Balance of Payments
~ SYLVIA PORTER

In almost every major mes
sage and press conference,
President Kennedy warns that
among the most urgent prob
lens we face is the balance
OF payments" We are told that
unless the deficit in this bal
ance is minimized, the drain
on our gold reserve will become
intolerable, the dollar will 90
down and the economy suffer.
What, you might ask, is the
balance of payments? Why is
there a deficit in it? What is
the connection between the bal
ance of payments deficit and
the Presidents plea for power
to lower our tariff walls and
his appeal to business and
labor leaders to show restraint
on price and wage increases?

New Southern Railway President

No one can deny the effec-

countries than we pay out t.
them, we have a surplus ir
our balance Of payments. Then
we can do the same-withdray
from their gold reserves or builo
up claims against them.
Estimates are that in 1861
we paid out $2.1 billion more
to other countries than we took
in. AS a result, our gold hoard
dwindled-to the lowest total in
decades-and our creditors built
their dollar claims against us
to new highs. We have been
running in the red in our in
ternational accounts for years
and still are.
Why the deficit? It's not be-
cause we're importing more
goods than we're exporting! On
the contrary, last year, we sold
S. billion more abroad than
we bought from abroad. But
trade is only part of the pay
ments picture.

Memo to other railroads
curious about the Southern
Railway Systems plans for the
future:
A look at D. William Bros
nan. who takes office today
as new president, offers some
clues.
Mr.. Brosnan is a Southerner.
holds a degree in engineering
from Georgia Tech, has pat
ented numerous inventions for
railroad use, and dislikes costly
duplication of. management and
facilities in the industry.
Translation: He'll continue
Southern's highly successful
program of Turing industry to
Dixie; will push its moderniza-
tion program and new equip
ment designs such as South
ems special lightweight, high
capacity freight cars, and has
some merger plans brewing.
The new 58-year-old boss of
the 8,200-mile system, eighth
largest railroad in freight reve-
nues in the Nation with head
quarters here in Washington,
mas worked his. way up through
the ranks. He knows what it's
ike to knock a railroad tie
loose with sledge hammer and
pick. He did it for six months
on a track gang early in his
career.
Led to Invention
One result was his invention
OF an automatic tie-laying
machine that does the job 20
times as fast.
Unlike the job-hopping ex-
ecutive in today's electronics
industry, for example, Mr..
Brosnan has spent the last So
years in one company, the
Southern. He is modest about
his contributions.
I've enjoyed contributing to
modern railroading. Some of
my inventions have been pat
ented. Many have not. But
all have been productive in
improving efficiency and serv-
1ce," he said in an interview.
Though he has pushed mod
ernization programs, e.g., cleo !
tronic switching yards at Knox
vile, Chattanooga, Birmingham
and Atlanta costing a total Of ,
some $50 million, the new !
president still thinks a work. +
out with the pick and shovel is
good for trainees.

to stand that, you can't >
take other pressures later" he =
declared. !.
Doubles Car Capacity
Among other Southern devel- {
opments in which Mr.. Brosnan 6
has had a hand is an aluminium l.

big John" car, more than
double the capacity OF standard
hoppers and designed to help
the system lower rates.
The Big John car, he ex-
planned, weighs 10 tons less
than a steel one would, and that
means $50 more tons of ray
load year.
Multiply that by 50 or SO
per ton in added carrying ca
pacity and it becomes a rather
dynamic plus of 81, 300 to So, 900
additional revenue per car per
year. The cars don't rust,
need no paint and are largely
trouble free. The aluminium
car opens a bright new door to
lower transportation COSTS" he
said.
The aluminium car came
along two years ago at a timely
moment. A pipeline to pump
pulverized coal suspended in
water has begun operations in
Ohio, a serious threat to rail
freight But thanks to larger
cars such as Southern's alum
mum ones, the railroads can
still carry coal cheaper, the rail
president said.
Mergers have been part of
the Southern's growth. Indeed
the whole 68-year-old system
is the result of merging COM
panies. In the past decade
has added seven lines
with revenues of about SIS mil
lion q year. More are being
quietly eyed.
Merger Necessity"
lone fact not talked about
too much is that there are too
many railroad managements,"
Mr.. Brosnan com ment ted.
There are more than los
Class I railroads-those with
gross revenues of over So mil
lion year - and with that
many arrangements, it's diff
cult to have a meeting of
Efficiency would be
greatly increased if there were
four or six systems in the
country.
I'm my Judgment the pres
ent large number of railroad
arrangements does not make
or the most efficient opera
ion and the best service. I
link mergers are a necessity"
Along with a tough, COM
oetitive outlook, Southern's
new president retains a meas

rymen famous. It's an assets

Editors Note: Very few people
recall the early days in this area
as does r. S. Mutt of Sidney. This
story of the early town of Mondak
IS one of a series that Mutt has
prepared for publication. Mutt was
banker at one time in Mondak.)
Thanks TO North Dakota, week
ends in Mondak were about as
wild as a fox in a chicken coop.
North Dakota was a dry state and
many came from as far east as
Devils Lake to Mondak on Satur-
day and returned Sunday eve
ming.
They left most of their money
in Mondak. Ranchers and cow
boys alike would join in with
such outlaws as Pigeontoed Kid,
XII Mathews and others. 1t would
be difficult TO find a wilder gam
bling town than MOndak.
Many exciting episodes took
place in MOndak such as robberies
and killings. Great bands of horse
thieves who trailed bands OF
horses from as far as Oregon
crossed at a point near Mondak
