Friday Afternoon and All Day Saturday at The Wallace Hotel Manager of Alaska Railroad Opposes Placing Alaska Transportation Under Jurisdiction Of Interstate Commerce ANCHORAGE, UP proposal to include Alaskan transportation under jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission was denounced Monday by John H. Lloyd, manager of the Alaska Railroad. Lloyd was a witness at the first session of a Senate Interstate and Foreign Commerce subcommittee hearing on a bill extending authority of the ICC to the territory. Sitting on the subcommittee are Sens. Cotton (R-NH) and Schoeppel (R-Kan).

Lloyd said the bill would put the railroad, a common carrier, at an unfair disadvantage to contract carriers because the bill would not limit competitive ratecutting among contract carriers. The railroad would be restricted against reducing its rates while a contract carrier would be able to appeal to customers by offering lower rates. Lloyd said he saw other deficiencies in the bill in that it fails to provide regulation of oil pipelines or of the Military Sea Transport Service, which competes with common carriers. The manager said the bill is aimed at halting discrimination against communities, but he declared the railroad has never discriminated against carriers. Lloyd said the bill does not recognize the problem of one government agency regulating another.

In a dispute between the ICC and the Alaska Railroad, the U.S. Attorney would be called on to represent both sides. Among other witnesses were Volney F. Grace, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Transportation Committee end William A. Stookey, manager of Fuller Paint and Glass Co.

Both men supported the bill. Grace said the Chamber committee wanted some sort of regulation of Alaskan transportation. Stookey said transport rates affecting his firm had been raised nine times in two years and ICC regulation of rates was necessary. The bill was outlined James A. Murray, associate general counsel of the ICC.

Murray said if the bill were passed, the ICC would regulate operating routes and rates of transportation within Alaska and between Alaska, and the states. A territorial transport board would be appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Alaska Senate. The board would act as an advisory board to the ICC on transport within the territory. The bill would provide that any two carriers may be compelled to make joint operating agreements over one route between two points. Anti-Freeze Kills Kotzebue Boy, 12 Nazuruk, 12, died from anti-freeze poisoning Saturday after being sped to a Fairbanks hospital from Kotzebue by a 74th Air Rescue plane.

Nazaruk became unconscious and the 74th plane was called to pick him up. There is no further report about the other boys. The boy was pronounced dead 32 minutes after reaching the hospital.
