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. "

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."
