An Interstate Commerce
Commission examiner today
predicted the disappearance of
intercity railroad passenger
train service within the next
II years unless there is a re-
versal of travel trends.
Examiner Howard Hosmer
based his prediction on an
analysis of declining railroad
patronage between 1947 and
1857. He said it indicated that
parlor and sleeping car service
will be gone by 1865 and coach
service by 1870.
Communication trains may be
in operation for a time after
that, Mr.. Hosmer said. because
it is not feasible to build enough
highways in and out of heavily
populated metropolitan areas

He submitted his views to
ICC after a year-long inveSti-
CATION into the continuing
multi million dollar annual
losses by the railroads on pas
senger business.
The examiner said these
losses are the result of the
tremendous imitation in rail-
road operating costs which has
occurred since World War II,
accompanied by a continuing

reduction in the revenue from
passenger train operations"
He came up with no sugges-
lions for curing the situation,
but commented.
1T is possible that some de-
velopment may stop the decline
and stabilize the traffic at some
level lower than that of the
present time, but no such de-
velopment is now in sight"
Mr.. HoSmer said the basic
difficulty from the railroads
standpoint is the American
public's preference for travel
by automobile, which now ac-
counts for more than 80 per
cent of all intercity tranSporta-
ton. He said railroads account
for less than one-third of the
remaining 10 per cent.
In general, passenger train
fares have advanced more than
so per cent since World War II.
Most communication rates are
now more than 100 per cent
higher But the railroad indus
try reported a loss of about
SIPS million last year on oper-
alton of passenger trains.
Mr.. Hosmer said the railroads

Star stan writer

Attorney General Rogers said
last night that it should be
recognized that certain Sec
tions face very difficult prob
lens in migrating schools but
asserted this gives them no
right to flout the Supreme
Court. =
IF there is a disagreement
with the Constitution as inter-
preted by the courts, the peo-
pie have a right to change it
by the orderly process of con-
stitutional amendment" he de-
Iclared.
Without naming any par
ticular State. Mr.. Rogers said:
mo one should overlook the
fact that in certain areas of the
country there are very difficult
problems of adjustment and
accommodation. But these diff
ficulties, / am convinced, can
be overcome-not, of course, by
an attitude of defiance, which
is futile and damaging-but by
a determination on the part
of men of good will to find con-
structive solutions within the
guidelines marked out by the
Supreme Court"
