Claiming that provision for adequate and efficient railway facilities to serve the people and industries of the United States has become a serious national problem, counsel for the proposed line asked the commission not to be influenced by "the narrow, technical and legalistic considera tions" advanced by the three railroad systems.

"Formerly, when capital offered to provide additional railroad facilities, as capital offers such facilities this case, its overtures were not subject to denial," Henry Oliver Evans, coun sel for the new road, told the commis sion.

"It is unthinkable that Congress intended that this power should be exercised to nrevent the construction of a supfffor railroad upon a super lor route, one capable of rendering exceptional service with exceptional efficiency and economy and with cor. responding benefit to the public. Such is the railroad which capital now of ffcrs in this case." (Continued on Page 2, Col.
