What was the average cost
per ride for a DSR passenger
in 1922 as compared to 1940?"
James S. Shields. assistant gen.
eral counsel for the DSR, pre-
sented dozens of figures about
DSR fares but failed to satisfy
Montgomery on the exact answer
to this question.

Shields added that the large in
crease in DSR coach service dur
ing recent years made it hard to
compare the present figures with
1922 when most of the DSR's Ve-

He showed that the street car
fares have declined and that the
present DSR coach fares are
cheaper than the coach fares

WHAT PRICE DIAPERS
(Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Isaac Watt invented the steam engine, Eli Whitney the cotton gin and Alexander Graham Bell the telephone.
 These are all important in their way, but it remained for Joseph H. LaKritz of Cleveland Heights to apply his inventive skill to an article with which every man, woman and child has at some time come in contact.
 MT. LaKritz is the inventor of a pinless diaper and there is not a father or mother in the land who can fail to appreciate how this will revolutionize nursery practices that have remained un changed for generations.
 Who among US has not gotten up in the middle of the night to change the baby only to face the awful predicament of holding the neatly folded corners in place with one hand while groping for an elusive safety pin with the other? And who can say that, once having found the pin, he never made the dreadful mistake of stabbing the squirming infant.
 MT, LaKritz's solution of this problem is so simple it is surpris- ing no one ever thought of it be- fore. The pinless diaper has belt like arrangement which is slip ped through tiny metal rings.
 It is to be hoped that this' ar ticle will be on the market soon, in sufficient quantities and at a price so reasonable that every family can be supplied. Ameri- ca's rearmament program must go on, but nothing should be al- lowed 10 interefere with the pro- dustion of pinless diapers. Mil Hons now living and generations yet unborn will owe a debt of gratitude to this inventor.

The Washington Merry-Co-Round
By Drew Pearson and Robert s. Allen

WASHINGTON - A few days ago Army Air Corps chief sent a certain smorandum to Defense Commissioner William Knudsen. The public was given no hint of the document and the chances are it will never see the light of day.
 But in this secret memo is one anSw.r to why the warplane pro- gram is tagging, as Knudsen frankly admitted in his speech before the National Association of Manufacturers Whereas Knud sen talked only in general terms about the shortcomings of indus try and labor, the Air Corps memo puts blunt finger on one of the key bottlenecks of the avia ton industry aluminium alloy forgings and castings.
 These are vital in the manu- facture of planes, and the only large producer in the United Stat es is the Aluminium Corporation of America (A,coa), largely con- trolled by the Mellon family. A few indep ndents also make cast ings, but Alcoa dominates the out put, as we'll as aluminum-all tubing and sheeting, also essen- tial in manufacturing planes.
 Today, deliveries of forgings are seven months behind and of casting three months in arrears.
 For months the major airplana plants = Douglas, Consolidated, Northrop and others have been clamoring desperately for more of thee supplies. Result: where as deliveries of forgings to Dou- glas were four months b3hind last July, they are now seven months behind. This has forced the use of castings, which are weaker and less desirable than forgings.

WHO'S TO BLAME?

Who is to blame for this grave situation is a matter of bitter dispute.
 All hards arr agreed that there is no shortage of aluminium ig- nots. of which Aluminium CorpOr ation is the principal producer. The shortage is in the giant ham mers and dies required to make the plane forgings. In October, in an effort to meet the demand, Alcoa installed sevsn new ham, mers and now has a giant plant and machine tool expansion pro gram under way.
 But independents who are try ing to break into this profitable monopoly compai irately that they can get no help from the Defense Commission; that the Commission refuses financial aid to get them started.
 Commission executives reply that they are handling the prob lem of rapidly increasing the out put of forgings through other channels and then do some blame-placing themselves. Th.y

the American peoples convic- ton that it's resources must be placed ever more fully at the disposal of Great Britain.
 The German government is ob viously aware of the implications of the American policy of full aid to the British, and has been aware for a year or more. The new outcry is occasioned by the Presidents strong message to Congress and by declaration of Ronald H. Cross, British Minister of Shipping, that the British ship ping shortage could be overcoma only by the assignment of "a cer tain number of enemy ships in the United States" to the British service.

AIR CORPS FICTION

Few people know that in his private life the man who stands at the head of the expanding Army Air Corps is an author of books for boys.
 Major General Harold H. ('Hap) Arnold, Chief of the Air Corps, has Writtsn six books that read like the River Boys and bear such titles as, Bill Bruce and the Pioneer Aviators," Bill Bruce Becomes an Ace" and Bill Bruce on Border Patrol"
 The father of three boys, Gen -ral Arnold used to write avia- ton stories for them as fireside hobby. Bill Bruce" was drown after his son, William Bruce Ar mold, now in his first year in West Point, but who was then on the listening end of the original stories.
 By an odd twist of fate, the fic titious Bill Bruce once came to the h-lp of real Bill Bruce. The boy had to undergo a major op- eraton, for which the hospital charges were substantial. On the same day that the hospital bill was presented, a check came from the publisher for the Bill Bruce" books.
 Without depositing the check in the bank, Arnold endorsed it and sent it to the hospital to pay for the boys illness.

BIBLICAL DESTROYERS

There are two reasons for that grin on the face of North Dak- ota's Governor John Moses when he left the White House the other day.
 One was an assurance that the President would personally in vestigate why North Dakota has not received any of the new de- fenSe industries. Roosevelt prom ised to look into the matter im- mediately.
 The other reason was an anec- dote the President told Moses about a famous namesake of yours. It happened when Roo- sevelt was Assistant Secretary of the Navy in the Wilson Admins tration.
 He was asked to selsct from a list of American naval heroes, the name of a new destroyer. He picked Israel" in honor of U. s. Captain who distinguished himself in the war against the Barbary Coast pirates in 1851.
 Some time latr, Roosevelt was asked 10 approve the personnel of this destroyer. And while look ing over the list of personnel, another aide entered with anoth- CT personnsl list for a destroyer named Moses"
 This coincidence struck me as very funny" Roosevelt related. The young naval officer looked perturbed and inquired, Aren't those the right crews for those ships - Moses and Israel?' And then I laughed some more, be- cause heading the lists of officers were the names of Murphy and O'Reilly."
 NOTE-Moses, Democrat from a rock-ribbed COP state, is the ta lest Governor in the country feet four inches.

ITALIAN FLEET

The Italians confidential expla nation for the poor showing of their navy compared with the British is interesting.
 They point cut that their navy was built with the idea that it would oppose the French, never the British. Therefore most of the guns were concentrated in the forward part of their battle ships and cruisers, on the assump ton that the spsedier Italian yes sels fould take the offensive ag- ainst the older and slower French fleet.
 But in combat with the modern British navy, the Italian vessels have had to fight while steaming toward their home bases, there

attribute a good share of the trouble to the plane makers, whom they charge with making needless technical demands and not getting their drawings of forgings in on time.
 In turn, the manufacturers blame the Army and Navy for constant changes in plane de signs; argue that if plane parts were standardized much delay would be eliminated.
 Thus the buck is passed round and-round, while deliveries on the forgings and castings contin- ua to fall steadily behind, and air plane output tailspins.

MORAL AGGRES- SIO INDEED

It seems that the German and Italian government are not quite satisfied with Americas foreign policy. Indeed, it appears that the United States is guilty of ''pinpricks, challenges, insults and moral aggression" against the German Reich and of actions towards Rome which can only, Mussolinis mouthpieces say, re- suit in Italy's declaring war az ainst this country.
 This is not likely to distrub most Americans a great deal. Our foreign policy was not designed to please the Nazi or Fascist reg ines. And accusations of moral aggression" do not need to be taken too seriously when they come from governments guilty of more physical aggreSisons than one can count.
 Naturally, great many Ameri cans have spoken their minds freely about Nazism. These, no doubt, are the ''pinpricks" and insults Because we sympath- ize with the victims of German aggression, We have helped them not much, perhaps, but some. This of course explains the "chal lngeS.'
 s> What 1t is we have done which constitutes moral aggression" is a little harded to decide. Perhaps the economic aid we have sup piled to Britain, which is waging war, would be called secondhand moral aggression"
 Whatever the reaction of the -Nazi and Fascist government we have no reason to change our course. So long as our immediate  ed vital interests are not direct 1y Involved, we shall remain neu- tral in law and nonbelligerent in policy. But such a nation as ours cannot revise its policy to suit the whims of the tyrants who govern Germany and Ital7.
 l is important to notice jus what Berlin and Rome are doing. They are addressing a threat to the United States, be'ieveing this country is so afraid of war that it will reduce it's aid to Britain ra her than risk argering the Axis. This is an unwise line of policy for Berlin and Rome to adopt, for threats will not avail. Japan tried that tactic of threats tn months ago. It brought swift expansion of the American battle fe-t and new embargoeS on goods for Japan. Threats from the other end of the Rome Berlin Tokyo Axis will only strengthen
