we ALONE are responsible
for what we make of our
selves after we are here -

the Railway Labor Executives
Association, agreed with pro-
posals to charge other carriers
for use of public facilities,
repeal of the 10 per cent trans
portation tax, and subsidy of
railroads.
The one-day conference here
yesterday was called at the re-
quest of rail officials. who have
shown mounting alarm at the
tide of red ink in their Eastern
operations.
Governors attending from 10.
States gave a sympathetic ear
but clearly indicated they were
banking on Federal action
next year.
And one listener, Gov. Robert
B. Meyner of New Jersey, even
gibed at what he called "a cry
baby technique" by those rail
officials who blame government
agencies for their troubles. He
said the real cure is in arouS-
ing support from the public.
The public acts when its
pocketbook or its convenience
is affected" he declared.
Among those testifying was
Allen j. Greenough. president
of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
biggest in the industry, who
said 81 Eastern railroads have
suffered a s122 million loss in
the first eight months of this
year.
He complained that railroads
are regulated as if they were
still a monopoly. despite rugged
competition from trucks, air.
lines and barges.
Mr.. Greenough noted that
more than Sl40 billion has been /
spent on highways. SO billion |
on airportS and nearly So bill /
lion for waterways, while rail- |
roads paid for their own
facilities.
Similar testimony was heard
from Perry Shoemaker, head .
Of the Erie-Lackawanna, Jervis
Langdon. jr.. president OF the
BIO. and Alfred E. Perlman.
New York Central president.
Familiar Problems
A number of complaints and
recommendations had a famil-
lar ring. They were heard dur
ing months of hearings by
House and Senate committees
in 1858 on railroad troubles.
A question puzzling several
observers yesterday concerned
this point. How could Governors
hope to solve in one day of
testimony what Congress took
months to study before enact
ing a national transportation
law three years ago?
Gov. Powell indicated the
session was to brief Governors
and make clear their role.
Il think there's an unneces-
sary chasm between Federal
and State leadership in trans
portation policy" he said. He
added that a transcript Of yes
terday's testimony would be
given to all so Governors, and
that the National Governors
Conference may send witnesses
to congressional hearings next
year if a new bill is proposed by
the administration. /

Gov. Wesley Powell of New
Hampshire, chairman of the

and presiding official at yes
terday's meeting, said he ex-
poets President Kennedy's rec
concentrations will have a
powerful impact" on rail-
roads. The report is now being
prepared along with a separ-
ate inquiry on railroad labor
practices.
Il don't think there's any
more serious problem Govern
ors will face than the future
of the railroads." declared Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller of New York.
But he added that their woes
will be difficult to solve at the
State level until a national
transportation policy is estab-
hshed in Washington" He urged

pine seedlings were recently
planted with the new pine plant
ing machine purchased by the
county. This many and more will
be planted in the fall.
This lake will also be about
30 acres in size. With this added
source of water, the town hopes
to attract new industries. In the
years past. many industries have
passed Keysville by due to the
lack of water. Just few years
ago a Keysville factory had to
limit its operation due to water
shortage, an official said.
