Rail agent Tells
Advertising club
|Of TraveL Plans
By Ruth Dean

A bright future for rail travel, in
Guiding such luxuries as vista -doned
observation cars, three-deck lunch
counter diners, recreation and lounge
cars and children's play cars, was
envisioned yesterday by Leo O.
Drumwright, assistant general pas
senger agent of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, in a talk before the
Woman's Advertising Club of WASH
ington.
Addressing the luncheon meeting,
which was held at the Lee sheraton
Hotel, Mr.. Drumwright outlined the
railroads postwar reconversion pro-
gram. He spoke in place of c. Ver-
non Thomas, special representative
of the B. g. o. public relations de-
partment, who was unable to attend
because of illness.
With the. wartime job of trans
porting troops and military freight
behind, them, first-class railroads all
over the country are now placing
sizable orders for new equipment,
including more than 1000 new pas
senger cars, Mr.. Drumwright said.
AS practical proof that railroads
are determined to remain in the
passenger-carrying field. he cited the
inauguration only last Sunday of q
nonstop coast-to-coast passenger
service. Faster schedules and more
comfortable and modern equipment
are also being planned, he added.
Commenting on the possible effect
of competition from other modes of
transportation, the speaker said that
while the railroads encourage their
rivals to handle those types of trans
port which are best suited to their
facilities, it should be done on a
basis of equal opportunity. Govern
ment subsidies to any one of the
rivals is unfair, he said, and if it is
continued as a permanent policy,
will prove that subsidized transport
is inefficient, with the taxpayer pay
ing the bill.
Mr.. Drumwright praised the Job
done by the railroads during the war
and paid particular tribute to the
part played by women in keeping
the railroads going under the handi-
cap Of one-third fewer engines and
passenger cars and 100000 fewer
men.
Ruth Crane. president, presided
and 1rma Tual, program chairman
introduced the speaker.
