NEW YORK, July S Dr.
Making fewer freight cars haul
more goods faster-and keeping
costs down as much as possible
lis a major headache today for
the railroads.
The public is also watching
because it demands more service
and at the same time frets at
the steady climb in freight rates
since the war.
Railroad men are divided over
how to meet the problem. And
so are the Car makers. They are
trying automation in car build
ing plants as well as in the
freight yards. And they are turn
ing to research laboratories to
study design of cars best fitted
to the most track and yards.
Growing competition from
trucks and barge lines spurs the
search by the railroads.
Some railroads and some car
makers stick to the traditional
method Of custom tailoring
the cars to the specifications of
individual roads and their Gus
toners. Others tout the ad-
vantages of Standardization.
RetooIing Costs Cut
Starting Standardization of
rolling stock in 1916, Pullman
Standard Car Manufacturing

cars of the new type which per-
mits automation and mass pro-
duction and cuts retooling to the
minimum. It started with box
cars-and in 10 years has pro-
duced 87,000-added gondolas or
open top cars, and then covered
hoppers.
Today the Minneapolis & st.
Louis Railroad gets delivery of

mans Butler (Pa.,) plant. The
roads president, A. w. Schroe-
der, favors standardized hoppers
because "our four cement fac
tories on-line appreciate them"
He adds that standardization
lets the smaller roads place
orders at the same price and get
the same delivery date as a
larger line placing larger order

could pay to see first-run movies
or live telecasts of Broadway
plays and top sporting events.
One might expect that in a
democracy one or more of the
several systems be considered
calmly and then be tested.
But so far this hasn't hap
pened.
Heated Arguments
Year after year, the prepay
and anti-pay forces have been
arguing back and forth. each
exerting political and financial
pressure. The Federal Com
munications Commission, Con-
gressmen. the White House set
and everybody else involved have
hemmed and hawed. Nothing
happens. And the average Amer
lean, who might be glad to pay
So to have Macbeth played in
his living room with the original
cast. is still a shuttlecock in a
Ibig-money badminton game.
One one side are several COM
IpanieS owning pay-See systems
by which they hope to get rich,
serving as middlemen between
top entertainment and the arm
Ichaired public. On the other, we
have the vested interests who
Iare growing richer on so-called
free television.
Because both sides are evenly
Imatched-and perhaps for other
reasons. the matter has been
kicked around for a long time.
The stalemate has led to all
kinds of rumors, all probably
false. You have perhaps heard a
number of stories about payolaS,
blackmail, plots and counter
plots.
Typical Of the nonsense brewed
by indecision is this story:
Pay television is the real rea-
son behind the plan to move the
Dodgers to Los Angeles. The
brewing interests have cooked
up the deal. hoping to gain con-
troll of television rights so they
can turn them over to pay-see
Itelecasters, when they are even
tually allowed to operate. The
brewing interests figure the
average family won't be able to
afford the fees for pay television,
but that taverns and bars will.
SO the Dodgers exclusively on
pay television will bring father
back to the old taproom.
Crazy? Surel But it's typical
of the fantastic stories that have
been generated by the long and
mysterious delay in testing pay
see tee-vee.

one Of the biggest fiops in Amer
lean history. Your reporter be-
lieves that given a choice be-
tween MY Fair Lady" telecast

ican family will tune in one OF
the Gorgeous Georges.
But the matter can't be de-
cided in this space. the Senate
restaurant or the bar OF the

can't be settled by statistics. pro-
fessors. theorems. fiacks, public
opinion polls or pennies spun
into the air. The only fair way
is to test pay television--bS

these United States and seeing
whether people would pay the
dough for really good video fare

may be some fine teleshows fol

New Chemical Designed
To Increase Tire Life

Car-owners, tired of replacing
cracking tires, may find new
hope in a compound called
"Hypalon."
w. w. Marsh, executive secre-
tary of the non-profit Tire Re-
treading Institute of Washing
ton. introduced this basic
chemical elastomer" to tn e
public yesterday.
A rubber compound designed
to prevent premature deteriora-
ton of the sidewalks of tires
caused by smog and other chem
icals in the air, "Hypalon" is
now being road tested by the
institute in the smog ridden Los
Angeles area. Mr.. Marsh an
nounced.
He pointed out that tires.
wherever used, are adversely
affected by elements in the at
mosphere. especially ''ozone,
which eventually cause tiny
cracks in the sidewalks.
Ozone Proof Coating
The ozone-proof coating. pro-
duced by a Pennsylvania chem
ical firm for the institute, would
preserve and greatly extend the
life of tire castings, If the tests
prove successful. And thus, Mr..
March said. it SHOULD make
available an abundant supply OF
sound retreadable tires"
The tests probably will be
completed in mid July.

turned from an eight-day trip
to Europe, also had a few things

In its $40 million research and
development laboratory at Ham

last five years for rolling stock
tests. to improve efficiency,
achieve f1exibility and still retain
the economy of Standardization.
Railroad men are calling for
more freight cars as the Nations
economy grows. Both John w.
Barriger, president of the Pitts
burgh and Lake Erie, and Will
liam White, president of the
Delaware and Hudson, predict
500. 900 new ones will be needed
in the next five years, one mil
lion in the next 10.
Fleet of 2 Million
At present the railroad feet
comes to just under two mil
lion freight cars, down about
10000 since the end of World
War II.
William T. Farley. president
of the Association of American
Railroads, stresses that in the
last 80 years the number of
freight cars has diminished by
about 80 per cent, but the roads
now handle nearly half again
as much freight as then.
One reason is bigger and bet
ter cars, he says, and efficiency
of operation. He notes that "to-
days rail is stronger, longer
wearing. safer than the steel of
Us years ago."
He adds that treated cross ties
mean the roads need Is million
new ones a year now, compared
with more than IS million in the
old days, a cut of $3.50 million
lin annual expense of track
maintenance.
