After de Gasperi's presentation OF

jected this but made different

Reed Claims Majority
For Revised Version
OF BuIwinkIe Bill
BY the Associated Press

Senator Reed, Republican, Of
Kansas claimed to-day that 1000
shippers organizations are urging
enactment of his revised version
of the Bulwinkle railroad bill.
II have never known any piece
OF transportation legislation that
had such universal support of the
shippers as this bill has" Senator
Reed said prior to opening Senate
debate on the measure.
It would exempt railroads and
other common carriers from pros
ecution under the antitrust laws
for entering into rate-making
agreements If the agreements had
the approval of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Hopes for Approval This Week.
Meanwhile, the House planned
to devote the major portion OF the
day to bills affecting the District
of Columbia If time permits, the
House may return to debate late In
the afternoon on legislation CIV
ing congressional sanction to the
State Department foreign infor-
nation program Barring such &C
ton, the program will die June 80.
In the Senate, Senator Reed said
he is hopeful of passing the Bull
winkle bill by midweek, although
Senator Johnston, Democrat, OF
South Carolina said he is willing to
"talk until I fall" If by doing so he
can defeat the measure.
The Southerner apparently was
relying on the fact that the Sen
ate's work list is jammed with other
important legislation, including ap-
preparation bills which are sup
posed to be law by the end of this
month.
Reed Claims Majority.
Although several other Senators.
including Tobey, Republican, of
New Hampshire; Russell, Demo-
crat, of Georgia, and Hill, Demo-
crat. of Alabama, were reported
ready to talk against the measure,
Senator Reed claimed IAN over
whelming majority of the Senate
is in favor of it. His problem, as
floor manager for the legislation, Is
to get it to roll call.
Senator Reed asserted that vast
amount of "unjustified propaganda"
had been directed against the bill.
Actually, If you let the anti
trust division go ahead filing suits
against carriers, it will throw the
transportation industry into chaos" "
Similar legislation. sponsored by
Representative Bulwinkle, Democrat,
of North Carolina, passed the House
last session but never reached a
vote in the Senate The House has
not acted this year.
