Transport Systems Preparing
For Heavy Reormoment Traffic

higher charges for most transpor-
tation, to meet increased operat-
ing expenses.
Eastern railroads filed petit
ton with the Interstate Com
merce Commission in December
for a 4 per cent boost in freight
rates. Air coach fares were in
creased in November. Some truck
ing rates also advanced.
Labor trouble dogged the rail-
roads throughout the year. They
lost business during coal mine
shutdowns in February and March.
Firemen and enginemen of four
major roads struck in May in a
vain try to force employment of
a second fireman on Diesel-elec-
trio locomotives.
Unsettled wage demands, tax
uncertainties and varying applica-
ton of a Government award of
$3.50 million additional pay for
carrying mail during the past four
years prevented accurate figures
on the rails financial situation as
1850 drew to a close.
Statistic.ans of the Association
OF American Railroads came up
with estimates that net income
for the year ended October 81 was
$711,881 900, and compared this
with $438,157.662 for the 1949
calendar year.

Lumber Mills Anticipate
Firm Prices and Demand
BY the Associated Press

PORTLAND. Oreg.. Dec. 3d.
More than a million and quarter
American families got new homes
In 1850. They pushed the lumber
industry to some all-time peaks.
Despite two and three shift
operations they had to draw on
accumulated stocks to fill the
orders for lumber for 1.3 million
houses. for schools and churches
springing up everywhere. for stores
and warehouses, and-in the last
half OF the year-for military uses.
Firm prices and strong demand
will carry into the New Year, all
industry leaders agree.
Their forecasts for 1851 are
tempered, though, by two uncer-
tainties: Extent of military mobil-
Hation and extent of Federal
controls.

BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 80. - Trans
portation systems of the Nation
are speeding preparations for
heavy 1851 traffic as the rearma-
ment program picks up momen-
tum.
Railroads. after a strife-torn
year that included four months
of operation under Government
seizure, concluded a three-year
peace pact with four operating
unions in late December. They
looked ahead to meeting emer-
gency needs as they did in World
War II, when they hauled more
than 80 per cent of military
freight.
These were some of the rail-
roads preparedness moves:
They ordered half a billion dol
lars worth of new freight cars
and put some repair workers on
longer hours to get back into serv-
ice thousands of cars awaiting re-
pair. Orders for and installations
of new locomotives were the high
est in q years.
They attained new records of
efficiency of freight train opera
ton. Transportation output per
freight train hour climbed above
10000 ton miles, an all-time high.
CA ton mile is the movement of
one ton of freight distance of !
mile.)
In other transport fields:
The American Trucking Associ-
ations said truck movement of
intercity tonnage in 1850 was
about 25 per cent ahead of 1949.
and that If manufacturers could
supply the needs there would be
more than 8 million trucks on the
roads by the end of 1851.
Airlines exceeded all previous
highs in 1850 for passenger travel
and cargo carrying. and defense
expansion indicated greater activ-
ity in 1851.
The American Transit AsSocia-
ton. recalling how civilian auto
use restrictions in World War II
threw 9 billion extra passengers
annually onto transit lines, said if
this happens again. the systems
will need $4,000 new buses, trolley
coaches. electric trolleys and rapid
transit vehicles to handle the load.
Higher fares will be needed, it
added.

Overseas Trade Faces
Grave and Uncertain
Prospects Next Year
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Dec. 30.-Foreign
trade faces the gravest and most
uncertain future in decade.
War and the threat of war con-
fronts the foreign trader in every
land, and with it comes increas-
ing economic controls imposed by
apprehensive governments.
It will be some weeks yet before
official figures on 1850 foreign
trade are available, but reliable
estimates indicate we will have an
export surplus in goods of some
thing in the neighborhood of ST
billion. Some sources figure that
by the time final returns are in
this export surplus will shrink to
around an even billion dollars.
The larger estimate of our ex-
port surplus is based on antic-
ipated exports of goods in 1850
amounting to $9,792 100000 and
imports of $8,268, 100000. The 1850
total is the greatest dollar amount
OF goods ever brought into this
country in a single year.
To examine the trade position a
little more closely. here is a box
of figures (add six ciphers):

Export surplus - gal 2,25S
Major influences on foreign
trade include United States aid
abroad. the general devaluation of
1949, the United States need for
war materials for immediate use
for stockpiling, and advancing raw
material prices.
The Economic Cooperation Ad-
ministration is tapering off it's aid
to Europe. but there is growing de-
mand and need for American ex-
ports on the cuff to help rearm
Europe in the coming year.
United States exports in grants
and credits amounted to about 81
per cent of our total shipments in
1949 and fell slightly to an esti-
mated 33 per cent in 1850.

Big Crops Prevented
Runaway Advance in
Grain Prices in 50
By WiIIiom Ferris
Associofed Press Business Writer

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-Big crops
prevented any runaway advance
in grain prices in 1850. .
The big crops weighed down on
a market stirred by outbreak Of
war in Korea and a lot of inf1a-
tionary psychology. These devel-
opments kept prices above 1949
levels most of the year, but didn't
cause cereals to jump through the
roof.
Another item which restrained
any wild advance was falling of
in worldwide demand for wheat
and particularly for American
wheat.
AS the year ended the Agricul-
ture Department foresaw higher
prices for feed grains-corn, oats
and barley-in the months imme-
diately ahead. The department
also expected some reduction in
reserve supplies accumulated from
previous crops.
StOckpiling in Prospect.
In wheat and rye the future
outlook depended as much on
international developments as on
that traditionally unfathomable
quality, the weather.
There existed a prospect that
Western European nations would
stockpile cereals, importing the
grain from the United States, in
order to have something on hand
in case Of outbreak of war with
Soviet Russia. That lent some
f1rmness to prices as the year
closed.
The prospect of price ceilings
also hung over the grain market.
However, tie law requires that no
ceilings may be imposed below
parity prices, or below the highest
prices attained in the May "a to
June "a period. All cereals were
selling below these potential CELL
ings as the year neared its close.
Totals for Crops.
The 1850 wheat crop totaled
l.010,069, 900 bushels, corn 3,105,-
100000, oats 1,483.975, 900. rye 22,-
100000 and soybeans 283, 1873 900.
Technically, soybeans aren't a
grain, but the trade has come to
place them in that category.
Wheat, corn and oats prices
sank below Government support
levels. Corn and oats made their
lows in January, when No. 2 yell
low corn brought $1.30 a bushel
and No. 2 white oats 727s cents
at Chicago. The wheat low OF
$2.14A for No. 2 hard was made
in October. Beans also were at
their low-$2.1912-in that month
Toward the end of the year
feed grain prices were advancing
Oats had gone above $1.00. Corn,
selling around SITS. was at its
best price since October. 1948.
Wheat was near its $685. high
made in April, but soybeans had
not approached the July high of
$3.26Ea.
Despite the slump below Gov
ernment support levels, farmers
put less grain under the Govern
ment loan. The inference was
that producers expected a price
rise Through October all 1850
grains stored under the loan
totaied 189, 9,509,786 bushels against
353, ,746,480 in the like 1949
period.
The futures market remained
pretty well out of the political
picture during the year. in con-
trast with 1948 and 1949.

Color Favored
For Fixtures
In Bathroom

Demand for colored bathroom
fixtures has increased sharply
since the war, says American
Builder magazine.
mot only are colored plumbing
fixtures more popular today than
ever before but there has been a
decided change in color prefer
ences," the magazine says. Be
fore the war, ivory was the most
popular color. Today, tans, greens
and blues are at the head of the
list"
American Builder explains that
the plumbing fixtures now avail
able do not differ radically in de-
sign from those made before the
war. However, styling and health
protective features have been I'M
proved, and faucets and valves
have been made easier to operate.
Attention has been given to
the ability of separate fixtures to
blend together and to fit harmo-
nizingly into any d ecorat v e
scheme" the building magazine
adds. Furthermore, this harmo-
nizing of designs has been stepped
down to even the moderately
priced fixtures"
A safety measure adopted in
recent years is the elimination of
china faucet handles which are a
hazard if they become broken or
Clipped. New fixtures have metal
handles instead.
The preference for colored
plumbing fixtures in the bath
room does not hold true in the
kitchen. American Builder says
plumbing dealers and builders
have learned that the white kitch-
en- sink is still favored.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 14.-(AP) -Ac-
ton by IL Seattle welfare recipi-
ents, contesting assistance cuts by
the State Welfare Department,
was set aside today by Superior
Court Judge John M. Wilson.
Dismissal of the case against
Roderic Olzendam, state social Sc
curity director, is now merely q
matter of formality, the jurist
indicated.
Judge Wilson sustained q mo-
ton by Asst. Atty. Gen. Lyle liver
son to quash the case. Iverson con-
ended that the welfare recipients
had not followed correct legal
procedures. Previously. they had
received a court order directing
0lzencam to withhold cuts from
Welfare grants or come to- court
January 3 to defend his action.
Today's action quashed the court
order and allows Olzendam to
maintain the cuts.
Iverson maintained that under
Initiative 172 the recipients should
ave taken their grievances to
the State Social Security Depart
ment for a hearing before appear
ing in court.
The cuts ranged from five to
forty per cent.
