~ the Associated Press
A railroad plea that single Federal

lowed today the announcement by
President Roosevelt that he soon would
send Congress a special message on
railroads.
r. v. Fletcher, general counsel for
the Association of American Railroads,
said his organization favored placing
rail, air and highway transportation
Under the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
Directors Of the rail association
gathered today for what Mr.. Fletcher
termed a general discussion of the
"precarious situation" OF railroads.
Joseph. H. Hays. counsel for the
western Association of Railway Ex-
ecutives, said railroads lose at least
s2,ooo,Oo0,00o annually to auto trucks
and that outlaw trucking" carried

States Rights.
The question Of States rights in law
enforcement arose at the Senate COM
mittee hearings on proposed broaden
Ing of the Motor Truck Carriers Act.
John E. Benton, solicitor for the As
sociation Of Utility and Railroad Com
missioners, discussing safety regula-
tions drawn by the I. c. C's Bureau of
Motor Carriers, termed attempted en-
forcement absurd"
Asked by Senator johnson, Demo-
crat. of Colorado, Are you contending
the Interstate Commerce Commission
is assuming the police powers of the
States?' He replied yes"
He added, ut is absurd to think
that the Bureau of Motor Carriers
could employ an army of inspectors to
enforce these regulations"
Proposal Opposed.
Mr.. Benton advocated an amend
ment to the Motor Carriers Act to
lodge regulation of truckers operating
within the State lines with State utili-
ties commissions, even though the car
rlers occasionally handled shipments
destined for delivery in interstate COM
merce.
Opposition to the proposal came
from j. N. Beale, counsel for the
American Trucking Association, who
contended such provisions would COM
plicate enforcement of regulatory acts.
H. Lester Hooker, member of the
State Corporation Commission of Vir-
glnia and former president of the
National Railroad and Utilities Com
missioners' Association. urged support
OF the association amendment, saying:
The amendment is for the
purpose of reserving to the several
States those matters that rightly
Justly and logically belong to them.
Lobbying" Told.
Mr.. Hays explained to the COM
mittee how he had sought by State
laws and city ordinances to keep
freight moving by rails rather than by
motor trucks. He told of trying to
get municipal ordinances enacted
limiting the weight and size of trucks,
OF using railway employees to furnish
information about truck overloads, and
OF stimulating State and local officials
to enforce truck regulations.

Raleigh, Feb. 12-J. T. Anderson.
Industrial engineer in charge of that

ing all available data on factory sites
and space in North Carolina. He
wants to know just what space, where
and how much can be used for various
purposes by industries anxious to To-
cate in North Carolina.
Some cities and towns have fur
nished these data to Mr.. Anderson,
but much of the information has not
been sufficiently detailed to be of
much value, he said
"Since good many communities dc
not seem to understand just what kind
of information we want and need, we
have prepared form containing all
questions we want answered. All that
is necessary is to fill in the blanks.
We will be glad to send these forms
to any desiring them,' he said,''
eff we can get this information we
can thereby keep our files up-to-date
on all communities which have avail
able buildings or building sites and
we win be able to supply, accurately
W
those who call upon us for the facts.
1--WE feel sure there are still many
places in North Carolina from which
we have not heard and which have
buildings or locations which might be
suited to specific industries"
He said that many inquiries are be-
ing received from individuals and
concerns interested in establishing
branches factories or entirely new in
dustries in North Carolina.
Recently Mr.. Anderson visited New
York, Boston and Philadelphia to con
fer with industries from which he had
already received =. inquiries showing
them to be interested in possible
North Carolina sites.
Though he would give no details, he
said the results of his trip are entirely
satisfactory.

Summary-The average annual "a
hour foreign passenger car traffic on
US-1 north of Raleigh is estimated at
624, representing an annual total of
228,O0O foreign passenger vehicles.
Foreign traffic is at minimum from
June through September, and is at a
maximum during January February
and March (Florida is obviously the
drawing card). The composition of
this foreign passep ar car traffic con-
sists of: 20 per cent New Ytrk cars,
10 per cent Pennsylvania, II per cent
New Jersey, and s per cent Virginia.
These percentages are in rough pro-
portion to the population of those
states to the north of North Carolina.
For the benefit of concentration of ad-
vertising effort and publicity, it ap-
pears, therefore, that New York,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey might
be given preferential consideration.
