McAdoo Warns on Rail Congestion and Baby Roads Policy
Director General McAdoo told the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee that weather and blizzards slowed freight and frozen harbors worsened rail congestion. He said government control is necessary to prevent financial collapse, promised economies, and discussed a $400 million revolving fund to support equipment and improvements while preserving a square deal for all roads. He stressed no one factor caused the problem and anticipated using the fund only for deficits, not maturing securities.
