By the Associated Press

An Interstate Commerce
Commission examiner recon.
mended today that the CheSa'
peake & Ohio Railway be per.
mitted to take direct contro
Of the Baltimore a. Ohio by az
exchange Of stock.
Examiner John L. Bradford
said approval of the C&C
request for authority to effect
the takeover would be "con-
sistent with the public inter-
lest"
The Justice Department 4
expected to file objections anc
ask the full commission to re.
ject the examiners recommen.
dation.
The examiner recommended
that the Gao be allowed tC
issue up to 2.055, 1898 shares OF
common stock, par value $25
per share, in exchange for
BIOS outstanding common
and preferred stocks, par values
500 per share.
The ICC said this is the
number Of shares estimated by
Gao to be required to acquire
all common and preferred B&C
stocks.
Keep Separate Identities
The two railroads would
maintain separate identities
and, to q large extent, sep
arate organizations under the
proposal.
The examiner said the two
lines generally serve different
areas and there is only slight
competition between them for
traffic" This is especially
true, he said, with respect to
coal and coke, the principal
traffic Of each area"
Such competition as does
exist for coal traffic." he added.
'is in the nature Of market
competition between mines
and this would not be affected
by the proposal"
Concerning other traffic, the
examiner found that the two
lines have competitive routes
from and to some points, but
such points are relatively few
and the competition for traffic
Is not severe.
Short Of Freight Cars
Mr.. Bradford said there is q
considerable deferred mainte-
name on the BIO and the
line has a shortage Of good
freight cars. This is especially
true. he said, of hopper cars.
The examiner also cited the
conditlon OF the railroads mo-
tive power and q need for gen.
eral rehabilitation.
"All Of these matters will
plainly result In stronger COM
panies. better able to meet the
challenges faced by the rail-
road industry and provide bet
ter service to the public" Mr..
Bradford said.
He recommended the usual
conditions for approval-that
the realigned railroad retain
all present routes and cham
nels Of trade. and adequate
protection such as seniority
rights and dismissal indemnity
for adversely affected en-
ployes Of both railroads.
