Pennsy. Keeps
Door0pen for
Central Merger
BY the Associated prs.u

The Pennsylvania Railroads
chief executive officer says the
Pennsy is still willing to discuss
a merger with the New York
Central. ~
It would be "a good merger,
with savings in the neighbor-
hood of 500 million annually"
said the Pennsylvania chief
executive. Board Chairman
James M. Symes, yesterday.
He said such a merger would
be in the public interest.
Mr.. SymeS was q Surpriseire-
buttal witness for the Chesa-
peake q Ohio Railroad at an
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion hearing on rival bids of
Central and Gao to acquire
control of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad.
The BIO presented a traffic
study to support its argument
that a C6SO-B6oO combination
would not divert a damaging
amount of traffic from Central.

of three big railroad systems in

newsletter 1.-THE Gallagher Re-
port" estimates that at least
40 new publications are on the
planning boards this year. Pub
lished or announced are: Show
Business Illustrated, Show
U.S.A.I., Atlas, Aware, Fair Sex
Country Beautiful, The Dr.

Tape, Overseas.
This is turmoil indeed Why
are so many publications ir
trouble?
There are several clearly de-
Unable reason why magazines
falter. One is the failure of the
publishers to recognize chang
ing public tastes, to meet them
if not to- anticipate them.
Another is the lack of bright
young men at the second eche-
lon to take over as the good
men at the top grow older.
A third is the hunger of the
publishers for the advertising
dollar-a hunger so blind that
they do not see the need tc
offer quality Of editorial con-
tent and actually, in Gallagh-
er'S angry words. "have the
stupidity to list the editorial
pages as "non-revenue' pages in
their accounting statements!'
Tied to this is a fourth reason
the attempt to compete with
TV, to play the numbers game
instead of identifying their
magazines with their loyal
readers and selling quality, not
quantity.
These are harsh indictments
and Gallagher doesn't pull the
punches in force a sting the
trends either. He foresees, for
instance, an uptrend for the
specialized, professional maya
zine while the big, general pub
locations will have difficulty
staying young. He declares the
newsweeklies are in serious
trouble, facing stiffening COM
petition from national news
papers and Sunday news sum-
