(Continued from Page 14) of shipping will lead to new developments which may further improve or simplify present methods.

The committee also commended the action of the mechanical division of the Association of American Railroatls for recommending that all railroads investigate and seriously consider the advantages of the all purpose "plug-door" type of boxcar. J. C. O'Malley, chairman of NRLDA's committee, stated that "the plug-door car is suitable for shipping units of lumber and, since it is a dual purpose car, it certainly should enable the railroads to fill the growing demand for wide-door boxcars without neglecting the needs of the single-door car users."

After reviewing the outstanding materials handling shor'r' at the 1955 Exposition, the committee initiated plans for a program at the Philadelphia Exposition that will present new features of timely interest and benefit to all dealers, regardless of size.

Committee members present at the meeting, in addition to Chairman O'Malley, were Stuart S. Caves, Jr., Iloneoye Falls, N. Y.; John E. Moeling, Chicago; Wayne F. Mullin, Los Angeles, and V. Joseph'Wardein, Alton, I1l. Also present were Paul R. Ely, NRLDA's president; H. R. Northup, executive vice-president, and Robert B. Brown, materials handling director.

The committee will meet again at the time of NRLDA's spring meeting in Washington this month.
