Humphreys has been appointed Acting Adminis trator of both the Transpor tation and Motor Revenue Di visions of the Public Utility Commission. He replaces James E. Singleton and Bjarne Ericksen, division administra tors who retired August 31. Commissioner Diarmuid F. 0*803001310, in announcing the appointment, revealed both di visions are to be combined as part of a reorganization pro gram within the regulatory a- gency. Mr. Humphreys is presently assistant commissioner of the agency. His new duties will be in addition to his present ones. In his new assignment, Mr. Humphreys is to prepare apian to merge the two divisions. Upon approval by the Commis sioner, Humphreys will then im plement the plan by January 1. Combining the two divisions into one was a major recom mendation to the agency from Governor McCall’s Management 70s Task Force. In its report, the Task Force noted “the pre sent organization structure re stricts agency operation,” It noted both divisions work with the same carriers, one auditing for weight-mile tax revue and the other auditing for rates and compliance. The Task Force estimated some 28,000 duplicate manual files on motor carriers are maintained between the two divisions. Commissioner O’Scannlain’s assignment to the acting ad ministrator is to remove the re- ported inefficiencies and dupli- cation and structure anewdidi- sion which will respond effec tively to the agency's revised statutes and rules going into effect January 1. Russell Humphreys joined the Public Utility Commissioner as as a consultant in 1969 and was named Assistantcommissioner in June of that year. He came to the agency having retired from the United States Army as Colonel. Humphrey’s military career provided him with extensive ex perience in the management of transportation services. His responsibilities included di rection and supervision of tran sportation operations, transpor tation supply and maintenance activities, development of man agement practices and pro cedures, and planning, analysis and programing of transporta tion and support service needs for the military. His major assignments were in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Hdqtrs., Dept, of Army, the Office of Chief of Transpor tation, and tours of duty in Eu rope and the Pacific. Having taken his bachelor of science degree from the Uni versity of Oregon, Humphreys went on to receive his masters of business administration de gree at the University of Pen nsylvania’s Wharton School of Finance and Commerce.

You can’t have much of one without the other.” Quality of Life Starts with Bread and Butter □ Economic progress means jobs, payrolls — bread and butter. It—with environmental improvement — can create a better quality of life for everyone. All of us need both. □ The best and perhaps the only way to achieve these twin objectives is through the greater use of energy other than muscle power. This is how Americans over the years multiplied production, made higher wages possible with shorter weeks and increased leisure time for workers. □ In our business of furnishing your needs for electric power, we know the demand today is twice as great as it was ten years ago, and we think that pattern of growth will continue, perhaps increase. □ So new plants to genprate power will l>e necessary on schedule.
