Trucks Will Replace
Trains for Large Part
OF Short-HauI Mail

The Post Office Department
yesterday announced that large
part of its short-haul mail traffic
soon will be switched from rail
to truck transportation.
Assistant Postmaster General
John M. Redding termed the mail
transport decision "the most i'm
portant basic change in postal
policy since the institution of air
mail" Although he refused to
say how much money would go
tc truckers instead of railroads,
Mr.. Redding said:
1.-THE field in which we can op-
crate amounts to $100 million a
year"
Not Caused by Strike.
The postal official denied that
the recent switchmen's strike had
much to do" with the diversion
to trucks. He admitted, however,
that a mail-pay case pending be-
fore the Interstate Commission
''has some bearing" on the
change.
The railroads are petitioning for
increases for mail transportation
amounting to 95 per cent over the
1947 rates. An interim raise of
rs per cent has been granted
pending ICC decision.
The changeover to trucks, Mr..
Redding said, would occur in gen.
eral in areas within 200 miles of
big postal terminals. This radius
would vary from place to place. he
added.
No Mail Change Here.
There will be no immediate
change in mail service in the
Washington area, Mr.. Redding
said. The Post Office Department
now has three highway postal
1outes In operation here.
Pilot" investigations have TAX
en- place in Boston and st. Louis,
and the information gained from
these inquiries is being used to
launch surveys in eight other
cities throughout the United
States.
Mr.. Redding said a meeting of
the general superintendents of
the Is postal divisions has been
called here March 10. At that
time, he explained. further steps
will be taken toward a conversion
to truck transportation.
