The ever-changing banking
hours in nearby Virginia and
Maryland. which show a trend
toward later closing times, ap-
Iparently will have no effect on
District institutions.
The latest suburban move in
the trend is the announcement
by the Bank of Maryland that
it is now closed on Saturdays
and is maintaining longer night
hours the rest Of the week. How
ever, Suburban Trust Co., closed
on Saturdays during the summer,
is resuming Saturday opening.
One official of a suburban bank
even expressed this opinion:
I'm not sure that it wouldn't
be better if we closed during the
day and opened at night"

FNMA May Face Squeeze

Some observers point out that

Letting requires the half a point

FNMA will require a large
chunk of new money from the
money market within the next
two weeks. it is understood, and
will probably pay 37s per cent
or 4 per cent for it. That doesn't
leave much. if anything, for ad-

The main part of FNMA's

sizeable deficit that taxpayers
will have TO pay for.

To quote one of the oldest sayings in the book The
customer is always right
The people alone are going to decide how much or
how little rail service they want-and how much they
will pay for it.
Right now Santa Fe they want plenty of service.
During the past fifteen years (194O-1955), Santa Fe
passenger volume has increased "a per cent in pas
senger miles and is continuing to increase.
Intense Competitive Era
This was during the greatest period of expansion in
air travel in the history of the world stimulated by
the promotional aspects Of the Civil Aeronautics Act
of 1888.
1t was during period also of the greatest increase
the country has ever known in motor car registra-
tions encouraged by vast improvements in our high
way system, with more to come.
Nevertheless, more and more people are coming
down to our stations and trying to take care of
them with better trains smoother roadbeds, better
alaround service and traditional Santa Fe courtesy
The Trend Continues Strong
The latest sign of the times is our new H-LeueI Ell
Captain, introduced July 15 This rather spectacular
two-story train runs daily between Chicago and Los
Angees-and it requires five complete trains to sup
ply the service This meant multimilon-dollar in
vestment.

Educational System Pays Of

Soviet technological strides can De attributed to the modernnation or their entire educational system and their emphasis on the physical and industrial sciences, according to an editorial appearing in "Planes," official publication of the Aircraft Industries Associa- sion.
 i While this nation can be reas- sured that our private, highly competative, aircraft industry still leads in the race for, and de ;velopment of, superior air weap- ons," Planes says, ''the U. S. must protect this qualitative lead by continuing heavy emphasis on re- bearch anG development.
 "The heavy emphasis which the Russians are placing upon the forced development of new tech .nical generation, beginning with primary education levels and car rying through basic research and development, engenders the possi- bility of their achieving a scienti- fife breakdown and consequent technological surprise in new weapons" the editorial warns.
 Citing one example of the net work Of institutions found within Russia today, the editorial reports that the Zhukovskii Air Engineer ing Academy in Moscow is indica- tive of the emphasis placed by the Russians upon research and de- velopment,
