TO WITHDRAW
TRAINS AUG. |
P.R.R. Announces Suspension
Of Passenger Trains From
Wilmington To Delmar
EXPAND BUS SERVICE

T. M. Goodfellow, Superintendent
of the Delmarva Division, Penn
sylvania Railroad, announced Sat-
urday that Trains 462 and 463,
daily except Sunday, and Trains
460 and 461, Sunday only, on the
main line between Wilmington,
Delaware and Delmar, Delaware,
will be withdrawn as of August 1,
1949. The Red Star Motor Coaches,
Incorporated, are further expand
ing their operation to cover the
traffic that remains on these trains
between these points with air-con-
ditioned equipment. Mr.. Goodfel-
low stated that this move was un-
dertaken with much reluctance by
the Pennsylvania Railroad but was
forced by the lack of patronage on
these trains, the private automobile
and bus having absorbed this traf-
fic and have replaced what has
been known as purely local pas
senger train. Revenue derived
from operation of the trains that
are being removed did not cover,
by a wide margin, the direct oper-
ating expenses and the Company
was mourning a substantial loss
from their operation. Mr.. Goodfel-
low also pointed out that bus con-
nections with Pennsylvania Rail
road trains at Wilmington will pro-
vide excellent service to and from
points such as Philadelphia, New
York, Baltimore and Washington.

STATEMENT BY
SENATOR FREAR
Activities Covering Current
Congressional Matters in
Which He Is Involved
HEADS SUBCOMMITTEE

! United States Senator ]. Allen
Frear, Jr. Monday night called
upon Congress to reduce federal
spending in the interest of sound
national economy.
Senator Frear, in a racio address
over WDEL, Wilmington, to Della
ware citizens, expressed the belief
that savings could be effected by
cutting down appropriations for
the Armed Services, for the Marsh
all Plan and by reducing the num-
Der of Federal employees. The
Delaware Senator also stressed the
need for government reorganiza-
tion as a further means of promot-
ing economy.
Mr.. Frear declared that 'sThe
American people are rightfully
looking to the government for an
accurate accounting of its stew
ardship."
On the matter of taxes, the Del
aware Senator expressed the belief
that no further increase was like
ly. In fact, he added, 'I hope the
day is not far distant when a
further reduction in taxes will be
possible"
Affirming his strong belief in
states rights, Senator Frear de-
clared that excessive government
interference in the affairs Of state
and local governments was highly
undesirable, but admitted that
some matters, such as Social Sc
curity, could of necessity only be
handled at the national level.
Mr.. Frear urged the strengthen
ing of "our great system of free
and competitive enterprise-the
healthiest form of economy that
has ever been developed" He as
serted, "We must constantly keep
in mind that the greatness of this
nation has resulted from hard
work and initiative in an atmos-
phere where the only restriction to
opportunity is the failure to grasp
it."
The full text of Senator Frear's
remarks follows:
For almost seven months now
the 81st Congress has been work
ing with the many complex and far
reaching problems which beset the
operation of our great Government
Labor legislation, Public Housing,
the North Atlantic Defense AlIi-
ance, Federal Aid to Education and
many other matters have been de-
bated, voted upon and in some
cases completely disposed OF. Be
fore Congress finally adjourns, at
a still unspecified date, a number
of other critical matters are yet to
come before us.
In the course of the past seven
these various pieces of
have brought comment
and opinion from thousands of in
terested persons. Such concern in
the matters of Government is, of
course, highly commendable and it
has been my desire to encourage
all possible participation by our
citizens in national affairs.
In addition to the various bills
1 mentioned which Congress has
considered, there has been express
ed to me almost everyday in some
