DO THE RAILROADS WANT
EQUITABLE HIGHWAY
FINANCING?


EQUITABLE HIGHWAY
FINANCING?
The above clipping was taken from
a railway labor magazine. Couple
with the recent activities of Mon
tana's Legislature it leads me to be
lieve the railroads are not interested
in trucks paying their fair share Of
highway financing, current assump
ton of many people.
The rails were represented IN the
lobby of the Legislature by compe-
tent personnel who are reported to
have made no move to promote a
highway program and when asked,
said they were directed to keep a
hands off, policy.
If the rails can put heavy trucks
on the highways at greater profit
it seems reasonable they will con-
tinue to do more of it.
They will lose nothing if they
compete on free highways with the
trucking industry. The highways will
only become more crowded, the wear
and tear will increase, and the cost
of construction and upkeep will be-
come greater.
Rail employees in the Legislature
supported a l cent gas tax and voted
against weight-nile. They said the
trucks are already paying their fair
share.
So under present highway taxa
ton, and that proposed for the next
two years, we are going to support
Montana's current trucking industry
and the rail transports increasing
business with a l cent gas tax on the
family car.
We are going to do it for two years
at least, and probably four, before
any program of weight distance could
be put into operation.
And in the meantime more trans
ports are going to be using the high
ways because they are most profit
able.

8 Nations Involved
The proposed charter was
written by the United States,
Great Britain, France. Canada.
Australia, Belgium. Portugal and
South Africa. It was circulated
TO all members Of U. N. and its
specialized agencies.
Some nations have offered
comments, but an American
spokesman declined today to say
whether the Soviet Union has
reacted to the proposal and its
vetoless board Of governors.
Russia originally wanted the
atomic agency placed under the
U. N. Security Council, where
the Soviet Union could exercise
q veto.
Under the proposed charter
the atomic agency would have a
general manager charged with
overall administration. Every
member Of the agency would be-
long to a general conference
which would meet annually, and
have power to admit or expel
members, approve budgets and
elect members Of the Board Of
Governors.
The governors then would set
policy. All decisions In both the
conference and the Board Of
Governors would be taken by q
simple majority Of members
voting and present. Each ma
ton would have one vote.
Not Named TO Board
Information circulated by the
United States and the other
countries who wrote the pro-
posed charter gave no indication
that India would be placed on
the Board Of Governors at the
start. This may have been one
point that amazed India.
During general debate In the
General Assembly. India's v. X.
Krishna Menon told the Assem-
bly, on Tuesday that India would
not accept q subordinate role in

''has to take into account the
fact that there are no longer
any people In the world who are
willing to accept colonial posi-
ton.

come an exclusive club with rules
laid down In secret to which
others must adhere. 1t would not
