"BEHIND THE SCENES IN
AMERICAN BUSINESS"
BY JOHN CRADDOCK

BY JOHN CRADDOCk
NEW YORK, July 20, Transit Trend
The way the war and its by-products of
gas and rubber rationing have collided
with Americans traditional tastes for fast,
frequent and far travelling is emphasized
by significant news bits from all three of
the main %categories of mass transportation
railroads, buses and airlines. Railroads
nave moved more soldiers in the first five
months of this year than in the first ID
months of World WarI-at the same time
setting new all-time highs in freight. Gen.
eral passenger business for January
through April was "A per cent ahead of
the 1871 pace
BUS LINES are busy, with GREYHOUND
showing an 80 per cent gain in gross rev.
enue for May over that month last e
Bus revenues per mile" probably will i'm
prove due to ODT'S ruling that eliminates
routes failing to produce certain minimums
as to percentage of seats occupied. In the
Los Angeles area trailer buses with capaci-
ties OF 100 to $50 persons will soon be car
ry1ng war workers to and from their Jobs.
Converted truck-and-trailer combinations
formerly used for hauling autos from as
sembly plants to dealers will be used -.
reports from TWA and American. Air
ines Doth emphasize the growing use of
anyways for cargo movement, showing ex-
press poundage gains for the first five
months OF IA and 1O3 per cent, respective

not include large volumes Of freight being
flown under contract for the government.
TUBELESS T1RE-For half a century
auto tire engineers have been trying to de-
wise a tubeless tire. Last week John l.. Col
lyer, president of the B. F. Goodrich COM
Dany, announced that Frank Herzegh, q
young engineer of the mpan had deyeI-
oped such a tire for heavy vehicles. Col
lyer said the invention is of primary i'm
portance because of the savings it makes
possible in rubber ordinarily required for
inner tubes and flaps. While the amount of
inns savlng of course varies with the size Of
the tire, at a minimum it figures to be ap-
proximately seven per cent of the rubber
contents of the conventional ~casing-tube

and spiritual conflict that goes on
inside a critic For some opScure
reason, unless it be the conspicuous
d,,llness of his emotional life, the
critic has been rather thoroughly
spurned by dramatists In recent
wears. When it became brulted
about that Mr.. RaphaelSon had
undertaken to deal with him, the
subject suddenly seemed traught
with all sorts of exciting possibilities.
standards, professional and per-
Sonal?
What particular critic, II any
recognizable one, would he take as
his model? What treatment would
ne give the subject? Comic, satlrlc,
tragic? What apparent degree OF
mental stature, what knowingness
Of the theater? What physical
qualifications, those of mild man
nered wisp of human, or oolster-
Gus, roistering boor? What moral
standards, professional and pers-
onal?
These and a dozen correlative
questions have figured In the an
ticipatory excitement, all OF them
adding up to the overall specula-
tion: How will they take 1t, the
bums?"
To spoil no ones fun, the odds
are that they will take 1t as I'M
personally as If the central char
acter were a doctor, racketeer, or
even q playwright.
Miss Perlman's verb "amuse"
probably Is the right one. II the
play Is as amusing as the sub
merged excitement it has aroused

will be delighted.
