Radar Tower
Plan Continued
by the Associated Press

The Coast Guard says the
collapse Of the Texas tower
radar platform in the Atlantic
will not affect its plan to re-
place 10 lightships with struc-
lures similar to the towers.
The Coast Guard said its
platforms will be considerably
smaller, and involve basically
different construction than the
Air force installation that COL
lapsed Sunday night off New
York Harbor with the loss Of
% lives.
In August the Coast Guard
announced long range plans to
replace two Of it's lightships
with stationary platforms
standing in the ocean on stills.
The first of these, replacing
the Buzzards Bay lightShip
south of Cape Cod, Mass, is to
be built this year.
A second Coast Guard plat
form is being designed and
may be built near Newport,
r. I. Unlike the Buzzards Bay
installation, this would operate
automatically without a human
crew.
The Texas towers erected by
the Air Force are triangular
platforms standing on three
legs. each more than 10 feet
in diameter. The Coast Guard
platforms will be square, have
four 30-inch legs and be much
smaller.
Coast Guard engineers said
there would be less chance Of
the smaller legs being under
mined by underwater currents.
Some experts believe wave &C
ton may have caused the COL
lapse Of the Air Force tower.

Implied in their plea Is that
granted the relief sought, the rail-
roads can recover enough business
to justify the re-employment Of
some of the laid-off workers.
Negro union leaders are hopeful
that any such improvement would
affect their legions of idle men.
At the least they would expect that
further reduction in their ranks
would be checked and at best that
Negroes would find new employ
ment in capacities from which
they have been barred in the past.
Face Uncertain Future
Whether conditions will ever
bring back the days when Negroes
earned a 1865, 900, 900 chunk of the
railroads annual payroll is a mat
ter of speculation.
Negro income has not been re-
duced as drastically as the loss of
jobs would at first suggest because
Of increased wages.
In recent report, Smith point
ed out that the wages of dining
car walters, for example, have in
creased from S62.5O per month in
1889, to $500 per month in 1856, to
the present $4OO per month.
Davis said there have been sim
liar increases for Red Caps. Prior
to 1912, they received no salary
at all, working for tips alone.
Since that time they have been
receiving regular wages which
have increased over the years.
Even if there is no improvement
in the employment picture, Ne
groes still have a stake in the rail-
roads as a source Of income.
