Rate proposal at second hurdle P. 9
The Senate Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee is scheduled to give its verdict this week on a rate-freedom measure recommended by its Surface Transportation Subcommittee-but opposed by the ICC and highway and waterway interests.
New Horizons for Tomorrow's Commuter?
Railroad commuter operations are a paradox: the more business booms at rush hour, the more money the railroad loses. High costs, expensive equipment, idle hours-all take their toll. For an inside look at what the problems really are, Railway Age asked officers of three large roads to write captions for a picture story on their operations. Their comments are sharp and to the point. One way out of the commuter problem was proposed last week by Stanley Berge, professor of transportation at Northwestern University. His stimulating suggestions will stir new thinking by everyone concerned with the future of American railroading.

New horizons for commuter service p.20
Intercity dialing saves money p.21
A highlight of the recent convention of the AAR Communications Section was a discussion of just how such dialing cuts costs. Four panel speakers described the workings of the dialing setups on their railroads.
The fight for public opinion p.26
Readers have praised and panned the Railway Age articles comparing railroad and truck advertising. Proposals for change always involve disagreement. But time is short. Railroads, with the tide of public acceptance now running their way, must not slacken the fight.
New setup gives ticket data fast p.28
Accounting operations have been speeded and costs have been cut by a new ticketing idea on the New York Central's West Shore line. The road is studying possible extension of the plan to other points on its system.
