Plan Changes in Measure to a Railroads Plan
Washington. Senate Banking Committee discussions on amending the administration bill to liberalize RFC loans to railroads to bar loans to lines proposing wage cuts. Chairman Wagner said the bill was sent back to the committee for hearings with workers and railroad representatives to testify. The wage cut issue has stalled federal aid prospects, as railroads seek a 15 percent reduction while administration opposition persists. The RFC bill would provide equipment, maintenance and working loans under broader terms, with hearings planned to gauge railroad and labor positions. Jesse Jones urged the committee to resolve wage questions before advancing the bill.

Wisconsin Lt Governor Ekern Must Show Cause For Office
Chief Justice Rosenberry signed an order requiring Herman L. Ekern to show cause why a writ of quo warranto should not be issued to prevent him from holding the office. The order, returnable May 31, was served on Mrs. Ekern as Ekern could not be found. Attys Rubin and Zabel argued Governor La Follette lacked authority to appoint Ekern, a claim disputed by the attorney general who refused to pursue quo warranto. Ekern took over the post last October after Henry Gunderson left the tax commission post.

Cities May Suffer Loss of Road Funds
