International News Service:
WASHINGTON. Nov. 24.-"Take
the railroads out of politics." was
the demand voiced by Alfred p.
Thorn, general counsel for the ad-
visory committee of railroad execu-
tives as he continued his opening
statement for the railroads today
before the joint congressional com
mittee investigating interstate COM
merce conditions. The railroad law
yer asserted that while the railroads
themselves had been reformed. so
far as participation in political cleo
tions was concerned. they were still
under political management "
THE big railroad problem con-
fronting this coCOtry.' he said, will
never be solved until these great
transportation facilities. essentially
business organizations. are removed
from the realm of politics. and reg
ulated on sound business principles.
IL cannot be solved while conditions
allow any politician TO base his
whole public life on a reputation for
fighting railroads"
The railroad argument for reform
in the present system Of railroad
regulation was continued and elab-
grated by Mr.. Thorn. He pointed
out that not only were the railroads
regulated from a political viewpoint
by political organizations, but that
there were 40 separate government
agencies in the various states, and
the federal government itself, each
prescribing a different standard of
conduct for the roads.
