TRUCKING UNDER
 NEW SUPERVISION
Commission Takes Charge Of All Labor Disputes;
 MeyerhOOd, Chairman

Hartford, Dec. 28- Creation of a trucking commission to have juris- diction over all labor disputes and requests for wage and salary ad- justments affecting the stabilization of the trucking industry and of trucking phases of other industries was announced recently by the National War Labor Board.
 Professor Howard Meyerhoff. of Smith college. was appointed chair man of the trucking commission. The industry member is Landis OBrien. executive vice president of the eco Highway Express Com- pany Cleveland, Ohio, while Frank Tokin, research director of the AFL Teamsters Union legislative office here, was appointed as labor men- Der. They are to be paid officials of WLB.
 Jurisdiction of the commission includes the trucking activities of other industries, as well as the en- tire trucking industry, the directive stated. The commission will be guided by executive orders and by the wLB's policies and orders. and its decisions will be final, subject to review of the WLB. It will han dle all cases referred to it by the VILE.
 Establishment of the trucking was another phase of the boards decen- tralization program to facilitate set- tlement of labor disputes and ad- ministration of the wage and sal- ary stabilization program.

orly 100000 acres, of which, at most, 100000 are suitable for culti- vation.
 IMPORTS ARE VITAL
 If the entire arabic acreage were used for raising foodstuffs, the is- landers still would have to import, by water, half of what they ate.
 But then, since there are no ma. tural resources that can be used for Standardization, there would be no morey with which to> pay for the half of the food that had to be bought, or for clothing. or for wood for houses, or for any of the things that can not be raised there.
 The island does not possess the resources with which to support it's present population, not to mention the 35,000 new mouths that are added-het, by excess of births over deaths-every year.
 With ships needed for war use, less than third of the pre.Pearl Harbor tonnage of supplies can be imported.
 Almost isolated by lack of ship ping, how can the Puerto Ricans exist even if Congress puts up 925,- 100000 year to pay the piper?
 That is one of the questions the Chavez committee hopes to answer. by going there and seeing with it's own eyes.

The drive te elect him as assistant to Senator Charles L. McNary of Oregon, the minority leader, is aimed ct the re moval of Senator Warren Austin o Vermont, whose views are regarded as too international" by the iso- lationist bloc.
 Wendell L. Willkie, the party's presidential candidate in i040 and a supporter of President Roosevelt's foreign policy, is already on record as opposed to the custer of Austin and the selection of Danaher.
 When Willkie was told of the drive, he said:
 T hope the report is inaccurate. There could be no greater tragedy than for the United states Senate to repeat it's action of 1920 in pre- venting the United tSates from as- suming its obligations toward the establishment and maintenance of world order"
 The c. o. P senators will choost their party leaders at caucus Jan. 1, two days before the new Congress convenes. The assistant leader plays an important role in floor contests. and serves as party leader when the leader is absent.
