misfit uniforms of new cadets. I lit-

Too much government; we are,
stiir afflicted with that. Here is the’
headline in one of the Nation’s great
est, most trustworthy daily papers: i
"Defense Agency Chief demands that'
Rail Roads add another 80,000 cars.”j
1 I quote further:
"The railroads are about to get';
this ultimatum: Boost your freight
car fleet by 80,000 cars, or else. That j
proposition, involving a 4.5 per cent
increase in the number of cars in
More
service, will come from James K.
Knudson, the Utah Republican who
1 doubles as Defense Transport Ad
ministrator and a member of the In-
Iterstate Commerce Commission.
Mr. Knudson believes the rail-
1 roads’ supply of rolling stock is in-
1 adequate for peacetime needs, let j
i alone defense requirements if an- \
other war should come. Important 1
1 to most businessmen, the situation
:could have an impact on freight!
rates.
j Mr. Knudson has already circular-i
ed a request for such a car fleet hike,
to some roads. But he’s expected to
make that request firmer this eve- 1
ning in a public airing before the!
annual meeting of the National As-;
sociation of Shippers Advisory
Boards in Omaha.
Though speaking softly, Mr. 1
Knudson will carry this stick: If the
roads don’t make studied efforts to
meet his goal within ‘a reasonable)
time' — say a year — he’ll ask the
I. C. C. to force them to comply.!
This it could do, he claims, under
its broad power to require railroads'
to provide ‘adequate public serv
ice.’
To meet Mr. Knudson’s goal ofj
an 80,000-car boost in the size of the'
nation's freight car fleet, the roads
would have to lay out an estimated!
! $1 billion in a relatively short time. 1
The railmen assert that if Mr. Knud-
j son pushes his cause they'll renew ;
, their demand for extension of the,
115 per cent rate increase now due
to expire at the end of 1955.
The I. C. C. recently rejected a
petition to make this 15 per cent
1 'temporary’ hike a permanent part
of the freight rate structure on the
grounds t|iat the commission could
not see economic conditions far
enough into the future. The railroads
are all set to make this comeback at
Mr. Knudson: Tf you're going to try
to force us to build up freight car
stocks because of the outlook for
permanent prosperity, give us our
rate increase on the same grounds’.
Mr. Knudson is hopeful of winning
; over the railroads by persuasion
rather than by force. Most of his 10
colleagues on the I. C. C. incline
toward the persuasive approach, toe.
Says Chairman J. Monroe Johnson:
Tt’s not practical to use force.\ Every
road would be asking for hearings.
There'd be »court fights, and the
whole thing would drag on for years’.
Possible outcome: A compromise
under which the roads would start
! building more cars, but probably
not as many as Mr. Knudson de
mands.”
Observe that the Government vir
tually demands this heavy expendi
ture. The Rail Roads belong to their
jstokholders; if the additional invest-
jment will yield a profit the stock-
| holders would probably approve It,
j provided the Company can get the
capital necessary. But if the addi
tional cars should prove •unnecessary
who will compensate the men and
women who own the Rail Roads?
We’ve had Govermnent demands
on steel ahd electric power and Rail
Roads. Let’s get the Government out
of our business.
