Debutts, president of Southern Railway sys tem, in a statement yesterday to THE NEWS-TIMES said that Southern "expects to protest" the report of ICC ex aminer H. J. Blond released Wednesday in Washington. Examiner Blond recommended that the ICC deny South em's application for authority to lease and operate th? Marine* ^urpa iBiuuau iuiiuimk w tween Cherry Point and Camp Le jeune. In another part of the report the examiner recommended that the commission authorize Southern "to acquire control of the A&EC." Two Go Together Mr. DeButts pointed out, how over. that Southern had "expressly stated" to the examiner at the June hearings in Goldsboro that Soutkern would not take the A&EC without lease of the Marine Corps railroad. "The examiner, thus, must have known that his proposal, if ap proved by the ICC, would kill the whole transaction. "We do not believe the examiner is right in his apparent conclusion that the selfish wishes of the At lantic Coast Line, which opposed the Southern's application because it feared some traffic would be diverted from it, outweighs the in terest of the Defense Department, the State of North Carolina, More head City and the other commun ities served by these railroads, all of whom supported the applica tion," Mr. De Butts said. Jan. 11 Deadline Exceptions to the examiner's report arc to be filed on or before Jan. 13, 1056. Blond, in his 31-page report, said tkat the exclusive use of the federal rail facilities serving Camp Lejeuae "by any common carrier," such as the Southern, is contrary to the Marine Corps' interest in efficient use of the road and would be detrimental to other railroada now serving Lejeuae ant Cherry Point. In addition, he said tkat Sou Jfcprn's proposed leasing arrange 'mem with Hie Jet, ttrnmcitt for the Lejeune trackage would afford In sufficient return to the govern ment. Blond suggested that the Marine Corps "solicit some alternate pro posals" by a privately owned com pany. Bids *325, MM Southern had asked authority to buy all of the capital stock of the At EC, from J. A. Bolich Jr., H. P. Edwards and E. R. Buchan for $525,000. The proposal was con tingent upon simultaneous approv al of its plans to operate the Camp Lejeune railroad. The AltEC leases the 96-miles of track from Goldaboro to More head City from the state, through its holding company, the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad Co. The state owns all the line's bonds and 72 per cent of its stock. Extremely interested in the ICC decision are residents of Morehead City and Carteret Coun ty who would benefit by Southern's serving the ocean port at More head City. In the face of current develop ments. it may be many months be fore the matter is settled. Ennis T.
