The Greyhound Corporation of Chicago has acquired contro] of the Florida Motor Lines Corpor- tation through. an exchange of stock, V. E. Abbott, vice presi- dent and. general manager of Florida Motor Lines, has an- nounced. By this transaction, the company controlling the major ida, becomes a par of a system w:th a network of lines through- out the nation, The ‘transfer of control. was apprbved: ‘(bythe Interstate Carhmerce’; Corhmission\on ‘Nov: 30} after hearings'ion ‘the; appli- cation , for '‘such) “action, \whiech began;:ih, Jackséhville. in ‘May 11944, were held by an ICC ex- aminer.

Abbott stated that the change personnel or oferations of the Florida company. P. G. Howe, president of FML, who has been in the armed ‘service, is sched- uled to return to active duty with the company this week. Other officials will continue ‘in their “/present’ offices and é¢m- ployeeg of the line will also 'be reta‘ned ‘in their current: capac- ities. As far as the public is eon: cerned, Abbott said, the change of control probably would not be noticed, exeept that the name of the company may be changed to incorporate the Greyhound title. Tangible benefits for i crased. passenger’ service ‘iW! matey will result from the: fac that ithe Florida company’ ‘Will tional equipment from © other sections of the Greyhound lines during Florida’s peak winter season. And the state of Florida will receive a greater amount of national publicity: since it will be included in the publicity and advertising frograms of the Greyhound Corporation. Natl.
