SO far the picture for liberals and

Every indication points to real gains

recognized that the postal employees
are highly Efficient sllillfully trained
and underpaid by comparison. During
the present war, practically no defer

granted. More than $4,000 postal en-

armed forces. This has thrown Il huge
additional burden upon the remaining

has been handled in spite Of the loss
of such great number of trained EN-
ployees is high tribute to the loyalty
and efficiency of those who have had
to carry on through longer hours and

Congress) that those workers receive
compensation at the rate of time and

Postal employees, on the other hand,
receive pay for overtime at only Il

have been behind the scenes OF
western factories know that they
may create an industrial revolu-
ton"
The movement to centrallze all
railroads. planes, trucks and steam
,hips, he charged, would create
dangerous monopoly that would
work against western development.
Capitalization, he ao ded, would be
"the final step before nationaliza-
ton"
Areas that are wilderness today
will become sites of new cities and
lanes of fabulous traffic" he pre-
dicted, and cited the examples OF
the bay area petroleum industry,
synthetic rubber and plastic plants
at Los Angeles, the Kaiser Per-
manente magnesium works, anc the
northwest's distilling of alcohol
from sawduSt.
The needs of the west, he en-
phasized, demand that transporta-
ton be kept resilient and competi-
/ tive"
I'VE don't want integration of
our transportation. There is Moth
ing to integrate. We have just start
