Railroads Plan Postwar 'Surprise' For Competitors Chicago (U.P)-The nation's railroads intend to maintain their present high level of passenger travel in the postwar period against keen competition the airlines and highway transportation agencies, according to a statement from the Railway Age publication. Typical of many railroad officials' attitudes on postwar travel was this statement: "It will be a fight, but I enjoy fights and we are planning to give competition just as unpleasant surprise as possible through improvement or complete revision of railway passenger service." The overhauling program laid out by many railroads includes the putting of' new luxuriously appointed lightweight cars into service, thus replacing the present heavy outmoded equipment. Fare Cut in Program Cutting passenger fares to the minimum is another improvement planned by railroads, along with speeding up of schedules which will enable more frequent service.

The railroad executives are mapping plans for extensive advertising programs in the future to show to the railroads offer more travel the general public, why and how advantages than their competitors. Will Eliminate Delays pa passenger While railroad safety first officials and are consider reluctant to increase streamliner speeds more than 100 miles an hour, they believe travel can be shortened by eliminating unnecessary station delays. With railroad travel economy in mind, one railroad executive advocated "an immediate slice in coach rates to cents per mile, and a reduction in first-class rates to cents per mile." Another railroad official went still further when he said: "I make the radical but eminently sound statement that coach fares should be a flat 1 cent per mile." RITES TODAY-Lt. Walter V.
