Existing rate structures would continue if railroads were tamed back to pri vate control until changes were made by orderly legal procedure, even where states have specific rate laws, in the opinion- of Director General McAdoo, expressed today at the resumption of the senate in terstate commerce committee hear ings on the railroad problem. The director general also ex pressed the opinion that railroads operating privately could maintain joint ticket offices without violating anti-trust laws. c a Trti rull . Senator Kellogg of Minnesota challenged this conclusion. "Don't you know," the senator inquired, "that when a committee of railroad presidents tried to unify the roads before the government took hold, that the attorney general in quired by what authority they were acting and intimated that tthey were violating the law?'' "Do you believe in the elimination of all competition between rail roads? Don't you think that the competition of service has been a principal factor in promoting good railway service?" Mr. McAdoo replied: "I don't know yet whether it would be best to eliminate all competition. That is why I want a five-year test period. I do not think competition is an unalloyed blessing, but a longer trial will show how much of it may be necessary." Turning to the question of a threatened breakdown in morale among officers and employes, which he feared if the government con trol should be limited to 21 months, the director general said: "It would be difficult with the im pending presidential campaign to keep the railroad question out of politics. If the railroads are held only 21 months, I fear the employes themselves would become objects of solicitation for one plan of cam paign or one group of candidates. The railroads of the United States must be kept out of politics." Red Guards in Minsk Are Winning Many Successes London, Jan. 4.
