Safest Ever Built

The two locomotives will run 1000 miles with a 14-car train without stopping for fuel or water. A trunk line alarm system, “deadman control,” automatic train stop and control—all run by telegraphic impulses from a main switchboard, make this giant 450-ton locomotive the safest and most easily operated railroad locomotive ever built. In addition to all these elaborate control systems, the engineer has a regular whistle signal system. from all parts of the train, There are two headlights. “One shines straight up, with a finger of strong light flashing a mile high in the sky against the clouds. Another flashes its beam five ‘miles straight ahead,

Needed in Defense

The problem is: regarded’ as ‘even

more acute from the point of view of national defense since the great-

est need: for auxiliary Navy vessels|

would come in the .defense, of the American coastline. Vessels in foreign trade ‘might be thousands of

miles away when they were needed. |

The. number: of domestic: vessels facing obsolescence is more than double those in the same condition in . foreign trade. The recent- economic survey of the Merchant Marine’ made by the' Maritime -Com-
