The first big step will be taken on
February 34 when the big modernis
tic N. C State Fair Arena in Ra
leigh plays host to the third an
nual ACC Indoor Games. Roy Clog-
ston, N. C. State College atnietic
director, persuaded the ACC to
move the games to Raleigh and
State Fair officials were delighted
to find their huge glass and con
crete arena selected as the site.
A comfortable seat in a neatea
building with an unobstructed view
should do a great deal to neip pop
ularize track, according to Clogston.
Members of the ACU tracx com
mittee visited the arena ana gave
it their blessing. Paul uerr, state
College track coach and his assist
ants, took over from mere wun tne
intention of putting on sucn a gooa
show the first time the games are
held in Haleigh that the public willj
demand their return to the Capy.l
City.
The State Fair Arena is almost
ideally suited for the big Indoor
games, according to Derr, who
coached at Lawrence College and
at the University of Chicago; before
coming to State. An 11-lap; one mile
clay track has been laid off in the
oval interior of the big building.
Straightaway lanes, pole vault, -high
jump and broad lump coxes nave
been placed. And workmen are
bringing the clay track around to
perfect condition.
Some 800 athletes are expected to
compete for team and individual
honors in the four divisions scho
lastic, freshman, conference, and
non-conference. The event is ex
pected to attract some big names.
With the majority or tne oiaie
Fair Arena seats on the 60 yard line,
and no supporting posts to block the

are in for a unique experience.' .'

Kerr Scott Introduces Legislation
For Price Support On Lint And Wheat
W. Kerr Scott today introduced
legislation that would provide -for
a system of graduated price sup
ports on cotton and wheat patterned
along the same lines as Federal
income taxes.
In offering the legislation on the
Senate floor Scott said that under
the plan, "the larger the farming op
eration, the less assistance it re
ceives from the government."
The bill Scott offered specified
graduated price supports on cotton
and wheat only.
"Although the bill includes only
cotton and wheat,' Scott said, "I
feel that tne same approacn to ik w would be supported at 95 per
other basic commodities can be eas- . m,. on k.i
th farmers." Scott said, "then
must increase the support prices
for small family size farmers.'
Scott, a farmer himself, said he
favored the soil bank approach that
will take several years to have any
real effect We have not received
any recommendations from the ad
ministration that would cause any
immediate increase in farm income,
and that is the Number One Job to
do right now."
Under Scott's bill, cotton support.
prices would start at 100 per cent of
parity for farmers who produced up
to 15 bales per year. The next 15
Uy worked out.'
Under the Scott proposal, price
supports would begin at 100 per
cent of parity for small farmers.
Supports would decline to 60 per
cent of parity as production in
creased on individual farms.

economy by putting additional pur

SELF POWERED RDC's
REVITALIZE PASSENGER
SERVICE
By Fred Stauffer
"We'll miss the whistles." This
terse comment on the introduction
of self-propelled Rail Diesel Car pas
senger service on an eastern rail
road was about the only adverse
finding of tha public concerning the
innovation.
The car which drew the comment
is the Budd Rail Diesel Car, RDC
for short, which in a space of five
years has sold itself to the passen
gers and tne managements of 20
railroads throughout the United
States and four foreign countries.
RDC is strictly a postwar devel
opment, first publicly shown at the
Chicago Railroad Fair in 1949,
demonstrated to 55 railroads in
thirty states, and first adopted for
American use by the New York
Central System on its Boston &
Albany line in 1950.
Wartime development of a small
but powerful diesel engine for tanks,
similar development of a torque
converter drive, and application of
disc braking to railroad ears were
principal mechanical elements
seized upon by The Budd Co. in cre
ation of the RDC. The company,
working against ita long and suc
cessful background of stainless steal
passenger ear building, set out to
combine such elements in a stand-
ardized. self-propelled .Dsssemrer ear
that would sell itself to the public
and the railroads fighting against a
deluge of red ink in the passenger
traffic figures.
The result was a unit on which
initial east is relatively low
169,60 far the 89-seat RDC-1,
operating coats down as much as
50 per cent from conventional
trains, and publie acceptance wide
enough te bring new traffic te the
railroads as well as hold the old.
Wherever a "Beeliner," a "Shere
liner," a "Highliner," a "Zephyr
ette," or a "Raihner" (all special
railread names for RDC) has made
its appearance on a road's sched
ules there has been public and man
agement clamor, even demand, for
more of the tame. And customers of
less-favored roads, particularly in
commuter areas, have looked on
enviously as schedules and service
of competing roads Improved with
iMtMlUJfJ.
i the nublirrs standpoint the
advantages of RDC over the older
steam trains or conventional dieael
hauled coaches are many fast, de-
Dendablc and more frequent serviee
in an air-conditioned, wide-win
dowed, comfortable seat ear away
from the hazards of driving a private
automobile on the parallel highway.
Specifically, RDC is made in
i three paaaenger-carrying models
and one all mail and baggage model.
The initial RDC-1, the bane de
sign, is -an all-psasenger ear for
- eutap-nlne passengers. like... all
ether ht the line it ia powered by
two diesel engines totalling 600
horsepower and driving the axles
directly rather than through an
electric motor.
With this power the RDC from a
standing start can reach 57 miles an
hour in one mile, can cover the first
five miles in five minutes, and can
reach a top speed well over 80 miles
an hour. Light weitht of the stain
less steel unit is a key to this per
formance as it is, along with the
disc brake, in RDC's ability to stop
fast down from 85 miles an hour
to zero in 2,300 feet
Such technical data give even a
I ayman an idea of some reasona why
the publie the country over has ac
cepted RDC enthusiastically. It is a
versatile' instrument of transporta
tion, representing almost as much a
revolution in railroading as the fed
eral adoption of diesel locomotives
to replace the steam Iron Horse,
fast fading from thesnational scene.
Railroad management on a signi
ficant number of lines obviously Is
well-plessed with RDC, with special
reference to .lowered oper.tusg
costs, minimum and easy mainte
nance, high utilization and an oppor
tunity to offer better service to the
travelling public. The uses vary
widely from introduction of the
Budd cars in commuter schedules to
the reopening of long-abandoncJ
passenger services where conven
tional passenger wains fell far short

RDC have found it economic! and

en the return trip into the Urger
original train. ' The ears may be
