A disposition in Congress against any attempt to cure railroad ills by legislation at this session was apparent today after Joseph Eastman dinator of transporttion advised that public ownership seemed best in the long run but any step toward it seemed unwise now. All in all, in answering the Congressional question whether radical or major changes were needed for the railroad industry, Eastman said the time was not ripe for any sweepchanges, but he gave the advocates of complete Federal control considerable comfort. "Theoretically and logically he said in an exhaustive review, "public ownership and operation meets the known ills of the present situation better than any other remedy." There was comfort too for the other side in this statement: "Nevertheless, I am not prenared to recommend resort to public owner. ship and operation.

This is for the principal reason that the country is not now financially in a condition to stand the strain of an acquisition of these great properties, imposing burdens which cannot be definitely foreseen and might well present circumstances, be disproportionately severe."

Chairman Dill, of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee said: "It would Seem there would be no general railroad legislation at this congress," adding that "clearly there has not been ample tine to work out plans for a general revision of the railroad structure."

The commission now can approve or disapprove solidations but cannot force them. But he expressed himself as opnosed to any sweeping consolidation either in the near future or over short period of years. "There are possibilities in the situation," said Eastman, "which I from bemake it wise, quite existing economic conditions, to postpone the immediate consideration of any radical or change in the organization and conduct of the railroad industry." The report was the first of four Eastman will make to Congress.

The others will deal with need of regulation of buses, trucks and airnlanes; the need for amendments to present regulatory statutes and possible additional labor legislation. Legislation for truck and bus regulation already has been introduced in the house. Eastman said A grand tion plan was impractical now because the country could stand the controversy that would prenot, cipitated.
