Inquire now. SOUTHWESTERN BUSINESS COLLEGE 100 N. Penn, Rawed, New Meiico Phone 622-8080 ByCIELLONON Record Staff Writer Greyhound Corp. Board Chairman Gerald Trautman said his company probably would have built its corporate headquarters in Roswell rather than Phoenix if it had known in advance the cooperation it would receive in New Mexico. Speaking Thursday at a dedication of the new Citycruiscr facilities at the Roswell Industrial Air Center, Trautman said, "In retrospect, we should have put the corporate headquarters here instead of Arizona because the cooperation of your people greatly surpasses that of some of the politicians in Arizona." Later.

Trautman told the Daily Record he was talking about the lack of cooperation his corporation has encountered from Arizona officials, but said "I don't want to go in to specifics because we still have to live with the people in Arizona." Introducing Trautman at the ceremony was Earl Cummings, president ofTMC. The facility dedicated Thursday, which marks the introduction of its small, heavy-duty transit bus on the market, also marks the second Transportation Manufacturing Corp. (TMC) dedication since the company came to Roswell in 1975. Once employing 145 people. TMC now employs 535 persons, nearly all of them from Roswell.

The Greyhound bus-building subsidiary expects to increase that payroll to 638 persons as soon as it begins to produce two Citycruisers daily, Trautman said. In dollars, he added, that means TMC's annual payroll has grown from EMOTIONS: What borrow Father's some $1.3 million in 1975 to about $5 million today. The company now occupies 368.000 square feet of space, up from 229,000 square feet in 1975. and has produced 1.634 intercity buses here since its inception. Thursday's dedication is not a slopping point, Trautman said.

"I have no doubt that on another words of praise for Roswell and its inhabitants. "Yours is a story of courage and grit." he said. "When faced with the bleak economic prospect of the withdrawal of the military installations here, you didn't whine and you didn't moan and you didn't go looking for handouts. Roswell squared its shoulders and went out day in he future. I will be standing looking for business and industry to here talking about our success with pick up the slack.

"And once you found companies willing to establish here," Trautman continued, "you smoothed their way, removing obstacles and cutting through delays so that jobs, payroll funds and taxes were pumping into the economy as soon as possible. The TMC-Roswell combination, he Citycruiser while dedicating a new wing or an expaanded facility." he said. Trautman later told the Daily Record that he expects to sec that expansion "within the next two years." The Greyhound chairman had only added, represents "a partnership for progress." That cooperation. Trautman said, is why Greyhound "didn't have to ponder very long to decide where we would put the new assembly line for the Citycruiser." Fuel shortages and rising fuel prices have increased (he demand for the Citycruiser. a situation that Trautman said was "somewhat luck." The fuel-efficient, small bus now has orders backed up into 1980.

with more coming in on a regular basis. Greyhound saw some indication of the effect of the energy crisis on bus travel over the Memorial Day Weekend when sales increased by about 40 percent. Trautman said. "The most visible effect was people trying to get to Las Vegas out of Los Angeles." he added. "They just descended in droves.

We had to act the police out." Bus travel's growing popularity makes good fuel sense. Trautman said, because it is the most economical form of transportation, exceeding automobiles, planes and trains. Greyhound, of course, also has felt the pinch of added fuel costs, he admitted, with costs up about 25 percent in the past but Trautman said he does not exxpect his company to raise fares by more than about 2 percent in the near future. Greyhound uses about 65 million gallons of diesel fuel a year.

Rice, who is directr of communication disorders at the state hospital in Las Vegas. Her hearing impaired since childhood and completely deaf for the past 15 years, Mrs. Rice was one of the first handicapped persons in the U.S. to receive services, including college courses, under post World War II federal and state rehabilitation programs in her native Indiana and in New Mexico.

and training developments, we are far ahead in our services, resources, education and employment opportunities for our handicapped," she said. "We have made tremendous progress in changing attitudes. Barriers are coming down and doors are being opened to many more of us. We have an obligation and duty to share our knowledge, experience and rehabilitation plans with any and all who ask." Mrs. Rice, who was recently named by Gov.

Bruce King to the Committee on Concerns of the Handicapped, said that she had written to Sen. Domenici requesting him to consider introducing legislation that would establish a Handicapped Peace Corps. "Since the United Nations has designated 1981 as The Year of the Disabled, it seems most appropriate that legislative action be taken at the present time," she said. Rehabilitated persons, Mrs. Rice said, could serve as models for training the handicapped of other nations "and could provide the motivation needed to get them in their country's economic and social mainstream."
