that there is ample authority in the

Judge Lovett Declares.

Blame for the congestion of railroad
lines and freight terminals is placed
by Robert S. Lovett. director of pri-
ori.v. on the tag system instituted by
the railroads and the supply depart
ments of the Army, Navy and shipping
board. which gave preference in move
ment to all cars bearing official tags.
Judge Lovett explained that his state
tnent was made to correct "unwarrant-
ed differences that he was respon-
sible for unwise priority orders which
were charged by witnesses before COM
mittees and in reports with causing
the present traffic situation
