City Acts to Unlock Transport Tieup
Transit Service
Strikes New Low
During February

A three-pronged plan was TAXI
ing shape today, aimed at unlock
ing the eity,s badly tied up freight
transportation system, rail and
truck, and averting a general
breakdown.
According TO Allen Dean, man.
ager of the transportation bureau
of the Detroit Board of Conn
merce. railroad and motor carrier
service hit new low during Feb
ruary.
Specific Instances Of slow
transit are easy to cite" says
Dean in The Detroiter, Board Of
Commerce organ. ITO Balti-
more. IL days; York, Pa, un-
located on the ninth day; Buff
falo. five days; Niagara Falls, IL
days; Indianapolis, Is days;
Pittsburgh, Is and II days, and
Corning, n. Y, IL and IL days.
LAY IN YARDS
I'm addition to slow travelling
time cars and trucks lay around
In the yards after they arrive at
Detroit--sometimes for a whole
week--before being unloaded."
The three approaches TO the
tprobiem. as outlined by Dean, are:
r o m m dation by the
Freight Agents and the Ship
pers' Transportation Committee
of the B. of c. that all Detroit
receivers be required to keep
their receiving rooms open at
least from 8 a. m. until 5 p. m.
Monday through Saturday.

for the ODT, that local truckers
Immediately developed plans to
pool their pick-ups and deliv-
cries.
An order, effective Yesterday,
that motor carriers notify the
Interstate Commerce Commits

RECEIVERS PENALTY
With the request receivers op-
crate six days a week. the rail-
. roads are pledged is make all
deliveries of freight within the pre-
cribed hours. Where receives

Ifered, they will be required to pick
! up shipments in their own vehicles.
To make fullest use of this plan.
inter-city truck lines and local
carriage agents have been urged
to adopt the same measures.
I PatterSon's suggestion would
combine the local operations of
the l00-odd Detroit railroads and
inter-city motor carriers into five
or six joint delivery combinations.
HELP AT A PREMIUM
"On the cause for the tie-up,-
Dean writes. "all persons are in
agreement. Dock handlers, driv-
ers and helpers are as scarce
as Nazi victories. The United
States Employment Service and
the VINO have contributed
practically nothing to the labor
problem so far.

Case Finding Program
In other words, If You let the
student depend on his symptoms
and apply for help only when he
gets SICK you find 10 cases of tu-
~h"rculosjS per ljO.G0O population.
If You 20 "ut to find them yua find

FIRST instance the chances are the
patient is too far advanced TO be
helped, while in the second in
stance the chances are that 900
of them can he saved.
How are the tests made? The
simplest procedure is To give the
entire population group under con-
SldcratiOn Il tubcrculin test. This
means that Il minute amount of the
chemical product of the tubcrcu-
!osiS bacillus is injected into the
skin. If a ION of redncSS appears
II means that sometime the subject
has had tuberculosis. That is
called Il positive. If no red rcac-
ton appears il is called a negative,
and that subject can be dismissed
and needs no further study. The
p"Spivcs. however,, are X-raycd
and studied by the stcthcscopc and
an examination Of the spu;um

a certain small pcrccntag, of the
