meets every four years.
Would Be Raised Regionally
Under the proposed plan, the
1897 million would be raised by
regional conferences for alloca-
ion on a regional basis.
1t includes a proposed alloca-
ton Of $250.000 year for four
years to establish the School OF
international Service at Ameri-
can University.
The 81 million to be raised will
be distributed as follows: $375,-
900 for construction Of buildings
100000 for endowments and
l$125.000 for the difference be-

ported a total loss on passenger
operations just under $700 mil

higher freight rates and thus a
higher levy on the goods and
machinery, foodstuffs and fuels
essential to our high-geared
economy.
Cost Cutting Cure
Railroads have known for
years that their chief hope OF
making passengers service pay its
own way--or a bigger share Of it
lay in a drastic SlaShing OF
costs. Passenger equipment is ex-
tremely expensive at first cost
and the maintenance of coaches
and facilities, tracks and termi-
mails, drains the latest treasures
Today there are three answers
in-being to lower costs and in
creased efficiency, plus new
luxury, for railroad passenger
service. They are the new
radically different. lightweight
and cheaper trains-the Aero
train, the Jet Rocket and Train
K. Several major railroads al
ready have or soon will put them
put into service. They are the
result of an effort greater than
that represented by the first
streamliners of the 30s to woo
passengers back to the tracks.
Pilot Models
These trains are prototypes
and can be expected to undergo
considerable development and
modification as service on the
main lines demonstrates the
need. There also will be other
lightweight Speedsters of various
designs on the rails If, as now
seems almost certain. the pre-
sent models are successful
enough to indicate they are the
right answer.
While there are great differ
ences in details Of design and
equipment between the three
trains mentioned, they share q
basic similarity in construction
characteristics: they are light In
weight compared to standard
passenger equipment. have lower
centers of gravity, form an ar
ticulated unit including their
power plants, and operate at ap-
probably higher speeds with i'm
mensely lower operating costs
than conventional equipment.
The Aerotrain was designed
and built by General Motors, and
used specially developed diesel
locomotive to pull nine integrated
coaches, notifications of the GIN
bus design. An all-coach train,
the Aerotrain has an ingenious
arrangement of vestibule snack
bars and pantries from which
meals may be served en- route
much in the fashion Of airliner
practice.
Time Saving Schedule
Two of the GIN trains are in
daily service now, one on the
Pennsylvania between New York
and Pittsburgh; the other on
the New York Central between
Chicago and Detroit. The
Pennsy's flyer cuts 1l2 hours of
the regular New York to Pitts
burgh schedule, making the same
number of stops.
