Notwithstanding these terminations, unfilled orders on hand at June 17, 1945 represented by war production contracts and sub-con¬ tracts, amounted to more than $20,000,000. This is-the largest back¬ log to be reported in the history of the company. The company continues to have available for financing its War production contracts the Regulation V-Loan concluded in January 1945. which, in effect, provides a line of credit for such purposes of up to $4,000,000 against which the borrowings as of June 17, 1945 amounted to $600,000."

This proposal follows 2Vz years of futile negotiations for sale between the Pullman interests and the railroads since the entry of the Court's decree in the Government's anti-trust suit directing Pullman Inc. to separate its sleeping car business from its manufacturing business. In its proposal; this business group commits itself to a vast expan¬ sion of the railway sleeping car service which will enable the railroads to meet the competitive challenge of other forms of transportation, notably air transport, and to develop the hitherto untouched travel market composed of persons of modest means.
