Most of the new locomotives will be big 2,500 horse-power units, but some will range up to 5,000 horsepower. "Purchase of these powerful new locomotives is in line with the steady trend toward heavier loadings and faster train speeds," Russell said. The 133 new locomotives to be acquired in 1964 are in addition to 40 new units purchased this year at a cost of almost $9 million, Russell reported.

The machine, known as Aquamatic K-Thermia, is produced by Gorman-Rupp Industries, Inc. in Bellville, Ohio. The equipment at St. Jude is dedicated to the memory of Master Richard Wagner and was partially paid for by contributions from his family and friends in lieu of flowers at Richard's death.

"Many of the cars we will receive next year," Russell said, "have been specially designed and equipped to handle certain types of commodities. We've equipped them with the most modern devices to fit them for the tasks they'll perform." As an example he cited 100 new Hy-Cube Hydra Cushion cars, which will be used to haul automobile part sfrom the midwest to California auto assembly plants. Special Devices "These cars, twice as long and two feet higher than a normal car, are equipped with special loading devices and have two 20-foot door openings on each side to permit rapid loading and unloading." Russell said. "They were designed in cooperation MORE ABOUT ...Outlook (Continued from Page 1) The committee has completed a draft charter and is working on a final draft to be published next month. The council then plans to study the final draft and hold public hearings on it. Another matter which might well come up for a vote — again, as early as the April election — is the city hall bond issue which was defeated by a tiny margin in October. Several citizen organizations have requested the bond issue be submitted as soon as possible. Finally, in the matter of elections, Mayor Rex Coons, finishing up his second term on the council, and Vice-Mayor Chuck Chandler, completing his first term, are both up for re-election.

Suitable for both pediatric and adult use, it has been proven highly effective in raising or lowering body temperatures to abnormal degrees. It is used to control dangerously high temperatures of post-operative, infections or traumatic origin and to produce abnormally low temperatures involved in neurological, cardiac, cardio-vascular and Thoracic surgery. Prior to the development of this new type hypothermia machine, temperatures were lowered through the use of ice packs or ice water.

ORE ABOUT ...Sheraton (Continued from Page 1) The area surrounding the park is a special zone in which no structure can be built without individual city council approval. Thus the developers of the Anaheim Sheraton — local business men who have arranged with the Sheraton Corp. manage the hotel — must meet the city council approval of details of their plans. Speaking for the developers, Anton L. Freeman, head of Adams Associates, the firm providing the project with construction design and coordination, stressed his group's willingness to cooperate with Discover. "We have had three meetings with Disneyland officials," he said, "and we have been working on plans to effect some type planting or screening in Disneyland to obscure maximum exposure." The exposure, however, is extensive. Ettinger estimated 25-65 percent of key areas in the park will have views of the lake as it is as now planned. Freeman admitted some of this cannot be eliminated. Some kind of resolution is being to have to made, he said. Reorientation of the building did not solve the problem, and they well be offensive to some airport to a welcome luncheon in Albuquerque.

Cost of their auditorium was $1.6 million, for 5,000 capacity seating and only 10,000 sq. ft. exhibit space which is in fact the auditorium lobby. (Las Vegas has 90,000 sq. ft. and planning to double). Of interest to the Anaheim visitors: the auditorium is located 3½ miles from its companion convention facility, Tingley Hall; and eight city blocks from the nearest motels. Of construction interest, the Hall's giant concrete dome was poured on top of a hill and the earth excavated from underneath. Again the council has driven home the need for adequate storage space and meeting rooms. From the Chamber of Commerce and the Visitors and Convention Bureau came their Industrial Development function, four people who have been working for three years just making a survey and collecting data before actually going out into the field for industry. It was pointed out Anaheim was way ahead with sophistigated data already compiled. In Portland the $8 million Portland facility was found highly functional and one of the best constructed the council had found — on a par with the impressive Las Vegas Convention Hall. The difference between the two: Memorial Coliseum is more on the cold sports arena type, while Las Vegas is designed on the warmer convention style. Each serves equally as well its own particular geographic location and local temperament, and each have excellent facilities for conventions. On the complaint of inadequate storage space heard manager, Don Jewell capped the problem with, "Try to provide enough, but not matter how much is allowed there will never be ample." Jewell was hired before the Coliseum was constructed and served as consultant in the... The exposure, however, is extensive. Ettinger estimated 25 percent of key areas in the park will have views of the lake as it is as now planned. Freeman admitted some of this cannot be eliminated.

The final decision may well up being in the hands of city council," Freeman concluded.
