1 CHARLOTTE, March 21. —«*—
I southern shippers received essur
s° here Thursday that while the
.-y’s rail transportation system
C°U d a severe shortage of freight
there would be no railway
breakdown sufficient to affect the
national economy.
c Kendall of Washington,
h-airman of the American Associa
r.‘ of Ranroads’ Car Service divi.
tl0n said in an address to the an
S meeting of the Southeast ship
pers Advisory Board:
Reconversion Unhit
■There is a lot of talk ®Lout
freight car shortages but, rest as
' red that there will be. no eco
I!omic blow that will affect pro
cessing reconversion from war
fime economy.”
Kendail was recently appointed
bv the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to carry out its emergency
order under which box cars can
be diverted into the Midwest to
transport food stuffs to Atlantic
ports for shipment to starving
Europe.
Apparent Shortage
Ks 3 result of that movement,
and the railroads’ inability to get
new cars. J. J. Kornfeld of New
Orleans, retiring chairman of the
board, said an apparent shortage
In freight cars was developing.
But, in view of the experience of
the recent war years, he declared,
“with ihe unsurpassed teamwork of
shippers, receivers, and railroads
we anticipate no serious transpor
tation problems which a conscien
tious and practical approach will
not solve.”
Requirements Down
A committee report submitted to
the meeting said the Southeast’s
car requirements for the second
quarter of this year should be 5.1
below the figure for the first three
months of the year. The estimated
requirement was 988,311 cars.
In another address members of
the beard were urged by Dr. Wil
liam P Jacobs, president of the
American Cotton Manufacturers
association to think diligently of
what he called their “fundamental
problems.”
He quoted Father Walsh, geo
politics professor at Georgetown
University as saying, “The world
has become so interdependent that
property has lost its independence.”

TRUMAN OWNS
ON WA_CE IDEA
President Disapproves Of
Proposal To Read Demo
cratic Dissenters Out
WASHINGTON, March 21.—(P—
President Truman indicated disap
proval Thursday of Secretary Wal
lace’s proposal that those who
break ranks on major issues be
expelled from their party.
He told a news conference that
it is necessary to hold a party, in
line to enact its program, but
there is no set way of doing it.
Many Plans
Several plans have been tried,
he said, but none has proved suc
cessful. He did not mention it
specifically, but the last futile
move in that direction was the
late President Roosevelt’s 1936
speaking tour to defeat for renomi
nation Democrats who had been
opposing his program. All Sena
tors he opposed were renominated
and reelected. Only John O’Con
nor, of New York, who then headed
the House Rules committee was
defeated.
The President laughed when he
was asked to comment on the Com
merce secretary’s proposal. He
said he had not discussed the idea
with Wallace. He chuckled again
when he remarked he would be
happy to have Republicans join the
Democrats in behalf of progressive
mpasurps.
Realignment Try
Wallace's suggestion has been
interpreted by some Democrats as
an attempt to realign the major
parties into liberal and conserva
tive camps. Party leaders say
this cannot be achieved by a hand
ful of party spokesmen in Congress
forcing dissident Democrats into
the Republican party and vice
versa.
The President and Wallace will
speak here Saturday night at a
Jackson Day dinner which the
Democratic National committee
said Thursday would be the largest
in party history. I
Mr. Truman told reporter* he
would make a political speech, and
touch on foreign affairs only inci
dentally. Asked if he wouid an
nounce his 1948 candidacy at the
dinner, he smiled and said no. He
said recently that he was too con
cerned with other things to think
about 1948.
Party official* said the main
$100 a plate dinner here Saturday
would have a record attendance
of more than 1,700. This means
the Democrats will raise around
$170,000 for their campaign chest
at the Washington banquet alone.
Other dinners—from $50 down
will be held at more than 300 points
throughout the country.
