Federalizing R.R.
j Would Skyrocket
Rates, Says Rivers
WASHINGTON, Iff — Congress
was asked Tuesday to reject ef
forts to put the Alaska Railroad
under federal regulation lest its
freight rates skyrocket even
higher.
Rep. Ralph J. Rivers told a
House Commerce subcommittee
he is impressed with opinions
that regulations would lead to a
•big increase in freight charges.
“Unless and until a great need
becomes apparent for putting the
Alaska Railroad under the juris
diction of the Interstate Com
merce Commission,” he said, “I
will be opposed to such legisla
tion.”
A different view of the bill was
taken by Sen. E. L. Bartlett.
Nevertheless, in view of the fears
expressed, he suggested a go-slow
approach until Alaskans get a
chance to voice their opinions.
As for - his own opinion,- Bart
lett said:
“Certain Alaska newspapers
j have published articles indicating
that ICC regulations would im
I mediately lead to at least a 20
percent increase in Alaska Rail
| road rates.
“I am informed that this is not
so ... it is hard for me to see
how Alaska Railroad rates could
or would be increased by acts
which provide principally for sta
bilization of rates.”
The only way the rates could
go up, Bartlett said, would be
to ‘have the railroad file for
new rates substantially over the
I present rate level.
“My purpose,” Bartlett 9aid,
I “obviously is to put the ship
pers in Alaska in a protected posi
tion in this rate and competition
struggle that is now going on.”

Ike Doubts If
Summit Talks
Will Take Place
By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH
WASHINGTON, UP —President
Eisenhower believe the chances
for a summit conference have be
come steadily dimmer in the last
10 days. He feels' Russia’s atti
tude regarding Berlin now is
tougher than ever.
This Eisenhower pessimism —
based on confidential reports
from the Geneva foreign minis
ters meeting—is known on ex
cellent authority. It embraces his
View that Soviet Premier Khursh
chev may not even want a sum
mit meeting.
It is also known on high au
thority that Eisenhower still is
dead set against any recogni
tion of Red China. The Commun
ists there still are holding Amer
icans as prisoners.
It can be reported, too, on sim
ilar authority that:
h:also ais$t?H
1. Despite his pessimism, Eisen
hower remains perfectly willing
to attend a summit meeting, pro
vided there is decent progress at -
Geneva.
2. Regardless of talk by Krem
lin officials, Eisenhower is not
convinced the Russians really
want a summit meeting. He thinks
the Soviets’ real objective may be
to split the Western Allies, parti
cularly the United States and
Britain. .
3. The President is convinced
the Soviet leaders do not want
a major war. But he is fearful
that Kremlin miscalculations or
some series of developments could
touch off a conflict.
4. If war should come, the
Western allies would have to de
cide whether to use nuclear wea
pons. So far as the United States
is concerned, it would depend on
what is best for the security of
the country.
5. The greatest fear of the
Kremlin chief, Eisenhower be
lieves, is a resurgent Germany
and a strong Red China.
