The four-engine -Douglas-built airliner never achieved the reputation nor the affec tion bestowed on its smaller predecessor, the DC-3. But a lot of pilots are sorry to see the husky veteran disappear ing from schedule airline service. There are still 198 DC-4s being used in scheduled serv ice throughout the world, ac cording to the International Air Transport Association. Most of them are operated by foreign airlines; only a hand ful are still carrying passen gers in the United States. . The DC-4 was America's first . four-engine transport plane, built in 1938 as the suc cessor to the DC-3. The pro totype had a triple-tail similar to Lockheed's Constellations, but Douglas shifted to a sin gle tail and sold the odd-look ing prototype to the Japanese government. . . (The Japanese, who had lit tle experience in handling of planes this big, promptly dunked their DC-4 in Toklo Bay.) Performed Nobly Douglas went on to build about 1,200 DC-4s but World War II kept the fat-fuselaged j transport from ' what "would I have been a leading jrole in commercial aviation. As the military C-54, the big plane performed wartime transpor tation duties nobly. But, by the time the war ended, Doug las was ready with its pressur ized DC-6 and Lockheed col lared the rest of the four-engine market with its Constel lations. The military turned hun dreds of DC-4s back to the air lines, however, and up until the early 1950s it still formed a large chunk of the airlines' four-engine fleet. Even as the airlines shifted to faster, more comfortable pressurized air liners, they used the DC-4 for coach flights and cargo work. Pilots regard the DC-4 with a special, reserved kind of affection-like that given a loyal wife who has developed idio cyncracies over the years. Feminine Characteristics - Recalls Capt. Byron (Dinty) Moore, a five-million-mile vet eran with American Airlines: "No DC-4 ever flew exactly like another DC-4. Some of them seem to carry their years lightly, like a grand mother who still goes danc ing; others have taken on weight in the wrong places, It is an airplane that has an awful lot of feminine charac teristics." - Although most pilots will concede the DC-4 handles with all the grace and effort less ease of a trailer-truck, they do praise its dependabil ity. During the Korean war; a cargo DC-4 accidentally was loaded twice before it left California for the Far East. When the cargo manifests were straightened out in To kyo, officials discovered the plane was overloaded by five tons. The most famous DC-4 was the "Sacred Cow"-the first airliner to be used by a Presi dent of the United States. Franklin Roosevelt flew the "Cow" to overseas confer ences; it was the first plane to be equipped with an elevator for boarding because of FDR's paralysis. Cargo Planes There are still approximate ly 300 DC-4s in existence, in addition to the 198 being used by scheduled airlines. The Air Force flies most of them as cargo planes. And it was Air Force duty that brought the lumbering old veteran its greatest measure of fame-the DC-4 was the plane, that pro vided the bulk of the Berlin airlift, a major victory for the free world in the early days of the Cold War.

It apparently was impossible to overload the plane, and the DC-4 leg- end can be summed up in the load limit instructions handed Inflation Ideas as Stock Market Mover Could Be By ELMER C. WALZER "UPI Financial Editor New York-OJPD-Wall Street has been talking about infla tion as the prime mover of " the stock mar ket and mar kets for so long every- body seems to take that for granted. The infla tion assump tion could be wrong. Per- Elmer Waller haps .it isn't inflation but a desire to put money to work for income -That's an interesting angle and it is brought out in relief by Stephen. Packer of Stand ard Poor's. V ; ' -'- -.- He notes the fact that high- grade corporate bonds now yield 4.10 per cent against an average yield of 3.50 per cent for industrial common stocks. A spread like thus bonds yielding higher than stocks has occurred from time to time for relatively brief per iods. It isn't the usual rela tionship between bonds and stocks. The " problem is to find what caused bonds to lose out in demand and stocks to gain in demand. . Seek Higher Yields Packer holds that "Ameri can individuals and institu tions over the past have been motivated primarily by a quest for higher yields rather than a desire to protect them selves against inflation. "This search for higher yields," he says, "has been accomplished largely within the framework of fixed-in-come' securities. Principal growth in holdings for most institutions has been in mort Tonight's 'Bernadette' Not Recommended by UPI Television Reviewer By WILLIAM EWALD UPI Correspondent New York - (UPD - Tonight's programming offers the 60 minute "Bernadette" on CBS AV's "Desilu Playhouse." Last week, I attended a preview of the filmed "Ber nadette" and I do not recom mend it. It struck me as a botched job-clumsily written, stiffly directed and, with only a couple of exceptions, awkwardly acted. Ed Murrow's "Small World" unbuttoned Sunday on CBS-TV and although the opener had its limp spots, it's a show with great potential. Sunday's episode offered Murrow in a four-way chat with Prime Minister Jawa harlal Nehru of India, author Aldous Huxley who was in Italy and Thomas E. Dewey, who was in Portland, Maine. It was done through the use of film and long distance tele phone and radio, all of it re corded earlier in the month and spliced together. The princiDal fault of the opener was that the partici pants didn't engage in much of a conversation-there was very little feeding back and forth and as a result Murrow had to keep pushing things along. What the show needs is an hour instead of its pres HIGH-CL4SS EXECUTIVES!

Wrong gages and corporates and mu nicipal bonds! most 6f this at the expense of government bonds. "Corporate pension funds have added to . holdings of common stocks, but far more to those of corporate bonds, Even individuals over the past three years have added far more to bond and note holdings than to stocks. "Institutions' eagerness to snap up mortgages as they become available, and the success of corporations and state and local governments in floating record amounts of debt, do not square with the premise that fear of inflation is the crucial factor underly ing current investment de cisions. - ' . "Neither does the record growth of savings deposits achieved during the first sev eral months of this year." An indication of lack of real inflation . hedging in stocks is seen as the failure of mineral and raw material groups that are primary hedges against inflation to perform spectacularly. . The government bond list, Packer holds, has been dragged down by special and temporary factors. These factors include heavy issues of long bonds, the spec ulative wave, that ended in disaster for many Speculators, uncertainties over Federal Reserve moves in the money market, and record bond flotations. Inflation fears may have motivated some investor de cisions, Packer admits, but he believes that other factors would appear to bear pri mary responsibility for to day's stock market strength and bond market weakness.
