Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

THE resignation of Mr. Norman Morton from the position of general manager of Sunderland Corporation Transport, over the question of the future of the town's flat fare system, has been followed by a spate of letters• in the local press supporting Mr. Morton and his policies.

One letter was written by a conductress who pointed out that despite the fact that his policies would have made her redundant she believed that he had "done his best for us for 15 years". She asked everyone in Sunderland to send a postcard to the council.

Norman Morton him sel ft old CM this week that many letters of support had arrived at his home address. Some of these were from people who had earlier criticized his policies. And he added strongly that the attitude of the Northern General Transport Co. Ltd. in demanding a change in the corporation's fare structure (CM, October 13) was playing into the hands of Mrs. Barbara Castle and her PTA plans.
