Show TRACTORS STILL GO TO RUSSIA Only partially successful in its effort to keep hard-to-get track-type track-type tractors at home where they are badly needed in the construction, construc-tion, lumbering, housing, mining and agricultural industries, Caterpillar Cater-pillar Tractor Co., Peoria, Ilinois, has shipped 424 of these scarce machines to the Russian states of Byelorusia and the Ukraine. An industry protest to CPA opposing their orders for UNNRA resulted in a 50 per cent reduction in original orig-inal quotas, but it is expected that CPA orders will still draw off more than 7.000 track-type tractors trac-tors from domestic supply lines. |
