Aitchison Tells Transporta-
ton Club Long Burroughs
Are Facing Employees.
PORTION OF FORCES
TO BE CUT 40 PER CENT
Present Conditions Greatly In
crease Work of Commission in
Seeing That Law Is Observed.

The economy act will make 1t neces-
sary to press economies in the Interstate
Commerce Commission to the point Of
impairment of efficiency, Clyde B.
Aitchison, member of the commission,
declared yesterday at a luncheon meet
ing CT the Transportation Club in the
Raleigh Hotal.
In addition to the 24-day legislative
furlough, he said. it will be necessary
to institute administrative furloughs to
keep within the appropriation. These
leaves of absence would be for periods
yet undeterminable, he said, but would
vary in different portions of the COM
missions work from a month to three or
four months.
Many Face Long Furloughs.
There is the stern prospect" he
added, that good many employees face
a furlcugh until the end of the next
fiscal year
These economies will cut the effective
force Of the commission at least one
sixth and portions Of 1t about 40 per
cent. Mr. Aitchison asserted He
pointed out that much cf the commits
sion's work is>not within its power to
control, unless it simply neglects to per-
form its duty"
The great bulk of its tasks" he ex-
planned, ARE set for it by the action
Of other people or by mandate of law.
And unfortunately, in times Of depres-
sion many of these tasks increase in
number and Importance, rather than
the reverse. The competition for such
traffic as there is, is a fruitful breeder
of attempts to get the business despite
the law"
To meet this situation, Mr.. Aitchison
said. it will be necessary for all per-
sons dealing with the commission to
give 1t utmost cooperation.
Outlines Ways to Aid.
The speaker outlined ways in which
the commission can be helped to save
money and time. Among them were
the following:
Rigid observance of all rules: more
careful preparation Of complaints, fill
ing of fuller and more definite answers;
examinations and settlement OF COM
plants before hearing by the commits
sion wherever possible; fewer requests
for poStponements; stipulation OF facts
wherever possible; use Of the shortened
procedure method and, in oral hearings,
adequate but not too full presentation
of cases.
Mr. Aitchison was introduced to the
Transportation Club by its president.
Charles H. Bates. Other special guests
included Chase c. Gone, Deputy Sec
ond Assistant Postmaster General; Capt.
Fred w. Holt, co-ordinator of tratnc,
Federal Traffic Board; Arthur Carr,
chairman of the advisory board of the
American Automobile Association, and
j. M. Souby of Omaha, counsel TO the
Union Pacific Railroad.

is that the area was named BuzZards
Point after Daniel BuSsard, who was
prominent in Washington in the early
