Robert Armstrong of' Regulation of intrastate truck transportation by the state railway commission loomed Wednesday as the commission ordered truck carriers to show cause Sept. 25 why it should not draft rule.s and regulations in exercise of its constitutional authority over them as common carriers.

The recent federal act giving the interstate commerce commission authority to regulate interstate truck and bus transportation was cited by the state commission as one reason impelling it to assume a jurisdiction it has neglected to exercise since 1919. The new federal act will make it necessary for the state to co-operate with the governmental agency, the commission said. No attempt has been made to regulate truck traffic by the commission because of lack of interstate regulation and also because of lack of funds to properly police the carriers, the commission stated. Frequently Asked. Frequent demands that the commission promulgate and enforce traffic also were cited as a reason for the move.

The commission indicated that it would require truck carriers to obtain certificates of convenience and necessity before they will be allowed to operate in the future.
