This war-time conversion of one tion's biggest industries ; it was bound to have sreat civilian repercussions. It did. By the middle of 1942 train travel n America was an ordeal, the sub- of countless government edicts E appeals. Civilians, wives and children of cervicemen, businessmen, all seemed to find reasons for an un- precedented increase in travel. It then, that by Oc- tober of 1942 trains earmarked “for troops in transit only” were being assembled in every station. ven so train traveling was not cxactly a joy ride—for servicemen and train crews. The average jour- y for a troop train for the entire tion during this past year, from starting point to destination, re- quired 28 hours of travel. This is bad enough for the sol- diers, but think of the crews. gets a breathing spel) except for neces- sary repairs, Because of labor shortages there are virtually no crew replacements.

"It has selected a 7-man sub-commit- tee to uphold its recommendations at a meeting with major league offi- cial or before then. Chairman Tom Richardson, Eas ern League president, said the com- mittee had recommended to increase the player draft price maximum of $7,500.

A—| | 4 | THE DAILY ALASKA FJVlPIRl:——JUNEAU ALASKA FIGHTING ROOM ONLY' Troop Train Is Last Word in Effwtency An average troop train is made| up of Pullmans, tourist sleepers, | troop slecpers and a troop kitchen | car. The last two are innovations | of this global war. The tourist sleeper is not a con- | verted box car, despite popular be- lief, but is one of 1,200 cars spe- | cially built by the government with an eye to post-war conversion by | the railroads into baggage and ex- press carriers. Each car has 30| berths, 15 at each side. It may not equal the de luxe Super-Chief, | but it is far superior to overnight | coach traveling. Even a Shower Bath The kitchen car is a remarkable outgrowth of the war. It has a regulation Army coal range with| capacity of 250 meals at one time. | It also boasts a shower bath for the cook and his KPs, who are re- quired to use it before preparing each meal! These cars, too, were constructed for post-war conver- sion into baggage carriers. Though serving meals to the troops is quite a feat, it has ac- tually been perfected to the point of individual service. This was made possible by a system of serv- |ing, whereby paper cups, psper‘ plates and miniature paper ‘sil- verware” are distributed first. Then come the KPs with the “grub” in huge 20-gallon pots just off the stove, followed by dessert and coffee. An average, well-pre- pared and good-tasting meal, for| example, includes boiled hambur- | ger or beef stew, stewed tomatoes, eduled for Chicago in June | revis- | '4 sticed canned peaches, coffee.
