was off to New York Friday after

the sessions of the United Nations
Assembly but, like the Pakistan Am
bassador. does not plan to spend
much time in Washington until the
close of those sessions.
Neither diplomat is expecting his
wife to join him until the end of
the year or early 1948 and perhaps
their coming to this country will
somewhat depend on what living
quarters the diplomats are able to Sc
cure. The Ambassador stayed at the
Shoreham Hotel, where the Embassy
Office was established by the Coun-
selor, Mr.. M. o. A. Baig when the
diplomatic mission was appointed
The Minister made his headquarters
for the few days he was here at
Wardman Park Hotel where he will
be when he returns unless men,
bers of the legation staff are able
to find suitable house.
DR.. Vambery succeeded Mr.. Aladar
Szegedy- Maszak, who after giving
up his post as minister remained
in the house at 2601 Thirty first
street which was leased from Mr..
and Mrs. Russell Sard until the first

Szegedy Maszak have moved to the
house at Pinehurst Circle which
they have leased for year. Mrs.
Vambery is a niece of two leading
citizens of Hungary, one Paul
Gyulay. famous literary critic, and
the other, DR.. Julius Wlaszits at

GIVE THEM DUE CREDIT

It's human nature to complain when we can't get what we
want when we want it. And that applies to railroad cars as
much as to anything else. The enormous volume of rail traffic,
coupled with the difficulty of obtaining new rolling stock, cause
occasional car shortages. But, whether we kick or not, it's
only intelligent to realize the exceptional job the lines are do
ing in the face of innumerable problems.
Frank P. Borden, traffic manager of the Douglas Fir Plywood
Association-whose members are heavily dependent on the rail
roads to move their prOduct-recently said about the car prob
lem: To-day the railroads are handling more cars per week than
at any period during the war. This peacetime traffic is
a lot harder to handle than wartime stuff. Trainload traffic
has been replaced by Individual cars moving from every con-
cevable origin to every conceivable destination. Now the rail
roads are given credit for having performed miracles during
the wal, and yet, today they are moving more cars than they
were moving then, and with less equipment, so aren't we wit
Messing a continuing miracle? / know it is painful where it
hurts, in the pocketbook, when we can't get a car when we
want it, but at least, instead of calling the agent an old so-and-I
so, we can give the railroads credit for doing a bang-up job. >"
The railroads have great quantities of equipment on order,
and they are putting it into service as fast as it is d delivered.
They are making every car and every train perform the abso-
Lutte maximum of service. They have plans for continuing eX-
pansion and improvement. No industry is doing a better job
with what it has to work with. That is the virtually unani-
nous opinion Of men who understand the reasons for car
shortages-and also understand the problems attending railroad
operation today.
