Railroads Seek
Hate Increases
Of 15 Per Cent
CHICAGO, Oct. 29,-(A)-The ina-
tion's major railroads today voted to
;2ek increases in freight and pas-
senger rates calculated to ooost their
annual income by $508,000,000.
The Association of American Rail-
roads decided to ask the interstate
commerce commissun to authorize a
15 per cent hike in all freigt charges
except Liose on "coal, coke, lumber,
fruits, vegetables and sugar, for
which certain maximums will be
asked in each instance.s
The organization of all class one
carriers also elected to petition the
CIO immediately for permission to
advance coach fares in the easternu
district from thercurrent two cent
t mile rate to 2 1, cents and coach
fare in the southern district from
the present 1%/ cents basis to 2 cents
a mile.
Western lines joined in a move to
obtain a $5 increase in transcontin-
ental fares between Chicago and the
Pacific Coast with corresponding ad-
justments between intermediate
points and increases in the round
trip, 30 day coach fares and round
trip, intermediate tourist car fares.

Deadlock Over Unanimity
Delays British Program
For SpanishAgreement
LONDON, Oct. 29.-(A')-The sub-
committee on nonintervention ended1
another bitter five-hour session to-
night with a deadlock between Com-
munist Russia and the Nazi-Fascist
Front of Germany, Italy and Por-
tugal booking agreement on Great
Britain's plan to withdraw foreign
volunteers from Spain.
The plan was accepted in its en-
tirety by Britain, France, Belgium,
Czechoslovakia and Sweden at to-
day's session. Russia accepted it with
reservations on the granting of bel-
ligerent rights to the Spanish war-
ring parties. Germany, Italy and
Portugal accepted without reserva-
tions, but on condition of unanimity.
The deadlock was on the question
of unanimity. -
The plan envisages, besides the
withdrawal of foreign soldiers from
the Spanish armies, the granting of
belligerent rights and restoration of
land and sea supervision to insure
nonintervention.
Ivan M. Maisky, Soviet ambas-
sador, abstained from voting on the
belligerency issue in what Lord Ply-
mouth, chairman of the subcommit-
tee, and France's Ambassador Charles
Corbin said was a desire "not to hin-
der the work of the committee."
This, however, did not break the
impasse.
German Ambassador Joachim von
Ribbentrop led the Nazi-Fascist front
in an unexpected about face from its
stand at the last meeting and insist-
ed that abstention from voting was.
tantamount to a refusal to accept
the plan and that acceptance must be
unanimous or the plan would break
down.

HYDE PARK, N. Y., Oct. 29.-(P)
-President Roosevelt, starting a
series of conferences on budget bal-
ancing today, placed great emphasis
on his hopes for increasing the in-
come and purchasing power of a
third of the population he, said were
living sub-standard.
He said at a press conference that
the wages and hours and surplus
crop control measures, principal
items of business of the special ses-
sion of Congress meeting November)
15, were steps planned to lift pur-
chasing power.
At another point, he said that
newspaper stories speculating on pos-
sible revision of the capital gains
and undistributed surpluses taxes had
omitted reference to that portion of
the population with little to live on.
Particularly, the President added,
the speculation omitted mention of*
increasing the purchasing power of
thirty to forty million persons who
lack a decent standard of living now.
The President talked to newsmen
a short time before beginning an eve-
ning conference with Secretary Mor-
genthau and Under-Secretary Ma-
gill of the Treasury on the budget.
They studied ways and means of
making the Treasury's books balance
in the quite of the President's family
home and Mr. Roosevelt, answering a,
question, said beforehand that taxes
would be among 50 subjects that
probably would be discussed.
Daniel W. Bell, the Budget Direc-
tor, will come here Monday for an-
other of the budget conferences.
Before his meeting with the Treas-
ury officials, the President called on
Audrey Williams, the Youth Admin-
istrator for a nationwide survey on
what trades and professions are over-
crowded.

On Low Rates'
Refunds On Deposits Will
Be Paid Today, Monday
At Union, Samuels Says
Hundreds of students who had ex-
pected to benefit by reduced rail-
road rate tickets to their homes for
the Christmas vacation were notified
last night in announcement to the
Daily that their plans will have to
ie altered because of a reduction in
the time limit on return trips.
Approximately 600 persons who
had payed one dollar deposits on
their fares to the Michigan Railroad
ind Excursion Co. will be able to re-
ceive refunds today in the Union from
9 to 12 a.m. and 1 to 5 p.m., ac-
cording to Richard Samuels, '39, head
of the organization.
Refunds will also be made from
1 to 5 p.m. Monday at the Union
ticket office, Samuels announced.
The same lower rates that were
announced will prevail although
there will be only 10 days in which to
complete return trips. Last year the
period in which special excursion
tickets for students were valid ex-
tended from Dec. 11 to Jan. 10.
Because this year the Christmas
vacation for students will last more
than 10 days, students face the choice
of returning to Ann Arbor earlier
than usual or finding other cheap
means of transportation.
The special excursion period of 10
days is the rule and more than that
amount, the exception, according to
Mr. B. W. Holden, an employe of
the Michigan Central Railroad, who
was notified of the changed time
limit yesterday by the Trunk Line

Association, representing railroads

loyal Illinoisans pqured into this
town tonight bent upon personally
celebrating Bob Zuppke's 25th an-
niversary as head coach of the Illini
gridders. Meanwhile, 33 Wolverines,
lodged in a Chicago inn overnight,
planned to put the quietus on the

letes in Memorial Stadium before an
anticipated crowd of 25,000.

Acre Control,
Granary Plan
Seen Probable
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-(/P)-
Strong sentiment developed in the
House agriculture committee today
for controlling the acreage a farmer
plants, but leaving him free to raise
and market as much as he can on
this limited acreage.
Chairman Jones (Dem., Tex.) re-
ported the committee "generally un-
derstood" benefit payments to farm-
ers under new legislation asked by
President Roosevelt would be made
on a basis of tilled acreage.
Other features of which he said
there was a general accord included
continuation of the present soil con-
servation program, under which ben-
efits are paid producers complying
with prescribed planting practices,
and establishment of the "ever-nor-
mal" granary for those crops to
which it is most adaptable. The
granary is a system of storing crop
surpluses or use in years of lean
harvests.
The scheme to place added empha-
sis on controlling acreage in culti-
vation was advanced by some com-
mittee members as an effective
means of avoiding controversial pro-
