Danger Of Political Interference.

(C. P. By Gulr-dia.u’o Special Wire)

0'I'1‘AWA. Apr. z'l.—s. J. Hunger- ford, who started his railway life 45 years ago as a inechanist’s appren- tice. will be chairman of the board of directors of the Canadian Na. tional Railways under the new man- agement set-up, it was announced today in the House of commons by Railway Minister Howe. “s.J.", as he is known to railwaymen, will combine the offices of chairman and president.

The Railway Minister made his announcement when sponsoring I Eovernment bill to scrap the board of three trustees established in l933 by the Bennett administration and substitute a board of seven direc- tors. At the same time he attacked the ability and record of the trus- tees, claiming the management ex- periment had failed.

The bill passed second reading without a recorded vote after Con- servatives maintained a steady at- tack on it all day.

The railway minister said it was only the first of the governments efforts to restore the Canadian National system to some degree of financial independence. “We are going to give it a chance as a business concern to go out and build,” he said.

One of the main reasons for the legislation, Mr. Howe said, was to lift the system out of bankruptcy int’ business vitality. It would be expected to go out and get traffic.

The three trustees, soon after the change of government, were given the opportunity to resign bl“. only one agreed, Mr. I-lowe re- vealed. With the government hold- ing its present views. there was no alternative but to legislate them frc:n office.

POLITICAL INTERFERENCE

Conservative Leader Bennett, who followed him, predicted the change would open the door for political interference which had proved dis- astrous in the past. He warned the government the bill he'd no solution for the railway problem which in his judgment was dragging the country below the surface of finan- cirl stability.

MADRID. April 27—-Spain's'left- wing people's front will command a total of 435 of the 4'13 presid- ential eiectors, according to incom- plete returns complled tonight.

Only 38 moderates were elected to the group which will oo-operate with the Cortes in selecting a new president for Spain on May 10, it was indicated. Virtually all right parties refused to participate in the election because of "the lack of constitutional guarantees."

Previously Premier Azana had strong support. for the position, but the Socialist party has insisted he remain in office to carry through the popular front program.
