ventions, sales meetings, industrial

teams, to alumni and fraternal
groups and for family reunions. Un-

Franklin Snow, whose interest In
railroads includes plans to establish
a railroad museum. made a sugges-
ton to President Truman the other
day. He wrote out his thought that
the private presidential rail car,
known as u. S. Car No. /, should be
rechristened with a name better
linked with American history and
traditions. The car, sold to the
Government by the Association OF
American Railroads in 1916 for 81,
is "The Ferdinand Magellan" MIR.
Snow wrote: "The name originally
was assigned by the Pullman Co.,
several of its private observation cars
having had the names OF noted ex-
plorers, and the one which was pur-
chased by the Government was one
of this former feet. For patriotic
reasons, do you not think that this
car should be renamed-some such
name as America" George Wash
ington," "Mayflower" or any name
which has a bearing on our own
country and its historical associa-
tionS?"
