have qualified for attendance at
the company convention at The
Homestead, Hot Springs, Va, Mon
day through Thursday Of this

R. L. Hatzes, j. j. J. Kelley. David
Sokol. G.. c. Wallace, H. w. Wills
and B. C. Thomson. Mr.. Hates

guests from % States and the
District will attend.
r. e. n. Meeting Held.
r. B. White, president of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, at
the company's annual meeting to-
day in Baltimore, said that "dras-
tic changes are needed in the
national transportation policy"
He also criticized the time lag
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission takes in issuing its deci-
sions. In four recent cases. Mr..
White said, the ICC has taken
an average of 352 days.
Net income for the B. & o. in
the first 10 months of 1852, he
reported. was $20,645, ,939. This
was an increase of $5,417,016 over
a similar period last year.
Gross revenue for the first 10
months this year was 1886, ,193, ,597,
or $8,318.524 below the 1851 figure
for that period. However, ne said,
B. & o. cut its operating expenses
by $13.763, ,079 at the same time.
The announced common capital
stock dividend of rs cents a share,
the first paid since 1881. A divi-
dend of 81 per share on preferred
capital stock also was declared
both payable December 80.
Mr.. White said reduced expenses
came largely as a result of the
railroads replacing Diesel engines
for steam locomotives, eliminating
improbable passenger runs and
closing small agencies.

.65Mi||ion Messages
Handled by Bank Wire
During Second Year
BY Nelson M. Shepard

The Bank Wire, that unique
communications system hooked up
with important financial centers
and employed by approximately
200 of the leading banks to speed
up transactions, handled 1.65 mil
lion messages in it's second year
ended october 81.
Inaugurated November /, 1850,
the Bank Wire was engineered
and developed by the Western
Union Telegraph Co. Seven WASH
ington banks are now affiliated
with the system.
A survey made public today by
the Bank Wire Committee re-
ported the messages handled dur
ing the second year of operations
represented 13 per cent increase
over the las million transmitted
for the first year. There is every
indication that the coming year
will greatly widen the scope of the
system.
Participating banks have found
much satisfaction and benefit
from the speeding up of tranSac-
tions for themselves and for their
customers. The network enables
any bank in the system to trans
NIT messages to another partici-
pating bank with complete con-
f1dence.
Operation Is Explained.
Each bank has compact tele-
printer for which the only skill
required is the ability to type
write. Outgoing messages flow
to these five key switching centers:
Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Dali
las and San Francisco. There they
are relayed by push-button SWITCH
Ing to the bank of destination. The
message is typed only once and
the teleprinter gets it right into
the Office Of the receiving bank,
thus affording privacy and elm
mating the necessity for coding
and DECIDING.
At its inception two years ago,
there were 1873 Bank Wire mem
berS in 54 cities. In the mean
while. 13 banks in four additional
cities have been added to the
system, while three banks, because
of mergers, consolidated their
Bank-Wire facilities.
The, Washington banks in the
system are: American Security,
Hamilton National, National Met
ropolitan. National Savings and
Trust, Riggs National, Union
Trust and Washington Loan and
Trust.
From expressions received by
the committee in charge in New
York, there is a growing appre-
citation among bankers and Gus
toners in the rapid facilities of
the system.
Perpetual Meeting Tonight.
The list annual meeting of the
Perpetual Building Association
will be held tonight at which Pres
ident Edward C. Baltz will report
to shareholders on the great in
crease in assets attained during
the past fiscal year. The organ
ization is the largest of it's kind
in the United States. The annual
election also will take place.

week after Cannes, and Frank

Bob Breckinyidge and his
mother a few days earlier In
Rome.
The flight from Rome to
Nice and Nice to Madrid was
noteworthy in two respects.
First, because it afforded a view
of the magnificent Riviera
coast shining in the MONDAY
sun, and secondly, because Of
the free alcoholic content of the
trip. Air travel is certainly
getting snappy. Right after
taking of from Nice, sherry and
gin were passed around for the
passengers choice. Then with
the four course luncheon-and
each course was served sep
arately-both white and red
wine were offered and passed
more than once. Finally. after
the demi-tasSe, cognac was
served. If no one staggered off
the plane at Madrid. it wasn't
the airline's fault.
The terrain across central
Spain seen from above looks rug
ged, mountainous and parched
as far as the eye can reach.
Only occasional trees and strips
along a rivers edge are green.
All else is in shades of ochre,
buff and red clay which turns
into an artists palette of paStels
in the pink of the setting sun.
The 15-minute drive from the
airport to the Spanish capital
is surprisingly deserted Of
almost all habitation. Madrid's
city limits begin and end very
suddenly.
The city itself, which is To-
Gated in the geographical CEN
ter of Spain. has all the re-
quisites, however, of a European
capital of over a million resi-
dents. Green parks are bor-
dered by handsome palaces. and
sculptured fountains are ep-
preached by busy broad avenues
lined with excellent shops.

To Spain via Rome.-To get
from Florence, Italy, to the
land of the bullhght. the lace

and, incidentally, the Spanish,
you have to fly from Milan or
Rome. Since the Eternal City
forever beckons with its CONT
mental charm, the choice is an
easy one. Rome is such a cross

and a slew Of familiar faces.
Our new Ambassador Ellis
worth Bunker has made a great
hit in Italy. Considered by the
Italian Foreign Office to be a
froceful man with surprising
grasp Of Italian fiscal and eco
nomic problems, there's a story
currently circulating that has
endeared him to all Italians.
It seems that Mr.. Bunker was at
q dinner where the subject of
ambaSsadorial salaries came up
"a favorite topic with most dip
lomats), and an ambassador
from one of the Soviet satellite
countries almost fell out of his
chair when he heard what the
colossus Of the West pays it's
ambassadors. you mean that
an American ambassador is only
paid $25. 900 a year?" he gasped,
knowing full well that all other
important countries provide two
and three times that amount for
their chiefs Of important mis-

Eyes," replied Mr.. Bunker
with his calm ease. "our am
bassadors only receive $4,000
a year, but our workmen are
paid very WELL" The satellite
envoy had no comeback.
There is much talk in Rome
about Capitalize Paul Bonner's
novel. as. P. @. r." A noted
princess there, who looks upon
herself as a certain interesting
lady indicated in the book, has
informed her associates that
neither Mr.. Bonner nor his
friends will henceforth be well
come in her palace. Rome is
amused, since Mr.. Bonner'S
characters are obviously en-
tirely or partially fictitious but
are drawn against the familiar
haunts of Roman society.
