22. Based on factory reports and the general assumption that automobile manufacturing: is going to be first to reflect material improvement in business, the sentiment pervading the industry was more than optimistic last week. As to the real basis for the better feeling, a ranking executive of one of the larger said the sales volume in the last seven days had shown 15 per cent growth. He added, however, that this gave no indication as yet of a "runaway market." Uncertainty About rord. Meanwhile, executives of banks and trust companies are seeking to build up i favorable attitude toward general cooperation in the support that is being given to distribution and retailing.

One institution which made a public plea for such, support cited replies last week from bankers In various parts of the country in which the idea is indorsed. The replies came from such key cities as Boston. St. Louis, Cleveland, Har-risburg. Columbus, New Orleans, Des Moines, and Los Angeles.

Uncertainty and conflicting rumors as to Ford plans appear to becloud the outlook for this year.

1931. NEW YORK, Feb. 22. While there is some doubt aa to the practical value of the exhaustive report of the House committee on interstate and foreign commerce in the matter of regulating the stock ownership of railroads, it satisfies the curiosity of a public that always likes to know who owns what and how large a part big capitalists play in directing the policies of American transportation lines. From this standpoint, the report will be a valuable addition to literature available in the future to students of railroad affairs.

The report showed for one thing that ownership by American railroads is more highly concentrated than that of the industrials or public utilities. The largest number of shareholders are those in the Pennsylvania road and. while they approach 200,000. those of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company are approximately 650.000 and with several of the power and light corporations they are in excess of 200.000. Wealthy Turn Elsewhere.

Investment in railroads constituted the great bulk of the fortunes of individuals and families of a generation ago. Many of the shares then purchased have been handed down and kept intact by the present generation. It would be found on analy sis, however, that the holdings of railroad stocks by wealthy Individ uals now constitute a much smaller proportion of their entire fortunes than in the past, for in recent years they have been buyers of public utility and industrial shares rather than those of railroads. The report disposes of the common belief that a few individuals hold a high percentage of the stocks of leading railroad companies. It was supposed, for instance, that George F.

Baker owned an enormous number of Erie railroad shares. The actual amount given is 50,000. His ownership of Lackawanna stock is a trifle over 10 per cent of the total outstanding but is believed to be suf ficient, with that which the New York Central now holds, to give con trol of the road to the New York Central when the four-party plan is finally consummated. It is interesting to note that the Vanderbilt family has maintained its tradition of investing chiefly in the stocks of those roads under its man agement, but that it owns less than 5 per cent of all of the New York Central stock. On the other hand.

the holdings of the family of Harriman, who rebuilt the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, are now represented in only a trifle over per cent of Union Pacific and a little less than 2 per cent in the preferreds. Southern Pacific does not appear in the list. This interest hold over 6 per cent of Texas Pacific, which is now controlled by the Van Sweringens. James Holdings. Arthur Curtis James owns about equal amounts of Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Southern Pa cific and nearly 61 per cent of Western Pacific, which is the Southern Pacific's strongest competitor in California, The Wi'lener family has its largest railroad investment in the Baltimore Ohio group and is un derstood to be friendly to the plan of placing the Reading with the Baltimore Ohio under the proposed eastern railroad rearrangement.

The report brings out the fact that there are 136 investment trusts, including those of the management and fixed type, which hold railroad securities and that New York Cen tral's stock is held by the largest number of these trusts. The Balti more Ohio comes next as their favorite and the Atchison Great Northern and Union Pacific. The Rockefeller Foundation and its related boards, whose investments have been the subject of public discussion from time to time, have over 59,000 shares of New York Central and over 25,000 shares of Atchison and about 16,000 shares of There are a number of other similar funds or trusts which show substantial holdings of New York Central, Atchison, Baltimore Ohio and Southern Pacific stock. 20,000 JOBLESS WILL GET WORK SOON, REPORT (Continued From Page Fifteen) period, payrolls made out, and checks payable to the individual delivered to the paymaster designated for each particular job to be distributed.

The principles of the Pittsburgh plan were commended yesterday by William Randolph Hearst, publisher of the Pittsburgh "Sun-Telegraph" and other newspapers. "The plan is in harmony with the American policy of appropriating "millions for employment, but not one cent for dole" the publisher said. "It effectively answers those who advocate quack remedies for economic illness that have been tried so unsuccessfully in Europe."

The stories that have been circulated appear to be predicated on changes in body design said to have been worked out by a manufacturer supplying part of the Ford requirements. Whether or not these apply to the four-cylinder models or to something new is not known. The answer of Ford officials to this talk is, "we never pay any attention to rumors of any kind."
