DEPRESSION “SIDETRACKING”; MANY DEVELOPMENTS REPORTED (Ny Annvet Press) NEW YORK, June 29.—Puffing along slowly, the railways emerge! from the first six months of 1933! to find business improving and the specter of monthly deficits gradu- ally vanishing: } Aside from the increasing load-! ings and earnings, the first half of 1933 was marked by two other major developments: A request{ by shippers ‘for reduced rates and} the appointment of Joseph B. Eastman as national coordinator of transportation, Traffic made a_ disappointing; showing until the end of April.! With loadings during the first four months averaging 15 percent be-/ low 1932, freight volume scored | a sudden and substantial advance} in the week of April 29, the de-| crease being whittled down to 3.3 percent. , “The improvement has been pro- gressive since that ‘date. In the} week of May 13, loadings for the first time this year, showed a gain over a year before, an advantage; retained in succeeding weeks. For! the first 23 weeks this year, the railroads handled 11,415,045 cars, a decrease of 9.4 percent as} against the like 1932 period. The trend -of earnings indicates | that the decline which started| late in 1929 may have been brok- en.

Eventual development of the Arkansas basin long has been a dream of residents of the 160,000- control, irrigation, water power, forestation of arid plains areas lands of the river’s lower reaches. Development Move Reawakens A regional society has grown ac- tive here again, and its president, Newt R. Graham, of Tulsa, has spent much time in Washington recently, urging Oklahoma con- gressmen and senators not to for- gct the Arkansas when develop- ment propects are talked or the new millions in public works money is apportioned. Long an_ enthusiast, Clarence B. Douglas, of special representative of the Colonel Tulsa, In- {land Waterways corporation, dis- cusses the possibility of barge line operation as far upstream as Tulsa, of irrigation for dry areas in western Kansas and eastern Colorado, and of power projects combined with flood control res- ervoirs. Rivers Are Prankish For 1,460 miles the Arkansas proper winds its tortuous way from Leadville, Colo., to Arkan- sas City, in the southeastern cor- ner of the state for which the riv- er is named, sometimes playing comic and tragic.

There is still agitation for re- ductions in electric power rates in many regions, but the utility ex- ecutives seem less oppressed by these threats than they were when the kilowatt load line was in rapid descent. _ Rate structures have been over-; hauled. in some sections, and fur- ther revisions are possible in the course of the last half of the year. : In the opinion of some analyists, however, rate -reductions so far! this year have been less numerous than in the last half of 1932. Not only has industrial output registered. a sharp pickup over the previous year, for the first time since 1930, but domestic sales are running at the smallest rate of de- | cline from 1932 since the cross- ing of the lines last November.
