Authority Over Interstate Auto Lines WASHINGTON.- (Special) National leaders here, men in and out of Congress, are giving serious consideration to a plan advanced by the American Automobile As sociation -whereby Federal author ity -would be conferred upon the state governments to regulate" the huge and rapidly expanding- inter state motor bus traffic. . The plan, which was submitted by the Motor. Bus Division of the A. AJ A., at tho Interstate Com merce Commission' bearing which has Just closed here, admittedly is a departure from the ordinary line drawn between national and state regulatory systems, but Is believed by leading lawyers, members of Congress and , others who have studied it to be well with In the limits of the Constitution. They agree that it undoubtedly would provide much needed regulation in a field left devoid of governmental supervision for nearly two years. ' At the Interstate Commerce Commission's hearing, the A. A. A. Motor Bus Division, which Is the national organization of stage bus associations, submitted a proposed bill which. If enacted, would dele Kate to commissions of the various states the , Federal authority to regulate passenger bus service lines operating in Interstate com merce. Such a law would ' set a . precedent in the history of Ameri can transportation legislation, since it would give to every state powers heretofore donfined to the national government. However, to make it constitutional,, the Mo tor Bus Division proposes that In application of the law, the Interstate Commerce Commission would retain' final authority; and that it would constitute an appeal court In cases brought up from the atate.commisslons. The proposal -was submitted ', after eighteen months of careful study by the legislative committee of the Motor Bus Division, and Is certain to beJ an effective means of eliminating: the chaos resulting , from the lack, of supervision, the Commission was told. This lack of supervision has obtained ever since the United States Supreme v Court ruled a year and a half ago that states could neither grant nor refuse a "license of convenience and necessity" to interstate bus companies, thus declaring the field anbtan one. That the A. A. A. proposal will be given careful consideration wheni the Interstate Commerce Commission makes up recom mendations on has traffic is cer tain. A series of. hearings held throughout the nation during the summer months developed that a widespread demand for regulation exists, opposition' being voiced is only one instance. The A. A. A. plan. It was brought but at the hearing here, has the indorsement of bus associations in 24 states, or the greater number of organized bus men in America. . In its principle of, regulation, the measure also is agreed to by the railways and other factions In terested, the only point of dispute being la the 'details. In a former measure drawn up months ago, the same proposal in principle was advanced. '.That this plan might be amended so as to donform to the 'needs of the bus "men, the most vitally interested faction, the Motor Bus Division undertook to frame the new measure. La A.

We have had too much dilly-daly-Ing with this problem. The rail roads cannot escape their respon sibility in the matter and placards nd posters for an educational character are not enough. The picture of a reckless driver trying to beat a railroad train to a grade crossing may be all very well .for the comic strips, but as a 'matter of fact, the number of people who ry to beat the train is very' small and the great majority ot the peo ple who get nilled are simply caught in a death trap. Our, ulti mate aim must be to eliminate- the grades, at least the most danger- pus of them. - - - ;'-; "? - "No one expects the--railroader- to shoulder the entire cost, which would be tremendous. The gen eral public must doubtless be pre pared to share a part of the bur den. New York state has? set a good example in the bond' issue adopted for the' purpose of-doing away with grades. We know that .'total elimination-wilt take time. But the great trouble at the mo ment is that new grades are over taking us at as great a rate as the old ones are being removed.' We are still in a vicious circle.' The fact that it would require time and. money is not an excuse for failure to give the maximum pro tection at the grades now existing nor is it an excuse for the "crea tion of additional dangerous ones." ; Mr. Henry concluded with the statement that he hoped every leg islature that meets this4 winter will take cognizance of this mat ter land "pledged the aid1 of ' the aid 6f the 850 motor clubs of fill ated with the A.
