New York, Oct.

29 (-Railroads of the country may be offered about $1,000,000,000 in rehabilitation loans on easy terms by the federal government as a sequel to submission to the "no-wage-cut" report, tome executives predicted today. The loans would be made In coming months as a major part of a fifteen-month $5,000,000,000 government-stimulated national defense program, In which utilities, automobile, and airplane factories, chemical factories, and heavy Industry generally also play big parts, they said; Not a "Deal While the loans were not expected to be offered In a "deal" to maintain present wage scales, it was pointed out that refusal of the roads to submit to the wage freezing recommendations of the President's rati fact-finding board, made public today, might precipitate a labor emergency which the government might take strong steps to forestall in the midst of a national defense program. The proposal of government lending on a broad scale for national rehabilitation was described as still in a tentative state calling for extended discussion coming weeks. (One month" must elapse after today's report before roads could cut wages or labor could strike.) Some key rail executives who reputedly turned down a previous irovemment-lerrdmf? plan because of the terms, are said to look favorably upon the plan, providing: 1. The terms of the lending do not lead to reorganization.

2-The government does not Insist upon complete priority of its obligations over secured claims of private investors. 3. The Interest rates are low. 4. The loans are payable out of income as business picks up.

Washington, Oct. President Roosevelt's fact-finding board recommended today that the railroads abandon their proposal to reduce wages of approximately employees on Dec. 1. The railroad managements gave ijio Immediate Indication as to 'Whether they would comply. Still up to the President, in the words of one board member, was the problem of averting the nationwide strike, which the rail workers have voted If the proposed fifteen percent reduction" Is put Into effect.

The Wlilte House disclosed that Mr. Roosevelt would pursue this problem Monday at a conference with George M. Harrison, head of the Railway Labor Executives' association, and John J. Pelley, president of the Association of American Railroads. Presumably, the possibilities of other proposed solutions of the railroads' financial plight will be discussed at this conference.

The administration's Ideas on government aid and legislation at the next session of congress are expected generally to be canvassed. Pelley declared at recent hearings before th fact-flndln board, however, that the wasre cut offered the only adequate solution. Temporary Restraining Order Blocks Closing of Dayton's Public Schools to 34,000 Ppilsrr Will- Open Usual Monday; Landes Sara Board's Consent Necessary. Dayton, Oct. 29 OP) A tem-parary restraining order today blocked the closing of Dayton's public schools to 34,000 pupils.

A court entry ordered the board of education to open as usual on Monday, yi Actual resumption of classroom work, however, remained problematical as Supt. Emerson H. Lan-dis said he was without power to reopen schools without the consent of the board. Board President Frank W. Miller said he would not summon a meeting until he had been officially notified of the action of Gommon Pleas Judge Null M.

Hodapp. A 24-hour notice must be given to board members before a meeting. Contending the closkig order was "unnecessary at this tune," Board Member Richard Withrow applied for the restralner against an order which closed the schools Friday afternoon. withrow was the only member voting against the closing because of a $61,000 deficit and lack of operating funds. The court did not set a date for a hearing on Withrow'a application for a permanent injunction to keep the schools open.

Withrow's petition said the board's action was taken, on the assumption that teachers would not be willing to work without "The teachers owe It to their community to continue their services in this emergency with the assurance they will be paid back salaries as soon as the state legislature acts or funds are forthcoming," said. "Many teachers with whom I have spok en have expressed their willingness to continue teaching with such assurance being given by the board." Celebrate Vith Safety and Sauity, Request of Police To add to the Joy of celebrating Hallowe'en, and incidentally to add to the safety of the event, two blocks of East Beverley street will be cleared of automobiles and blocked off to traffic tomorrow night, City Manager W.

This practice was followed with success last year, when the young people and many parents thronged to this spot to see and be teen, to scare and for the tots maybe be scared.

The blocks will be those between Augusta and Market streets. Chief John M. Webb last night called on parents to warn their children against the perpetration of Hallowe'en pranks that damage property and to Instruct them not to annoy elderly people or women who reside alone. All of the officers on his force will be on duty during the evening, he stated. Offenses for which they will be on the lookout include markings of automobiles and store front windows with chalk and other substances, which often result in permanent damage due to the gritty substances used in them, 0 I'ENN AND NATV PLAT TO SCORELESS DEADLOCK Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Oct.

"She expects those who seized them to take the initiative for res toration," he said, "and Germany claims colonies only from those who deprived her of them. "Tlie present mandatories of German colonies should come and tell us what their attitude Is in the question of restoration then we will decide our future attitude toward them." Germany's pre-war colonial empire totaled about 1,130,000 square miles, more than 1,000.000 square miles of It in Africa.

Chairman Sheppard (D-Tex.) said that these complaints. If would be Investigated for any bearing they might have on the seating of a successful candidate In the senate. When the senate set up the special committee by a resolution adopted last June 16, it gave it wide powers to look into "everything of public Interest" bearing senators. The senate gave the committee $80,000 to carry on an investigation that reached into sixteen of the thirty-four states where senatorial elections are being conducted this year. Up to Oct.

Upwards of 1,000 complaints of improper political activity have been received by the five-man committee, composed of Senators Sheppard, Harrison (D-Miss.)

By The Associated Press Campaign orators for both major parties told the nation last night that election of their candidates to congress on Nov. 8 was the best way to preserve democracy. Attorney General Homer Cum-mings declared that "no more heartening message could go forth to the lovers of democracy, at home and abroad, than verdict In November that the American people propose to uphold the hands of their great President' But Republican Senator Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan, took the view that in the forthcoming elections "the people must decide either we go on to glory in the spiritual and material freedoms of a representative republic or we bog- down in the morass of a controlled and collective state." In an address prepared for delivery at York, Cummings defended the policies of the Democratic administration with the contention that: "Dictatorship, revolution, bureaucracy, these have been the cries, the constant and invariable answers to every effort to eliminate injustices and restore some measure of equal opportunity to the people of this country." Senator Vandenberg said that "we are not automatically Immune to all the forces of destruction which are reducing democracy to a shambles elsewhere in the world." Can Bid Goodbye If a third-term president ever Is elected, the senator argued, "you can eventually bid goodbye to democracy In America precisely as It disappeared almost elsewhere else (Continued on Page 2.

A horizontal reduction of wages on a national scale would not mert the financial emergency of the Industry, since the savings would not be distributed merely to the needy roads. "3.

A wage reduction in the railroad Industry would run counter to the trend of wage rates in Industry generally. "4. The financial distress of the carriers which has obtained since October, 1937. when the last wage Increases were granted, Is as yet short-term situation.
