The adaptability of radio com­
munication to certain train and
terminal operations has been un­
der test on Southern Pacific lines
for some time, the company an­
nounced today, following com­
pletion of extensive experiments
in the Sierra Nevada Mountains
and San Joaquin Valley. Other
tests under supervision of A. W.
Flanagan, superintendent of tele­
graph for the railroad, are ex­
pected to be held later.
Southern Pacific was among
the first railroads to use radio in
trains operations, it was pointed
out, the company having install­
ed two licensed transmitters near
the Sierra summit in 1939, where
they are now available for emer­
gency communication with fire­
fighting and snow-fighting trains.
The recent experiments were
conducted with ultra high fre
quency radio in terminals and
over the Sierra, and with induc­
tion telephone, or wired radio, in
the San Joaquin Valley. Com­
munications tested were from
end to end of trains and from
moving trains a wayside stations
during actual operations, accord­
ing to the announcement.

With everybody s h o w i n g
anxiety ubout jobs after the war,
the Govt.,. I reckon, would like
ideas. The folks running the she­
bang for us should know what
we want ’em to do. We pay the
check, so ought to do some of
the ordering. It we care to eat
hamburgers versus fillet mignon
with mushrooms, we should drop
a card to congress, and say so. I
am writing mine—open letter—
as below.
Half or more of us live in smal­
ler places. The Dist. of Columbia
has become so cluttered up and
big, that if you live there a spell,
you have no idea about what is
going on elsewhere—or what
people w ant So to make new em ­
ployment and get our Govt, back
onto the old U.S.A. basis, I pro­
pose moving the Capitol. Move it
nearer the center of our country
—some place like Topeka, Kan­
sas, or Terre Haute, or Keokuk.
A billion dollars is chicken feed
today, so tear down and sell the
whole outfit, including roll-top
desks,etc., at our present capitol.
Build a new, clean place—but
half as big-out West. That will
make jobs—coming and going.
With the fresh air of the West
—with clear thinking—we could
get back in the groove—be the
U. S. A. again.
