pate, all such new equipment will

Transportation is the life-blood of
trade" So what's to be done to
regulate transportation?
POLICY MUST
BE DETERMINED
Before anything can be done,
Congress may have to decide on
policy, dealing with each phase of
| transportation separately, though it
would be better if it we're an over
all consideration.
Pending in Congress is the So
called Lea bill, which would reor-
ganize control of aviation. 1t is
championed by Congressman Clar-
ence F.. Lea of Santa Rosa, Calf
chairman of the House Committee
on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler of
Butte. Mont, chairman of the Sem
ate Commerce Committee, has an
nounced he will present new legis-
lation to prevent railroads from
owning and operating buses and
trucks. Wheeler is also opposed to
railroad operation of airlines.
Senator Bennett Clark of Univer-
Sity City, Mo-, chairman of COM
merce subcommittee on aviation,
has yet to determine what legisla-
ton to recommend.
Chairman Land of the Maritime
Commission has courageously come
forth with proposals that the U. S.
war shipping fleet be kept on the
seas after the war.
AS war emergency, the govern
ment has built several pipelines
whose postwar place in the nation
al transportation scheme must be
determined.
Water and highway carriers, now
under Interstate Commerce Com
mission regulation, would like sep
arate control to get out from under
what they consider railroad domin-
alton.
On the other hand, the railroads
would like to see unified regulation
of all means of transportation by
one central body. The viewpoint of
Wheeler and Clark is viewed by the
railroads as favoring such unlim-
tied competition between transport
tation lines and systems as to ruin
them all.
'INTEGRATED"
TRANSPORTATION
In all these varying points of view
you have the markings of a major
internal economic dispute that can
be settled only by the establishment
of national transport policy.
Railroad investors, through their
American Transportation Asoscia-
ton. have their own solution for
this middle in their proposal for
"integrated" systems of transporta-
ton, combining all air, rail, high
way and water carriers into from
IL to II regional networks. But they
are holding back their proposal,
they say, until Congress reconveneS
and begins an orderly consideration
of the overall problem, rather than
attempting to deal with one indus
try without regard to anoher.
MANY of these moves are OBJ
viously designed to bring about gov
eminent ownership as part of a So
cialistic pattern for all elements of
the economy following the war"
says Donald d. Conn of the Amer
lean Transportation Association.
Others are manifestly promoted
in the self-interest of some one
form of transportation against an
aother, or in the hope of creating
public reaction favorable to extern
sive subsidies"
In other words, everybody is still
out to get his. And Congress may
have TO cut out large sized job
for itself in seeing that the public
will get it's share, too

Barbara, California, he met Thomas H. Rick
etts, head of the American Film Company,
who was shooting an early crop of the turn
'em-out-fast, bang-bang Western movies.
Breezy was Ricketts, guest at Sunday rodeo,
staged by the producer S cowboys and Indians.
After professional rider had tanned bronco.
Ricketts, laughed to Eason That's a little
different from your profession
'Oh. don't know" Breezy said, 'it looks
fairly easy" Three of the Ricketts, riders
chimed in Like to ride one?"
Sure"
Two cowboys brought skittish horse
through the corral gate. Breezy - spats,
derby and all - mounted. The bronc sun

yelled the cowboys ''Stir him up.'
Breezy whanged the bronc over the head

say, Breezy never asks us to do anything
that isn't safe. We've learned not to hesitate.
If we do he says, III show you once, and
does the stunt himself Not bad for a forty
nine-year- old
Last year Breezy was talking about retir-
ing. But America got caught In the biggest
battle scenes of all. Easons unique knowledge
and experience made his dream of ease inn
possible - even if he had wanted to cling to
it. "Air Force" meant more to him than
almost any other film he's worked on. The
picture was conceived by 1t. Gen. Arnold,
Chief of the US Air Force. From the rec
ords of heroes, it tells the story of fighting
flyers Breezy's boss - Director Howard
Hawks - worried about the storytelling
while the thrill king worked out all the flying
shots: such things as the reproduction of
five airfelds, including the history-making
ones of Pearl Harbor, Wake Island and Mid
way.
Real heroine of Air Force was Mary
Ann a veteran Flying Fortress, back from
dozen Pacific battles Air Force" tells Mary
AIMS story all except the final act. Three
days after the picture was completed, the
plane - carrying Air Force cadets - crashed.
BY some miracle, there were no casualties.
Army officers. having watched Eason's safety
work, shook their heads.
Breezy" they said, must have arranged
this crash"

Finally, going by corral post, he reached
out, seized the post, let it yank him off and
spin him around then sat on the fence rail
and waved his hand.
That went over big.
Ricketts,, in awe. asked, How would you
like to be stunt man for my movie company"
whats the salary?" Breezy asked.
''Thirty-fve week.
The boy, who was earning S85 and wearing
spats in his singing job, said, I'm take it. y

0REEZY celebrated his new job and his
2lst birthday by getting married. His bride
lived through 10 years of watching her hus-
band do stunts before he became director.

a little excitement? Thrills? Spills?"
He got his answer when he heard Eason
talk to his cowboys: The dough is on the
line. Three times around. Three hundred
dollars to the first man in! This is Hr'
Bong! Forty-eight horses, II chariots,
went away. The man on the outside, at the
first turn, swerved to gain the rail, and collid-
ed with two other chariots. The three piled up.
Warning flags were waved, but the COW
boys money on their minds, could see room
for one chariot to go through. All nine charl-
OTIS, on the second lap, headed for that narrow
hole between rail and wreckage - the short
way home. Four more piled up. Five drivers
cleared the wreckage. finished the course
Not Satisfied
WHILE the 10000 audience extras jumped
and waved, and executives cheered. Breezy
got ready for another take.
The executive walked over: What more
do you wantp' Breezy ducked the question -
those cowboys, with $500 in real money at
stake, had forgotten the story: IN the crucial
shots from his AZ cameras (still record for
one scene) Ben Hur's chariot showed plainly
- running last! Breezy finally got Ben Hur
home in front
Skill in hurting men and horses together,
and unscrambling them alive and unhurt,
moved him inevitably into film battle. He
has reached the point where battle scenes are
left blank on scripts except for, Battle to be
written and directed by Eason."

When Mrs Landes sought re-elec- ton in 1928, the novelty of a wo- man-ruled city had worn off and the municipal campaign simmered down to the question whether the city should remain that or return to the old order of being man. ruled. The citizens cast decisive vote in favor of the latter, the wo- man mayor being defeated by Frank Edwards, virtually unheard of fig ure in politics. His plurality was 19000, the largest in the history of the city
