PUBLIC INTEREST VS.. SPECIAL
INTEREST


Railroad freight rates should be regulated
in the interest of the public and not for the
special protection of motor or water carriers.
Yet the fact is that, in late years, rate regula-
tion has simply not followed that reasonable
principle.
Actually, it is also the principle that Con-
gress approved when the Transportation Act
of 1910 was passed. The Interstate Com
merce Commission itself provides authority
for that statement. In 1945 decision, the
ICC said: "As Congress enacted separately
stated rate-making rules for each transport
agency it obviously intended that the rates
of each such agency should be determined
by us In each case according to facts and
circumstances attending the movement of the
traffic by that agency. In other words, there
appears no warrant for believing that rail
rates, for example, should be held up to
particular level to preserve a motor-rate
structure, or vice-versa.
In the years since this decision was hand
ed down, many deviations from the announc-
ed principle have appeared. The cure is found
in new rate-making rule proposed by the
Senate Surface Transportation Subcommittee
after exhaustive hearings. Under the rule,
the ICC in acting on rate changes, would be
instructed to consider "the facts and cir
cumstances attending the movement of the
traffic by railroad" and not. by some other
mode of transportation. Regulation in the
public interest, instead of special interest,
would be achieved.
HOW ABOUT PARCEL POST
The new postal bill passed both Houses
of Congress without opposition, was signed
by the President, and will become effective
August 1. Charges for carrying mail, news
papers, magazines and advertising material
will all be substantially increased
The bill is designed to increase post office
revenues by $3.50 million year. However,
almost half that sum-$265 million-will be
absorbed by pay increases granted postal
workers. Thus, a very big postal operating
deficit will remain. This deficit has been run
ming at around $500 million year.
The new bill does nothing about a. post
office service which has contributed material
ly to the deficit for many years. That service
is parcel post. The current charges, as the
Hoover Commission and other authoritative
bodies have pointed out, do not meet the cost
of providing the service. So in effect, all the
taxpayers of the country are paving part of
the bills of those who use parcel post.
On top of that, parcel post is not basic
post office function. 1t came into being late
i'm 1918. And stipulations laid down then
by Congressional it should pay its own way,
that it should supplement, not supplant pri-
vate parcel services. and that it should not
unduly compete with private enterprise
have consistently and flagrantly been violated
ever since.
The least the taxpayers should demand
is that parcel post charges honestly cover all
costs-direct and indirect.

AN EDITORIAL ON EDITORIALS

In writing editorials commenting and
drawing conclusions on current events, every
editor is charged with a very grave respon-
sibility. There are many different styles of
writing editorials, and the reader is entitled
TO know something about them and some
thing about editorial policy.
In the first place, there is the free-swing-
ing editor, who has solution for every local,
national or international problem. This ed-
tor knows all the answers, and always has the
correct course of action, in his little or large
town at his fingertips.
Of course, this is an impossibility even
though this editor may carry with him a
majority of his readers, simply because he
spends more of his time getting acquainted
with the facts, and details a good case behind
every argument he presents.
The average reader does not have the
time to refute such an array of evidence, nor
is he informed to an extent to which he could
see through the one-sidedness of such edi-
torias.
Another editor is the one who tries hon.
estly to present both sides of controversial
issues and outlines general recommendations
or expresses az opinion in favor of general
course of action. This type of editorial does
not carry with it the solution to all of the
days problems, nor does it usually include
sensational attacks on persons or organiza-
tions or parties, which some people like so
much.
Today, most sober-minded editorial writ
ers exercise every care to bring to readers
educational and informative editorials.
In Milford Chronicle, the reader is offered
information and opinions which are designed
to help him form his own conclusions. We do
not attempt to do the thinking of the reader
in our editorials.
If You will read these editorials and the
news columns, and take advantage of other
sources of information, you will get enough
of news presentation to form your own con-
clusions. In any democracy that it what is
needsd, and although the editors opinions ar
needed, and although the editors opinions are
expressed for your information, it is not an
attempt to convince you of anything, or to
make you believe what someone else believes
Your duty as voting citizen is to form
an opinion of your own, based on a fair pre-
sentation of news events and facts, and this.
is the purpose of informative and educational
editorial columns today

END OF PILOTS


The Air Force announced recently that
a new rocket plane will contain a pilot, but
that the pilot will have little to do as the
plane races along on it's flight, because of the
development of an inertial instrument system
The plane involved is the X-15 research
craft which is expected to fly in 1859 for the
first time. When it flies it is expected to be
an amazing performer. 1t will be capable of
an altitude of some five hundred thousand
feet and speed of about three thousand
six hundred miles an hour. This is far in ex-
cess of anything that has yet been put into
the air.
The interesting thing about this an
nounce concerns the role of the pilot. The
Kills will be flying at such tremendous speed
the pilot will hardly have time, or the mental
capacity to make decisions involving it's
flight In enough time to do what is required
of him. Therefore, the inertial-instrument
system will do most of the work and some of
the thinking. The pilot will not attempt to
analyze the information provided by all these
instruments This work will be done by
lightweight mechanical computer which will
not only digest the information, but also in
terpret it. The main purpose of the new sys-
tenn is to solve guidance problems pilots and
missiles and rockets will face when they are
in areas of weightlessness-sa from the
surface Of the earth. One of the necessary
requirements of such system is to enable
the pilot to control lis craft enough to pre-
vent it from burning up by re-entering the
denser atmosphere too steeply, or too quick
ly.
All of which seems to indicate that the
day of the pilot, as the man who completely
controls the behavior of his craft from the
seat of his pants, or from the feel" of it, is
now at an end.

Harry S. Smith Elected
By National Group


At a special zone meeting held
in conjunction with the national
meeting of the National Associa-
tion of Insurance Commissioners
in New Orleans this week, Insur-
ance Commissioner Harry S. Smith
was elected to serve as the repre-
sentative for Zone 2 on the Fed
eral Liaison Committee. The Della
ware Commissioner replaces Com
missioner Nelson Parker of Vir-
ginia.
His duties will be to represent
the states of Delaware, Maryland,
North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylva-
mia, South Carolina, Virginia, West
Virginia, and the District of Col
umbia with the Federal Govern
ment in Washington. This will be
an additional responsibility for
Commissioner Smith but it is con-
sidered a high honor for the State
of Delaware.
Because of the present issue OF
Federal versus State Regulation OF
the business of insurance, it is ex-
pected that the activity of this
committee will be greatly increas-
ed since there are at present "a
different items in the field of in
surance being studied by the U. S.
Senate Antitrust and Anti-Mono-
poly Subcommittee.
The Delaware Commissioner was
also appointed by the National
President to serve on the Resolu-
ton Committee which will draft the
resolution for the national meeting.
