ANCHORAGE — Highest com
mendation for the “excellent co

stacle!,” Col. Farrell said. “We
picked the best people to do a
big, tough job. They have done

Alaska RR Charged j
WithTrying toWipe
Out Competition
ANCHORAGE, W—The Alaska
Railroad is giving unfair competi
tion to the trucking industry, an
Anchorage economic consultant
testified at a congressional hear
ing Monday.
Appearing before the Senate
Committee on Interstate and For
eign Commerce, Ralph Browne
charged the government-owned
railroad lacks interest in develop
ment of Alaska and has tried to
wipe out competition.
“Railroad (representatives) came
down to this room a couple of
weeks ago and shed tears before a
House committee,” Browne de
clared. “The petroleum-industry
products pipeline from Haines to
Fairbanks, as well as proposed
Anchorage port development were
the principal causes of their un
happiness. ‘The future,’ said the
railroad officials, ‘looks dismal’.”
“I cannot agree with that state
ment,” Browne said. “I’m bullish
on Alaska's future and can talk on
it for hours. I believe the railroad
should be out attempting to devel
op new business rather than hang
ing on the ropes looking for new
ways to eliminate competition or
cutbacks in an effort to offset lost
revenues.”
Browne urged construction of a
trans-Canada-Alaska railroad to
be operated as private enterprise.
He called on the Alaska Rail
! road to create an industrial devel
opment department” to help de
velop new traffic by attracting
industry.”
Sen. Magnuson yesterday said
the Alaska Railroad’s method of
charging freight rates appears to
him “like saying to a defendant,
“ ‘We’re going to give you a fair
trial before we hang you’.”
That was the senator’s comment
after a railroad official told the
hearing Alaska Railroad rate
changes are made public after
they are placed in effect.
The testimony was given by
John Manlerv, the ARR’s assistant
manager. Asked if the railroad’s
policy is to try to make a profit or
break even as is the case with
some government agencies, Man
ley said they try to make enough
profit to take care of maintenance
and replacement.
Manley said some research is
necessary in order to answer all
the criticism. He said more an
swers will be supplied to the com
mittee later.
Larry Moore, manager of the
Alaska chapter of Associated Gen
eral Contractors, attacked govern
ment competition in the construc
tion industry.
