Conßail plan goes into effect
WASHINGTON (AP) Consolidated Rail
Corp. (Conßail), a giant quasi-nationalized
freight system that would merge seven
bankrupt railroads in the Northeast, of
ficially came into existence Sunday.
But nothing happened, nor will it until a lot
of loose ends including the plan’s financing
are worked out.
Conßail has set a target date of Feb. 27,
1976, for actually beginning the new rail
operations. The date is tentative at best.
Congress had until Sunday either to vote
down or to change the reorganization plan.
By failing to take any action by the dealine,
the plan automatically was approved.
Now it’s up to Congress and the states
involved, including Pennsylvania, to work
out details of the proposed merger.
In the meantime the railroads, including
nine-month total includes 11,267 new oil wells, an
increase of 22.9 per cent over the same 1974 period
Gas wells totaled 5,215 but were down 0.3 per cent.
Dry holes totaled 9.247. an 11 per cent increase. ».
Exploratory oil wells were said to have increased
21 per cent over 1974. while exploratory gas wells
were down 1.4 per cent.
The Institute also reported that domestic demand
for petroleum products the first 10 months of the
year was more than one million barrels a day below
the record level set before the Arab embargo.
January-October demand was estimated at
16,154.000 barrels a day, compared with 16,629,000 in
1974 and the 1973 all-time high of 17,308,000.
John E. Hodges, Director of statistics, said
Gasoline and kerosine-type jet fuel were the onhjj
products to show January-October increases.
Gasoline consumption averaged 6,671.000 barrels;

than a “slap on the wrist,” the
report said.
“Mine operators offer in
spectors money, food, trips,
cars, tickets to games, lunch
es, liquor, women,
bulldozers and trucks in
return for not reporting
violations,” Mark Morgan,
who coordinated the study,
told reporters at a news
briefing.
Rep. John Seiberling, D-
Ohio, a backer of the federal
strip mine control bill that
was twice vetoed by
President Ford; said the
study “is the kind of thing
that gives us ammunition to
get a law passed.”
A new effort is expected to
be made later this week to
attach the strip mining bill,
which calls for strict en
vironmental safeguards and
would tax coal operators to
pay for land reclamation, to a
bill before the House Interior
Committee on federal coal

before.

Seiberling said he thinks
there’s a good chance the
strip mining legislation will
be approved, but conceded
"it’s close."
Rep. Ken Hechler, D
VV.Va., said the center's
report on strip mining "is the
best argument for the
abolition of strip mining that
I've ever read.”
"These data show the
bankruptcy of the regulatory
process," Hechler said.
Both Hechler and
Seiberling attended the news
briefing held by the authors yf

questions about its findings.
