EX-PRODIGT DIES New York 'IP Samuel Antek, a musical prodigy who later became director and conductor of the New Jersey Symphony orchestra, died of a heart attack in the lobby of the Great Northern hotel here Monday. ,He was 49. The Chicago-born Antek made his debut in this city at the age of 16, after completing this musical education as a fel lowship student at the Jul liard School of Music. He was a violinist for many years with the National Broadcast ing Company Symphony Or chestra under Arturo Toscan- nini. Oldsmobile Leads Medium Price Glass In Retail Sales Oldsmobile has moved ahead of all competitors in the medium price class in the sale of new cars since the 1953 models were introduced, a c c o r d i ng to Oldsmobile's general manager and vice president of General Motors, J. F. Wolfram. "I believe this indicates," Wolfram said, "that Oldsmo bile will make an even stronger impact on the medi um price class market in 1958. Mr. Darrell Miller of the Darrell Miller Co. in Med ford confirmed the fact that he has been informed by Mr. Wolfram that Oldsmobile is now the leader in the medi urn price class since the 1958 cars were unveiled. Miller al so stated that Oldsmobile out registered any other medium price car in Jackson County throughout 19o7. Wolfram, prior to new model introductions, had pre dicted a good year for his company. . In meetings with automotive writers, he had stated that Oldsmobile ex pected to take a larger share of medium price class. "Oldsmobile sales since the introduction of the 1958 mod els in early November have been higher than during the same period a year ago, Wolfram added. "In the months of November and De cember, Oldsmobile retail sales increased by 10 per cent over the same period of 1956." "Public reception of our brilliantly styled 1958 cars would indicate that our opti mism is justified. It is appar ent that more and more peo ple like Oldsmobile's 'mobile look' and the continued engi neering leadership for which Oldsmobile has become fa mous," Wolfram concluded. Advertisement. Eastern Railroads Report for 1957 Show Sore Spots By ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor New York HP) Reports of the eastern railroads coming to light for 1957 reveal where the sore spot in the railroad picture lies. All of these roads the big passenger carrying lines showed sharp declines from a year ago. New York Central Railroad, second largest in the nation, lost S500 million on its pas senger business, according to Alfred E. Perlman, president, If that $50 million could have been added to the net in come for 1957 the total would have been a cool $58 million plus in net profit instead of S8.4 million and the best year since 1943 when net was S62.7 million instead of the worst year in a decade. Pennsylvania Railroad, the nation's largest railroad on an asset basis, had net income of SI. 45 a share in 1957 against $3.16 in 1956. Central's 1957 net was a mere $1.30 a share against $6.02. New Haven for the first 11 months of 1957 had a deficit of $3.31 a share against a deficit of $2.55 a share in 1956 for the same period. Each year some 66 million passengers come in and go out of the giant Pennsylvania Station in New York. About 37 million of them go in and out of Grand Central as com muters and a total for that road runs to 54,300,000 pas sengers yearly out of the Grand Central as commuters and a total for that'road runs to 54,300,000 passengers year ly out of the Grand Central. The automobile has cut pas senger travel for most rail roads and therein has been a blessing rather than a curse on the basis of costs of carry ing passengers, it is pointed out. Back in war days when auto travel was banned, the daily in and out passenger move from Pennsylvania Station in New York reached 109 mil lion. A Good Thing The auto is a good thing for the New York Central when the business is high since that road carries vast amounts of automobile supplies. Also it is I a heavy mover of coal and ore. In 1957 all these ..were down. Now look at some of the other railroads. Those show ing a gain in 1957 earnings over 1956 include Chesapeake & Ohio fhelped by coal), Nor folk & Western (also coal), Northern Pacific, and South ern Pacific. Atlantic Coast Line which carries many long distance and no commuter pas sengers, had a fairly good year. The eastern roads hope Congress will do something to help them into better times now that they have told the Senate all their troubles. Meantime, the more passenger business they get the more money they lose. And, unlike New York's subways, they've got to give each passenger a seat. f , "t w 'FUR' GOODNESS SAKES!
