Free Train Rides for Railroaders,
An Ancient Custom, May Be Ending
* By SAM DAMSON
* Associated Pres* Staff
NEW YORK—Columbus discov-
ered America 402 year* ago. Andj
it couldn’t have been long after
that when those who followed him
began to angle for free transpor-
tation and various forms of free
loading. It quickly became one of j
the earliest of old American cus-
toma.
By your grandfather’s day, any
number of persons could get a
pass on the railroads for them-
selves and the family. Since then,
that has come to a stop for most
people, except railroad men them-
selves.
• * *
Now even the railroad man is
threatened with loss of an entirely
fiee-wheeling pass. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad announces it’s cut-
ting down on passes for officials
any employes of other railroads.
The Pennsylvania says smugly that
since it operate* “such a large pro-

3ased on the book r/ '"pyr bleated thru United Artist*
portion of railroad passenger ser-
vice” it has to carry more dead-
heading employes of other roads
than these carriers tote employes
of rhe Pennsylvania.
So it proposes that all concerned
start paying their own way, 'ex-
cept for vacation travel and emer-
gency trips. And it adds that trip*
to Washington to *ee regulatory
agencies are no emergencies these
day*.

Railroads aien’t the only ones
to exchange courtesies. The cus-
tom is widespread iri the profes-
sions. Doctors’ families often get
special consideration from hos-
pital* and from other physicians,
for example.
Free loading is an art widely
practiced in business. Officials—or
even hired hands—of a corporation
often take a valued customer ,or a
potential customer (who is likely
to be even more highly valued) to
lunch, or better still, to dinner and
a girlie show. It's customary for
the businessman to pick up the
check on his expense account.
* • •
Unde Sam is beginning to take
note of this great outpouring of
generosity and good fellowship by
businessmen as It shows up in the
income tax returns.
Corporations are being asked in-
creasingly to explain entertain-
ment items. Couldn’t the customer
have been sold if he hadn’t been
taken to the most expensive night
clubs? And did four of the com-
pany’s junior executives have to go
along—on the tax-deductible ex-
pense account?
So the Pennsylvania Railroad,
by suggesting that some deadheads
pay their way, could be striking
at an old American custom.
Remember, Columbus may have
laid the foundations for the “Home
of the Brave.” But he also found j
the “Land of the Free.”
