21. President Albert LebrOun is looking for a strong man to handle tbe delicate preliminary situation resulting from the overthrow early today of Premier Joseph Paul-Bon-cour.

Several hundred men from New Brunswick and vicinity were employed on the project and many trucks of local contractors were used, not only in this city but in nearby communities. a Month The vast sum expended for electrification, it is reported, was in addition to the $12,000,000 a month which is the approximate cost for the routine operation and maintenance of the road thereby carrying wages into the homes of many villages, towns and cities.

The Pennsylvania Railroad In electrifying its lines is providing for the future, as, according to General Atterbury, in 1950, only seventeen years away, the metropolitan area around will extend to New Brunswick. It is forecast that the population of this city and vicinity will show a material Increase and a corresponding development in business. It is estimated the metropolitan area will be populated by .3000000 people. According to announcements made after the first test train be tween New York and Philadelphia under electric power which took nlace on January 13. the trip was made in eighty-two minutes.

The nresent operating time is two hours but this time will be reduced, it is reDorted. F. W. Hankins, chief of motive power of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and his staff were responsible for the carrying out of this gigantic enterprise. J.

B. Duer, electrical engineer, being in direct charge of the construction and electrical in stallation. Crew Just as Large The electrification of the system does not mean that a smaller train crew will be required than under the steam system, although rumors to the contrary have been circu lated. The electrification requires the same number of men to oper- atae as steam and very little train ing was needed to familiar! a steam locomotive engineer with the oDe ration of an electric Engine. All controls and signal devices are installed on board an electric locomotive in the same position that they would be on a steam en gine and also it is pointed mat an engineer's greatest need is knowledge of the road and signals.

The Pennsylvania electrification uses the A. C. system, which for so many years has been advocated and developed by the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company in many important installations. The locomotives were designed under the direction of Mr. Hankins, both Westinghouse and General Electric engineers collaborating in producing a composite design approved by the engineers of the Pennsylvania, and forty-two loco motives were assembled in the South Philadelphia plant of th Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company.

Their weights are 375,000 pounds compared with a steam locomotive and tender which is 480,000 pounds. The Pennsylvania Railroad now has under electric operation over 1,450 miles of tracks. The extreme density of train movements over the Pennsylvania's fpur and six track main line between New York and Philadelphia gives this stretch of railroad the distinction of carrying the heaviest passenger traffic in the i world.
