Today that line-the South
Carolina Canal and Rail Road
Co.'s part of the Southern
Railway System, with head
quarters in Washington. Now
the railroad is bigger, richer
and far more complex-but
some of that early enthusiasm
still remains.
Like the South. the Southern
Railway is changing. And there
is no better place to view the
change than from the eleventh
floor of the Southern Railway
Building at Fifteenth and K

Born In Virginia
The railroads preside n t.,
Harry A. deButts, is an exam
pie of the twin spirits of ira
dition and progress which
guide the corporation.
The son Of a Delaplane CVa.)
railroader- turned farmer, Mr..
deButts, "a. vividly recalls
when Col. John S. Mosby used
to visit with his grandfather
who had fought with the fam
Gus raider in the Civil War.
He also remembers wanting
to be a railroad conductor
more than anything else" al
though ''the closest I got to
that was trainmaster."
He first reported to work in
1916, joining a Southern Rail-
way force near Culpeper. Va.

recalled. but stubbornly refused
to allow him the use Of the
small I'd" with which his last
name begins.
He was a nice enough fel-
low" the president said, but
he didn't believe in anyone
starting his name with a small
letter.
The youngsters name went
down in company payrolls as
"DeButts" s"-with a capital ID"
and has remained that way
ever since so far as the rail-
road is concerned.
In the course of 35 years, he
worked at nearly every job the

deButts declared, land other
industries, such as chemicals
followed"
To-day" he added, there
is diversification in the South
that is remarkable. We feel
the Southern Railway has had
a lot to do with it."
Profits from Change
The railroad. naturally, has
prof1ted by this change. Net
income for the Southern Rail-
way Co. in 1859 was S33 mil
lion or $4.65 per share Of COM
mon stock, compared to $50
million in 1858. Nearly 27.OOO
persons share in its ownership
Gross operating revenues for
the year were s272 million, sl4
million more than in 1858.
Nearly S8 cents of each dollar
was earned from freight, while
passenger revenues amounted
to as cents.
Nevertheless, the executive
says, we're going to have
passenger service indefinitely.
People will start coming back
to the railroads largely because
Of danger on the highways"
He noted that the system
had spent $546 million since
World War II in modernization
efforts. The railway has speeded
up its schedules and improved
services by installing push
button" yards, revamping Of
fees and stations and stream
lining its rolling stock.
I'VE were almost in the
sheriff's hand in the '3Os," Mr.,
deButts recalled, but we've
been well in the black ever
since"
Against Excessive Controls
Like many another railway
official (he is a director of
the Association of American
Railroads., Mr.. deButts be-
lieves the Government must
free the rails Of what he con-
siders excessive controls.
Recent legislation along that
line has helped, he says, but
still more is needed. He is re-
minded. he observed, of the
clerk who was trying to sell
him a complicated toy for his
grandson.
IT'S an educational toy"
the clerk declared, designed
to adjust a child to live in the
world of today. Anyway he puts
it together. it's wrong"
The same thing, according
to Mr.. deButts applies to the
complex problems that exist in
transportation today.
There never seems to be
any real and lasting solution, "
he said.
We ask no favors-onIy a
fair shake" he declared. What
we need most is the freedom to
compete"

John F. Kennedy.
Though emergency measures are
being taken and though several
countries, notably England and
Holland, have moved to ease the
drain, the dollar stockpile fell be-
low the permissible minimum oil

weeks.
The United Nations moved to
help the u. s. dollar at about this
time and Treasury Secretary Bob
Anderson undertook still another
trip to western Europe to seek
further help. But in spite of all
this, it was far from certain that
the drain on the dollar could be
stopped.
Indeed West Germany, with
eight billions in gold and gather
ing in more all the time, may be
the key factor in the developing
crisis. Having indicated a desire
to help, but having done very lit

Christmas, 1860. Have you ever
stopped to think that this day
will only come once in a lifetime?
Sure, there will be other Christ
masses, but they won't be quite
like this one; just as this one
won't be quite like the last one,
or the one before, or those Christ
masses we had when was a kid. D."
There will be other Christmas
es Just as there are other days,
and weeks, and years. And there
will be the same Santa Claus.
But he won't visit the same kids
in the same way again Eyes that
once sparkled and gazed wonder
ingly upward on Christmas Eve
will have hardened a little, and
instead of the joyous anticipation
of bright, shiny gifts full of prom
ising hours of a world Of make
believe, these same eyes may be
turned TO nom and dad in plea
for a new dress, maybe a record
player, or a motor scooter. or
even a car.
The same time of year will
come again. And with il will
come the same tasks Of sending
out cards, shopping, hOuSe-clean-
ing, decorating, and all those
things which must be done for
so many reasons.
But il never seems quite COM
plete. does il? When it's all over

We didn't get, or give, just the
right thing. Or perhaps We forgot
someone who remembered US.
Or worse still. perhaps we re-
membered someone who has for

much someone who can no more
demonstrate material remem-
brance.
And what about ourselves?
Have we tried to understand the
reason for having Christmas?
Have we given all We can, or have
we only given what we don't need
of the fruits Of our daily tasks?
The greatest gift costs nothing,
yet il takes everything we have.

end the current fiscal year with a
surplus of about four billion dol
lars-back last January. That es-
innate was scaled down a couple
of months ago and now it appears
that the country may end the year
with deficit instead of surplus.
Kennedy has told many friends
he must and will move to aid the
distressed areas Immediately and
Congress is already partly organ,
lied to take action in this field
soon after it convenes. In add,
ton, Kennedy has hopes of car
rying out a broad domestic pro-
gram-which will cost money.
He hopes to increase the ma.
TONS defense, in addition to sta
bilizing the dollar, enacting his
social program and rejuvenating
the country's foreign policy. It's a
tall order, even if there were to
be a surplus. Now it appears that
Kennedy will inherit a deficit
and that's the king-sized knot he
and his top aides are trying to un'
ravel now.
The electoral vote was an al
most certain victory for Kennedy
Immediately after the November
9th election. Most people over
looked the fact that if row in
Illinois held up that states con
tribution to the Kennedy elector
al total, this combined with the
detection of several southern
states, still would not have been
enough to defeat Kennedy.
The Constitution says that the
President will be determined by
the vote of electors and that the
man receiving the largest mum
Der shall be President. Most writ
ers wrote that Kennedy needed
369 votes in the electoral college

to win, but If Illinois or any
other state did not participate in
the electoral vote, then Kennedy
no longer needed that many!
So Kennedy's forces were con-
fident of victory even when the
Illinois vote was in doubt.
Vice President Nixon's leader
ship in the Republican Party is
now under double challenge.
First, almost Immediately after
the presidential election, New
York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller
challenged the Nixon leadership
of the party.
Now there are rumblingS from
Senators and Congressman. They
say the elected Republican lead
ers on Capitol Hill will be the
leaders of the party, and party
policy, in the next two to four
years. Since Nixon is no longer
in Congress, he will be in the
sidelines, as far as the Capitals
Democratic COP battlefield is
concerned.
Nixon faces a big decision -
whether to run for the governor
ship of California in 1862 - and
it may be that he will have to
make this effort to maintain his
political glamor in the COP.
