HOppERs CARS AND YOU

The American Iron and Steel
Institute, which has long been
an advocate of Standardization
and simplification, is highly
pleased with a program recently
announced by three American
railroads.
The Chesapeake & Ohio, Nor
folk & Western, and Pennsyl-
vania Railroads have taken the
leadership in the development OF
q hopper car having standard
dimensions for all component
parts. Railroads which now own
65 percent of the nations hop
per cars have invited all other
interested railroads to- join them
in testing and developing these
proposed standard 7O-ton open
top hopper cars.
Although the primary bene-
fits will be felt by the railroads,
with substantial savings IN con-
struction costs and maintenance" "
the Institute says, 'the stand
ardization of hopper car design
will enable the steel industry to
provide better service to car
builders than is possible with
the present multitude of de-
signs"
Readers of this column may
say $50 what? This is OF IN
terest to the railroads and the
steel industry, but where do we
come in?" The answer to that
is simple. It's no secret that the
railroads are having a tough
time of it financially. Well, heres
one way they plan to economlze
This, in conjunction with other
pl?ns, may save the railroads
Can you picture this nation
wi hout railroads? That's where
ycl come in and why every
American should be interested II
standardized hopper cars.

THE A MEXICAN VA Y

ternal Security Subcommittee, he
stated he could not in good con-
science join the UE because he
has taken State and Federal
oaths as director of d local
school and as civil defense
worker.
So Berfield is out of job.
Senator James O. Eastland,
chairman of the Subcommittee,
says that ''it is a sad fact that
under present laws we are un-
able to do anything for Mr.. Ber-
field"
Sad, indeed, isn't it, that Ber-
fields reward for his royalty is
the loss of 19-year-old job? Is
this America or Russia?
