An incipient move to rally rail and shipping interests of the country in opposition to the Roosevelt reorgani- gation program that would strip the Interstate Commerce Commission of its independent status was in evidence todsy as that agency observed the fiftieth year of its establishment. nitely a career service, elevating em- ployes from the lower brackets when & vacancy occurs higher up. Approximartely 800 guests, including the full commission, attended the dinner and heard the organization eulogized and proposals to dismember it assailed. Luther M. Walter of Chicago, trustee for the Chicago Great Western and general counsel for the National In- dustrial Traffic League, climaxed an attack on the reorganization plan by calling on his associates “to muster ourselves and carry to Congress the demand that the Interstate Commerce children at the State Orphanage here are “cured” with pretty dresses, silk stockings, natty ties and shirts. ‘We just naturally ‘act like it’ when we're dressed up,” explained Mrs. I. L. Huft, superintendent of the Western Oklahoma State Home for the 304 white children. “All of us are masquerading most of the time anyway.” About 25 girls were “going around with their shoulders stooped” and the doctor recommended that they wear shoulder braces. “I talked with the State Board of Affairs,” she said, “and got its con- sent to get tight-fitting silk dresses “hookey” from school constantly. “We took away his overalls, out- fitted him with dark trousers, a natty shirt and tie and he hasn’t played hookey since. “Boys like haircuts, neckties, belts jand dislike most of all overalls and awkward-looking shoes.” One girl was slovenly. She walked with her head down, her hair in her eyes. “When we get girls like that now we get them a hair wave,” related Mrs. Huff, “and then they take care of it, smartening themselves up.” Costume plays, base ball, foot ball and basket ball uniforms and, in one Country, Attended Mother.

Under the President’s plan, the I. C. C. would have its quasi-legislative- judicial and administrative functions separated, and, like others of the so- called independent agencies, would be put under some cabinet officer—in this instance, probably Commerce. Urges Autonomy Be Preserved. Particular attention was paid to this proposed split-up today by Allen P. Matthew of San Francisco, president of the practitioners, composed both of lawyers and laymen who present cases for carriers and shippers before the commission. Speaking at exercises held at the Government Auditorium, along with John E. Benton of Washington, gen- eral solicitor for the National Asso- ciation of Railroad and Utilities Com= missioners, Matthew said: “May there be no disassociation of the different units of service which have been welded by time and expe- rience into a homogenous whole. Above all, may nothing be done which would destroy or qualify, even in the slightest measure, the essential au- tonomy which has been allowed the commission for a half century—the automony which, as we cannot fail to know, is indispensable to the just exercise of the commission’s far- reaching and salutary powers.” Applauds Caliber of L C. C. Benton declared that the basic rea- son for the commission’s success has lain in the fact that the members “have been able and devoted to the public service” and have surrounded | - themselves with assistants of the same | caliber. | “May the day never come when the sélection and direction of that staff shall be taken from the commission,” he said, continuing: “It is & proud record which the In- terstate Commerce Commission has| made. The breath of scandal has never touched that commission. Its Jjudgments have never been swayed by political consideration. No one would claim that it has never been wrong, but it may be justly said that it has always endeavored to be right, and that it has been an able commission which has kept its course upon a high piane, and has justly earned the secure and exalted place it holds in the public confidence.” Matthew and Benton spoke at the ! morning session of a program which was continuing this afternoon and concluding tonight. Early Troubles Recalled. Some of the early personnel troubles | of the commission were recalled by George M. Crosland, assistant director of the Bureau of Traffic. At first, he said, the five commis- sioners—there now are 1l—appor- tioned appointments among them- selves, but later allowed members of Senate and House to make the selec- B R Gun style picture like Fun Wing or strai also in venti HAHN 14h & G o Tth e Jhe'BIG NOISE” s FLORSHEIM A brand new, exclusive Florsheim color that stands out in the Spring « . . .-Fine with the new gray and light blue spring suitings. a7, Tray/ Tri-Wear & Bend-Eesy 5.75 work.” Henry Wolf Bickle of Philadelphia, general counsel of the Pennsylvania system, also declared the commission is solely responsible to Congress, and that once the principles that have guided it through the 50 years “are destroyed. the decline of the Inter- state Commerce Commission or any other administrative agency will have begun.” Elmer A. Smith of Chicago, general counsel for the Illinois Central system, praised the “impartiality and open- mindedness of the commission in ap- proaching questions before it,” em- phasizing that every petitioner, whether great or small, is on the sams basis in appearing before this tribunai.
