Railroads Can Use
All Coal They Want
WASHINGTON, (£>) — After
midnight last night, the nation’s
railroads could fire up their steam
locomotives and use as much coal
as they need.
An order removing all restric
tions on coal burning train service
was issued Friday by the inter
state commerce commission.
The ICC clamped on the re
strictions in January to offset a
coal shortage. They were further |
tightened during the coal strike.
The railroads were authorized
to restore coal-burning passenger j
service to 75 per cent of normal
Friday night with all restrictions'
called off Sunday at midnight. A
freight service cut was dropped
earlier last week.

Alaska merchants the steamship
lines plan to ship nothing but
building materials north during

of the report. “The company is
ready at all times to make ship
ments to Alaska, and if we have
not got enough ships, we’ll go out
and get more.”

SAVE ALASKA WILDLIFE
COLUMBUS, O., (iP) — The
League of Ohio Sportsmen voted
Saturday night to launch a nation
wide campaign to “Save Alaska
Wild Life.”
Earl Ohmer of Petersburg, Alas
ka, appealed to the league at its
annual meeting here to ask Con
gress to appropriate money for the
conservaiton of wild life in the
northern Territory. Ohmer is
chairman of the Alaska Game
Commission.
He told the league Alaskan wild
life is “taking a beating at the
hands of poachers and game-hogs.”
Ohmer said Alaska must depend
on the States, since it has no vote
in Congress.
The league, an organization
which promotes conservation of
natural resources, agreed to ask
all states to cooperate in asking
Congress to appropriate the money
asked by Alaska.

A shade more than 55 per cent
of Belgium’s voters came out yes

King Leopold to his throne, but
the margin was so slim observers
feared a political crisis if pro
monarchists tried to follow
through.
Leopold, who lost his crown
for surrendering to the nazis in
World War II, skinned through
with 57 per cent of the vote in
yesterday’s referendum. He had
said he would abdicate if he got
less than 55 per cent.
The question was far from set

[ was only an advisory vote. Parlia

Horse Meat Sold
For “Prime Beef”
(By William C. Barnard)
FORT WORTH (/P)—Texas cat
tlemen are hotter than a sizzling
steak over the current horse meat
scandal.
It’s menacing the west’s great
beef industry.
Big Joe C. Montague, attorney
and spokesman for the Texas and
Southwestern Cattle Raisers As
sociation, said:
“If you want to see some fire
works, come around when our
association open its convention in
San Antonio next Monday. The
large-scale horse meat seizures in
Houston, Dallas and Fort Worth
this week will be the main topic.
“Texas cattle raisers are really
burned up,” Montague went on
'he was pretty warm, himself).
A “million-dollar racket” is
what a state meat inspector calls
the sale of horse meat.
G. F. Reed also said the horse
meat that was sold in Texas as
prime “beef tenderloin” origin
ated in shipments from Chicago.
In Dallas yesterday he said he
was pressing an investigation into
the thousands of pounds of the
“steak” seized.
