Project 10 would decrease administrative work and provide professional staff people to conduct leader training, program, and publicity. -All camps now maintained by the separate councils would also be open to all girls within the boundaries of the new enlarged council.

Senate backers were confident! the bill would pass without sub' stantial change. It would provide assistance to public and private groups to encourage research in water conservation. Tho Senate also was ready for final action on legislation that would help clear the way for sale of surplus public power in the Pa cific Northwest to areas as far south as Los Angeles. : Under a prior agreement, de bate on all amendments to the water resources bill was limited to one hour each, with one hour for general debate before final action. ;Th e administration-endorsed! nieasure would authorize outlays ol up to $100,000 per state each year to set up research centers at land-grant colleges.

Probably the toughest hand the intercollegiates is one in which North and South must stop below game in spades and then play the hand to make nine tricks. The bidding will not be difficult if East and West stay out of the bidding, but West is going to open the bidding and while East is sup- posed to respond one heart, there is some chance that he might bid, one spade in which case he can steal the suit from North and South. Playing at three spades South watches West cash the ace and king of diamonds and con tinue with the jack. Snuth's correct, play is to discard a heart from dummy. This ensures South an entry to dummy for a trump finesse. As suming that West shifts to a heart! South will take his ace and king and ruff a heart low. Then he should lead dummy's queen of spades. If East .covers South's worries are over. If East plays low, South must drop his nine of spades in order to lead the eight irom dummy and leave the lead there for a third spade play if East still refuses to cover If he has bid correctly and makes all these plays South will have acquired a well deserved par.

NEW YORK 1 NE A I - The, mishmash of federal and state laws and regulations governing railroads, trucks and barges coslsi you and me heavily. n railroad president I ques tioned said rail rates "are held at unnecessarily high levels by government regulation." He stat ed his road "would be furnishing Life Assurance Company. their rates at will on 90 per! could carry the iron goods profit cent of what they carry, truckers 1 ably at the lower Tates. But it bluntly the public pays "billions of dollars more than necessary" because the "hodgepodge" of laws and regulations has creased transportation costs" and limited efficiency of the trans port companies." Says Holding: the hodgepodge "restricts conielition" and "di vides transportation into the reg ulated and unregulated, the sub.11 dized and the unsubsidized. and as to right of way, into the taxed and untaxed. Take one example of the hodge podge: Barge men can change on two-thirds of their cargoes. A railroad that wants to cut any of its rates to meet competi tion must post its new rates 30 days in advance. Its competitors! can protest the new rates, hold them up in the Interstate Com says'merce Commission and the courts f , lf vif if 1 1 11 wlilliMm.i.iiWJu.,-.-..:., T j RATE CUT RULED OUT Ben Heineman, cha irman of the Ch icago and Northwestern, sought to cut a rate on iron and steel goods freight but was ruled out by the ICC on the grounds it would transfer business from other competitive methods of transportation. for months or years. The ICC may turn down the cut. Even if the rates are finally okayed it may be too late; competitors may have won the business. James Easter, president of the small Baltimore ind Annapolis line, tells me the story of one of his good customers, a firm that takes sizable shipments of con crete blocks. One day a truck ing firm offered to do . the iobi a little cheaper than the B and A. Easter figured his expenses, ueciaca ne could meet the com-, petition. He filed with the ICC for lower rates, asked his cus tomer to hold off "for 30 davs" until the new rates took effect. The customer agreed. Months have gone by. Easter doesn't know how long the man will wait. Easter thinks there are other rates he might profitably change to win back business his line has lost to the trucks in recent years. But he isn't sure the ICC fight wouiu ne worm it. snori wnne ago, I was in the Chicago office of a vounc. hard-driving railroad executive, Ben Heineman, chairman of the Chicago and North Western. In a few shor years he has pushed nis road up Irom near bankrupt cy into a sound position. But Heineman has problems. Private truckers had cut heavily into his Tail freight business. For example, he says these private truckers ship iron and steel goods from the Midwest to Cali fornia and bring back vegeta bles for cut rates, barely more than the cost of the gasoline to run the trucks. Heineman figured his costs, de cided he could cut his rates on iron and steel goods and win back a big piece of the business. Winning this outbound business would also gain him back a hunk of the return-haul agricultural trade, too. If the trucks didn't have the profitable haul out, they couldn't cut rates for the trip back. But the ICC said no. The com mission didn't question that he did figure a cut in the Chicago and North Western's rates would 'upset the balance," give ship pers from cities on the North Western routes an advantage over iron and steel goods shippers on other rail or truck routes which charged higher comparative rates. Caught in this "hodgepodge," Heineman complained: "I would like to ask . . . what incentives there are to a railroad management for the exercise of ingenuity and resourcefulness in the development of new cars or new techniques, if, when they seek to pass the benefits through lower rates on to the public, the Interstate Commerce Commission denies them the right on the grounds this will transfer business from another mode' of competi tion? "I had thought that what com petition was aimed to do was to transfer business, lawfully, prop erly and reasonably. I had thought non - discriminatory coin petition was designed to transfer business from other modes of transportation or, indeed, from lother railroads." I went to see ICC men. They said lowering all rates the rail roads want to lower would hurt the trucking and barge lines. "We have to preserve the trans portation system balance," one commissioner told me. But an other commissioner says that un der these regulations the com mon carriers railroads, trucks and barges "have, lost 60 to 70 per cent of the intercity traffic to private, exempt or illegal car riers." So they're all hurt. The new transportation bills the Kennedy administration has proposed to Congress would cut some of these regulations. They would permit railroads, trucks and barge lines to cut rates on about 90 per cent of what they! carry without ICC interference. The ICC would retain its power! to control price increases on-all! railroad rates, on a third of truck cargoes and on 10 per cent of barge cargoes. j There is, however, in Congress1 a strong feeling against partially TRANSPORT RtOAATION pRAJUOADS llW'-ReguHwt' t- TRUCK TRAFFIC (Twoflwdl Uwejulind) - BARGE UNE TRAFFIC - (IWTifAl Unf9uUld) CHANGES IN FTEIGHT HAUUNG SINCt 1944 RIP 38311 Cad 10 J9 0 50 M ISM ' . 1961 196J , loosening the regulation for rail- oads to produce freer competi tion.

So we may end up with more regulation, not less.
