SECOND DECLINE
The decline in operating rev- enue to $704,900.000 was the sec- ond in a row. It was $753,200,000 in 1957, a drop from the all-time peak of $774,800,000 in 1956.
Operating expenses moved down to $700,000,000 from the all- time high 1957 figure of $734,500,- 000.

Locomotive Firer To Get Higher Wages

Thus, the CNR took the step on! i

Decision to implement the terms of a federal conciliation board report was conveyed ‘Tues- day to union leaders by CNR pres- Ment Donald Gordon.

Saucer-Shaped Aircraft Is Seen As Revolutionary

But army officials said they could not tell details about the craft except behind closed doors.
Other sources said the craft is of a ‘‘flying-saucer” design that could revolutionize military re- connaissance.
AVRO PROJECT
Brig.Gen. Frank H. Britton, ‘director of development for army research, said the new craft is the result of a joint army - air force program carried ou’ by Avro Aircraft Limited of Canada.
Like other radically - designed craft now being studied by the military services, the Avro veh- icle will make use of what is known as the ground cushiom phenomena, Britton said.
This involves release of air under extremely high pressure from jets around the: side or under the vehicle—thus boosting the craft off the ground on an air cushion.

The witnesses emphasized that most of the various projects still are in the research stage and that it will be some time before they will be ready for military use.
