Truckers Blast Ike Policy as AidingTrains By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL WASHINGTON m A spokes man for truckers attacked the ad ministration's new transportation policy Tuesday as leading to de struction of the motqr transport in dustry and monopoly for railroads. A representative of the railroads testified the policy would correct an "indefensible situation" arising from uniust sovernment restraints applied to rail lines but not to much of their competition. Into the transportation policy kattle. develooinz before a House commerce subcommittee, the rival industries sent James F. Pinkney, general counsel of" American Trucking Associations. Inc. (ATA). and J. Carter Fort, vice-president and general counsel 01 me assocm tion of American Railroads. As a basis for possible legisla tion. 'the subcommittee is consid ering a report by a-cabinet-level presidential committee, this pro poses to rewrite the transportation law and ease tip on federal regu lation of railroads and other com mon carriers. -Wante Waste Trucker Pinkney said the com mittee's proposals would result in , -wanton waste" and --prospective chaos." with the Interstate Com merce Commission (ICC) com pelled to "stand aside and permit carriers to bleed themselves to death if they wish to do so. Its recommendations,' be said, would lead to a "ratecutting war." with "the inevitable effect of driv ing the independent trucking in dustry out of business." Railroads Exempt The new philosophy of regula tion, the ATA lawyer said, would "seriously injure all forms of sur face transportation with the pos sible exception of the railroads. He said it would result in dis criminatory treatment -and higher freight rates for smal . shippers and small communities and for shippers ; of farm, forestry and mine products, which go mostly . by rail Taking a directly opposite stand. Fort said the advisory commit tee's recommendations "are de tivnix to lav the groundwork for a more efficient and economical development and use of our na tional transportation plant and in that way reduce the over-all cost of transportation to shippers and to the general public." Even wih the proposed changes, Fort said, railroads still would be required to charge compensatory . rates rates high enough to meet the costs of the services involved. "If compensatory railroad rates would drive the trucks off the roads." be said, "it necessarily follows that trucks have no proper place in the. transportation sys tem. But such a conclusion is, of course,. Absurd.' ... Plant Secrets.; , Being Traced PASADENA. Calif.-UP)-One of the world's greatest mysteries how plants make food from sun light, air and, water is a. step ttearpr solution. iTniversitv of California -Scien tists who last year achieved the first photosynthesis outside a plant cell have cleared another hurdle in their effort to duplicate nature's rirk . . Marv B Allen, assistant Re search biochemist, described to th American Association for the Advancement of Science the new achievement. She told bow she and four colleagues broke into chloroplasts without disturbing photosynthesis ' action. "Chloroplasts are themselves liithlv Comdex entities." she said. "To make further progress we had to take them apart and reduce them to simpler units. Tne tirsi step in this analysis has now been awnmnlished. Broken chlororfasts not only carried on the regular functions of photosynthesis but did them about six times Better man whole cholorplasts." Berkeley plant nutritionists sac- ceeded about a year ago in taking ihm tinv lizht-eonvertine particles out of plant leaves without dam aging them. The particles, chloroplasts kept right on man ufacturing starch and sugar from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunshine. DIES READING WILL MALDEN, Mass.
