Harding today asked congro-.s to
broaden the powers of tho war fi-

give financlul relief to tho railroads

The request was made 'by tho
prudent In a short niossago which

Tho president gave only a barp
outline of tho plan ho wanti con-
gress to approve to bring about tho
desired ends. Tho dctuilg of tho
proposal are to bo given out later
by tho railroad administration.
The salient point of thn plan waa
that tho war finance corporation bo
empowered to buy railroad securi-
ties whjch are now bld by tho di
rector general so that tho officials
of tho roads may have funds with
which to settle with tho railroads
without dipping Into tho funds In

deal primarily with the proposed

government and tho railroads but
according to statements by adminis-
