KILGALLEM United Press International NEW YORK (UPD-The head of the nation's largest railroad pointed out today that Soviet Rus sia is building up its railroad sys tem at a time when America's railroad industry .is on the decline Church Loyalty Meal Termed Successful CHILOQUIN The loyalty din nor given for members and friends of the Chiloquin Methodist Church last week was an outstand ing success, the Rev. David Schneider announced this week. The dinner was well attended and accomplished a twin goal of fellowship and finance. When the members who were unable to at tend are heard from the budget will be completely underwritten. The Rev. Dallas McNeil, Klam ath Falls, was guest speaker; Joe Jackson, lay leader, acted as em cee; budget needs were told by Mrs. Gerald Wolff, and entertain ment was given by Mr. and Mrs. Ramon Zamudio, who played gui tars and sang Mexican songs, and by Mrs. John Mannering, soprano soloist. Members of the Womens Society of Christian Service prepared the i dinner and Rainbow Girls served. It is expected that the dinner will become an annual affair. 1 and in a precarious position. James M. Symes, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, made this chilling statement in an ex clusive interview with United Press International. In the event of a national emer gency this situation obviously would be of vital importance, he said. Symes. a veteran of 42 years in the railroad industry and recog nized as one of the country's most able transportation executives. -aid Russia is "really going to town" in expanding its railroad network and the tonnage handled over it, "For example," Symes declared, "Russia in 1940 had 66.000 miles of railroad but by 1956 it had in creased to 75.000 miles. "On the other hand, the United States in 1940 had 234.000 miles and yet in 1956 this had fallen off to 220.000 miles of railroad. "This contrast is illuminating and significant. "If our railroad industry is in a precarious position, and it is, it follows that the country is, too because the railroads are an absolute necessity to our future growing economy and defense pro tection.

Thcro is no extra charge for this service. Thank you. Telephone TU 4-81 1 1 Other disconcerting facts brought out by Symes were: .Russia doubled track mileage between 1945 and 1950. The U.S. has 40,000 fewer freight cars than ten years ago. The U.S. passenger fleet has shrunk by 7,000 cars. Russia has electrified 3,326 miles of line since 1928, will al most triple it to 8.388 by I960. Average Russian carloadings per day have been stepped up from 24,007 in 1928 to 169.400 in 1955. "While we have been shrinking our mileage, Russia has been ex panding theirs," said . Symes. "They are. not dumb. "Take 1945. In that year 88 per cent of the ton miles Itonnage multiplied by miles hauled) were Hauled by the railroads in Russia. And in 1955 it was 83!i per cent. "In 1945 in the United States it was 67 per cent of ton miles by rail. In 1955 the figure was only 49 per cent." Emphasizing 1he importance of our railroads in the national de fense picture, Symes pointed out that in World War II the railroads hauled 90 per cent of the military material and 97 per cent of the military personnel movements. This remarkable achievement, he said, resulted in an enormous saving in manpower and war materials. For the purpose of illustration, i Symes took as an "example the! moving of 100.000 tons ot freight from New York to San Francisco. If done by rail." said Symes. "it can be done with 832,000 gal lons of fuel oil. If it moves by highway it takes four times that amount. If it moves by waterway through the Panama Canal it takes five times that amount. And if it moves by air it takes 25 times that amount in gallons of oil. 'I'm sure that if we had to call on the railroads to move men and material in World War II wed have to do it again in the event of a similar national emergency. "Moving "such traffic by rail roads would mean a tremendous saving in manpower and in the transportation of essential war ma terial. "For the railroads to move that 100,000 tons of material across the nation from New York to San Francisco, it would take 3,220 man days. If moved by highway 13'4 times that amount.' If moved by water 34 times and if moved by air 11V4 ' times as long in man days. . "My contention is that the two most essential things in war time are manpower and fuel. It seems 'to me this is a situation which they (the government) should do something about so we could ban die the job expeditiously and eco nomically in the next war, u one comes," Svmes said that never in hit 42-year association with railroads has he seen the ouuook ior me American railroad industry as alarming as it is now. : A number of Eastern lines havt been operating at little or no prof it despite lay-offs of personnel in efforts to economize. On the Penn sylvania employment has been re duced by more than n.uuo. ine situation in the South and West is not as bad although he says "the makings of it are there." The real railroad problem, ac cording to Symes, can be stated in a dozen ways but basically "the trouble begins by govern ment federal, state and local government treating the rail road industry as if it were still the wealthy monopoly it was gen erations ago."
