The Nations transportation
system is in q crisis because
of a chaotic patchwork Of In
consistent legislation and obso-
lete restraints on free competi-
ton among the different types
of freight carriers, David I
Mackie, chairman Of the East
ern Railroad Presidents Con-
ference, charged In an interview
In this column recently.
A solution is greater reli-
ance on the forces Of compe-
tition and less reliance on the
restraints Of regulation" Presi.
dent Kennedy told Congress In
1862 and again this spring Spe-
officially what the railroads
want is removal of the Inter.

tural products shipped by rail

maybe Government takeovers
and deterioration OF service.
Porter: What's the source Of
today's railroad problem9
Hershey: The source is that
when railroads were q monopoly
1t was decided. rightly or wrong
ly, that they should move Agri-
cultural, bulk and food products
at less than cost and move high
value manufactured products
above cost. This Is the value
OF service" theory Of rate max
ing. But then came trucks, Of
fering great service. and they
picked up much Of the high rate
traffic. Then came barges,
which when hitched together in
modern tows can move as much
steel pipe as 200 railroad cars
and at q fraction Of the rail-
roads cost.
The truth Ia the monopolis-
tic structure is at an end. but
we're still acting as If 1t ex-
isted.
Porter: What do you propose
to ease the transport problem? ?
Hershey: We are in thorough
agreement with President Ken
nedy about the necessity for re-
moving present inequities. But
the legislation offered last year
and again this year has COM
pletely inadequate descriptions
Of the safeguards against q pos.
sible cut-throat rate war be-
tween the $40 billion railroad
industry and the quarter
billion-dollar water carrier in
dustry. If all regulation IL re.
moved, no one seriously expects
the small, low cost water carrier
to remain afloat.
We would rather give UP our
present exemptions and have
all means Of transportation reg
ulated equally. This legislation
has been defeated year after
year because of opposition from
shippers, who prefer q situation
In which there Is q maximum
Of confused competition.
Porter: Are American tax
payers currently subsidiEing
water carriers, another Of Mr..
Mackie's charges?
Hershey: United States Corps
Of Engineers studies show that
many Federal expenditures on
waterways 80 for harbor i'm

barges have been proposed for
years, but communities have
fought against the taxes be-
cause Of the general public ben
eft which barges have brought

While railroad shipping rates
have increased from so to ITO

the inland barge lines actually
have reduced their revenues
slightly per ton mile. Barge
transportation has played q key
role in keeping down prices Of
basic commodities and in help

markets in an economical way.

the application.
Observers note Hiser may
now consider his vote in the

survival. His switch could

Over last weekend, four days

"I didn't get the impression
there Is factionalism," he says,
"not permanent factions, atany

Kendall thinks the Council as
q whole, despite ga few bumps
along the road - they've had
an awful Lot to learn in this

in a difficult job. He notes
they lived up to their "major

that they authorized a thorough
