Historic Indiana and Illinois Southern Railway Finds Recovery
The I and I S suffered bankruptcy in January 1890 with a forced sale of its assets after ten to twelve years of struggle. John T. Hays argued for the line, detailing light 35 to 40 pound rails and minimal ballast. The Illinois Central later consolidated the line, completing the Effingham to Indianapolis segment by 1906, and by November 1930s the line neared revival as a profitable property.

Profits Inquiries Tips Are Received By Senate Panel
The GAO prepared a new list of alleged war profiteers and officials suspected of improper conduct. The tips come from audits and will be sent to the Senate war investigating committee within 10 days. The inquiry notes improper action, improper claims, contractor charges, cost-plus to fixed price conversions, and procurement-law weaknesses. Committee staff say the volume delays full investigations as FBI hunts for insiders who stole Garsson files.
