Redstone Railroad Has Carried One Passenger Huntsville, Ala.-HJPD-There is a railroad that has carried only one passenger in its near ly 19 years of existence and officials are glad he didn't come back for a second ride. The railroad, one of the slowest lines in the nation, is at Redstone Arsenal here, where a major effort is under way to. develop a space ve hicle. The space vehicle is the prime project of the National Aeronauctics and Space Ad ministration's Marshall Space Flight Center which shares th Arsenal with the Army Ordnance Missile Command. The Army's Redstone Rail road, a line that even stops for auto traffic, includes five diesel electric locomotives, 36 boxcars, 23 coal cars, two flat cars, one tank car and a motor car for railway maintenance crews. 82 Miles The railroad operates over 82 miles of track, but logged more 90,000 miles last year NOW THRU SATURDAY TWO TOP HITS!! GO-HOUND m fW 0MSeoi coi.ormdfj.uw jfLrZ, Madrid Store Owners Returning To Barter System Madrid -OIPD To heck with money, a merchant "said the other day. This is the thought of an increasing number of people in Spain, a land where money is scarce. Something else is taking its place. Something not really new, in fact old as time. Its name is barter. As the old joke goes, rich or poor, its nice fo have money. But in a land which suf fers from the acute lack of this convenience, the idea of barter is again raising its use ful head. Tailored Shirts Now the pharmacist down the street has decided to deal with the shirt maker up the street. In return for medi cines and prescriptions filled, he will have hand tailored shirts. An advertising agency gets paid for its ads with a tele vision set, a stove, a Persian rug, or a dozen pairs of stock ings for one of the girls in the office. More than 300 merchants along Serrano, one of Madrid's main shopping streets, have decided to work out a barter arrangement among them selves. The barter deal will be among the stores and not for the general public. . Now one salesgirl from a clothing store, for example, will be able to outfit herself, to a certain extent at the rest of the stores belonging to the barter association. Whether it is slips or salami, the merchants say they will be able to live better now without an increase in the amount in their pay en velopes. Barter coupons, the mer chants say, will be issued and all in all, the membership in the entire country will num ber about 4,000. The merchants are so en thusiastic about the idea, they believe their barter system will spread to merchants all over Europe, and then even tually to the public. Never Died The barter system in Spain never really died out, just be came more obscure from lack of practice as people preferred to exchange money rather than goods. In the Spanish town of Seo de Urgel, which sits on the border between Spain and Andorra, the bishop still re- ceives part of his salary , in barter. The arrangement dates back to a treaty made in 1278 when Andorra was run by two chiefs of state, one, the head of Prance and the other the bishop of Seo de Urgel. The salary of the two chiefs is paid by the citizens of An dorra and amounts to 960 francs, the same salary paid in 1278. The French chief-of-state at that time was not a very trusting soul and de- hauline 380.000 tons nf carirn. Cargo has ranged from poison gas to 500 pound bombs to one passenger. At an instnllntinn uhlth daily devles into such things as supersonic, hypersonic and orbital SDeed. the trains am limited to 25 miles-an hour on straight stretches and 10 miles per hour on curves, of which there Is an abunriitnre The lone passenger felt one rme on tne railroad was enouffh and never puma Vtanlr for a second. He was a hobo who fell asleep in a freight car and was shuttled into the heavily euarded mllitarv In. stallation. An official said the non-paying fare "was scared to death" as military nnllro swooped down to hustle him away.. The railroad has its exneri. mental side and recently was used to determine if a missile could stand handling such as could be expected In railway movements. Lnnripri nnnl ran were banged against the flat car on which the missile was tied at sneeda tin In 15 miles an hour. The test proved the missile could stand travel by rail. The trains. otwaleH in two snitts by a total of 29 person nel, stop at all paved crossings and wait for any one of the arsenal's 33,000 registered au tomobiles to pass. Started In 1942 The Army began operating the railroad in 1942 when this arsenal was a minor mili tary Installation engaged in the manufacture of bullets and poison gas. long before a missle ever took shape in Vf country. The trains do not use fire men and there isn't a caboose on the line. Commercial rail roads bring shipments to two yards, where distribution of in-bound cars Is made to the various departments by the Redstone Railroad. The line also hauls coal from barges which dock on the Tennessee River which borders the arsenal.

Those who wish may make a memorial contribution to the Cancer Fund. manded his money in gold francs a year in advance. The wise old bishop, how ever, was a bit craftier.. He said he would take half of his pay in money and the rest in barter, consisting of three hams, six chickens and 12 huge wheels ,of cheese. Today the French franc has been devaluated and the French chief - of - state, now President Charles de Gaulle, doesn't get 960 francs, but only about enough for a cof fee or two.
