New York, author of the bill. had several amendments adopted yesterday to broaden the scope of the blind pen- sion features. In support of the Senate's action in making the separate company re- serve plan of unemployment insur- ance optional, along with the pooled- fund system, Senator La Follette, ‘Wisconsin progressive, placed in the record & summary of the two systems. His State, the first to adopt unem- ployment insurance, has the individ- ual company reserve plan, with re- ductions in the employer’s contribu- tion when he stabilizes employment. Asserting that each system has cer- tain advantages, La Follette said the assumption that the separate reserve account is inferior to the other method is not based on any actual experience, but is only theoretical. Pointing out that the prevention of unemployment is “more important than merely paying insurance after unemployment occurs, La Follette emphasized that the Senate amend- men will encourage industries to stabilize work by shortening hours when business becomes slack, instead of laying off men. Starting at 3 o'clock tomorrow, de- bate on the bill will be curtailed, with each Senator limited to 30 minutes on each amendment and 45 minutes on the bill. Japanese Publisher Buys Plane.

ONOLULU, Hawali—A letter written to The Washington Star by a subsc:iber had the effect, 44 years ago, of “mech- )" according to al lights of that day, the police depart- ment of Homolulu, then capital of an independent kingdom. \ ‘The letter, it was revells by a recent search of police department history, was copled by the Pacific | Commercial Advertiser, pioneer pub- | lieation in Honolulu, with a sugges- tion that the idea it conveyed might well be applied there. The Yesult was that Honolulu policemen soon after- ward found themselves mounted on | bicycles. Here is the letter: “By mounting the police force on tricycles the efficiency of the service can be more than doubled with a comparatively small outlay. By this means an officer will be able to cover his beat two or three times where he | now covers it once, and with con- | siderable less fatigues “The tricycle is better suited than the bicycle, as it requires less atten- tion on the part of the rider, and con- A.

It seems quite remarkable that the smooth streets of this city have so long counted for nothing so far as the police service is concerned. “The tricycles would be entirely safe while officers are making arrests, as with the policede partment stainp upon them no thief would be so bold as to aftempt to steal them, “Mounted in this manner the offi- cers would have better control over.the fast and reckless driving that takes place in this city, so much to the in- jury and discomfort of pedestrians. “On foot an officer has little chance of overhauling a fast driver, but mounted on a wheel he can give chase and make arrests. The adoption of the wheel would undoubtedly lead to a more ‘effective police service in every respeg). ari” ‘The police progressiveness shown in those early days seems still to prevail in Homolulu. This is schown in the fact that its present police depart- ment has been taken entirely out of politics, placed under a commission which has employed a technically trained chief from the mainland. A | school of police administration has been established in the University of Hawali from which trained men grad- uate to the force. Among other things it teaches fingerprinting. identific: tion, the court procedure and la necessary to a policeman, public speak- ing and etiquette. —_— Crater Zoo for Tourists.
