House Committee to Probe Freight Car Shortages Nationwide
Washington AP Harley O Staggers chair of the House Commerce Committee will lead a summer nationwide probe into freight car shortages. Hearings will collect testimony from users and railroads on car availability and costs while reviewing current laws and proposals for more cars and better utilization of fleets. ICC opposes federal backing and Magnussen floated a quasipublic car pool to handle shortages. Evidence suggests 100000 new cars needed yearly though 66000 were added last year.
