Nearly ready for announcement is President Roosevelt's much-talked-of Victory Program, expected to raise defense expenditures to more than $100,000,000,000 by late 1943. This huge load cannot be handled by the U.S. without the topmost efficiency in procurement, plant conversion, subcontracting, control of raw materials. If the load is dumped on to the present defense machinery-without first clarifying authority, junking the weak parts, eliminating duplications-it is possible the machinery may break down completely...
Keeping constant tabs, if necessary, on each locomotive and its load, Elwood's central control room will be able to do the right thing immediately in emergencies. The system saves money by eliminating block signals, with their miles of underground wire. A check on the system itself is provided by a white light in each cab, blinking every five seconds while the FM set is working, turning red if it goes haywire. The area of the Elwood plant is well within the range of perfect FM reception...

If the maximum load of 40 passengers pays $525 each, a one-way trip will bring in $21,000, actually $600 less than Pan Am gets for toting just mail on two of its three weeklyflights (mail pay for the third flight: $13,800).

These giants, designed for naval patrol, can travel 5,200 miles-possibly more-on a single load of gas. They can cruise at 170 m.p.h. on 45% of the power of their four Pratt & Whitney 1,200-h.p. engines...
