SPEEDS UP NEWS
TO GET BIRDS FED

HOMA CITY
lAP).-The birds are for
Bob Flournoy, WKY radio
station news director.
A pair of Sparrows built
their nest behind the front
grill, just below the right
front headlight Of Mr..
Flournoy's m o bile news
car.
Mr.. Flournoy says every.
time he returns to the sta
ton parking lot, there are
mama and papa sparrow
waiting to poke grasshop-
pers and other goodies into
the nest. How many young
birds there are he can't
say because the nest is
nearly hidden from view.
I'm afraid to keep the
car out too long at a time
for fear the baby sparrows
will starve to DEATH" said
the soft-hearted newsman.

railroad industry.
The fireman who ''has no fires
to stoke or boilers to tend" on
the modern diesel locomotive is
cited by the Digest article as a
primary example of feather
bedding in practice
Another obsolete rule gives
each engine-crew member basis
days wage for every 100 miles
he travels. This rule dates from
1919, Mr.. Steinberg reports, and
results in such high pay for
short hours" as an engineers
collecting 1.43 days wages for
clipping off 143 miles in two
hours on the Denver Zephyr, and
a Pennsylvania engineers col
lecting Az days pay, or about
$100, for making a 452-mile
roundtrip between New York
City and Washington, D. c., in
a single day.
A companion featherbed rule
splits the nations railroads into
divisions 100 or so miles long,
with crews barred from crossing
these borders. Thus, the Digest
says, eight different engine crews
are required to get the goth Cen
tury Limited over the Is hour
course between New York City
and Chicago.
To an outsider, many of the
decisions of the National Rail
road Adjustment Board in dis
puteS over rules fencing off
road work" from yard work"
| bear a 'tinge of lunacy," Mr..
Steinberg writes.
He cited, for instance, how a
road crew was awarded an extra
days pay for moving a train a
few car lengths in a yard and
how a yard crew got an extras
pay for helping train through
snow just outside yard limits.
Correction of these rules, the
article states, lies Gin greater
sense of responsibility to the
public on the part of the railroad
Brotherhoods."
Mr.. Steinberg believes that a
key factor in the forthcoming
showdown talks will be pressure
from the public, now grown "sick
and tired of costly, wasteful fea-
therbedding."

ding on the Railroads"
