Representative Reavis, who has spent days at the offices of the food administration and the di rector general of railroads in the in terest of his constituents, does not look upon the recent open letter of the director general of railroads to Food Administrator Hoover with any degree of comfort, let alone convic tion, in view of the telegrams and letters he is receiving from business interests in the First district. Today Representative Reavis un bosomed himself as to the camouflag ing indulged in by Secretary McAdoo. Mr. Reavis said: "I am very glad to learn from the published correspondence of the di rector general of railroads with Food Administrator Hoover in which he says that there are ample cars to transport all the food products and that if information is furnished the director general of railroads 'of locali ties needing cars they would be imme diately supplied. "My mail is flooded with telegrams and letters that there is not a station in the First district that does not need cars at once to save the soft corn. Notwithstanding repeated appeals for cars, they are not supplied. "I received a letter today from one of the small towns in my district stat ing that more than 50 stock cars had been ordered at that station and not a stock car had been furnished in a week; that in many instances farmers with hogs and cattle , ready for the market have been compelled to hold them on feed because no transporta tion was forthcoming. "This condition results in great loss to the farmer and an utter waste of feed to keep the stock up while wait ing for cars. Lack of transportation to get stock to primary markets has resulted in great loss. "The situation is intolerable and if the director general of railroads has ample cars, as he tells Mr. Hoover, he should get them to Nebraska with out delay." i Lincoln Youth Held For Lincc Officers Thomas Glenn, IS years old, living in Lincoln, was arrested last night by Detective Sergeant Holden after he attempted escape by running away, nienn is wante-H in Lincoln, where he is charged with passing several worth less checks, tne amount oi wnicn was not learned.
