DC-4, Gallant Workhorse of
Sky, About Ready To
Washington-(UPD-Get ready
to bid goodbye to a gallant old
aerial workhorse-the DC-4.
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.
Those were the days when

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

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

"Institutions' eagerness to

An indication of lack of

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

disaster for many Speculators,
uncertainties over Federal
Reserve moves in the money

Skies Reported
In Most Sections
By United Press International
Generally fair skies and
crisp autumn weather greeted
most of the nation Monday,
with precipitation confined
largely to areas in or near
the country's four corners.
In Texas, Gov. Price Daniel
promised he would act if nec
essary in an effort to alleviate
a flood threat along the low
er reaches of the Rio Grande
river.
The river, swollen by flood
waters from the Falcon dam
reservoir, the Alamo river in
Mexico, the Monte Gomez
dam in Mexico and its own
tributaries, poses a record
flood threat at Brownsville,
Tex.
Daniel said he would order
tenant farmers to remove
sandbags from the dry Hack
ney lake to help divert the
rampaging Rio Grande. The
floodwaters were expected to
first fill the lake and then
course harmlessly through a
floodway into the Gulf of
Mexico.
