are very much up in the air, As one
of them said to me the other day,
We are perfectly willing to take
our chances on the weather, on
feed prospects. on diseases and
other possible catastrophes, on the
natural movement of prices, but
when you add to that the fact that
some change in governmental poll
cies may so affect prices as to put
us all out OF business we just do
not know whether to 60 ahead and
take the risk or not AS far as
cattle are concerned, these farmers
are thinking of the possibility of
ceiling prices on livestock animals,
of Government control of protein
feeds and of the general confusion
which can easily result with price
ceiling being fixed by the OPA, in
many cases without relationship to
production costs and problems.
Dissatisfied on Gas Rations.
Just now there is considerable
dissatisfaction over the cut in gaso-
line rations. There is widespread
belief that it is not necessary from
a supply standpoint, but that it is
being imposed to appease the people
living on the Eastern seaboard.
Many people tie it in with fourth
term politics, common expression
being that the President knows he
has lost the West and Is now trying
to win the favor of the East, where
the most votes are. There is also
a general feeling that in any allo-
cation Of gas rations people in the
West should receive larger allot-
ments because distances are greater
and public transportation facilities
are less available than in the East.
There is more resentment and
hard feeling against the OPA than
any other governmental agency.
This Is true particularly on the
part OF the small businessman, who
complains Of great droves of OPA
snoopers going about the country
trying to catch people who have
violated the numerous OPA regula-
tions innocently because there is
no way by which any businessman
can keep up with them. These OPA
employees are commonly referred to
as the Gestapo. Numerous in
stances have been called to my at
tention where three, four or five
OPA operatives descended on some
businessman and spent several days
looking over his books without. in
most cases, finding any evidence OF
violation, or. If violations were
found, that they were technical and
without any intent to violate the
law. In many cases it is claimed
that the violations were caused of
the OPA's own conflicting regula-

heard that most Of these OPA op-
eratives seem to be within the mill

Representative Brown wrote:

Farmers Complaints.
This is particularly true Of farm
ers. Among their specific COM
plants along this line are the
shortages of farm machinery which
they consider to be unnecessary;
shortage of farm labor which they
attribute in a large part to govern
mental labor and manpower policy;
the restrictions which have been
placed upon the use Of motor fuel
and particularly the time and effort
which they have to take from their
farmwork in order to flll out Gov
ernment forms, meet with ration
boards and other governmental
agencies.
Many farmers complain that they
do not know how to plan their farm
ing operations in view of the un-
certainty of governmental policies.

TAT. soon inaugurated its coast-to-
coast rail-air trips.
Among the air mail companies
were several no longer in existence,
including such companies of the past
as Clifford Ball, Inc, Stout Air Serv-
ices, Universal Air Lines, Interstate
Airlines, Gulf Air Lines, Maddux Air
Lines and Standard Airlines. Most
OF these companies became parts of
larger group systems. The start was
made in the grouping of routes and
companies which resulted in Amer
lean Airlines, TWA, Eastern and
other present major companies. Pan
American got its start as the worlds
greatest overseas operator by flying
from Miami to San Juan, Nassau
and Havana.
One of the greatest technical de-
velopments was the adaptation of
radio to airplane use. Father" of
this far-reaching project was the late
Throp Hiscock of United Air Lines,
who insisted that two-way radio
telephone communication between
planes and ground stations could be
effected. Through his efforts, in
stallations of two-way radio-tele-
phone equipment proceeded on a
large scale in 1929. Pilots and
ground stations were linked by voice
communication to the everlasting
benefit of all scheduled air trans
portation.
Other aids were summoned to add
to the efficiency and reliability of
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. schedules.
Weather reporting services were i'm
proved, the radio range came along
with its provision of an "aerial high
way" planes themselves became
more efficient. The Boeing Dos, aft
er five years of meritorious service,
gave way to the Boeing OATS of Unit
ed Air Lines, first all-metal, low
wing, twin-engined transports in the
country. These 10-passenger, three
mlle-a-minute planes revolutionized
air transportation, introducing new
factors of speed, comfort and all
around efficiency. Travel time from
coast-to-coast was cut to 1912 hours.
COast-to-Coa Overnight.
Then came the Douglas DC-2-the
speedy Lockheeds and later Doug
las DC-3s and the Lockheed Lode
stars again to spell big gains in
speed, comfort and efficiency.
By the mid-193Os, air mail had be-
come habit with a large part of
the American public. Business and
industry had come to rely on its
speed. Air mail poundage had in
creased year by year, even as air
mail rates had gone down. AS
against the PIT 900 pounds carried in
1926, 100000 pounds were carried
in 1884. Air mail pound miles per-
formed by the nations airlines rose
from $3.50, 100000 in 1881 to 22,293,-
600, 900 in l94l. Meanwhile, air mail
postage had dropped from 10 cents
for one-half ounce or fraction there
of in 1927 to a flat six cents per
ounce for the transportation of a
letter from any place to any place
in the United States.
Starting from the keystone of air
mail, there has been built under pri-
vate enterprise in this country the
worlds greatest air transport sys-
tenn. And that's one of the reasons
why Uncle Sam looks back so proud
ly over his air mails epic achieve
rent in the relatively short time of
a quarter of a century!

playground director, DR.. Abraham
Hurwitz, is finding exciting new
uses for it. Like a modern Wizard
of Or he's touring the city, teach
ing magic to youngsters, putting

magicians' club. The object is to
lure kids safely into play
grounds while their parents are
away at work. DR.. Hurwitz has
drawn over a million kids to his
free shows.
He has a card file of 4,0OO magic
tricks related to schoolwork.
Young magicians have to brush
UP on physics, chemistry, pen
manship, speech or arithmetic in
order to master these stunts
Hurwitz chuckles. II taught a
magic-bubble act to one boy who'd
fiunked chemistry. To make the
formula for the bubbles he had to

so fascinated that now he's study
ing to be a chemical engineer!

so expert they battle him. He

to make a red platter turn blue.
Next time he visited the play
