new PENNSY LAW
DRAWS FIRE HERE
CCOnfinued from Fnn Page1

Olds, superintendent of the State
police would make no comment on
the situation, will probably be that
under the reciprocity practice, Penn
sylvania truck operators, operating
regularly down into or through
Delaware, more than 30 times each
year, will be required to take out
Delaware licenses in addition to
their Pennsylvania licenses.
Additional complications is antici-
pated in regards to the enforcement
of the gross loads permitted on
trucks. Under the new Pennsyl-
vania law, no foreign" licensed
trucks may operate in Pennsylvania
with trucks loaded heavier than the
new Pennsylvania laws permit. 1t
is expected that this ruling may re-
suit in some form of retaliatOry ac-
ton on the part of the Delaware
this coming winter.
