FuuIty, Says Report
Asking System Change

Increased efficiency of operation
was urged by the National Planning
Association today as a means Of
meeting a transportation shortage
of possibly 10000 railroad cars a
week starting next month.
This shortage was forecast pro-
vided defense production moves for
ward as rapidly as Government Of
ficials assert it will.
If the transport services cope
with the fall demand" said the as
sociation in a report, 1T will not
be because this Nations transporta-
tion system was organized to meet
the requirements of an all-out de-
fense effort but rather because lack
of planning and shortages else
where have held production below
expectations. Complacency fol-
lowed by crises, assurances Of plen-
ty followed by shortages have char
acterized our defense experience.
Cars Below Demand.
The association said the peak de-
mand for cars may be between
100000 and 100000. 1t estimated
the peak capacity available at
100000 cars.
Traffic estimates of railroads, the
report stated, do not make sufficient
allowance for diversion to rail
movement of large volumes of
freight ordinarily handled by coast
wise vessels, conversion of industries
and consumers from oil to coal in
sections threatened with petroleum
shortages, increase in passenger
service due to troops on leave and
other unusual factors.

Babies Smiles Believed
Purely Reflex Action

There is no evidence to indicate
that the smiles of very small babies
are caused by conscious thinking,
Hygeia Magazine states in a recent
issue in answer to an inquiry.
Observation with a movie cam
era has recorded that young infants
often smile in their Sleep" Hygeia
continues, "but seldom when they
are awake, unless the skin around
the zone near the mouth is gently
stroked. The smile seen on the baby
during sleep is thought to be of
reflex origin, an unconscious act of
which the baby may be entirely un-
aware. 1t should be remembered
that the mouth and the lips are the
most sensitive parts of the body in
early infancy. Stimuli in this area,
from within and without, are readily
received and the reflex movement
OF some of the facial muscles re-
spond to produce the smile

Prompt release of cars by ship

prevent misuse.

Mountain Searched
For Missing Bomber
With Six on Board
Army PIone Believed
Crashed on Ridge in
Seattle Neiehborhood
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TACOMA, Wash, Sept. 10.-A for
bidding 4,330-foot Cascade Noun
tain ridge was combed today by
searching parties hunting for an
Army bomber which vanished early
yesterday with six men aboard.
The ridge is approximately 25
miles north of towering Mount
Rainier, between the Snoqualmie
and Chinook Pass cross-State high
ways.
Col. William H. Crom, command
er of McChord Field, the bonber's
base, believed that the bomber might
have turned southwark from the
Spokane-Seattle radio beam too
soon as 1t approached Seattle, not
reckoning with a tricky head wind.
The ships natural course would
bear to the southwest from the beam
to reach its base.
Searchers went to the region on
foot and by truck after a thorough
search of the region adjacent to
McChord Field proved fruitless.
The last radio message was re-
ceived from the bomber at 4:59
am. Tuesday. 1t was then only a
few minutes flying time east of
Seattle. 1t was returning from a
routine night training flight which
had taken it nonstop across the
State to Walla Walla, then north
ward to Spokane.
Col. Crom said the visibility was
good and ceiling about 1000 feet
at the time of the last radio report.
The ship apparently did not have
enough time to use its radio" the
Colonel said.
The twin-motored Bib bomber
is of the same type which carried
seven men to death against a
mountainside near Morton, Wash,
last January.
