Chicago-born Antek made his
debut in this city at the age
of 16, after completing this

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.

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.

by Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles on his trip to

According to Murphy, Rus
sia is sending the great Bol-
shoi Ballet troupe to Brussels
along with their world-famous
circus. Red China is contribut
ing the Peiping opera.
"So far the American Na
tional Theater Academy of
New York has set up a pro
gram with a couple of ballet
and opera stars," Murphy
went on. "And Walt Disney is
doing a thing on film."
It's Murphy's hope that
Hollywood will ride to the
rescue with stars giving their
time for nothing.
Seeking 'Names'
"I'm attempting to get such
people as Crosby, Sinatra,
Como, Jack Benny, Bob Hope
and Danny Kaye each to

tertaining visitors from all

gins in April and runs for
six months. Some 40 million
people are expected to visit
the exhibition.
"Most of the stars would
donate their services. And it
is my job to get as many peo
ple as possible to make up
the small budget we have to
work with.
Murphy hastened to explain
that the bulk of the U. S. ex
hibit will be devoted to our
scientific, technological and
cultural advances and right
ly so. But he adds that the
entertainment factor is im
portant, too.
