American AnIines
To Simplify Rotes

American Airlines announced
it has filed a new air freight
tariff proposing a single rate
for nearly all products in place
of the hundreds now in use.
The new tariff, which is
scheduled to become effective
October %. subject to approval
of the Civil Aeronautics Board,
also establishes a new off
peak" air freight service on
major long-haul routes during
certain daylight hours at rs
per cent of the new single rate,
and provides standardized dis
counts for volume shippers.
G.. Marion Sadler, vice presi-
dent and general manager.
described Americans new tariff
as a "jet-age" system designed
to simplify the air freight rate
structure and expand the air
freight market. He called it
the most important freight rate
development since his company
filed the first air freight tariff
in September, 1914.

DETROIT, Sept. 26 (AP).-
Passenger car production this
year is running about Is per

midyear it was % per cent

Advance schedules indicated
the gap would be narrowed con-
siderably during the third quar-

local strikes at General Motors
the past two weeks eliminated
any chance of a big gain.

Overseas Sales
Of u. S. Firms
At $23.6 Billion

Foreign branches and SUBJ
sidiaries of American firms in
creased their sales last year by
II per cent to a record $23.6
billion.
The Commerce Department
said yesterday 1860 sales COM
pared with a 1859 total of '$2.1
billion. About so per cent OF
the gain was in Europe and
centered in industries making
auto and other transportation
equipment.
Sales by foreign subsidiaries
have risen much more sharply
than exports in recent years,
the report noted. Since sales
figures first we're compiled in
1857, exports have risen by S
per cent, whereas deliveries by
foreign subsidiaries have in
creased by 90 per cent.
Expanded output of trans
portation equipment accounted
for 40 per cent of last years
sales advance. Exceptional
gains also were recorded in the
chemical machinery producing
industry.
Here is how sales by Subsid-
iaries Jared in principal over
seas areas last year:
Europe. up SIS billion to 1913
billion; Canada, up 5000 mil

81 Million BowIers

This fall about s million
men, women and youngsters
will bowl regularly as members
of organized teams and leagues.
Another 25 million Americans
will go in for bowling inde-
pendently. These 81 million
bowlers represent a gain from
the 12.5 million individual
bowlers in 1916.
In this first of a series of
three interviews with leading
industrialists, Lloyd R. Lud-
wig, president of American In
ternational Bowling Corp. the
worlds largest operator of
bowling centers, anaylzes this
recreation-a word the industry
prefers to sport" in describ-
ing itself.
@. PORTER: Why the as
founding growth in bowling?
A. LUDWIG: An angle that
no one has emphasized but
which l think is most signifi-
cent is that this is an activity
which reduces tensions in peo-
pie. Psychologically, throwing q
ball at something relieves wor-
rieS about work loads, world
crises. 1t is a psychological
need for many people who en-
vision each pin as someone
they dislike and who get rid
of their anger by knocking
down the pins.
Leisure Increases
More fundamental reasons,
of course, are the shorter work.
ing hours and higher pay of re-
cent years - developments
which also have spurred the
growth of boating and sales
of hi-fi equipment, books, pho

Also most important in the

the bowling industry an aura
of respectability it never had
before.
@. PORTER: What about the
the influence of women and
schools?
A. LUDWIG: The steadily
increasing interest of women in
bowling is a crucial factor in
the induStry's growth. Bowling
centers today often have a
country club atmosphere, and
for many women their bowling
team has taken the place of the
card club.
The fact that schools have
accepted bowling has been q
great plus. Some high schools
and colleges have built bowling
lanes into their plant; other.
have included bowling as ar
intramural activity. There are
many championship tourna
ments.
Finally, you shouldn't under.
estimate the growing use o.
bowling centers by senior citi'
zens, both men and women.
@. PORTER: How does this
translate into dollars anc
cents?
A. LUDWIG: The bowling
industry derives important
revenue not only from actual
bowling fees but also from
sales at the snack bars anc
restaurants in the lanes, the
sales and rental of bowling
equipment such as shoes ano
balls. These items run into
millions annually.
Expenses Outlined
The individual bowler i:
likely to spend between 50 anC
! 81 during an afternoon or eve
ming of bowling. About $3.50 o.
this represents the bowling fet
(which averages about As cents
per line). The best estimate
can make on the gross Of al
the bowling establishments ir
this country-and there are
about 10000 of them-is that
it will run close to $1.2 billion
this year. There's no point ir
comparing this with the gross
of 10 years ago. 1t dwarfs it.
@. PORTER: How much
does it cost to set up a bowling
center?
A. LUDWIG: The invest.
ment can be tremendous. There
are about 10000 lanes in op.
Grafton currently, an increase
Of 81 per cent in the past yeal
and about three times the
number in 1916.
Each of the automatic pin
spoilers in a bowling center
costs about $4,000. Additiona
equipment for each center
averages around $1,000 per lane
and the land and building cost
of a typical new center will
run about $4,000 per land
Thus before a single ball il
rolled, a 24-lane center - 8
small one today-could cost
100000.
