Southern Says it Will Accept A&EC Without Camp Lejeune Railroad While representatives of eastern Carolina towns were meeting in New Bern Tuesday to lend sup port to Southern's fight for the A&LC Railroad. Southern an nounced in Washington that it will ask the ICC for control of the A&EC, even if it cannot acquire the Camp Lcjeune Road. The ICC ruled last week that j Southern could not have both lines, j Southern said that it was not in- 1 | tercitcd in gaining the A&EC if it could not have the Lcjeune line j too. Harry A DoButts, president of Southern, said that the two im portant reasons for Southern's 1 I change in attitude were: 1. To conform with the position I of the state of North Carolina that I it would like Southern to acquire the A&EC regardless whether the Murine line is obtained. 2. That the Union Bag and Pa per Co. plans to construct an im portant plant on the AfcEC line. H. P. Edwards, general manager of the A&EC, said at New Bern Wednesday that it is hoped that the ICC can give Its decision on the new proposal without lengthy hearings or delay. In the August ICC decision, however, the commissioners re porting said that since Southern refused to separate the two re quests and ICC felt the Lejcunc transfer unwise, ' no effort was made "to determine the merit" of Southern's acquisition of the AAEC Southern made it clear, however, that it ii?* no intention of giving . up the fight for control of the I Lcjeune line. In that issue. It ij supported by the Navy, Marine Corpt and Department of Defense.
