Railroad motor truck permit plan gains support in Senate
Washington February 5 Legislation to permit railroads to operate motor trucks and to make joint rates with passenger and freight traffic was recommended today by Senator Fulbright of Houston, chair of the National Industrial Traffic league committee. Hearings before the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee focused on the Cangras Bill to regulate via rail and track traffic. The plan would place both bus and track lines under Interstate Commerce Commission jurisdiction for rate setting, with rail motor and water services allowed joint through rates subject to commission approval. Separate companies would be required for operation of tricks by railroads. Fulbright noted Teague opposed federal regulation of truck transportation.
