He chose Douglas' DC-8 over Boeing's 707 because he feels that it has more room for improvement, the same big stretch that permitted Douglas to beef up its DC-4 into the DC-6 and DC-7.

The shorter haul would cut car mileage by half, turn-around time by at least 25%; thus help the railroads step up their deliveries from last week's 837,000 barrels daily to better than a million...
