What ODT has had in mind all | the time in controlling common carriers and private transporta- | tion, is the conservation of rubber, gasoline and rolling stock, and pre- evnting necessary wartime over- jand shipping from breaking down. The transportation situation is nearing the crisis. Over in ODT, they estimate the peak will come sometime around the end of this year. Hf we can survive that (the western railroads are really the pulse ¢§~ transportation’s condi- tion), ODT officials say we'll get oy. We'll get by in spite of the fact that only one new locomot is being built this year for every 50 now wearing out; only one new freight car for every 90 now be- ing shaken to pieces with over- loads and minimum repairs be- tween heretofore unheard of runs: and no_new passenger cars or buses Wf any type.

It's pretty generally agreed that travel rationing would be another major home-front headache and actuall¥would have very little <ffect on clearing out jams in the train and bus stations. Transportation officials esti- mate that non-essential travel has dropped to something like 20 to 25 percent of the total.
