McAdoo, former director general of railroads, in a letter presented to the senate today by Senator Stanley, democrat, Kentuck who requested Mr. Mc- Adoo’s views after the commitee fused to hear him. The government is not “morally and legally hound'" as stated by President Harding to fund the $763,000,080 the railroads owe the government for ad- ditions and betterments, Mr. McAdoo asserted the president must have been misled into making such a statement,”” adding that the law provides for the funding only of “the remaining indebtedness’’ of the rail- roads, which he calculated at $263,- 000,000. Payment of this balance, Mr. Mc- Adoo said, may he deferred ten years by the railroads provided satisfacto security were given and 6 per cent. in- terest were paid. \ “This is the kind of setlement the law now authorizes and contemplates” Mr. McAdoo said, adding that when the ronds were returned control they owed the government $1, 144,000,000 for additions and better ments, of which $381,000,000 already has been extended for a long period. He urged that before any further ad- vances weare made the railroads be re- quired to abandon the nefficiency of labor' claims, amounting, he esti- mated at about $500,0005000. “I suppose you realize that dition to the $1,144,000,000 roads owe the government for ditions and betterments” they have received additional loans under the Esch-Cummins bill of about $300,- in ad- the “ad- Kelly Spring Tire Kennecott Cop. . fack Steel «high Val \Mex Petrol Vfidvale Steel ouri Pac Lead N Y Central NYNH&H..

Such securities as they may be able to provide; sccurities which in many nstances may not be adequate to protect the governmnt against loss. “This is nos a question of lezal or moral obligation on the part of the nited States to lend the railroads $500,000,000 more for ten years. It a question of policy and should be onsidered from that gtandpoint nly. For the adoption of such a policy the administwation must, of course take the responsibility, but it should be candid about it. The public mind should not be confused >y juggling of figures, mainpulation of accounts or securities or govern- mental agencies.” BAND CONCERT PROGRAM American Band Will Play at Walnut Hill Park—Popular and Classical Selections on Program.

The aircraft was operated by engines. She was estimated to have a cruising radius of 60 miles an hour giving a capacity to make an aggre- ate of 6,000 miles of uninterrupted flight. She had a capacity for officers and crew of 42 men. The gasoline supply was 10,900 gallons., It was estimated that she would cross the Atlantic in 72 hours. i The huge aircraft had four gondolas suspended from the framework. These provided sleeping accomodations for the officers and crew and an electri- cal apparatus for cooking meals. Her wireless set was expected to keep the monster craft in touch with both shores of the Atlantic and to have a radius exceeding 00 miles. When the ZR-2 started on her trial light from Howden Tuesday she had n-board Commander Louis H. Max. “eld, of the U. S. Navy, who haj been esignated by the American navy de- vartment to bring the ZR-2 from Eng- land to the United Statés; Brig. Gen. S. M. Maitland, the British air marshal and Col. Campbell, who supervised he work of designing the dirigible, five other American officers, seven engineers and four riggers, in addi- tion to the regular ritish crew. A London dispatch of Sunday last uoted the Observer as asserting that during the first trials of the ZR a tendency of the giant to “hump” de- veloped and that an inspection r vealed the fact that certain girders had bent and that lattice work had buckled under he strain. Remedial measures were taken, the newspaper said. $2,000.000 Purchase Price. The purchase price of the ZR-2 was to be $2,000,000. This, it is assumed was to become effective after the air- craft had completed her trials and was delivered to and accepted by the American authorities. The British air service had been careful, however, to avoid a premature delivery, as they had wished to be assured that everything connected with the struc- tural arrangement of the dirigible was in satisfactory condition.
