When Government Runs
A Business

The two giant enterprises in the
communications field in this coun-
try are the Bell Telephone System
and the United States Post Office
Department. The privately owned
Bell System paid $346, 144,OOO in
taxes last year, while the Post
Office Department, of course, paid
none. The Bell System operated at
a substantial profit, while the
Postal Service incurred an operat-
ing loss of $577,471, 900. The total
value of all physical properties
owned by the Bell System is re-
ported at 1914 billions. The Post
Office Department has no idea
whatever of the value of its vast
property holdings.

Better Signals Cut Costs,
Improve Rail Service
BY the Associafed Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Better
signal devices are enabling the
railroads to get the greatest use
out of every freight car in the
effort to meet both defense and
civilian transportation needs,
James H. Aydelott said here
today.
Mr.. Aydelott, vice president in
charge of the operations and
maintenance department of the
Association of American railroads,
addressed the annual meeting of
the signal section of the AAR.
He hailed modern signaling as
resulting in substantial operating
cost savings and great improve
ments in train performance"
by using new signals to in
crease the capacity of single
track" Mr.. Aydelott said. 'The
railroads have been able to handle
a greater volume of traffic with
out any expansion in facilities. -
At the same time, he noted, ef-
f1ciency of train movement has
been stepped up by better signals.
Mr.. Aydelott predicted the in
creased track capacity and eff
flciency of train movement, made
possible by modern signal devices,
will permit railroads to handle
with their present set-up the in
creased traffic resulting from
growing decentralization of cer-
tain industries.

In Quiet Dealings
By the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-For the
first time in six sessions the stock
market declined today.
The retreat was orderly and
losses small; most of them below
81 a share. At the same time few
stocks were able to advance.
There was no indication of ag-
gressive selling. Buyers. though,
showed scant interest.
The volume of business con-
tracted after transactions had
topped 2 million shares daily for
the past four days.
Yesterday the market on aver
age climbed to a new peak since
June, 1916. The advance was the
smallest of the last five days. and
toward the close there were signs
of buying fatigue.
New York Central stood out with
a small advance in active trading.
Even a minor lift was enough to
boost the price to a high since
1948.
On the minus side were United
States Steel. General Motors,
Chrysler, United States Rubber,
Boeing, Philco, American Tele-
phone, Kennecott Copper, Dow
Chemical, International Paper,
Santa Fe, Nickel Plate, Southern
Pacific, Standard Oil New Jer-
