Rail MerjeftTo
Continue Upward
Trend This Year
New York-iUPD-Thc railroad
merger fever is expected to
reach near epidemic propor
tions in the new year as the
carriers seek to reweave the
wasteful crazy-quilt rail pat
tern and to reverse the drain
on income that threatens the
continued private ownership
of the industry.
The matchmaker is the in
dustry's critical economic
plight brought on by the fail
ure of freight traffic to keep
pace with the expanding econ
omy in the post-war years and
a drastic decline in passenger
volume.
Despite a new record Gross
National Product, net operat
ing income of the nation's 113
Class 1 roads in 19G0 was 20
per cent below the disappoint
ing 1859 level and the lowest
since 1947. Hardest hit of all
were the eastern carriers
whose net was almost 50 per
cent below the 1959 figure
and even worse than in the
darkest days of the Great De
pression. Since railroad operations
are tied closely to the level
of the economy, the predicted
low-level of industrial opera
tions in the first half of the
new year casts doubt on any
significant improvement in
the industry's 1961 earnings.
Growing Trend
However, the growing trend
toward rail consolidations
promises a long-term improve
ment by the elimination of un
economical duplication of fa
cilities and service and high
plant investment.
The officiating agency at
the altar of rail mergers-the
Interstate Commerce Commission-has
repeatedly bestowed
its blessing on these unions.
"The climate is certainly
right for (rail) mergers," an
ICC commissioner said re
cently. But most rail officials are
convinced it will take more
than streamline mergers to
pull the industry into the 20th
Century.
New transportation legisla
tion is needed to permit the
industry to compete more ef
fectively with truck, air and
sea carriers, these officials
say. Dismal rail statistics ap
parently have put Congress In
a receptive mood.
The Industry Is hopeful that
President-elect John . Ken
nedy's campaign pledge to ad
vance "more realistic" rail
legislation will bear fruit.
Although some legislative
gains have been achieved-par-
liculnrjy in regard to greater
freedom to abandon unprofit
able service and government
emergency guarantees for
loans-rail mergers at present
are the industry's biggest aco
in the hole.
Two mergers were consum
mated last year and a handful
of others are in the works
or pending before the ICC.
But the acid test is shaping
up in the efforts of the Penn
sylvania and the New York
Central to form two massive
competing systems in the East.
Giant Step
The Pennsy already has
taken a giant step toward as
sembling its own super-sys
tem through the proposed
throe-way merger of the Nor
folk St Western, Nickel Plate
and the Wabash. The Pennsyl
vania owns one-third of the
N&W and all of the Wabash.
Meanwhile, the Central
bogged down In a costly stock
battle with the Chesapeake &
Ohio for merger with the Bal
timore & Ohio. The fight end
ed in a stand-off with neither
side garnering enough B&O
shares to effect a consolida
tion. The only recourse for the
Central is to persuade the
C&O to agree to a three-way
merger. Thus for the C&O has
spurned this offer contending
that the money-losing Central
would be too great a burden
for such a merged line to
carry.
Time is running out for
these roads. Should the Penn
sy succeed in getting the jump
on them they would find
themselves surrounded by the
nation's biggest road and Its
controlled lines, tipping the
eastern rail power balance
perhaps unalterably in favor
of the Pennsylvania.

Memphis, Tenn. (ITD-A man
walked Into a rleanlng estab

Holdcn. behind the counter,
that "You're on fire here."
Sure enough, unknown to
the busy Mrs. Holden, the
ceiling was full of smoke from
the fluorescent light. She
hadn't noticed It. Mrs. Holden
turned off the switch to the
light and summoned firemen.
