RAIL ISSUES REPORTED FIRM Barrage Of World News Fails To Force Upset NEW YORK, Sept. 6 —(A5)—A barrage of news, mostly from Washington, barely jarred rail road issues in the bond market this week. Carrier liens on the average closed Friday a few notches lower than a week earlier and j^t about midway between the high and low marks for the year thus far. A few issues displayed independent strength. •Industrial and utility obligations trailed a bit lower but activity as usual centered on the rail!. Volume totaled $13,253,000 for the short week, compared with $13,444,000 in the preceding week and $28,084,000 a year earlier. Developments specifically af fecting the railways — and to which railroad bonds showed a notable indifference-included: Tuesday: Some 1,000,000 non-op erating rail employes were awarded a 15 1-2 cents hourly Wage lift. The roads figured this would flip thei.- payroll costs up ward by $438,340,000 annually. Wednesday: The Association of American Railroads estimated class one railroad net income in July totaled $37,000,000 up $4,300, 000* from July last year. For the first seven months, AAR esti mated net at $243,000,000, against $12,000,000 in the similar 1946 period. The association said early itno earnings were “abnormally low’’ due to continued industrial dis turbances, and work stoppages. ■Thursday: The Pullman co., owned jointly by the railroads, was granted permission by the In terstate Commerce commission to increase sleeping car charges 1 to 48.9 per cent. Friday: Some 65,000 railway ex press workers were allowed n 15 1-2 cent increase. And the railroads, with a freight rate request averaging 16.7 per cent only pending, asked the ICC to allow them to raise charges an average of 27 per cent. The rails based their argument on wage dnd cost increases. World .Bank bonds slipped to new lows since issuance earlier this summer. Dealers attributed the declines to concern over events abroad, possibility of an other new World Dank .loan in the near future, and the suggestion from England that we redistribute pur gold supplies. In the new financing market only a few deals of any size were reported. Next week, though, promised to be another story with about $200,000,000 corporate and municipal bond issues scheduled for distribution. Close watch was kept by inves tors on the rate of redemption of G.I. terminal leave bonds. With about $1,800,000,000 outstanding, it tvas believed possible more than Half would be converted into cash. A.n initial rush to convert, how tver, failed to follow through. U. S. Treasury announced sev eral financial deals, including terms of the new non-msrketable bonds. The bonds, carrying a 2 1-2 per cent coupon and matur/ng In 18 years, will be offered on a subscription basis. Proceeds will fie used for financing outstanding Indebtedness. Little if any market reaction ivas anticipated. NAVAL RECRVIT Applications are desired from men peeking amphibious manueouvers $ff Miami, Fla., from October 3 until the 16, it was announced jresterday by Lt. Henry Bost, dis trict repesentative of the Naval Reseve.

Two Aviation Groups To Study Aircraft Needs Of Nation By Fred J. Zusy WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.— (/P) — Two groups, one named by the President and the other by Con gress, will attempt to work out a national aviation policy this fall to insure American defense. They will be spurred on by warnings such as the one voiced to a congressional committee by Maj. Gen. Oliver P. Echols, presi dent of the Aircraft Industries as sociation, a manufacturers’ group, who declared: “This industry believed Ameri can leadership in the air is being placed in jeopardy by lack of a national air power policy.” A congressional aviation policy board consisting of five members of the Senate and five of the House, ordered by Congress last session to study the needs of American aviation, plans to or ganize its activities at a meeting in Chicago this month. The session was called original ly for Sept. 3 but was postponed because other business occupied members of the committee. No definite date has been set. The President’s air policy com mission will assembly data to ad vise Mr. Truman on air policy on a week’s trip in early October to aircraft plants throughout the country. The tour will include a stop at Wright Field, O., head quarters of the AAF material divi sion. The President’s commission, headed by Thomas K. Finletter, will make its report Jan. 1.

DRUNKEN DRIVING RALEIGH, Sept. 6.— (U.R) — Drunken driving- along North Carolina roads and highways doubled in a year and the State Motor Vehicle department said in a monthly summary of traffic violations released today that mo torists were showing less regard for the law. joint Senate - House consmitte is due to report to Congress March 1. Congress asserted in establish ing the Senate - House committee that its purpose was to formulate and clarify aviation policies, in cluding maintenance of an “ade quate” manufacturing industry. The committe also will survey commercial air lines. Some Republicans say “politics” was involved in the appointment of the President’s commission, and that Mr. Truman named his board in anticipation of the action of the Republican - dominated Congress. Echols, formerly in charge of AAF procurement at Wright Field and later in Washington, testified before a Senate Aviation subcom mitte in May that studies show ed the United States needs to pro duce 5,780 military planes annual ly as long as it requires “a strik ing force ready at all times to cooperate in the maintenance of world peace.” He said the study also showed a minimum output of 3,000 mili tary planes a year was recom mended “only after the mainte nance of world peace is well as sured.” He said actual military plane production last year was 1,330 planes, excluding 467 two and four-engine transports manu factured for commercial use. He recommended that a five - year program be set up. Members of the congressional committe are Senators Brewster (R-ME), Hawkes (R - NJ), Cape hart tR-Ind), Johnson (D-Colo) and McFarland (D-Ariz) and Rep resentatives Hinshaw (R - Calif), Wolverton (R-NJ), Stefan (R-Neb) Bulwinkle (D-NC) and Kilday (D Tex). * This group will pick a chair man and vice chairman at its or ganization meeting and is expect ed to formulate an advisory com mitte representing manufac turers, airlines and the arm ed services. A spokesman for one member said “some field investi gation” is planned and hearings may be held here early next year in preparation for the final report to Congress. Brewster,' as senior Republican senator on the committe, would be in line for the chairmanship, of a War Investigating com mitte dealing with some phases of the industry, including the How ard Hughes probe. If he declines, Hawkes would be next in line.

E- APPLEGATE NEW YORK, Sept. 6. — (#) — Through coast-to-coast trains are definitely in the future transpor tation picture despite the serious ness of current obstacles. Highest hurdle to be surmount ed is the railroads’ lack of ade quate equipment to sustain such service. Relatively few new cars of the type needed for transcontinental trains have been delivered. Until these come in volume, and none will predict just when that will be, don’t look for through trains across the continent. Operating problems— the mesh ing of schedules east and west of the Chicago and St. Louis gate ways, provision for motive power and train crews—can be met with less difficulty. Present through service be tween the coasts is limited to in dividual cars operating by way of Chicago, west of which the lines fan out and offer the traveler a variety of routes. wnen transcontinental trams are scheduled, many of them will follow the Chicago course. But at least one new route has been list ed as a probability. Pennsylvania railroad officials said consideration had been given to the operation of a through train over its line to St. Louis, thence over the Missouri Pacific and Texas & Pacific to 1 Paso and Southern Pacific to Los Angeles. They stressed, however, that this was one of many possibilities and that there was no near prospect of its establishment. Such a route, which includes that used by the “Sunshine Spe cial’’ in hauling through cars be tween the east and a number of Texas cities, would amount to slightly less than 3,300 miles, New York to Los Angeles. Most of the through cars now operated cover from 3,100 to more than 3,040 miles in crossing the continent. Transcontinental trains have been discussed as a logical next step ever since the railroads start ing sending individual sleepers through without change nearly 18 months ago. At that time top passenger of ficials said extension of the pro gram to operation of entire trains would depend on equipment avail ability and on evidence that de mand not only would be sustained but would be concentrated on spe cific schedules. Part of this test has been met. Many of the through cars are sold out well in advance. And the roads say requests for accommo dations are heaviest on the “bet ter” trains, those with new equip ment and fast time schedules. An idea of the equipment re quired for transcontinental trains may be gained from the fact that to sustain one train daily in each direction the railroads must keep eight trains in operation. Thus, for each alternate route offered' to a traveler on a daily basis, another eight trains must be added. A consideration that may delay the scheduling of through trains, even wnen equipment is some what more plentiful, is that many of the new sleepers, diners and lounge cars now on order are des ignated specifically for service on intra-line trains. Since the individual roads are naturally anxious to provide the best equipment for their own well advertised luxury trains, these needs probably will be met before there is a willingness to contribute equipment for transcontinental service. Another difficulty is that while the roads can add a through car or two to a well-known train with out destroying its identity, for several roads to convert entire trains to transcontinental service probably would i n volve changing the names of the trains so con verted.
