Jack Anderson - -
William T. Coleman Jruis coming on strong as the new
secretary of transportation. In his first session with report-
ers since taking office he ventured the opinion that what
America needs is fewer railroads and airlines.
He may bejaght. given the sad state of both our railroad
and airline industry, but he is sure to stir new debate over
a basic issue of the federal government's transportation
policy. On.tfie one hand, government regulation of trans-
portation industries has always been based on the prin-
ciple that competition among carriers promotes efficiency
and the quality of service. History has proved the truth of
that principle during eras of vigorous competition for
transportation markets.
On the other hand, in recent years we have seen some
major railroads and airlines reach the brink of bankrupt-
■ cy, or go over the brink, because they cannot survive un-
der the competitive conditions which the government's
regulatory agencies are creating. Because it is in the pub-
- Ik- interest for adequate transportation service to-be pro-
vided. the government has felt an obligation to bail out fail-
ing railroads arid airlines with direct financial aid or spe-
cial regulatory concessions. ,
The administration has been moving in the direction of a
new policy of deregulation which would give transporta-
tion firms more leeway in adapting their levels of service
and rates to the realities of the marketplace, rather than
hewing to the often artificial dictates of regulatory agen-
cies. What ts disturbing about Coleman's approach rsthatit—

WASHINGTON <Sp> — Our
columns about the private world
of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
produced a Vesuvius of angry de-
nials and denunciations.
Individual answers to all the
letters are impossible, so we will
attempt an omnibus reply. We
will offer, too, a few details that
were crowded out of the origi-
nal series.
An enormous investment of
national interest, respect, affec-
tion and prestige was once made
m Jacqueline Kennedy. She was
a factor in the imagery sur-
rounding John F. Kennedy's rise
to the presidency and in the glit-
tering aura cast by his adminis-
tration
As First Lady, she occupied
the position of a national exemp-
1 lar. There is. therefore, a con-
tinuing interest in her that does
not cease at a convenient mo-
ment. an interest in the key
events of her life, in how she
conducts herself.
There is an historical interest.

sisLarice to ailing carriers would be offered by the govern-
ment to carries that are willing to combine with others to
provide services that correspond with some gbal that the
government would lay down. What would seem to emerge
is an industry that is still government-regulated, but which
is government-subsidized as well.
The main objection to the use of federal funds to bail out
failing transportation companies is that Uncle Sam is then
rewarding failure at the expense of well-managed, suc-
cessful companies. Mergers and consolidations are a com-
mon phenomenon in a free marketplace, but they occur
voluntarily. Some businesses deserve to fail, if there is a
market for the-same goods or services that the failing conn
pany was trying to provide.
Applying that principle to transportation services may be
difficult when the government has assumed the responsi-
bility to regulate transportation "for the public conven-
ience and necessity.’\However, it remains the surest route
sure of all eyes. Historians are
still probing and analyzing the
FOR STILL other reasons she is
a particular lightning rod for
public attention. Her choice of
lifestyle, which by ordinary
standards is exotic, attracts the
spotlight.
The Jacqueline Kennedy who
in the years of Camelot and the
days of Dallas won a place in the
nation's heart and imagination
left the White House with a pres-
tige that could have been a tre-
mendous force for good.—
When fate bestows a stagger- j
mg opportunity to serve man-
kind, it also inflicts a responsi-
bility that supersedes private in-

queline of at least $3 million in
tax-free bonds.
She also received a spending
allowance, which began at $30,-
000 a, month but was cut to $20.-
000 by Onassis in protest over
her spending habits She had
other perquisites such as charge
privileges in the famous shop-
ping emporiums of the world.
We reported further that Jac-
queline systematically con-
verted gowns, gifts and other in-
dulgences of Onassis into cash by
selling them off at fashionable
New York Citv resale houses.
As signs accumulated that the
largesse was ending. Jackie re-
acted by intensifying her ef- |
forts During her husband's fin-
al illness, she went on a shop-
ping spree at Bloomingdale's.

es told us: "She thought it might I

The late Aristotle Onassis him
self piqued our interest by*invit-

private talk. It turned out to be
his last conversation wjth a
newsman.
, He had little to say.about his
famous wife except for a mild
complaint about her extrava-
gance and her horsy friends. But
we learned afterwards that he
had indicated to his closest asso-
ciates that we could be trusted.
This led. some of them to con-

If Jackie squandered her late
husband's money, she was al-
ways tight with her own. She had
to pay out of her own budget, for
example, to repaint her Fifth
Avenue apartment. Once, she
called in a representative, of the
Union Square Painting Com-
pany and asked for estimates
When she found it would cost
$3,000 for the pain! work, she
cancelled the project rather than
spend the money. "
