DJ somewhat worn, soiled, and chipped at spine. This is a study by the National Bureau of Economic Research. Preface. Foreword by G. Warren Nutter.

This study of Soviet freight transportation is a rather thorough revision of an earlier working memorandum which was circulated for comment and criticism. The original analysis was based upon extensive background research undertaken by George Novak with the Soviet sources, and upon the nearly completed investigation by Holland Hunter from which his Soviet Transportation Policy was developed. Novak developed the statistical series upon which much of the analysis rests he prepared special analyses of railroad and maritime reporting and statistical methods, and brought together considerable qualitative evidence bearing upon the character of Soviet transport operations. Dr. Williams attended Columbia University where he received his B.S. in 1938, his M.S. in 1939 and his Ph.D. in 1951. He embarked on a successful career, first as an economist on the National Resources Planning Board, 1940-42; WPB, 1942-44; Chief of Transportation Division, U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey, 1944-45; and fiscal analyst U.S. Bureau of Budget, 1945-46. Williams then started as an educator, first as lecturer in transportation at the Graduate School of Business at Columbia University, 1947-52; an associate professor, 1952-58; and professor of transportation, 1954 until his retirement in 1986. While at Columbia University, he also served as Vice Dean, 1977-79. In addition, Williams was a consultant for ODM, 1951-60; served as director transportation study for the Department of Commerce, 1959-60; served on the Board of Directors, ACF Industries, Inc., in NY, 1960-84; member of NY-NJ Metropolitan Rapid Transit Commission, 1955-58; member of task force President's Advisory Commission Transportation Policy and Organization, 1954-55; member of task force on regulatory agencies First Hoover Commission, 1948; trustee TAA Research Fund, 1962-65; board member for visitors U.S. Army Transportation School, 1963-66. He was the recipient of the Medal for Freedom.
