Govern ment ownership advocates in the senate are determined to reduce the income guarantees provided for railroads under the federal control legislation, with Director General McAdoo in control. The proposal is to pay lines compensation based on the full net railway operating income of the past three years would mean about nine hundred and fifty mil lion of dollars annually.
