CONTENTS
Rules talks face new delay P. 9
All signs last week pointed to a minimum six-week delay in the opening of management-union talks on work rules. The operating brotherhoods were expected to reject the carriers' proposal for beginning meetings on Aug. 2.
Democrats promise rail aid p.10
The party's 1960 platform, noting that "railroads are in dis- tress," calls for federal aid to commuters; more freedom from regulation; and a national policy designed to "coordinate and modernize" transportation facilities in general.
Cover Story-'Pre-prototype' missile car is ready p.16
The unit, designed and built by ACF, resembles a hybrid between a flat car and a tank car. It has been subjected to a series of road and impact tests. An actual prototype car is expected to be built later this year.
Cover Story-Chicago tests high-speed transit trucks p.20
The city's Transit Authority will begin operating four-car test trains this fall. One train will be equipped with four special high-speed trucks, each of different design. The cars have control cabs at both ends and can be operated as signal cars.
Cover Story-New 'Q' freighthouse to cut LCL handling time p.24
The $1,750,000 facility, at North Kansas City, is designed to expedite transfer of merchandise between railroad cars and highway trailers. Among its features are unbroken roof lines in the warehouse, and prestressed, precast concrete floor slabs in the office building.
Rules-not workers-are target p.31
Charges that the railroads have "slandered" their employees during the work rules dispute aren't supported by the record. Here's what management has actually said about the railroad work force.
The Action Page-Conserve 'political capital' p.50
Railroads have a reservoir of good-will on deposit with governmental authorities. This political capital, however, is limited. It should be used with discrimination-in behalf of projects likely to provide a financial return to railroads.
