For Emergency

American railroads are at their
peak in speed and operating eff
cheney because of a preparedness
program that started 20 years
ago, Ray Maxwell. advertising
manager of the Missouri Pacific
Lines. today told members of the

Ter. Maxwell is president of the

were transported in 300 special
trains with a minimum of delay
and cited il as an example of the

chased. repaired and redecorated
with monthly relief checks given
him TO be used for rent.
For the past four years Szkara
has been taking his SIS a month
rent check and applying il on the
purchase of seven-room home for
his family of six children at 1886
Scotch avenue. In return. the
owner of the house is said TO have
been tricked into making out rent
receipts which Szkara has been
turning over to his welfare worker
ALL BUT $40 PAID
Now only $40 remains to be paid
on the 81. 900 purchase price of the
home. but the welfare department,
learning how the checks have been
used, has charged Szkara with OBJ
tanning money under false pre-
lenses and is seeking restitution.
The down payment of S215 on
the house was made by Mrs.
Szkara with money she obtained
from her father,
my father told me he would
help buy the house IL 1 could
keep up the payments" she ex-
planned. We've been doing IL
with the welfare money and we
couldn't see anything wrong
with that.
THE welfare would have had
