Try ltl GENERAL DEWITT VETOES HEARING ON TRAIN LOSS (Oonunued Proa Pag One) portation on the staff of defense transportation chief Joseph B. Eastman. Eastman has extraor dinary power over the move ment of railroad traffic. Boatner quoted a letter from President J. J. Pelley of the Association of American Rail roads saying the Southern Pa cific (which withdrew passenger service between Grants Pass and the California city January 12) is faced with an acute sit uation and finds It necessary to eliminate passenger mileage wherever possible. The city of Medford, Jackson county and the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce Joined in the formal protest against re moval of the trains until it could be determined by parties other than the Southern Pacific com pany whether military necessity dictated service curtailment or whether the railroad was using this as an excuse to carry out a plan based solely on its own wishes. The protest asked the interstate commerce commission to issue an order to desist until reasons for the train removal could be determined. It was al ways emphasized there was no intention to interfere- with war needs. The trains were discon tinued January 11. It was Indicated here that all the protestants, including Ash land, Grants Pass and Josephine county, would now accept the move as one dictated by military needs. It - was Indicated also, however, that the Southern Pa ciflc would be held to its pledge to restore the trains when the present military emergency has passed.
