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.
