The study was made to assist in plan-ning the full use of modern shipping technol-ogy, specifically unitization in the form of con-tainerization and barge-carrying vessels. Adoption of these concepts would permit in-ternational shipments to be sent from an in-land consignor to a foreign inland consignee over an all-water route, utilizing navigable in-land waterways, with a minimum of cargo handling, the report pointed out. The report was developed in two sections. Section I contains a general view of inland waterway transportation with reference to prospective extension of marine commerce. The report notes that a resurgence in water-borne traffic has doubled the waterborne share of domestic freight traffic over the last 20 years and commercial capacity on inland water-ways is expanding rapidly in response to do-mestic opportunity. The report includes reviews of technologi-cal developments in inland commerce, social and economic changes affecting inland waterway commerce, development of river ports, types of river ports, types of carrier operations on the waterways, and rates for carriage of car-goes and rate factor advantages by different modes of transport. Section II presents more detailed, quantita-tive information, with tables and maps on fa-cilities and commerce by individual ports. The report, "A Study of River Ports and Terminals," is available as PB No. 183-322, from the Federal Clearinghouse for Scientific and Technical Information, Springfield, Va. 22151, at a cost of $3.00 per copy.

Cella to new positions of responsibility have been announced by Borg-Warner Mechanical Seals, Division of Borg-Warner Corporation, Los Angeles. Calif. Mr. Tracy, general manager of the Division since its formation in 1958, moves to the com-pany's central group to serve in a staff advis-ory capacity for both domestic and interna-tional operations.
