refused to divulge further details of its "streamlined caterpillar train which may revolutionize tha modern streamliner. The secret of the speedy 16-car train got out Friday when it struck a car at a grade crossing. Powered by a 1,000 horsepower Diesel locomotive, it had aroused the curiosity of residents along a 20-mile stretch of the Delaware, Lackawanna Western Railroad as it flashed by on trial runs. At first it was enclosed in a heavy canvas "glove" and resi dents dubbed it the mystery train, or the train of the future. Ten days ago, its builders took off the wraps.

But it flashed by so fast residents never got a good look at it until the accident forced it to stop. The train, built for Spain, is lower slung than conventional American trains and has only two wheels on each coach. The wheels, located in the rear of the coach, are built into the car itself. The front of the coach rests on the car ahead, creating a caterpillar effect when the train is in motion. Witnesses said it appeared to be constructed at a great saving of material.

They said it was made of lightweight, steel-gray metal. The windows in the coaches are circular. Deaths Last Night (By Tha Associated Prcu) TARENTUM. Pa.

COMING WEATHER Visits Home Here on Leave 'The Berlin airlift has done more to increase American prestige in Germany than any other combination of events since the end of the war, according to Capt. William Snyder, Racine Air Force pilot, home on leave. "The German people are honestly appreciative of our efforts in the Berlin airlift mid realize the expense and effort we have been ex pending to keep it going," Snyder said.

4,000 Flying Hours. Capt. Snyder, who is 28 years old, has more fhan 4,000 hours of flying time, most of which, has been in the four-engine C-54. In the six-months tour he just completed in Germany, Capt. Snyder made 118 trips from Rhein-Mam air field at Frankfort into Berlin.

The captain estimated that his ship has carried into Berlin 1,105 tons of flour, dehydrated cabbage and potatoes, meats, cheese, chocolate and coal. The ship makes two trips a day. Actual flying time is less than two hours one way, but loading and traffic problems sometimes result in an 18-hour day for the pilot. Operates 7 Days a Week. The lift operates seven days a week, 24 hours a day, Capt.

Snyder said. Only infrequently are the fields closed because of absolute zero-zero weather. Virtually every modern navigational aid is being used on the run. Ground Control Approach landings are made every time regardless of weather to increase proficiency Capt Snyder's last landing in Berlin was made with a 50 foot ceiling and less than a quarter mile of visibility. Reports of Russian pursuit ships making passes at the cargo planes were not taken too seriously by Cupt.

Snyder. "I've never seen a pursuit pilot yet who could resist making a pass at a lumbering cargo ship in the air," he said. "Our own pea-shooter boys do the same thing. It's fun." One of Original ElkaU. Capt.

Snyder is one of the original Racine Elkats who became avilation cadets a few weeks after Pearl Harbor through sponsorship of the Racine Elks Lodge T52. With no previous flying time to his credit before enlistment, Snyder received his commission and wings on Oct. 9, 1942. In a few weeks he was flying four engine ships for the old Ferry Command and later was transferred to the Air Transport Command. He gained several hundred hours flying time over the "Hump" in India during the war with ATC and now considers the Berlin airlift operation to be merely routine.

He was married in December, 1946, and has a 2-year-old son. At the end of his present 21-day leave he will return to his home base at Middletown, with his family as an instructor-pilot. PERSONAL REPORT of Aid. Christ Flatten (9th), chairman of a special City Council committee to investigate pavement, was referred back to his committee after a sharp debate Friday night. Flatten said in his report that street defects were due to poor sand.

Aid. Fred Heimes (6th) pointed out that the report was not signed by any other committee member, and Aid. Al Reid said that any scaling of newly-paved streets was on state projects, not city projects. Aid. Ray Flansburg (12th) exhibited tests made of sand, but declared that not enough tests had been made by the city.

The Council decided to send Flat-ten's personal report back to the committee for further investiga tion.

Wendt asked the Council to purchase the land to insure a wider, more beautiful entrance to the zoo.

Aid. Ray Flansburg said the mayor was trying to split the parks committee, and the aldermen decided to refer the matter to commitee for further study.

Mayor Wendt said the city's part of the bargain, in conveying i the land at the McMynn building to Horlick had the approval of the University of Wisconsin officials, the Department of Public Works and the Fire Department, and the entire transaction had Xeen approved through the plan commission.
