Railroads Seek
Feutherbeddinq
Study by U. S.
By the Associated Press

The railroad industry yester-
day asked President Eisen-
hover to set UP a special COM
mission to study featherbed-
ding.
1t said make-work operating
rules are costing the rail car
riers half q billion dollars a
year., initiating prices and
threatening jobs.
The Association Of American
Railroads, in announcing the
move, said it follows failure Of
efforts to obtain union cooper

biased study and Recommended

The bill started out as a one
year extension Of an admins
tration-supported 1854 pro-
gram to dispose of Govern
ment-owned surplus goods to
friendly foreign nations.

It would authorize the Gov
eminent to sell up to SIS bill
lion worth Of surpluses from
bulging warehouses to foreign
countries for foreign curren-
cies and to donate an addi-
tional $500 million worth to
nations suffering from famine
or other disasters.
1t would continue the exist
ing authority to swap Ameri-
can food for foreign critical
materials needed for United
States stockpiles.
The food stamp provision
was added by roll-call vote Of
232-127, with Republicans pro-
viding most of the opposition.
The new section would author
ize-but not compel-the Gov
eminent to distribute UP to 81
billion worth Of surplus food
annually to persons on State
or local relief rolls, or certified
to be in need Of help.
Recipients would obtain the
food through local distribution
centers or through commercial
food stores which would re-
deem their food stamps. The
free food would supplement re-
lief checks.
All distribution costs would
be paid by the Federal Govern
nient.
Representative Su1liva n,

sponsored the food stamp
amendment, told the House IL

The reasons why are one
