Mr. 1-ouis W. Menk, chairman
of fhirlington Northern, Inc.,
said. "If the railroads do not
get the help they need, the alter-
native might well be costly na-
tionalization of our country's
railroads. From there it is
not a long or difficult step to
nationalization of competing
modes of transportation, or u-
ti 11 ties or industries, or even
the entire economy. Nationali-
sation of the railroads poses a
throat to the free enterprise sy-
-tern as we know It.”
