Bruckart’s Washington Digest
President Promises Legislation
To Relieve Railroad Situation
Thoroughgoing Re-Examination of Rail Problems Essential
to Finding Reasonable Solution; Competition Cuts
Earnings; Public Has Responsibility to Bear.
By WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service, National Press Bldg., Washington, D. C.
WASHINGTON.—I believe it can
be said that most readers of news-
papers "digest” their news rather
slowly. It is not their fault en-
tirely that the full significance of a
Hews story escapes them even
though it may be spread under black
headlines on the front page. Nor
do I mean to say that all readers
are lax. It seems to be true, never-
theless, that days or weeks or even
months and years may pass some-
times before the intangible person-
ality that we call "the public” has
considered fully the significance of
reported events.
Existence of this condition, how-
ever, is warrant for an attempt at
analysis of what has happened, what
Is happening, and what is likely to
happen in the railroad industry.
Perhaps that statement should have
added to it the suggestion also that
there will be something affecting the
public, too, in connection with the
recent series of incidents and events
directly concerning the rail indus-
try. indeed, prospective develop-
ments portend even more.
There were, of course, the many
dangers of a financial character
with which the railroads were be-
set. There followed the attempt of
railroad management to reduce ex-
penses by a program cutting wages
of the workers by 15 per cent, and
there came almost immediately
thereafter the dread specter of a
strike threat by the million or more
rail workers who are highly union-
ized. After that, in the sequence of
events was President Roosevelt’s
utilization of the law providing for
consideration of the differences by a
fact finding commission for the first
time.
It is necessary only as a further
review to recall that the fact find-
ing commission heard days of testi-
mony and reported to the President
that a wage cut was unjustified.
But the commission made no con-
structive suggestions. As a„ matter
of fact, jt added nothing to the total
of human knowledge, but it got a
lot of publicity for its findings.
Legislation to Relieve
Railroads Up to Congress
The problem was, thereupon, left
to Mr. Roosevelt's lap. He called
in the representatives of the rail
managements and the leaders of the
unions. The rail executives were
willing to call off the proposed’wage
cut, if there were any way to be
found to keep the railroads from
going bankrupt—more than half of
the mileage being already in the
hands of receivers. Union leaders
reiterated they did not want to strike
and they did want the railroads to
get on their feet, because it meant
jobs. J. J. Pelley, spokesman for
the rail lines, asked then what the
government could or would do, and
Mr. Roosevelt promised legislation.
So there we are today. There will
be no strike. There will be consid-
eration of rail legislation in the next
session of congress that will be de-
signed to help the railroads so they
will have at least as much income
as expense. And it will be sup-
ported by Mr. Roosevelt’s adminis-
tration, by the railroads and by the
railroad unions.
But I am wondering whether the
country as a whole is fully aware of
what is behind the troubles that
formed the immediate basis of the
news developments recorded above.
And I am wondering further wheth-
er the shock of the strike threat
has awakened the country as a
whole to the need for a thorough-
going re-examination of the situa-
tion in which the railroads find
themselves! Because it is in the un-
derlying conditions that we are go-
ing to find a , solution. None can deny
that we need rail transportation;
none can deny that they either must
operate without losses or else they
are going to be left in the lap of
the government, and what a terri-
ble mess that would be, for govern-
ment seldom runs anything without
making a mess of it. The rail prob-
lem, its relation to other forms of
transportation, the public interest,
national policy, all must be threshed
out very soon. It can not be longer
avoided without increasing the dan-
gers of genuine national suffering.
Public Has Tremendous
Responsibility to Bear
When consideration of the various
phases of the condition gets under
way, if it is done thoroughly, con-
gress must give attention to a re-
vision of some of its long-established
policies. They are basic. When I
am talking about the plight of the
railroads, I am, at the same time,
condemning to the very core some
of the high-handed brigandage, thiev-
ery, corruption, that went on among
so-called captains of industry a few
generations ago. That stealing, that
corruption (in which politics figured
amazingly) put the railroads in dis-
repute as an industry. But most of
that has ended. The highly respect-
ed interstate commerce commission
saw to that job. Yet, the stigip^
and lack of public good will remains
to curse the carriers that operate
over steel rails.
So, there is first the need for a
national acceptance of the good faith
which most of the railroad manage-
ments now display. The public must
give credit where credit is due, and
the public has a tremendous respon-
sibility to bear in connection with
this phase.
Next, and without doubt one of
the really important phases, is the
question of continued subsidy, both
direct and indirect, that has been
given by the government to compe-
tition of the rail lines, competitors
like the bus and the truck and the
automotive industry generally.
There can be no dodging the fact
that this subsidy exists under vari-
ous guises, and the great motor in-
dustry which bred busses and trucks
and private automobiles by the mil-
lions stands as a monument, a
marker, showing where that subsidy
was distributed. The thousands of
miles of hard roads, all-year roads,
are a part of the subsidy that went
to competitors of the carriers, and
who can say that such an expendi-
ture by government was not one of
the greatest steps for progress?
Monster of Competition
Cuts Railroad Earnings
Of course, road construction was
necessary. It was vital. The na-
tional policy for good highways can
'only be praised. Yet, their very
existence is one of the reasons why
the railroads’ income has fallen off,
or, more properly, the normal in-
crease in receipts was not realized.
We see, therefore, a great monster
of competition set up with money
from taxpayers’ pockets. The rail-
roads long have been the most heav-
ily taxed of any industry, which is
to say they helped pay for creation
of competition.
There was the creation of the in-
terstate commerce commission
some years ago as a unit of govern-
ment for supervision of the rail
lines. It was, and is still, needed.
But its existence, too, has held down
rail earnings. This has resulted
from the control of rates. No rail-
road is permitted to charge more
than a rate approved by the I. C. C.
While the competitors were creep-
ing forward, under governmental
blessing, the I. C. C. was saying to
the rail lines: "You fellows obey
our orders, or else.”
Subsidies out of taxpayers’ pockets
have gone to build up another com-
petitor, also. I refer to inland wa-
terways and to coastwise shipping.
This means of transportation has a
value that hardly can be measured.
It is as much a part of our national
economic life as the highways and
the attendant motor transport. But
it exists, and it is able to operate
as a competitor of the railroads, be-
cause of a paternal government that
made things easy and gave a help-
ing hand wherever it could do so.
Air Transportation Now
Steps Into the Picture
Lately, air transportation has
been expanding with remarkable ra-
pidity. No nation in the world has
such efficient air service, nor as
safe air service, as is to be found in
the United States. It is carrying
increasing amounts of freight and
express; it is transporting thousands
upon thousands of passengers. These
passengers are of the type, general-
ly speaking, willing and able to pay
for the luxury train service which is
profitable when the trains are filled.
These air lines are benefiting from
government subsidy in several
ways. The air mdil doesn’t begin
to pay its way; the government
makes up the difference by con-
tracts that call for stated pay-
ments. And consider the scores of
great air fields throughout the coun-
try! The bulk of them are built at
public expense. True, the air lines
pay for the privileges of the field,
but does anyone think that the air
lines could afford to spend $40,000,-
000 to build such a field as that which
serves metropolitan New York?
Funds for it came largely from a
federal government grant. The
same beneficent Uncle Sam is put-
ting out several millions at the door-
step of the national capital here to
build a proper airport.
There are other things that could
be taken up and set apart to show
how the government has helped
competitors of the rail lines in most
practical fashion. Questions of tax-
ation, grade crossing construction
of an expensive character forced
upon the carriers, requirements for
terminals of luxury-type construc-
tion and so on. I believe it unneces-
sary to recount them. Those that
have been enumerated serve to
show where the trouble is. It does
not show the answer, but I believe it
points the way to an answer. The
answer, as I have mentioned above,
certainly can not be found, however,
unless there is genuine study of an
unselfish sort undertaken by con-
gress.

Ideal Woman
Is Matter of
Man's Taste
By PATRICIA LINDSAY
© Bell Syndicate.—WNU Service.
‘C1 VERY man cherishes in his
heart a vision of an Ideal Wom-
an. Naturally this woman is beau-
tiful! Beautiful according to his in-
dividual estimate of feminine loveli-
ness. She is usually a vision of per-
fect contour, lovely stature. Her
skin is fresh and radiant and her
hair is lustrous. Her hands are soft
and capable while her eyes sparkle
with vitality and silent wisdom!
Yes, Man’s Ideal Woman is a
composite of all beauty and all the
feminine graces. Not only does her
physical beauty satisfy his eye, but
her voice is music to his ears. The
quality of her mind intrigues him,
Men currently are favoring the
more feminine type of Olivia de
Havilland. Her physical beauty
and gracious personality make
her alluringly charming in the
eyes of the modern man. She
comes close to being his ideal
woman.
and her soul—that intangible some-
thing every person possesses—is his
inspiration.
Through life, Man seeks this crea-
ture of divine loveliness. For her
he lives, works and. plans. This
Ideal Woman is the animating pow-
er behind progress and activity, and
the closer you resemble her the
more joyous and abundant will be
your life!
If you wish for love, admiration,
success, happiness—Be beautiful!
Delight in the joy of feminine power
which comes from the knowledge
that you are a creature of charm
and that your personality is com-
pelling!
Analyze Your
Beauty Assets
Success in whatever you desire
from life lies in your determination
to make the most of yourself—to
glorify yo»r birthright!
So many women give up too eas-
ily. Just because they were not
bora with permanent waves in their
hair, or with legs like the famous
Dietrich s, they let themselves grow
discouraged. They don’t take time
to analyze their own beauty assets.
Perhaps a woman has a crooked
nose which causes her no end of
dismay. But her voice might be so
beautifully pitched that by concen-
trating on it she could so fascinate
others that they wouldn’t be aware
of the crooked nose! Impossible’
Not at all!
Every woman is born with some
physical beauty and a few compel-
ling characteristics. The Perfect
Woman does not exist. Each wom-
an should strive to accent her good
points and to dim her less glamor-
ous ones. She who does that suc-
cessfully comes near to being one
man’s Ideal Woman. The art of
keeping the external You beautiful,
and the inner You lovely at the same
time, is worth striving for. Look
around you. Isn’t the woman who
has mastered that art getting pretty
much what she wants from life?
Household Hints
By BETTY WELLS
Crochet This Set and
Tot Will Be Delighted
T’VE several bones to pick with
architects and builders. -Because
so often you’d think from the lay-
outs of the houses they’d plan, that
they didn’t really care much about
how a woman would want a house,
Oh, please don’t get huffy. I must
admit that the more recently built
homes are very well planned.
But most of us have to live in
houses that have been built for a
long time. So we sit around won-
dering where in the world we can
find an inch or two of wall space
for the sofa or the buffet in rooms
that are all cut up with too many
openings. Then, too, I’m death on
having several different sizes of
windows in one room. Especially
those almost-impossible-to-drape
windows that so often go above
built-in bookcases on either side of
the fireplace. And give me big
closets and a good traffic route
through the house.
The other day I perked up my
ears when I heard a famous woman
architect talk about house-planning
in a woman’s language. Plenty of
closets and plenty of places to put
things away in were her tenets of
faith. She also likes lots of light
through well-placed windows, so bay
Women architects have good ideas
about houses.
windows are her hobby. She be-
lieves there should be an entrance
hall instead of having the front door
come right into the living room and
that every house should have a
small playroom on the first floor if
possible. A house should reflect the
interests of the owner, she insists
also, and recalled a recent house
she built with a study for a literary
member of the family—-it had a
built-in desk, built-in files, drawers
and shelves that make it an ideal
writing room. Another house she
built recently had an attic playroom
with a skylight to let in all the win-
ter sunshine. While in the home of
a teacher of elocution and dramat-
ics this architect included a small
theater on the second floor for theat-
rical performances. She thinks that
would be a nice idea in a home
where amateur movies are a family
hobby.

HINT-OF-THE-DAY
Most of us have some opportunity
for getting out-of-doors and being
active one way or the other-
playing games, being interested in
a sport for exercise, gardening, or
bicycling. There are numerous ways
to work off that excess poundage
and bring your measurements down
to appealing lines.
If you are not active out-of-doors
in games or sports, then you must
do daily calisthenics, preferably to
the open air, simple corrective
ones planned for the particular parts
of your body which you wish to
proportion nicely.
Stretching Man's Lifetime
A French anthropologist credits
civilization with stretching man's
ifetime far beyond that nature al-
lowed under wild conditions. The
average man can expect to live
about sixty years. For women the
average lifetime is sixty-four. In
Dther words, the average person
lives longer than the longest-lived
humans in the good old Stone age.

A Den Is a Man's Room.
“I'm making a den out of an attic
room," writes Florence N., "and I’d
be grateful for some help about ar-
rangement and colorings. I have a
desk, couch, two rockers, one
straight chair, a table, bookcase and
radio to go in the room. The wall
paper is beige with a pink tint, the
woodwork white and the rug is a
two-toned soft green. The draperies
are maroon with a pink flower de-
sign and the curtains are white ruf-
fled tie backs. The two rockers
have heavy striped sateen coverings
in maroon and blue-green. We have
quite a nice collection of old Currier
and Ives prints that I’m using
here. What would you do about fur-
niture arrangement? Also what
about the couch cover? And have
you any other ideas or criticisms?”
I’m sketching in roughly an ar-
rangement of the furniture, with
couch (1), end tables (2), radio (5),
rockers (3 and 4), bookcase (6),
desk (7) with straight chair (8).
Now then about the colors—since
this is to be more of a masculine

about the flowered draperies and

be smarter to use some straight
hanging tailored curtains, hung
from brass rings so they can be
swished back and then you can dis-
pense with shades. Pongee would
be a good material for this purpose
and then if you like you could add a
valance made of plyboard cut in
a scallop and painted green ... be
sure to have dressmaker weights by-
the-yard in the hems of the pongee
to make them hang just so.
For the couch I’d prefer a cover
of husky sailcloth or denim in about
the same green as the rug, then odd
cushions in stripes or plaids or may-
be sporting print chintz. The stripes
on the rockers are all right to keep.
Frame the Currier and Ives prints
in maple frames and add lamps with
maple or copper bases.
The reason I’m suggesting plainer

like this seem larger and more tran-
