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
