RAIL HEADS APPEAR BEFORE COMMISSION Final Arguments on Supervision Offered at Hearing—Flynn Re- port Discussed. Railroad executives and truck and bus operators appeared before the In- terstate Commerce Commission today to present final arguments on supervision of interstate motor bus and truck oper- stion by the commission. A long list of witnesses for and against the adoption by the rail regulatory body of a pro- posed report submitted several weeks ! ago by Examiner Lee Flynn were listed for appearance at the hearing. Most of the argument centered around Flynn's recommendation that control of motor bus and truck opera- tion schedules and details of operating conditions should be handled by the State utility commissions and that the | Interstate Commerce Commission should have supervisory powers rather than those of direct regulation, such as the | commission now exercises over the nu‘ carriers in and between States. A. P. Thom, general counsel for the| Association of Railway Execmtives, headed a group of more than 20 wit- | nesses who were (0 be heard today and | tomorrow. Others in the group in- | cluded L. K. Strasser of the Wabash, | . M. Meighan of the American Auto- mobile Association, A. J. Brosseau, Na- tional Automobile Association; R. H. Culbertson, Washington Motor Truck | Association, and H E. Mangum, Motor | Truck Associatio | A series of bn( s attacking the find- | 4ngs of the examiner have been sub- mitted by more than a score of bus and | truck associations throughout the eaun-’ try, many of them holding that Fed- :;:chr‘ml;u:n of ln'tl'\tlledhul and raffic is unnecessary and not now needed.
