Do you enjoy the good things of life?
Then wave a friendly greeting next time
you see a freight train rolling along the
6,5OO-mile Main Lane of Mid-America.
Chances are such trains bring the
things you use most and bring them
most economically. Because nothing
combines economy and speed like freight
cars with steel wheels rolling on steel
rails.
And we're constantly improving. With
piggyback, ~electronics, automated
yards, bigger, more efficient equipment.
And 1868 should bring better use of
manpower and freedom to make more
competitive rates. Meantime, we are
putting $32 million into new equipment
and other Improvements. All of which
will save you money.
We're concentrating on speeding up
Mid-America's growth and prosperity.
Both are good for you and good for us.

When former Speaker Mar

he brought with him as secre-
tary a 22-year-old newspaper
political reporter he met dur

James N. Milne, who had

expected to return eventually

he stayed with Representative

after 38 years Of continuous
service at the Capitol.
At go, Mr.. Milne regards
himself as still young because
I was pretty young when I

he and Mrs. Milne will con-
tinue to live at 1401 South Bar

spend some time each year at
their Swansea, (Mass.) home.
But he added:
"Oh, I'll still be up at the
Capitol now and then. I
couldn't stay away after all
these years"
Besides serving as principal
legislative aide to Mr.. Martin,
Mr.. Milne headed the staff in
the Speakers office when Mr..
Martin occupied it during the

Another inequity complained

PAY FACTS-President Ken

which would be added to the
salary increases already ap-
proved for next January /,
range from 2 per cent for

However, salary increases for
employees making $40, 900 a year
or more would be held in abey-
ance until Congress voted Ex-
ecutive Act salary raises. Also,
there would be no pay raises
for employees In grades / and 2.
The overall average raise
Of the Federal classified en-
ploye pay proposal would be
Al per cent. The postal en-
ploye pay raise would average
about 4 per cent. although
most letter carriers and postal
clerks would get 80 per cent.
The cost OF the additional
pay raises would be $509 mil
lion a year. Added TO the 81
