Mexico's Traffic
Problem Demands
Subway Building

MEXICO CITY (UP)- The
construction of a subway system
would be the only permanent solu-
ton to the transportation problem
of Mexico City, informed sources
connected with the transportation
industry said here.
The statement was made in con-
nection with the appointment of a
committee by Mayor Ernesto Uru-
churtu to study the problem and
make recommendations toward its
solution.
"The conclusions that might be
reached by the commission cannot
be effective if the problem is not
approached through the creation
of a subway SYSTEM" informants
said.
"If that is not done, any meas
ures taken must of necessity be
transitory, because of the constant
growth of the city and its steadily
increasing transportation needs"
The building of a subway system
in Mexico City has been mention
ed on many occasions in the past,
but it has always been rejected on
the grounds that the capitals por-
GUS subsoil makes construction i'm
possible or extremely expensive.
The committee to study the city's
transportation problem as a whole
was appointed as a result of a
threatened bus strike that would
have paralyzed practically all acti-
vitieS.
The bus drivers demands in
cluded wage rises and other social
benefits, but the operators com
planned they could not grant any
wage raises unless they were al
lowed to raise flares.
In view of the deadlock, as the
City Government refused to per-
nit fare hikes, the major decided
to appoint the committee to study
the problem as a whole and pre-
sent recommendations as soon as
possible.
Bus drivers then decided to can
eel their strike plans.

NEW OIL
METHOD

WASHING - An Israeli pc

discovered p new physico-chemical
method for oil drilling which he
believes may be of interest to oil
drillers in the Western Henri

According to Leon Nissimov, re-
searcher, by adding certain chemic
al products to the mud, the hard
ness of the rock is reduced to an
extent that the bits penetrating
speed is considerably increased.
The efficiency of the method also
is assured by automatic measure
ment, and the construction of an
apparatus measuring the simultan-
