Smc Wmlc Pniicl Report Another Drop in U.

S. Casualties WASHINGTON, UP) A drop in the nation's war casualty toll has been reported Friday by the armed forces, with the total now standing at The decrease, of -IS from last week's figure resulted Irom reductions in the number of missing and revisions in other ealcgoiios. Army casualties, i through Sept- 30, totaled The lalest navy figure amounts to 148,048. Sounds like a telephone number --and it's true that telephone traffic is heavy when a shipload of servicemen arrive from overseas. But, in this case, MAIN-3995 designates a railroad train.

All special troop trains which carry servicemen from Atlantic or Pacific ports to a redeployment (or separation) center are given a number by military authorities, and all numbers cany the MAIN prefix. These trains, operating day and night, require a great deal of available railroad equipment. On top of that, it is the job of Union Pacific, and other railroads, to further transport servicemen from the redeployment centers to their homes. There are still hundreds of thousands of men to be transported from East and West. Union Pacific, a transcontinental railroad, will be called upon to carry a large share of the load.

Civilian travel conditions are much improved and greater improvement is in sight. But if you still find it difficult to obtain transportation when required, you'll know there's a very important reason. We all want to get those boys home aa quickly as possible.
