Eastman Says W.P.B.
Program for Railroad
Freight Falls Short
Cut in Number Of
Authorized Curs Is
Estimoted at $1,000

A dinerence OF opinion has De.
veloped between Joseph B. Eastman.
head Of the once of Defense Trans
portation, and the War Production
Board as to the requirements of the
railroads for new freight cars and
engines In the next year, with the
result that the program approved
by the w. P. B. falls "far short" of
what Mr.. Eastman calls necessary
for the successful prosecution Of the
war effort"
The situation was disclosed in q
speech by Mr.. Eastman to the At
lantic States Shippers Advisory
Board in Philadelphia yesterday
afternoon, and while he gave no
comparative figures on his recon-
mendations and the building ap-
proved by the War Board, data OBJ.
tatned from the Association of
American Railroads indicate that
Mr.. Eastman's estimates ON needed
freight car construction were re-
ouced rs per cent or more. Similar
ngures on engine construction were
not available.
Short Of Railroad Estimates.
Faced with another record-break-
ing freight movement, the railroads
estimated In December that they
would need approximately ll3,soo
more cars in the year ended Octo-
Der l next, Against this figure In
q total Of 5000 already constructed
or authorized, including 1900 Just
approved by the w. P. B. This diff
ference Is 26,700, but 1t was reported
yesterday that Mr.. Eastman had
| "upped" the railroads estimates to
10000, which would mean that ths
w. P. B. cut amounted to more than
$1,000 cars. In the $1,000 incident
ally. wood Is TO be substituted for
steel wherever practicable.
The w. p. 3. approved construc-
ton OF $50 steam locomotives and
50 Diesel-electrics. over and above
those already authorized. and while
1t was not certain to Just what this
latter figure amounted, the tenor of
Mr.. Eastmans speech indicated that
total construction would be below
the 37o steam and SIS electric loco
motives the railroads had planned
TO put IN service this year.
Considers Other Traffic.
Mr.. Eastman told the advisory
board that he was not prophesying
any immediate or near car shortage,
but that he was concerned about the
mot remote future" AS he pointed
out, the railroads not only face an
increase in their ordinary traffic, but
can look also for more business di-
verted from waterways and high
ways by the shortage Of ship ton.
mage and rubber.
He said he realized the problem
the War Production Board has In
spreading critical materials around
to the best advantage, but. expressed
fear that the board may make the
mistake Of taking a greater chance
with domestic transportation than
may be wise" in cutting down on
the railroad program.

DECLINE NOTED IN
 AUTO FATALITIES
l2,O0O Fewer Accidents Reduce Death Toll; Big.
 ger Decrease Possible

An estimated reduction of l2,000 automobile accident fatalities is almost entirely responsible for a substantial decline in the total number of fatal injuries in the United States in ls42 as compared with l94l. according to the StatiS- ticians of the Metropolitan Life h. Surance Company. Declaring that, despite this drop. far too many Americans lose their lives from aoci- dental causes, the StatisticianS say:
 Tt is discouraging to observe that at least as many persons died from injuries sustained in accidents of all kinds every month in the United States as there were civilians nor. tally wounded by enemy air raids on Great Britain in any one month Of the war so far. AS a matter of fact. in several months our accident toll exceeded by 1000 or more deaths the 6,955 air raid fatalities suffered in England in September. l940. when they were at a peak figure"
 Comparing accident fatality con ditions in 1922 with those of 1917, the first year of World War I, the statisticians say that in the earlier year the accident death rate ''rose to point which had not again been eQualled down through l94l and apparently was not equalled in 1922. A comparison of conditions in the two years, the statisticians say. shows that efforts to promote safer living in the United States have been fruitful, for if the accident rate in l942 had been as high as it was in 1917 in the Registration Area of the United States, there would have been l18.000 deaths from accidents of all kinds instead of well below 100000.
 With reference to the total num- Der of fatalities the statisticians say: At this time. there still remain several days before the year l942 draws to a close. and the poSsi- bility of a disaster materially as- fecting the record cannot be over- looked in a year of intense wal activity"

Macarthur Fights
off New Attacks

Attack planes and dive bombers
are being used necessarily by the
Japanese against our front lines anG

ATTACKS FROM REAR
1t was the second successive day
that the COmmunique had reported
Japanese efforts to infiltrate Mac
Arthur'S lines This Indicated the
Japanese are sending forward Spe-
cial and mountain fighters who are
attempting to slip behind Mac
ArthurS lines to attack his COM
munications and his fortified posi-
tlonS from the rear.
The failure Of the CommuniQue to
! state whether MacArthurs lines are
| holding may indicate the japanese
/ have had some success III their at
tack upon the heavily outnumbered
American forces.
japanese propaganda broadcaSts
/ claimed fierce attack on the Ba-
taan lines is imminent and that
! one corner OF MacArthur'S lines has
been destroyed by determined air
! bombardment However. Tokyo ad-
+ mltted the strength OF Macarthur S
lines which were said to be cam
ouflaged in a new manner"
One possibly serious development
was japanese claim that new
landings" have been made on Ba-
taan. This might put a japanese
force ashore in the province be-
hind MacArthur'S northern lines.
The communique today said Mac
Arthur is receiving many reports
from japanese occupied areas OF
systematic looting and devastation
1t appeared that Macarthur Is
receiving regular and fairly full re-
ports of conditions behind the Jap
anese lines, indicating he has lef,
behind him an excellent system OF
] espionage which may be keeping
him informed OF japanese military
plans as they develop.
