WASHINGTON (AP) The rail
road consolidation movement got
another big push today with gov
ernment authority for a unifica
tion of the Chicago and North
Western and the Minneapolis 4t
St. Louis railways.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission approved the combine
Friday, giving North Western a
, go-ahead on acquiring the M. &
St. L. properties for a total out
lav of about $21 million.
The unification, the fourth ma
jor one in the railroad field in the
last three years, will give North
Western 10,790 miles of traok and
according to ICC records make it
second only to the Santa Fe in
total road operated. The Santa Fe
system covers 12,992 miles.
A three-man division acting for
the full ICC set a time record in
handling the North Western case
in a little more than five months.
For "Public Benefit"
The division said: "The com
bined properties will produce a
larger, stronger company, better
able to meet the challenges faced
by the railroad industry and
better able to attract and hold
competent management person
nel. Such is obviously in the pub
lic interest." ,
The years 1960-70 may well be
come known as the decade of
great railroad mergers.
So pronounced is the trend that
President James Symes of the
Pennsylvania Railroad said the
other day he thinks that eventu
ally there will be only about a doz
en major systems in the country
three or four in the East, about
three in the South, five or six in
the West. -
At this timi there are 692 sep
arate operating companies, 111 of
them of the Class I variety, doing
$3 million or more railroad busi
ness a year. The others are in
short line operations.

Hatfield O.K.'s Income Tax Cut,
Levy On Cigarettes Proposed
By Committee Of Legislators
By PAUL W. HARVEY JR.
SALEM (AP) Gov. Mark Hat
field gave general approval today
to the Legislative Taxation Inter
im Committee's program to re
duce income taxes 10 per cent
and to levy a 3-cent-a-package
cigarette tax.
"This program," he said in an
interview, "is a modification of
the program I submitted to the
1959 Legislature. I welcome the
committee's support of my pro
gram, although I am not neces
sarily approving all the details of
the committee's report."
Hatfield is a Republican. The
committee has a Democratic ma
jority. The committee would reduce tax
rates and eliminate deductions.
Hatfield Implies
You, Too, Harry
SALEM (AP)-Gov. Mark Hat
field took a fellow Baptist,
Harry Truman, to task here for
Truman's "go to hell" statement
Hatfield wrote the former presi
dent that he "now must question
both your spiritual undergirdings
and your veracity."
"It never occurred to me," Hat
field wrote, "that you would ever
go so far as to make two state
ments attributed to you in the past
week or so.
"I refer to vour charge that the
Baptists of Texas could 'go to
hell' if they do not support your
candidate for president, and that
Vice President Nixon 'never told
the truth in his life'."
Hatfield has been moderator of
the First Baptist Church of Salem.
He will speak tonight at the con
vention here of the Oregon Baptist
Convention, and speaks Saturday
at the Southern California Baptist
Convention in San Diego.

OREGON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1960
Rait Systems Consolidate
One effect would be to tax per
sons in lower salary brackets who
now are exempt. Hatfield said he
favors this "broadening of the tax
base."
The governor said he will ask
the Legislature to give careful
scrutiny to new programs that
cost money.
Some new programs are neces
sary, such as medical care for
the aged, and salary increases for
state employes, he said.
But he said he would veto any
new taxes that would increase
state revenues.
His plan to reorganize the state
government will follow closely the
recommendations of the advisory
committee he appointed for this
purpose.

evitable," he said. "But if the
Legislature won't go for all of it,
it will be in such form that it
could approve part of it."-
A cabinet - type government
would place more authority in the
hands of the governor.
"The heart of the reorganiza

get coordination between depart

Haircut Price Dispute
Idles City Barber Shops
BIRMINGHAM. Ala. (AP)
Whether or not Birmingham's male
population will grow shaggy around
the ears was a question today
which nobody particularly a bar
berwants to answer.
It started when barbershop op
erators voted Oct. 3 not to increase
the price of haircuts two bits.
But the barbers later voted to
hike the price two bits and with
out a shave, either.
That would make nrices today
either $1.50 or $1.75, depending on
wnicn viewpoint you accept.
It even brought arut the possi
bility of the barbeVjjhops Deing
closed, although nobodV voiced this
possibility officially. V.
There was one man wllo stood in
front of a barber shop and laughed
at the whole state of confusion. Ha
had no hair at all.
