Chicago May 28 AP Secretary of Agriculture W M Jardine told a Midwest transport conference there is no basis for fear that motor trucks will seriously compete with railroads.

He emphasized coordination of railroad waterway and highway transport to maximize usefulness without harming each other. He noted short haul motor truck service draws loads from centers and may reduce rail use in some routes, but rail and other carriers remain vital to the economy and cannot be displaced by highway transport. He warned against rewarding trucks that destroy roads and noted the wartime view of trucks as a hangover from the era.
