The Governor maintained all through his campaign that such an investigation was necessary and mentioned it again in his inaugural address. "There is unrest throughout the State, he said. "Expenditures will be justified so long as an investigation proves them necessary and gives the true facts concerning them."

tFrom a Staff Correspondent Washington, Jan. 28 The first electric train of the Pennsylvania Railroad to operate between Philadelphia and Washington this afternoon established an all-time speed record of an hour and fifty minutes for the run between the two cities. The previous record was one hour and fifty-one minutes. Approaching the completion of the most electrification project in transportation history, the Pennsylvania Railroad today inaugurated formally its electrically operated train service oetwecn Washington, Baltimore and New York. Although today's trip, begun at 10 o'clock at the Capital, was considered only a trial run to Philadelphia, the occasion was marked with ceremony, and was attended by public official of the Federal Government nd of several States through which the new service will pass.

Regular passenger service is expected to be in operation by February 10, officials Stated.

Jackson boarded the train here for the trip to Philadelphia. Hundreds View New Train Several hundred persons thronged the Union Station in Washington as the train pulled slowly out of the depot.

Stresses Recovery Plan "It not only shows what can and should be done under the President's recovery program, but demonstrates what actually has been accomplished under PWA when private initiative ids the Administration in carrying cut reemployment plans.

"This Pennsylvania PWA project said to be the greatest private construction job in the world carried forward during the past year. PWA loans to the railroad have created nation wide reemployment. "PWA has 'oaned the Pennsylvania Kailroad Company a total of $80,650. 000, of which $37,000,000 was for com pletion of the electrification of its line between Washington and New York. $23,000,000 was for building a fleet of one hundred new electric locomotives.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Sunl Cumberland, Jan. 28 David A. Robb, the 'little Hercules" of the Republican party in this section and a former State Senator, is pointed to by developments here as the probable first appointee to the bench in the new administration of Gov. Harry W.

Nice. The retirement within a few months of Judge Albert A. Doub because of the age limit will create the first scheduled vacancy in the judiciary in the administration of Governor Nice. It was disclosed today that twenty-five of the fifty members of the bar in Cumberland have signed a petition to the Governor indorsing Mr. Robb for the appointment to succeed Judge Doub.

Henderson Suggested Other candidates who have been put forward included Mayor George Hen derson, the Republican candidate for Attorney-General in the last election; State's Attorney William A. Huster and former State Senator William A. Gunther. Aside from the twenty-five attorneys backing Mr. Robb and aside from the candidates themselves, it was said that fifteen of the fifty members of the bar here have indorsed other candidates, and five are as yet uncommitted.

Politically, Senator Robb was said to have the backing of half the members of the Republican State Central Committee for Allegany county. Also politically, he supported the present Governor in the primary campaign last summer. Mayor Henderson, it was pointed out, was alligned with the primary candidacy of H. Webster Smith, although he and Mr. Nice campaigned in harmony in advance of the general election.

Robb Is A Dry Like another outstanding political figure in this part of the State, Representative David J. Lewis Mr. Robb is small of stature, but noted as a political fighter. Unlike Representative Lewis, he has always been an uncom promising prohibitionist. He led the fight in the General Assembly a decade ago for a State dry bill.

Bakers from four States are attending Mr. Schmidt is to preside at the meetings tomorrow. OPTIMISM EXPRESSED FOE BAKING INDUSTRY Potomac States Association Hears Deputy Code Administrator At Session Optimism over the prospects of the baking industry in the future under the regulations of the NRA was the key note of several addresses at the open ing session of the annual convention of the Potomac States Bakers' Association which began here today at the Lord Baltimore Hotel. Weld M. Stevens, deputy administrator of the bakers' code; Arthur E.

Hungerford, NRA Compliance Director for Maryland, and L. J. Schu-maker, chairman of the board of directors of the American Bakers' Association, all agreed that many of the pro visions of the code which have proved beneficial to the industry will be retained in some legislative form even if the NRA is allowed to lapse at its terminal period, June 15. Thinks Much Accomplished "I believe a great deal has been ac complished in the industry by the code," said Mr. Stevens in discussing the possibility of retention of the code.

The rules concerning fresh and stale returns and premiums and prizes have been particularly effective." The as signment selling regulations, he sug gested, when perfected, will also be of immense value to the industry as a whole. Upon a query as to what would be the solution of the problem of "bootleg" bread, made by bakers paying low wages to labor and underselling bakers complying with the NRA, Mr. Stevens said that in the last six weeks or two months the compliance machinery of the bakers' code had been overhauled and strengthened, and that results being shown since that time were highly satisfactory. "This problem exists to an unusual degree in the baking industry," he said, "because of the number of small bakers hiring only a few em ployes. No one had an idea in the beginning what sort of compliance machinery would be necessary.

FOUR FLEE FLAMES IN HOUSE BAREFOOT Marx Avenue Residence Catches Fire While Occupants Are Asleep While the official city thermometer was registering five degrees above zero around 3 o'clock this morning, four persons, scantily clad and bare footed, were driven from their burn ing home at 4114 Marx avenue into the freezing weather and snow-cov ered street. Walter S.

Kratz, who occupies the second floor apartment with his wife, Jeanette, was aroused by the odor of smoke. He awakened his wife and then assisted her through the smoke-filled rooms down a stairway to the first floor where Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Klikczyski were asleep. Alarm Is Sounded Kratz and his wife cried "Fire!" and pounded on the doors to awaken the Klikczyski's.

All four hastily grabbed what few clothes they could find and ran out of the rapidly-burning building in their bare feet The two families then ran to Simms and Marx avenues, a short distance away, where a fire alarm was sounded. The four huddled around the fire-alarm box until clanging fire engines irjused neighbors. Neighbor Lends Aid Patrolman Stanley Ritterpusch and Patrolman Joseph O'Donnell, the crew of a Northeastern district radio car? an swered the alarm and were prepared to take the refugees to a place of shelter when a neighbor took them into her home. They were given stimulants. Firemen found that the fire, appar ently starting from a defective flue in the rear part of the two-story frame dwelling, had eaten its way through the partition on the second floor and spread toward the roof.

Heavy streams of water were brought into play quickly and the blaze con trolled before serious damage resulted. After firemen left the scene the two families returned to their apartments.

"You can't do that." said Magistrate Staylor, "But I'll lend you a dollar of my money." And he did. Among the delays that caused the Latrobe to reach its objective some twenty-four hours late on its first icc-brcuking trip this winter was that occaiioned by the discovery at the last minute that the crew lacked a cook, F. M. Kipp, harbor engineer, revealed today.

The cook had gone ashore to borrow a cleaver. When departure time arrived the cook was not on board. Mr. Kipp said the getaway was held up while some one scurried around on shore to get another cook.
