McAdoo Defends Wartime Rail Run Costs Before Senate
Washington February 2 William Gibbs McAdoo first director general of the wartime railroad administration testified before a Senate committee on costs under government control versus private operation. He said government operation cost the public about 407 637 404 monthly versus 4925 419 189 under private control, a 32 percent higher burden after return to private management. He urged government control had saved money and warned that private operation would raise freight and passenger rates and hinder agriculture labor and industry. He noted early wartime savings of 118 million and argued wage and maintenance charges favored government management while rail workers earned less than in private industry during the war.

Ocracoke Crime Quiet. Tide of Incidents Not Reached
By Associated Press Ocracoke, N. C., Feb 2. A long-standing lull in crime, described as the “crime wave,” has not touched Ocracoke in fifty years. The town reports no burglary or robbery in decades, with only a single noted case years ago.
