In their words, "He has heart and understanding." The effect of .Pierce's years of ; effort Is exemplified- by Armo Lachman, 51, a native of Berlin who . escaped the Hitler movement In the 1030s and came to Houston. Lachman was naturalized in 1983 after attending Pierce's school and has volunteered to help teach classes ever since. Ha said he considers himself "very, fortunate" - to ha v e known Pierce.

Indian Railways Make $41 Million Profit New. Delhi (UPD While American railroads fight to stay alive, the government owned Indian Railways has announced a healthy $41 mil lion profit for the last fiscal year. According to the annual re port issued by the Railway Ministry, passenger 'and freight traffic during the year was the highest in history. During the period from April , 1, 1B59 to March 31, I960,- the Indian Railways, which constitute India's prin cipal means of transport, car ried 1.5 billion passengers (nearly four times India's population) and 143 million tons of freight. - Compared to the previous Movie Lot Undergoing Wholesale Destruction For Sake, of Progress By VERNON SCOTT could relive the ' adventures HollywoodUPD-A railroad station is being demolished, a Chicago street and' an Al gerian square . flattened and a western town leveled-with narv. a bomb dropped on Southern California. .

Bulldozers and wrecking crews are tearing apart build ings and landscapes laminar to millions of movie-goers. Progress, you know. To old Hollywood nanas it, is a sad sight. Mansion No Mora Among the first to go was a colonial mansion built for Shirley Temple's "The Little Colonel" back In 1934. Since then it has been used In some 35 pictures, including "Pinky," "Sanctuary,"' "Dad-dy-Long-Legs," "The " Hunt ers" and "Carousel. The studio is draining the 'Chicago lake," prominently starred in a dozen pictures, includeing "Little Old New York," "In Old Chicago," "Pi rates of Tortuga" and "Black Swan.". ,l - Battering rams have taken over where cameras once roll ed along "Tombstone Street." Heroes and badmen no longer will shoot it out as they did In "Warlock," "Rawhide," "The- Gunfighter" and "The Ox-Bow Incident." And pretty girls in starch ed petticoats have vanished forever from the "New Eng land Street." It was along- this shaded avenue that "State Fair" was filmed, along with "The Foxes of Harrow, Good Morning Miss Dove" and scores of others. It, too, is being razed.

But the tourists never go out there. year, the traffic and freight were up 6.50 per cent and 8.63 per cent, respectively. The Indian railway system biggest in Asia and fourth largest in the - world, - first started in 1853 with a 20-mile route. During the British era, railroaders pushed their wide,- narrow- . and. meter gauge tracks ail over undivi ded - India, connecting the Khyber Pass in the northwest to the Burmese border in the southeast. At present, the Indian rail roads cover about 37,000 route miles. Of this, only 3,000 miles are run by private railways. Such railways op erate in some of the hilly, for est regions of the country and have to pay a royalty to the government. . With independence in 1947, India inherited a sick railway system. The depression of the 1930's had -hit the Indian rail way hard, making replace ment of rolling stock difficult- Worse yet, nearly 4,000 miles of railroad tracks ' were up rooted during world War II and sent to overseas war thea ters together with 200 locomo tives and 8,000 cars. Independence meant parti tion of the Indian sub-continent and the Indian railways were hurt again when 80,000 Moslem' railwaymen left for service in Pakistan. Since most of the technical person nel in undivided India were either .Anglo-Indans or Mos lems, replacement was dif-ricult. The major task undertaken by India during its first five year plan (1949-54) was that of rehabilitating its railways. New locomotive and railway coach-building factories were coach pays 168 rupees' or established. Last year the state owned Chittaranjan Locomo tive . Works in West Bengal produced 173 locomotives and the Tata Engineering and Lo comotive Works (TELCO) supplied another 105 locomo tives. The gvernment-run In tegral Coach Factory in South India manufactured 448 rail way coaches in the same year. . With Indian railways now showing a healthy profit, they have become a vital source of development revenue. . The third five-year plan which be gan this month lists the rail ways' anticipated contribu tion at slightly more than $1 billion. A Railway Ministry spokes man attributed Indian Rail ways' - profit-making to "the fact that most of India's hear 430-million people depend on trains for. transportation. Daily, the Indian Railways carry about 4, million pas sengers. In a backward country like India where there still are villagers who have yet to see an automobile, railway travel is regarded as a fascinating experience ' by some. Scenes such as a bewildered rural resident throwing coins and flowers at a locomotive before making his 'maiden railway journey are not altogether uncommon.. By way of railway fare, the average Indian traveler does pretty well. A trip from New Delhi to Calcutta (a distance of 900 miles) - costs a third class passenger only 27 rupees ($5.67). A first-class traveler who has an air conditioned arjoui so. - . . 7 The usually crowded Indian trains are made up of an epic array of . coaches . marked -first class."' "second class, "third c 1 a s s,-".' "servant's class," and even a special class for animals. A railway official . admitted that road . transport; chief competitor of. railways in bet ter developed countries abroad, was poor in India. India has only 103,000 miles of black-topped roads, 52,000 buses and 91,000 cargo trucks. Indian railways can be agonizingly slow. The 900 mile trip from New Delhi to Calcutta on . a . "crack" mail train 'may take 35 hours and probably longer due to de lays -' -' While such lengthy jour neys . are not bad for first class passengers in the air conditioned . coaches, third class passengers are not so luck y compartments are like, mobile ovens during the scorching summer. ' A portion of the train de lays are caused' by. school boys and others who pull the emergency stop cord , discouraging regularity. try BASIL in TOMATO SOUP New flavor Idea for an old fa vorite!
