GERRYMANDERING

In several states which went Re- publican last November, but failed to oust all of the Democratic Con- gressmen, the local COP legislatures are now planning to accomplish by gerrymandering what they failed to do with the ballot. In the redictrict- ing required by the 1940 census, they are out to oust the remaining Demo- crats.
 Unfortunately, this involves some of the most useful members of the House, who because of their out standing records are difficult to beat at the polls. Here are some of the Democratic Congressmen who are on the spot because their states have lost population, hence lost one or more Congressional seats:
 John M. Jack) Houston of the Fifth District of Kansas, hard work ing member of the Appropriations Committee and foe of big insurance companies. In reducing Kansas Congressional districts from to 6, COP bosses in the Legislature is the states only Democratic Re- presentative, and one of the most plan to torpedo Houston's, since he popular figures it has sent to Con- gress in years.
 William Jacobsen of the Iowa &c., cond District, who was elected to succeed his father, the late Re- presentative Bernhard Jacobsen, in 1886. A leading light on the Naval Affairs Committee, Jacobsen has proved himself invincible in elec- tions, so the GOP-controlled Iowa legislature hopes to eliminate his district.
 Republicans haven't shown their hand yet in the Massachusetts re- districting, but inside word is that the Legislature, which they con- trol, will attempt to sandbag either Joseph Casey, of the Third District or Arthur Healey, of the Eighth

The Airlines Are No Longer Mere Luxuries
Philadelphia Record)


 The airlines have decided to adopt pay-by- the month plan for fares higher than $50.
 The new plan will be of especial value to that growing number of Americans who the airlines regularly, and who sometimes inconvenenced by the necessity for finding large sums of cash to pay for unexpected trips.
 The instalment plan system of paying for fares was adopted some months ago by the railroads Ap- parently it has been success The elaborate or ganization personal credit systems in this country makes such plans possible and there is no more why they should not be applied to transpor- tation after their long in the field of retail ing.
 Aircraft travel is no longer luxury for the free spenders. More and more salesmen technical men and businessmen using it in order to cut travel time Up until last summer the growth of airpane travel had been markedly facilitated by the noatal accident record that had lasted more than year.
 The accidents since then have broken that record, but the airnes of the United States still have a safety record of which they can be proud Airline safety continues to increase with technical improve ments and with the greater number of passengers using planes That makes possible better safety cautions, emergency landing fields, etc.
