should be enacted to keep it out
Of the "for-hire" business.
One unusual case which has
been cited is that Of a piano
manufacturer who shipped pianos
in his own trucks. He delivered
them in refrigerated trucks, how
ever. so that on the return trip he
could pick up load Of farm
produce and some extra revenue
in the process. Many farm and
fishery products are exempt from
Interstate Commerce Commission
rate regulations.
Hope in 'Piggyboek' Method
An operation that appears likely
to give railroads a big boost in
their freight operations is the
"piggybacking" Of loaded trailer
trucks on railroad flat cars.
This operation, which has spread
rapidly since it was started a few
years ago, is being resisted by the
Teamsters Union, however, which
asserts it is putting truck drivers
out of work.
Railroads, which are paying 81
billion annually in taxes of all
types, are more heavily taxed
than motor, air or water carriers,
according to the report to the
Senate committee,
Especially discriminatory, the re-
port said, are State and local taxes
on railroad rights Of way. These
taxes-which truck, airplane and
water carriers don't pay because
they operate on public roadwayS,
airlanes and waterwayS-amount
to 5000 million year.
The study also found that the
taxes being paid on railroad rights
Of way were more than twice as
high as on other properties in the
same localities because Of discrimi-
natory tax assessment procedures.
In addition, railroads must
maintain their rights Of way.
Governmental contributions to
highways, airways and waterways
have totaled an estimated $162
billion, more than one-third of it
since 1855.
Railroad management itself has
not escaped some blame for the
decline in the fortunes Of rail-
reading. Resistance to change and
lack of vision have been laid at

but he added that If he came
to the conclusion that Mr.. Bowles
could be more effective in an
other responsible position. would
not hesitate to ask him to take
that position. :" p
Many observers thought Mr..
Kennedy would come to that con-
clusion before long.
Evening star., 1961-07-23

Freight revenues have been max
ing up the deficits, but with this
shrinking railroads cannot long
stand the loss from passenger
service.
The study for the Senate COM
mittee cited above suggested that
one answer to the intercity rail
passenger problem might be to set
up single rail passenger corpora
ton which would operate service
on selected routes chosen on the
basis Of need and probability of
profitable operations.
Commuter Problem Distinct
Rail commuter traffic presents a
distinct problem that is getting
more attention in the struggle to
get people in and out Of the big
cities. It is an expensive opera
ton for railroads, an operation
made more difficult when the
railroads have to compete with
auto traffic on Government
financed freewayS.
City officials have becom e
extremely concerned about the
growth Of freeways taking big
chunks of land, the need for
parking facilities once the autos
get into town, and the growing
problem of air contamination
from exhaust fumes.
Philadelphia is subsidizing rail
commuter operations to the tune
of $500,000 a year on two lines
carrying about 100000 passengers
a day in the city area. The Mayor
says the Federal Government also
should provide subsidies for COM
muter operations.
Some areas are giving, or are
considering, tax reductions to
railroads to put them in a more
competitive position with other
forms Of transportation.
Privote Corrioge Grows
In its meat and potatoes busi-
ness-freight-the railroads, as
well as interstate-regulated truck
ers, have found themselves COM
peting with private trucks and
unregulated commodities.
The report for the Senate COM
mittee said that private carriage
has grown phenomenally in recent
years and that legislative curbs

dent is looking not so much. for
fermentation at the State De-
partment as for a Smooth-running
operation.
And so it seems that Mr.. Bowles,
an idea man" who doesn't mind
spreading his views around, may
be on his way out of the No. 2
spot at the State Department.
Shift Possible
In an off-again, on-again situa-
ton last week, the President was
reported ready to move Mr.. Bowles
to another position.
Then, after considerable pub
licity, White House Press Secre-
tary Pierre Salinger said Mr..
Bowles was staying in his present
post. Mr.. Kennedy, at his Wednes-
day press conference, confirmed
that Mr.. Bowles was staying, but
he did not rule out the possibility
of later asking Mr.. Bowles to
take another post more i'll keep
ing with his talents.
Mr.. Bowles - platform writer,
campaign adviser on foreign pol
icy, former Governor, Ambassa-
dor. and hero of the liberals
has been described as something
Of a round peg in square hole
as UnderSecretary. The Under
secretary is supposed to keep
noses to the grindstone at the
State Department and see that
the administrative machinery runs
smoothly.
Mr.. Kennedy repeatedly was
concerned about slow performance
from the department as he moved
toward decisions on world crises.
Policy Matter
Some White House advisers also
were reported taking the view that
Mr.. Bowles overly concerned him
self with policy.
Mr.. BowleS opposed the Cuban
invasion, leading one of his sup
porters to comment that it would
be "a curious result if the first
head to roll after the Cuban affair
is the head of the man who cp-
posed it :"
At his press conference, Mr..
Kennedy said he has never asked
Mr.. Bowles to step out as Under
secretary. He said he has COM
plete confidence" in Mr.. Bowles.

pease the Communist appetite any
more than did the carving I'D of
Czechoslovalda.
Hard as it is to forget the Nazi
atrocities the fact Is that postwar
Germany is not Hitler Germany.
Even Israel, a land made up Of
those who suffered most at the
hands Of the Nazis, seems to have
a greater realization Of this fact
than some people in this country
who swallow Soviet propaganda
that Germany is again dominated
by 'miitarists and revenge-seek-
ers."
Such dominance could again
come about II we neglect our re-
sponsibilities and delude ourselves
into thinking there is an easy way
out Of the complex German prob
lem.
But the negative approach Inn
pllcit In Gen. Gays comment
offers no solution.
The starting point in any dis
cussion Of GerInany's future must
be that it is a nation, like any
other nation, made UP Of human
beings with a variety Of virtues
and vices.
The unwillingness to think of
Germans as humans, just as we
think Of Japanese, or Africans or
Latins or Negroes in the South,
may lead us into cruel compro-
misses. They may also lun us into
a false sense Of relief and security;
into believing we have solved the
problem by accepting the "reali-
ty'' Of two GermanyR
The West was indifferent to
Germany once before. The British
and the French shrugged off the
Weimar Republic. They looked the
other way when the desperate ef-
fort was made to create a moder-
ate, democratic nation in the bitter
aftermath Of the First World War.
indifference to the fate Of the
Germans I'm the 2O's was COM
pounded by postwar Vindictive-
ness and aided by the Communist
Left which helped TO squeeze the
life out Of the Republic. An these
factors combined 20 bring the

II became Inevitable.
II we turn our backs on the
Christian Democrats and the Soc
ial Democrats Of Germany as they
try this time to build democracy
and promote social progress. once
again we run the risk Of another

of the German people. That Is too

Of a promissory note from Khru-

Mrs. r. L. c., Washington
My letter requesting infor-

charities which you so kind
ly published brought a dozen
or so excellent replies.
I've analyzed the letters
rather carefully made some
phone calls for further in
formation and prepared the
following list of small chari-
ties that welcome household
effects and other give-away
items.
The Florence Crittendon
Home Bazaar. the new Pub
lie Welfare Training Center,
which is sponsored by the
District government, the
Saint Thomas Benefit Shop
and the Meriwether Home
for Children, will receive
items.
The United Spanish War
Veterans Auxiliary. the
American Rescue Workers
and the Goodwill Baptist
Church's Household Cup
board will also welcome your
unwanted articles.
All Of these charities are
located here. but there are
several places outside the
Washington area that will
take things off your hands.
In Alexandria. the First
Baptist Church Center: in
Takoma Park. the Sligo We'll
fare Center; in Pippa Passes,
Kentucky, the Caney Greek
Community Center; and in
Dungannon, Va, in care of
Miss Alice Barnes, the Cum

The larger charity organ
