Athel H. Dudley. Phoenix, to Robert and Fred Wilcox and Fred DeWitt, all Medford, co-partners in the Green Streak Truck line, ended here yesterday. The transfer of the permit, which must be approved by the ICC, was protested by West Coast Fast Freight, Pierce Freight lines, Consolidated Freightways, Los Angeles - Seat tle Freight lines and Oregon-Nevada-California Fast Freight. The firms joined in the protest on the grounds that the partners could not carry out adequate service. Join in Complaint The trucking concerns also joined in filing a complaint charging that Dudley's franchise did not give authority for the purpose for which the pros pective purchasers intended to use it. Their complaint also stat ed that Dudley, who has held the franchise for about 12 years, had abandoned certain rights covered by the franchise by not using them. Attorneys for the co-partners pointed out that Dewitt has been hauling products which are exempt from ICC restrictions for the past 16 years and is ex perienced in trucking operations. Thev also called on vitnp:s;r: to show that the Wilcox broth ers are experienced in truck maintenance and in business od- erations. , The case presented by the freight lines stated that they can supply all necessary service to the area. It also stated that Dudley had hauled a limitpH number of commodities, while the DrosDective Durchasers nf Ihp permit planned to haul all types. STILL UNCONSCIOUS Daniel Mainwaring, 5, route 2, box 502, Central Point, who was struck by an automobile yesterday, is still unconscious at Community hospital, attendants reported. They said his condi tion is "fair." nari tint fitinrlav flaccifiAH im at noon Saturdays. ' Witnesses for the co-partners stated that, due to increases in population, business and truck ing operations have also increas ed greatly in this area in recent year?. Several local shippers al so stated that they had used Dudley's truck line for 15 years and had not been able to get similar service elsewhere. It was pointed out that Dud ley's permit is' particularly val uable because it allows him to haul to any point in California and not just to specific terminal points. Attorneys were instructed to file briefs with the ICC, which will render a decision later this year. Daily Weather Report FORECASTS Medford and vicinity: Fair through Friday. Slightly warmer.
