EXPERT RALLIES DEFENSENEEDS Ralph Budd Solves Wartime Hauling Problems, Check ing Trains, Trucks- Planes LIVESTOCK Alfalte No. 1 $.4 ton: oat vetch $10 ion; clover tit ton: timothy eastern Oregon (17)11 ton: valley timothy $14 ton Port linl. Other produce price steady, unchanged. Br W. B. Ragsdale. Washington, July 24. (JP) Ralph Budd drives his mind straight through a problem and knows how to obtain coopera tion from the men about him. This is how the transports tlon expert for national defense Is described by men who watch him in action. Already he has rallied the national transports' tion organizations back of the national defense drive, ready to meet such hauling problems as may arise. After their first check of trains, trucks, planes, and ships and defense materials to be moved they expressed full confidence that they will be able to handle the job with straight addition, without resort to any complex formulae. Rail Hauling Slow in 1911. In 1916-18 when America was driving ahead into war and doing such incredible things as turning out a ship a day at Hog Island, the peak load for the railroads ran only twelve per cent above ordinary commer cial levels. On the business spurt between last May and last October, car loadings leaped 50 per cent. Furthermore, the railroads were carrying almost the whole of the nation s hauling burden between 1916 and 1918. The truck business was a puny thing then, handicapped by a lack of paved roads. The airplane was a smaller infant. Even the Mis isippi barge lines did not grow up unhl after the world war. But now Budd has all four forms of transportation ready to respond to the call of nation al need. 41 Years In Transportation. He is a oleasant man with pink cheeks, a receding hair line, and smiling blue eyes that lie back of rimless glasses. His 41 years in the railroading business have taken him Into many Jobs and many climes since he started out as a rod man from the Chi cago, Great Western. Budd, like a lot of other Re publicans, was born in Iowa. He got a bachelor's degree in civil engineering at Highland Park eolleee in Dea Moines. Three years after he went to the Chi .Great Western to help meas ure distances and angles, he moved up to the rank of assist ant engineer. After that things came fast. He became roadmaster, genyal superintendent of construction and finally division engineer for the Rock Island and Pacific. On Panama Job. Then he went to Panama where in various capacities be tween 1906 and 1909 he helped to turn the Panama railroad In to an instrument of aid in the construction of the Panama ca nal. Next he moved to the rail road triumvirate of the Oregon Trunk, Spokane, Portland and Seattle and the Spokane and In land Emoire. In 1913, he be gan his connection with the Great Northern as chief engi neer, and successfully served as assistant to President Carl R. Gray, executive vice president and president. He moved over to the presidency of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy. an af filiate of the Great Northern, in 1831. The United States Is not the first government he has been asked to advise. In 1930 he went to Russia to spend 73 days and travel 16,000 miles making Fortune Portland. July 34.
