Metihedy Tackles Transportation
By Ralph Robey
President Kennedy finally has
fdflt his message on transpor
tation to the Congress.
No mention is made of the
rdcdnt report oh railroads by- the
special' commission which was
distfUsSdd in this space a few
Weeks ago. That is logical,
’fhait analysis considered only
thfe problems of the railroads.
This message looks at' the entire
transportation industry and its
basic purpose is to develop an
over-all policy for every ele
ment involved in this part of
our economic life, It is the
first time that this has been
attempted by the Chief Execu
tive.
In laying the foundation for
the recommendations the Presi
dent says: .“A chaotic patch
work of inconsistent and often
obsolete legislation • and regula
tion has evolved from a history
of specific actions addressed to
specific problems of specific is
dus tries at specific times. This
patchwork does not fully reflect
either the dramatic changes in
technology of the past half
century or the parallel changes
in the structure of competition.”
Those may appear to be harsh
words, but actually they are
mild in view of the present sit
uation of our transportation in
dustry.
Scores of recommendations
are made by the President.
They fall under four main
heads: intercity transportation;
urban transportation; interna
tional’ transportation; and labor
relations and research. By far
the longest of these is that on
intercity transportation. This is
as it should be because here
we have railroads, trucks, air
lines, buses, and the inland!
waterways. The present com
plexity of the competition and
regulation of these various sys
tems is almost beyond compre
hension. Some of them are re
cipients of government subsi
dies and some are not, and the.
methods by which they are tax
ed are about as varied as hu
man ingenuity can advise. To
bring order out of .this chaos
will take the wisdom of Solo
mon and the patience of Job,
but it has to be attempted.
The second longest- section of
the message is devoted to- rec
ommendations on urban trans
portation. This involves the
whole gamut of public systems,
and in addition the problem of
private cars, taxis, and so forth.
Some cities have done a rea
sonable job in meeting their
difficulties, but others have !
made practically no progress.!
And by and large all of them
want federal financial assist
ance for their programs. The
President wants “a long-range

i of federal aid to ot»r
■ urban regions for the revitali
zation and needed expansion of
'public mass transportation.” j
! j In’ the international field the
; j main transportation problems,
r as seen by the President, are
■ whether our ships and aircraft
’ are adequate to meet “proba
• ble military emergencies” and
! why, even with federal bulld-i
• ing subsidies, our merchant ma
-1 line does not grow more rap id
• ly and be better able to com
-,pete with foreign ships. No
! i specific recommendations are
1 madti in the field, but the Sec
' retary of Commerce, and vari
ous other government officials
• are directed to make surveys
. with a view of finding out what
. should be dbne.
i On labor' relations and re
■ search the message has little to
' say. The main burden of the
i comments is' that labor must
■ not be hurt; that collective bar- (
i gaining must be used to “pro
; mote efficiency”; and that we
i must hav» a “vigorous, continu
ous and coordinated program of
; j research.” 1
j Obviously this is a really long
rang program. Its strength lies
in the fact that it is an at
tempt to correct some of the
disgraceful rules now in force.
Its weaknesses- are that it will
> involve still more federal spend
ing, that it does nothing to elirn
-1 inate the many bad labor £>rac
;'tices, and that it injects the
central government still further.
' into problems which can and
' should be solved at the j local
level. j
Negroes Call Off
| Boycott In Edenton
! J The Rev. F. 11. LaGarde, re- ‘
tgional representative of the
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference, and Golden A.
Frinks, supervisor of the NAACP
. Youth Council, on Thursday
jointly announced that the eco
nomic boycott of the downtown
i area of Edenton lias been called
: off.
The reason for calling off of
. the boycott was to create a
quiet, peaceful and friendly at
mosphere so that negotiations
with the merchants pertaining
to fair employment practices
1 could proceed in good faith. j
The downtown area of Eden
ton has been boycotted for the
past five weeks. It was report
ed to be at least 51% effective
I by a NAACP spokesman.
i Foetiy is the spontaneous
overflow of powerful feelings;
it takes its origin from emotion !
recollected in tranquility.
