. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTONe

sources, you've either got to
submit full plans to ODT and
await clearance, or else you can
20 ahead with your scheme and
then file your plans. II ODT
and Justice don't like them, in
this latter alternative, maybe
Thurman Arnold drops down
and trust-busts you.
THE LONG HAUL CATEGORY
All this applies to local deliv-
cry joint actions. ODT has an
other category, called "over-the-
road carriers" which Covers
things like bus and trucking
lines. Says the ODT bible:
"Joint action agreements can be
put into effect by over-the-road
carriers only In accordance with
specific ODT orders. No such
orders have yet been issued"
Help!
Let us 60 into this thing calm
ly. The natural question Is:
"Why Is all this fuss and flutter
necessary, IL all I want to do is
pool my delivery resources with
Bill Smith? How does the De-
partment of Justice fit into the
picture? We aren't gangsters.
We're just a couple of florists
trying to save rubber and gas
Says ODT: Since most over
the-road carriers are operating
In accord with state and inter-
state commerce regulations, you
might bust some Of the anti
trust laws if you start making
private agreements with your
competitors. You might wind up
as a monopoly, against the best
public interests, and as such the
Justice Department Is interest
ed in you. We've got to be sure
you aren't pulling fast one.
Continues ODT: If you are an
over-the-road carrier, a special
order must be given by us au-
thorizing your plan. We have
not yet given any such orders,
because we've just scratched the
surface of this problem. A num-
Der of plans have been returned
to the carriers for further infor-
nation. We are thinking of get
ting out some instructions.
HOW COME
THE HOCUS-POCUS
Question:: But we are not an
-the-road carrier. We are
just a couple of florists named
Joe. We are local dealers, and
we wouldn't recognize a mon
opoly if it bit us on the leg
How come all this hocus-pocu:
as far as we are concerned"
Answers ODT: Well, how dc
we know you don't want tc
knock off a couple of unprofit-
able delivery routes under the
name of conservation? Maybe
there are q couple of block.
you'd rather not serve.
So this is how it sums up. II
you submit your conservation
plan and it is approved, you are
clean forever more.
II you 60 ahead with your
plan and then submit il to ODT
you are taking a chance OBJ
won't like it and will sic JUS
tice onto you.
And if you just ignore ODT
and Justice, and work out your
own salvation, really dire things
may befall you.
But it does seem like a cou.
pie of plain citizens could sit
down and work out a joint
benefit delivery plan without
all this commotion, doesn't it?
A lot of people are going to be
afraid to pick up a hitch-hiker
without first getting the green
light from Washington.

POOR BUSINESSMAN

SOUTH BEND, 1ND.-Four-

business venture has shattered
his faith in human nature-and

Willie had picked up his moth

When Mrs. Wilton Pruitt told
police about it they only shook
their heads in sympathy.
