They will be able to watch the proceedings on a television screen. Operations and demonstrations at the cancer research institution will be televised by cameras sus pended directly above the tables in two operating rooms and the autopsy room. Physicians and students will ob serve the procedures in an audi torium which will be equipped with a special television screen.

Woo Prices Rolled Back WASHINGTON (P) Price Di rector Michael V. DiSalle Satur day night signed an order rolling back ceiling prices on raw wool an average of slightly more than 20 per cent. It was learned that the roll backs are not due to take effect until some future date, probably within 60 to 90 days. Office of Price Stabilization of ficials declined to give details of order, scheduled to be made pub lie next Wednesday. A companion order will cut back wool futures ceilings. OPS officials, wool growers and processors and woolen textile manufacturers all have empha. sized that the reduction of ceil. ings will have no effect on con sumer prices for clothing and other articles made from wool.

Then he'll tell you he doesn't have any in stock and, further more, he isn't geared to make one for you. Little publicized even within the transportation trades, there's been a sharp point of demarcation in the history of railroads. The diesel is in and the steam engine is out. Oh, sure, there'll be some steam locomotives around for another generation. But when the present crop is worn out, the only steam engines to be seen will be in junk piles and museums. Last Were Built in '48 Lots has been written on the demise of the glamorous huff-puff locomotive. It's been fading out lor years. But now there's one great big fact: There isn't a steam engine being manufactured in America, today. The Baldwin - Linn - Hamilton Corp., the largest manufacturer of railroad locomotives, last week informed the Register-Guard it has not been actively engaged in the manufacture of steam engines since 1948, when it turned out several hundred locomotives for export. "Prior to that, the manufac turers reported, "the domestic railway business in steam loco-j motives had dwindled to nothing hit 1 CiAB I ! month as a steam engine.

A steam engine of the same power will cost about half this. The answer is twofold . . . maintenance and fuel cost.

The order was for 20 of the big cab ahead engines. (The cab is in front so the engineer and fireman can see around the curves.) Why? It's Cheaper The SP reports it knows of no one in the United States building steam engines at the present time. Queries to major manufacturers have proved this right. Why all this passion for diesel power? Simple ... it costs less to run a railroad with oil. Initial investment, true, is high er. A diesel costs about $100 per horsepower.

Captures More Enegy. i In its pocess of using an internal combustion engine to turn an electric generator which in turn transmits its energy to the motors which revolve the wheels, thej diesel locomotive will capture an average of 27 per cent of the la tent energy in its fuel. The steam locomotive, however, captures only about 7 per cent of the energy in its fuel. So the truth boils down to this: While the diesel fuel will cost more per gallon, the- locomotive does considerably more work on a dollar's worth of fuel than does the old-fashioned steam engine. work out of the diesel. In many areas, the rule is "work the diesel 20 out of every 24 hours." This means a geared-up opeartion, with practically no ' diesels setting on sidings for more than minutes. The 'HUP a Toughle In the Eugene area, the trin up the "hill" to Cascade Summit a reputation with railroaders. What has the diesel meant to the local division? Economy, of course, for the same reasons list ed above. But another compli cation has arisen. No matter how much power is applied, there s a limit to the ton- means to eliminate use of helper" engines for the hill trip. To a certain extent, the diesels do that. But on each freight or passen ger car there is a "drawbar" and a "coupler." There's the catch. Makes Starts Easier With the most powerful unit on the road, one engine cannot pull more than about 3500 tons up the hill. That's because the couplings will break. So a helper is still used on long freights over the hill. Should the cars be replaced with stronger underpinning, then the big diesel would come into its own, and long freight trains would be headed by one lone diesel. Still the diesel operation is cheaper. Another blessing from diesel power conversion is to the pas senger. If you've ridden on the Cascade or the Shasta Daylight, SP's two crack streamliners, you've noticed that easy, gliding "take-off." No chug-bang-crash any more. Just a nice woosh and you're picking up speed while still waving to Aunt Mary on the plat form. That's due to the instant power application of the diesel. The old steam engine would Jump then catch up with itself. And the pas. senger would jump, too. Not any. more. Yep, the new-iangiea diesel lo comotive is playing a more and more important part in today's transportation.
