The Florida Democrat said
"We have evidence" that
these plans are being made
in Cuba right now.
Smathers made the state'
ment while discussing the de
cision of the organization of
American States to break off
diplomatic relations with Tru
lillo's regime. He said he
would be in favor of Trujlllo's
fall from power if there was
any assurance that he would
be replaced "By Democracy
bucIi as we have In Florida,
oi New York, or Maryland."
Friendly to U.S.
; But he addld: "Let's, don't
make the mistake we made
with Cuba." Despite the fact,
that Trujlllo Is a dictator,

Smathers added, seemed to be
in favor of Trujillo's collapse.
But he said It would be the
height of absurdity to let
Cuba's Fidel or Raul Castro

public. ;
"Then you've lost Haiti,
and then Venezuela, and then
you've lost the whole Carib

Smathers came out In favor
of breaking off diplomatic re
lations with Cuban regime im

such action would help lead
to castro s downfall,

"That contuses the Latin

He said his biggest argu

arguing that there is some
hope, or prospect,- of getting
Castro away from the Com

By HENRY J. BECHTOLD
UPI Financial Edl.or
New York - (UPD - The rail
roads are not the only ones
that stand to benefit from the
merger trend
in that indus
try. -The
nation's
shippers are
expecting t o
reap appreci
able benefits
from these
marriages.
The biggest
Henry Bechtold benefit will
be the faster movement of
freight at lower rates through
the rescheduling and elimina
tion of duplicate lines and
facilities.
Additional savings to the
shippers will come from the
better i service the bigger,
healthier rail lines will offer,
and the increased use of auto
mation and modern equip
ment developed through the
merger railroad's stepped-up
research spending.
Railroad mergers are being
pursued vigorously with a
total of 22 lines now involved
in talks. The most recent con
solidation is the one between
the Erie and the Delaware.
Lackawanna & Western which
becomes effective Oct. 17.
Competition Cut
The effects of this merger,
according to Purchasing Week
magazine, would be that dupli
cate lines from Buffalo, N.Y.
to s points leading into New
England will be abandoned,
with only the shorter Erie run
to Maybrook, N.Y. maintain
ed, i ' ;
Duplicate freight yards in
Binghamton and Elmira, N.Y.,
also will be abandoned, and
a new electronic yard will be
built in Buffalo where the
two lines will be merged.
There will be no duplication
of trains, and more frequent
runs-will be rescheduled on
the same route. '
The magazine Dolnterl nut
that "two-road" rates for such
commodities as gravel and
cement will be reduced. And'
better service should result
from ; the expansion of the
more than 30 Erie and 27
Lackawanna sales offices to
100 offices for the mprepri
line.' 'i-. ...':( : : i . .-.
The relative sDeed. whieh
the Erie-Lackawanna and the
Virginian Norfolk & Western
mergers were completed has
led to hopes that a number of
other railroad consolidations
would be consummated quick
ly. Other Forthcoming Mergers
V The most important merger
talks now going on are be
tween the Baltimore & Ohio,
Rallies Planned
. Washington- HJPD -The Na
tional Volunteers for Nixon
Lodge plan to stage "Opera
tion Freedom" rallies during
the last week in October.
The rallies, coordinated by
former Maryland Governor
Theodore McKeldon and John
Richardson Jr., will be kick
ed off with a meeting on Oct,
23-commemorating the 1056
Hungarian revolution.
Another event will be a
marathon run from New York
to Washington by an Iron
Curatin refugee who '. will
carry a "Leadership for Free
dom" scroll.. The scroll will
be in behalf of the 35 million
citizens of foreign-birth and
their families, the Volunteers
said. .;--'; -.
The runner is scheduled .to
deliver the scroll to Vice
President Richard M. Nixon.
Device Opens New
Field for Blind
Portland -(UPD- A device
which opens a new field of
employment opportunity for
the blind has been developed
by two engineers-here.
The device' permits opera
tion or any telephone switch
board., by a sightless person.
It was developed by Harry R.
Banks and Charles Nickerson
of Pacific Telephone - North
west... -. (-..
It is called the "Bell Tele
Braille." The unit translates
information normally seen by
a switchboard attendant into
Braille codes which can be
swiftly "read" through touch
by a sightless person.
COMMON TONGUE

of
New York Central and ths'
Chesapeake & Ohio. Such a
consolidation could eliminate
at least one of their three port '
terminals at- Baltimore,- Nor
folk and New York, 1,200
miles of duplicate track, and
numerous duplicate stations."
According to the magazine,
coal producers say they can
save $1 a ton , if the C&O
takes over maintenance of the
B&O.
The Interstate ' Commerce
Commission now is consider
ing a merger of the Seablard
and the Atlantic Coast Lines,
which would save the two
lines an estimated $38 million
per year.
The proposed end-to-end
merger of the Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy, the Great
Northern, the Northern Pa
cific, and the Spokane, Port
land & Seattle would prob
ably . eliminate all inter
changes from Chicago to
points in the Northwest.
Purchasing Week quoted
the consulting engineer of the
Erie merger as saying this
merger trend means that the
cm ux iiiier-iHuruHU cumpeu-
tion has ended. "The roads no
longer have a monopoly on
transportation and their pr'ob- ,
lem is to meet the competi--tion
of other forms of trans
portation." . -
