RR Brotherhood Hits Failing Rail Services Cleveland The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen believes the nation's railroads are slipping from their competi- tive position through failure to offer alert and bright service. The Brotherhood, largest operating railroad union in the nation, 'recently surveyed its membership on the grogram. W. P. Kennedy, RT president, announced the result of the survey, to be published today in the union's weekly newspaper, The Trainmen News.

Kennedy said most of the membership agreed the carriers were "not doing enough to hold on- to the business they have, let alone recapture traffic lost to competing forms of transportation." Almost all persons surveyed complained the railroads were holding freight cars to make up long trains, thus driving business to trucks which move merchandise promptly upon receiving it. What's more, the survey indicated, further delays result because of inadequate yard facilities, slow switching operations and maintenance service cuts which result in breakdowns on the road. York Civic Music committee has given "full endorsement" to development of an outdoor theater, possibly in Farquhar park. Committee members at a recent meeting said such a theater plight be situated in a natural dell near Kiwanis lake in Farquhar park. The could be used for programs of choral music and light opera and would "bring to the people a wider program of cultural activities," it was noted.

Chauncey Bond, committee vice chairman, explained last night that the idea has been discussed for some time by local recreation officials as a measure to abate juvenile delinquency. Plans are in the preliminary stage, and a sponsor will to be found, Bond added. The committee, headed by Mrs. Evelyn Becker, issued its annual spring music calendar.
