P|NCHOT REFUSES
 ID GIVE CHARTERS
Fears Penn. Railroad Would
 Have Bus Route Monopoly

Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. g CR - Charging a majority of the Penn sylvania public utilities commission with being completely dominated by the public utilities" Governor Pinchot has refused to approve charters for motor bus companies organized by the Pennsylvania railroad and the Reading company which, he declared, would give the railroads a monopoly over bus transportation on the state high ways.
 The applications, those of the Pennsylvania General Transit com pany. organized as a subsidiary of the Pennsylvania railroad, and the Reading Transportation company, formed by Reading company off cials, had been approved by the commission. The Pennsylvania con- cern sought charter rights In 55 counties and the Reading in s4.
 When the charters were ap- proved by the commission they designated no specific routes and required that application for cer- tifcates of public convenience be made for each proposed route.
 No Reply Made
 The governors statement brought no direct reply from the commits sion other than to make public a letter dated August IF, 1926, from Chairman Ainey of the commission to the governor furnishing infor- nation asked by the executive as to the applications. This letter in- formed the governor that the com- missions approval would not re- lieve the companies from the bur- den of establishing the need of the service proposed in any specific case.
 The present majority in the public service commission" Gov. Finchot declared, because of the recent reinstatement by court &C., tion of two of it's members whom l removed as unfit, is completely dominated by the public utilities. If l were to sign these charters, the commission could complete the railroad monopoly by granting certificate of public convenience without anybody being able to stop it. For this reason alone. even if these charter applications did not involve a fundamental public pol icy, to which they do, they ought not to be approved"
