BY the Associated Press. NEW YORK. November 13.—Joseph B. Eastman said last night that many of the Nation's traffic problems could | be solved by co-ordinating all types of | carrier regulation under a Federal De- partment of Transportation. The Interstate Commerce commis- sioner spoke before the Academy of political science on “Transportation Problems and Suggestions Toward a Constructive Solution.” “A good start in rounding out the system of public regulation was made in the motor carrier act, 1935, he| said, “and I hope that the same thing can be done for the water carriers and the air carriers. “The government must see to it that eompetition does not take on unfair and destructive forms, and that the | operations of the various types of car- riers are combined and co-ordinated where that will serve the public in- terest best.” Worthy of Consideration. Drawing on the experience of the‘ British ministry of transport, Eastman said: | “The establishment of such a de- | partment of transportation here is | worthy of consideration. My own in- | eclination is to prefer a non-political, independent agency, associated with the (Interstate Commerce) Commis- sion.” Functions of such a commission, he | explained, would be to keep in close | touch with the transportation situa- | tion, watch developments, study the larger problems, foresee dangers which are impending, promote the cause of co-ordination and advise both | the President and the Congress in re- | = gard to transportation policies. Government regulation, he asserted, ®should be held to the minimum Which the public interest requires.” Without some regulation, however, | he said, it was not impossible “that | the time may come, as it has come in | other countries, when the system of | private ownership and management | will break down for reasons beyond | eontrol.” Eastman said that in the light of his three years as Federal co-ordinator of transportation he did not doubt “the practicability of running the railroads as a Government enterprise,” | but added that because of the “stag- gering difficulties” in taking over the properties, “I am not now urging it.” | Terminals Unification. | Samuel T. Bledsoe, president of the ‘Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Co., told the academy unification of some, and perhaps many, terminals effered opportunity for bettering the pallroads’ condition. Prederick E. Williamson, president of the New York Central Railroad Co., pointed to developments in speed and passenger comforts which he said had eome “out of the depth of the de- ion.” Virgil Jordan, president of the Na- tional Industrial Conference Board, viewed the railroads’ future as gloomy. “Underlying tendencies in economic and political conditions,” he said, probably would ‘“materially increase railroad transportation costs and de- press the purchasing power and em- ployment of workers in all other in- dustries, or they will cripple the finan- cial position of the railroads during the next five or ten years.” DERAILMENTS SPUR RAILROAD PARLEY Louisiana Governor Calls Confer- ence to Seek Settlement of Bitter Strike. BY the Associated Press. BATON ROUGE, La., November 13. —Gov. Richard W. Leche headed | arbitration efforts yesterday in a strike of Louisiana & Arkansas Railroad transportation workers as two train derailments were added to a long list of mishaps on the line since the walk- | out started September 19. Behind closed doors, the Governor sat at an all-day conference with railroad officials and representatives | of the four brotherhoods which called the strike. No word came from them as to whether they made any progress. The conference started only a short time after two L, & A. freight trains were derailed in North Louisiana. Rallroad officials said the wrecks re- sulted from pulled spikes and a tam- | pered switch. Three trainmen were injured in this latest of a series of wrecks, de- | railments and ambuscades which have claimed seven lives and injuries to more than a score, Three-Foot Cat Caught.
