‘Parcel Post

Called Unfair By Expressmen

Cheaper Rates Found to Cut

Info Business ; By EARL RICHERT Serivps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, May 26-—-The Railway Express Agency, Inc. is pleading with Congress for its

life.

It wants Congress to stop ruin-

ous competition from the Post Office Department by taking the department out of the taxpayersubsidized parcel - post freight business.

Railway Express said It has lost

g0 much business to the Post

Office Department's lower-cost

and deficit-running parcel post during the past two years that it has laid off 35000 employees—| nearly 38 per cent of its person nel. The bulk of its business, less than carload lots, is down 38 per cent, it reported.

Rallway Express raised {ts

rates after the war in a series of Interstate sion-approved increases, the total running more than 33% per cent.

Commerce Commis-|

Businessmen trying to cut

corners started using parcel post,

sometimes breaking down larger shipments into packages weighing fess than the maximum 70 pounds in order to take advantage of the much lower postal rates. Lacks Facilities The result, Postmaster General Jesse M. Donaldson told the House Post Office Committee, was to put the department in the freight business. “We have insufficient distributing and platform space, ferminal facilities, trucks and Suitable railway cars to cope with the situation, and all this makes our operations -more expensive.” he said. Mr. Donaldson estimates that the department will run a deficit of $84 million this year on fits parcel-post business, the rates failing by that much to pay the costs. He is asking Congress to raise parcel-post rates by about 12 per cent to put the government's package-carrying business on a self-sustaining basis.

dent of Railway Express, and Hartman Barger, general fepresentative of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, indorsed the proposed increase but sald it was not enough. Even the proposed increase would still leave parcelpost rates well below those of Rallway Express. Blames Shippers Their suggestions is' Congress reimpose the original maximum set in 1913 of 11

At the opening phase of the investigation Mr. Lilienthal's chief congressional critic, S8en. Bourke B. Hickenlooper (R.

Mr. Lilienthal later requested the committee to summon as ‘‘defense” witnesses such men as Secretary of State Dean Acheson, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, President James B. Conant of Harvard University, and Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, war - time bomb physicist now director of the Institute for Advanced Studies at Princeton.

off. He-estimated it would reduce post office business by 15 per cent and save taxpayers millions by reducing the need for new post office space. “It is the commercial shipper who has aggravated the situation,” said Mr. Barber. “These are the people who should be required to pay for the service rendered them. They have no right to be subsidized.” Mr. Barber said that unless] Congress made it possible for the Railway Express Agency to com - pete with parcel post the company would be forced out of business. The Rallway Express Agency is wholly owned by the nation’s railroads. But company officials said the railroads would not beé disposed to keep a company operating for long if it did not pay its way.
