Oregon has charged in hearings before 'the Interstate Commerce Commission that SP is attempting to discourage travelers from using the train by offering poor service. The railroad proposes to operate the train, now running daily, on tri-weekly basis during winter months. Clyde T. Neary, one of three California PUC experts who tes tified Thursday, said SP is actual ly losing only $155,000 a year on the train instead of $1,900,000 as claimed by the railroad. Neary said this net loss is reduced by income tax deductions, leaving the linn with a cash loss of only $72,000 a year on the Daylight operation. GOP Leader Lauds Mark Neary said the train would make money if it were not for a $609,000: yearly loss on its dining car op erations. He testified the railroad could make a profit if it warned to by converting to buffet style or airplane style meal service. Edward M. Jennings PUC transportation engineer, challenged other SP figures by testifying that there was "considerable doubt" as to the accuracy of the railroad's maintenance cost accounting. He said ,SP car maintenance figures per mile were 42 per cent higher than a composite .figure for three otner railroads and locomotive fig ures were 30 to 50 per cent higher. He blamed the railroad's higher locomotive maintenance largely on inefficiency, charging that SP was not using modern repair methods in its shops. A third California witness. Claude Carlock. a PI C stall mem ber, said he had observed numer ous defects during trips on the Daylight within the last few weeks that would discourage the traveling public. These included such deficiencies as water leaking through the ceil ings in three locations, automatic sliding doors out of order, a bar refrigerator out of order, air pock ets in floor linoleum in the diner, a stuck baggage elevator that caused passenger delays, and an improper valve which caused over- healing of the parlor car. Earlier. Cllllord W. Ferguson. Oregon Public Utilities Commis sion counsel, said the SP provides only one baggage porter at Port land for each three ears of the train, in support of testimony that the railroad is deliberately dis couraging the public from riding the Daylight.

HILLSBORO IAP) Sen. An thony Vturri. Ontario. Senate Re publican leader, said Thursday night that Republicans in the Leg islature might disagree with Re publican Gov. Mark Hatfield, but that disagreements are healthy. In a speech at a Washington County Republican supper, Yturri said Hatfield "is not only a keen and intelligent administrator, but he is the symbol and epitome of an era that will once more bring Republicanism to the people. The senator told of how 10 of the 11 Republicans in the Senate voted against Hatfield s wish that the 1053 anti-picketing bill be re Such disagreements, he said. "illustrate the independence and the breadth of scope of the Re publican Party." Yturri said Hatfield was elect ed because thousands of Demo crats were "sick and disgusted with their leadership and the in consistency and deception of such leadership.
