oT President Talks About Transport Management 110DERN road transport tankers, WI operated by the National Coal oard, were enabling coal to compete on 4ual terms with other forms of fuel, Mr.

Barratt, marketing director, Yorkshire ivision of the NCB, told the Yorkshire ;ction of the Institute of Transport at s annual dinner at Leeds last Friday.

In fact, said Mr. Barratt, there had ten such a revolution in the position I the coal industry over the past three ears, from the image of a dead and ying one to a picture of virile enterprise, tat he forecast Yorkshire would soon :.come the power house of the nation ased on coal.

Speaking of selection for ton managetent posts in the transport industry, the resident of the Institute, Mr. F. Lemass, :neral manager of CIE, did not agree itirely with the thinking of Mr. S. G.

Deavin, deputy chairman of the North Eastern Gas Board, that membership of the Institute should be regarded as a prerequisite for selection for management.

It would be wrong, in his view, for the Institute of Transport to create what was in effect a trade union, where it would be necessary for anyone employed at management level to have passed the Institute examinations,

Nevertheless, added Mr. Lemass, there was a growing recognition of the fact that qualification by loT examination was being recognized, if not as a prerequisite then as something eminently desirable. and of more regard in the selection of management material.
