SUBWAYS How's th1s for an unusual item -- Dallas'? Good Evening Everybody -- I'm back in London and I'm wondering how many of us think of Kew York as the great subway city, possibly even the birthplace or the subwayl? Dr. Melville Grosvenor of the National Geographic has Just been telling me that Washington, D.C. may soon get a full scale subway system. And that other cities that are plaMlng subways include San Francisco, Montreal, Brussels, Prague, Ven1ce, Rio de Janeiro, Melbourne, Australia, Rotterdam and several more. Also that T1flis, the capital or the Soviet Republic~ or Georgia, opened a subway in Nineteen Sixty-Six. Milan, Italy, In sixty-four, Lisbon Portugul 1n Nineteen Sixty and even Haifa, the Israeli seaport , Just up thellne from Jofa, has had one stnce Nineteen Fifty-Nine. But the g ran d . mother or all subways is the one (here) 1 Lo d "underground " that has been runnlng since Eighteen n n on _ · SUBWAYS-- Sixty Three, ror more than a hundred years. Gladstone was the Prime Minister at the time and Gladstone presided at the opening of the Lendon "Tubes " or course Paris , Moscow and a number of other cities have the■; but, I was surprised to hear that many many 110re capltals are getting ready to build subways. Now the rl18h hour 1n Tokyo oh, that's ao•thing. Hundreds of men are employed 1n Tokyo to push you and Ja■ you into the care. And now, solong (.from London) as I head for the Tubes . BRI'rAIN Thank you Lowell. Britain's wage-price freeze -- today became law. · ~ trlngentar-' Royal assent off1clally launching -- the mostl•t111■u adster1ty program in British peace-time history.
