he left in his third year after
winning the Jack Dempsey
Tournament.
But Not To Hollywood
Earlier this year when Mr..
Dempsey was in town on
business, he offered George
a Hollywood movie role, por-
traying the early life of the
former heavyweight champ
ion in the story Of his life.
AS Mr.. Dempsey had previ-
ously seen George in action,
he thought he could see quite
| a resemblance to himself in
his younger days.
George was very flattered
by the offer, and of course,
life in Hollywood would be
very exciting and glamorous,
but after much consideration
he decided against it.
II would like to have a
try at the crown someday,"
George said, "and life in
Hollywood is not exactly
conducive to the kind of
life a fighter must live in
order to be successful"
Ever since George can re-
member his ambition has
been to be a fighter. He re-
ceived his first boxing gloves
from his dad when he was
l ten and from that day to
this his mind has been on only
one goal, and that is to be a
champion.
We are all roofing for
George and / sincerely hope
that all his dreams come
true.

"sHALL NoTs" PROPOSED

This Cabinet Committee came up with an almost
perfect example of kill the umpire" thinking. They
recommended, in short the three shall nots"-tha the
ICC be forbidden to consider the effect of proposed
railroad rate for example either the movement of
traffic by other carriers the rates of other carriers,
whether the proposed rate was lower than necessary to
meet competition.
The trucking industry water carriers and small
shippers everywhere pointed out that this would restore
transportation the law of the jungle which prevailed
before regulation We all said that it would enable the
railroads to destroy their competition to upset markets all
over the nation and wreck the economy.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-05-19
CONGRESS SAID mo"

strong effort was made to push these suggestions
through Congress and make them transportation law In
its wisdom, Congress refused to do so.
Again the railroads are n trouble they say. Again
there is drive to hamstring the ice and again is
supported by wellnentoned people who do not to
damage either the transportation economy the general
economy but who believe railroads need special help The
Senate has held extensive hearings this subject.
This time however the Department of Commerce
which had urged passage Of the three shall nots has
repudated them 1t has determined that if these shall
nots are enacted into law they could destroy competition
not improve it. In special message to the Senate
Committee studying transportation the Secretary of
Commerce has withdrawn support of the shall nots."
His message points out that this type of restriction
the ICC would promote the very practices which in all
other lines Of business run aou of our antitrust laws
In other words such restrictions would enable carriers
indulge in competition destroying activities which
would bring any other businessmen into court anti
trust charges
But what if these shall nots so widely urged
by railroads and Others had become the law of the
land? We would have had egazed situation in trans
portaton which in other lines of business would have
brought those guilty before the bar of justice. BY this
time many competitors would have been out of business
and all business and especially small business badly
affected
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-05-19
LET'S NAIL DOWN SOME FACTS

Railroads say they the efficient form of trans
poraton that the steel wheel on the steel rail has no
rivals in cost of performing transport service For
hauling that's far it goes But doesn't go far
enough simply because the steel rails don't go far enough
Rails nfexble Trucks are far and away the superior
service from the standpoint of exibity for great many
movements. For many other movements they are the
lowcost carrier In certain hauls water carriers have the
lowest costs of ALL but like the rails they too are in
flexible tied to water courses.
Railroads say that the ice has been holding an
umbrella over their competitors that the Commission
won't allow them to reflect their efficiency in rates because
it tries to protect the rates of competing carriers
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-05-19
WHAT ABOUT RAILROADS.
DO THEY NEED HELP?

Railroad business is down right but is business
in other lines Many railroads are doing better than
other lines of business Their volume not off as much as
either steel or the automotve industry, for example
Railroads with extensive passenger operations are
having trouble AS whole the railroads lost nearly $500
million last year hauling you, the public They make
good return investment by hauling freight lose much
of it hauling passengers.
In the ten years 1947-1956 inclusive they made
between SO and So return freight hauling in three
years, and sc freight up to $50 in seven
years This is the ratio of income from freight operations
to total rail investment in all property-passenger and
freight. That's not bad by any standards.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-05-19

tn THE HOT excitement of close ball game rabid fans
have been known to scream Kill the UmpTe!' No
Il ever takes such demands seriously because every
one knows you can't run competitive event without
rules and an umpire to interpret and enforce them.
In surface transportation of freight, the rules are
made by Congress and the Interstate Commerce Com
mission nterprets and enforces them. Competition is
fierce so we find those who would in effect kill the
umpire Others who would cripple his authority.
Four years ago the railroads had stepped up their
constant story of being n trouble to the point where
they asked for, and got, appointment of study
mttee 1t was made up of members of the Cabinet and
working group of men of considerable distinction and
reputation
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-05-19
TRYING 1T AGAIN

Now to correct this rank injustice" to this heavily
regulated industry and to break up this kind of state
cartel" the railroads and others proposing to
wreck the system which has produced the worlds finest
competitive transportation They want to the pas
enger train losses by dsupng the of competition
in freight hauling where they are enjoying economic
health It's great deal like suggesting delicate and very
dangerous heart surgery to cancer of the skin
Moreover allowing the railroads such freedom and
power in ratemakng could well be the worst thing that
happened to them Once before they had this power
and couldn't handle it and that's why we developed
regulation of transportation in this country.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-05-19
NOT OPPOSING RAIL AID

The trucking industry supports, has not quarreed
with, many proposals being made to help the rail-
roads financially to the passenger problem to emi
nate patiently improper competition from some trucks
that uneguated But cannot buy the theory that
fuyregulated truck service should be destroyed in the
hope that somehow this will help the railroads We say
fatty they important but that important that
this country needs all forms of transport that one
form cannot be cannibalized to noursh another.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-05-19
RAIL RATES RARELY BLOCKED

If this is they have valid complaint But it not
true and PROBABLY not true. Last year according
testimony before the Senate Subcommittee by the
Chairman Of the ICC railroads filed more than $4,000
tariffs containing within them hundreds of thousands
and perhaps millions of rates Did the Commission widely
interfere with the managerial judgment of the railroads
as to these rates? Actually 1885, of them were put into
effect Without protest restraint BY ICC! OF the remaining
liz which were protested, $50 permitted to go
into effect without suspension by the Commission
This left 4 of lcc of the total in which the voluntary
action of the railroads restrained while the Com
mission investigated In almost half of these oneourth
of percent of suspended rates. the proposed rates
were approved after investigation So the rail complaint
that the ice interfering with managerial judgment

KILL THE UMPIRE

and holding wide and benign umbrella over CON-
pettors based one-eighh of percent of all their
rate proposals.
But maybe these were big money cases. They
weren't Analysis of the 1857 suspensions in terms of
money has not been made But for 1856 when similarly
insignificant number of suspensions occurred the figures
available They show that if the railroads got all the
traffic involved in the rates suspended it would represent
just eleven onehousandths of 1 of their total revenue
for the year!
Is this umbrella" Is this interference"

ABUSE-NOT MONOPOLY
BROUGHT ice

Maybe you didn't know that fact maybe you have
read often and heard frequently that Congress
regulated transportation because the railroads were
monopoly" that you have to believe it. There's
only place to go for the truth You'll find in the
U.s. Senate Report back in 1886 which led the creation
of the ice There the truth apparent Railroads. while
they were in effect monopoly, were brought under
regulation not for that but because of the
of competition. Known the Cullan Report it stated
1.-THE paramount evil chargeabe against the operation of
the transportation system of the United States as now
conducted, is unjust discrimination between persons
places commodities and particular descriptions of traffic
The ndiScriminate and cutroat competition of the
carriers offered golden opportunity to those in
search of secret and preferential rates.
1t the position of the trucking industry that exces
sve and destructive competition will develop swiftly out
of these proposals to change the rules in ratemaking
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-05-19
Blueprint FOR CHAOS

Now have another proposal, innocent looking to the
general public, designed to help the railroads. 1t says,
in effect that the ICC in considering minimum rail
rate shall look to the circumstances surrounding the
railroad hauling Of the traffic and shall pay attention
any competitive mode of transport Here again is the
first shall not in its entirety and the other par

THE TRUCKING INDUSTRIES
POSITION

We believe every form of transportation should stand on
feet We ask favors in competition We believe
our should reflect the particular benefits and trans
portaton elements of truck service We believe this is
true of railroads. water carriers air transport and pipe
line service.
But don't believe any of can operate in
vacuum. We believe there must be recognition of
the existence of competitive forms of transportation in
every minimum rate proposal of railroad truck line
waterway carrier The interest of every business in
the country demands that have available for its
venience and economy and its market protection the
services of all types of carriers.
To compel the regulatory agency to blind itself to
the possibility that rate proposals offered for the sole
purpose of wipng out competitor to deny the funda
mental purpose of regulation protection of the public
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-05-19

TALLY. Again the trucking industry waterway operators
and small businessmen say it will breed destruction and
disorder in transportation and business generally We
right before and are sure we are right again.
