We who keep Greyhound buses rolling
across our State are conscious of the
importance of our particular job-to
the whole system of wartime transpor-
tation. Without the buses doing their
share of the job other transportation
would be burdened beyond capacity.
Many of our people today are serving
in the Armed Forces-the rest of us
are doing our level best to keep essen
tial highway travel safe and efficient.
But we're also thinking about and plan
ming for the postwar days, when pleas
ure travel will return and when such
travel in new and finer Super-Coaches
will be greater pleasure than ever.

 T hope no one will think I am nagging you. I served here for 24 years and I think it would be to the public interest if you should adopt retirement system for your selves"
 Rep. John J. Cochran of Missouri said the only pension plan for con- gres0men he saw was one that would have cost him $8,0OO to join. He said he was against that. (Hey, fellers, we were talking about mailmen. Remember?)
 Representative William M. Col mer of Mississippi said if everybody agreed mailmen ought to get more dough, why allot three hours to argue about it? Representative Fish replied that the boys didn't intend to argue, they wanted to pay oratorical tribute to the men with the mail sacks.
 Representative Fish subsided then, batting Representative Clare E.. Hoffman of Michigan on the head as he walked by, and Representative George D. O'Brien, also of Michi- gan, explained the bill again. He said the high cost of living and in- come taxes would use up the postal pay raise, but that this was better than having the mailman go into debt. Representative Frank O'Keefe of Wisconsin congratulated Repre- sentative O,Brien. Representative Noah Mason of Illinois said the mailman deserved more than 27 cents day
 Rep. Joseph P. O'Hara of Michi- gan said the bill would be fine Christmas present. Representative John Jennings, Jr., of Tennessee, said mailmen were among this country's finest citizens. All hands by now wanted to eulogiZe the mail- man. All but Representative Poage. &e said he had nothing against Mnailmen, but that he thought the wi was so much more imitation. He aaid he was against it.

Attorney A. Henry Weisman, who made the offer of $1,00O as full set clement of the debt was not in the courtroom when the mattr was call- ed of, and he was reported to have left today for a trip to Florida.
 The debt, on which the $1,000 compromise offer was made, in- volved judgment of $3,087.88 and interest from June 26, 1884, and note for $2,409.42 with interest from January, 1892.
 It was reported today that an- other offer may be made by Attor- ney Weisman, but no details were available.
 In statement several weeks ago on the financial status of Attorney Weisman, and his wife, Charlotte, the bank commissioner indicated that the full sum appeared to be uncollectable because of the numer- ous listed liabilities of the couple and lack of listed assets. Mrs. Wis man entered the case as endorser of the note.
 The association involved in the Judgment was legislated out of eX- istence in 1885. The bank receiver in his motion pointed out that the third party in the debt, who was Attorney Weisman's father-in-law, died without leaving any estate or assets on which collection could be made.

 Tokyo made no mention of any planes shot down or damaged in any of today's stories, and it was indl- cated that all returned safely to their Saipan bases.
 There was no immediate confirm ation of the flights from American sources, but the War Department customarily ignores small-scale nuisance or reconnaissance attacks and Saipan dispatches often do not mention them until days afterward.
 Japanese broadcasts have report ed Superfortresses in various strength over Tokyo almost daily and have detailed preparations to withstand an anticipated all-out offensive on the scale now being meted out to Germany.
 The Domei agency said the Jap aneSe house of representatives will work fast on legislative bills during the extraordinary session of the Diet opening December A because of the possibility of air raids"

 Full precautions have been taken to enable the Diet to remain u1- waveringly in session regardless of whatever situation might arise from intensified air raids" the dispatch said.

 One of MacLeish'S strongest crit. ics, Sen. Bennett c. Clark, D., Mo. served notice that he would speaE: tat length" on the nomination of the author poet as assistant secre- tary of state in charge of public and cultural relations.
 A group of four other senators considered the possibility of re- questing President Roosevelt to withdraw all six of the nominations on the grounds that the nominees do not reflect the attitude of the Senate on foreign policy.
 The four-Sens. Claude Pepper D., Fla, Joseph F. Guffey, D., Pa., James E. Murray, D, and Robert M. LaFollette, P Wis.-Got only four votes for such a motion yes- terday in the Foreign Relations Committee.
 In addition to MacLeish, the list includes Joseph c. Grew to be un- dersecretary and Nelson A. Rockef- feller, James c. Dunn, William L. Clayton, and Brig. Gen. Julius c Holmes to be assistant secretaries.
 The Foreign Relations Commit tee, meeting in executive session, quickly approved the other five names on series of divided roll calls. When MacLeish's name was reached the first call of the com mittee list was against him, 12 to 8. Pepper quickly moved to recon slider the vote, however, and the next call resulted in tie of 10 to 10.

 In one of the most fortnight public statements of his career, Tay- Tor delivered an impassioned piea for economic relief for Italy and condemned the British thesis" that the Italians are beaten enemy and must be made to pay and pay".
 Taylor spoke at dinner rendered to touring members of the congress sional military affairs committee by Brig. Gen. Thoburn K. Brown, Allied commander in the Rome area.
 At the end of his prepared ad- dress, Taylor locked in brief but acidulous exchange of words with Congressman Paul J. Kilday of Texas after the latter had chal- lenged his stand toward Italy.
 Questioned as to what form of American aid he wanted, Taylor said he was not seeking congress sional appropriations but wished the committees endorsement so that funds could be raised in the United States on voluntary basis similar to the relief organizations formed to aid Allied Nations.
 Kilday interrupted att hat point to say that, although the Italians are Allies now, they once were ene- mics and should be madet o suf- fer for their war guilt as a mat ter of principle.
 They should understand their sins cannot so easily be forgiven" he said.
 Taylor rose immediately to re- buke the congressman sharply, aS- serting that Italy already has "suf- fered terribly" and that failure of the Allies to mitigate that suffer- ing was one of he best ways to push Italy into Communism.
 Such development, he declared, is contrary to the aims of the United States.
 In his prepared speech, Taylor ap- pealed for congressional support of a voluntary relief project to help Italy out of the desolate econ- omlc and political situation, and he pointed out that Italy was the first country to throw off he Axis yoke and come over ot he Allied side.

 While the battle of Leyte ragged on toward it's bloody conclusion American carrier and 1and-based planes were softening up Luzon, main island in the Philippines and ste of their cauital, Manila, with al- most daily raids for what may be the next amphibious landing on MacMacArthur's schedule.
 Carrier planes set the pace for the latest series of attacks with raids on harbor and airfield installa- tions, presumably including those in the Manila area, yesterday. Pre- tminary and incomplete reports showed that at least IA enemy planes were shot down and 77 destroyed on the ground, 8 Pearl Harbor com- munique said.
 Land-based planes of MacArthur's command added to the destruction with an attack on Legaspji airdrome in Southern Luzon and the sinking Verde passage of the southwest coast. Other land-based planes harassed shipping in Manila bay without opposition, but results were not announced.

Because the bill allows four men to be assigned to each of the new ranks, the president still may ap- point another Super" admiral There has been speculation that Admiral William F. Halsey, Jr., commander of the Third Fleet would be named to the post but it was noted that such a promotion might be regarded as a slight to Admiral Raymond A. Spruance commander of the Fifth Fleet who apparently alternates with Halsey in commanding major operations against the Japanese.
 Gen. John J. Pershing, com mander of the American Expedi- tionary Force of World War I, re- mains as the highest ranking U. s. Army officer. His rank of General of the Armies" created for him by special act of Congress, remains superior to General of the Army
 The new "Super-ranks" were sought by the services in order to give top U. s. Army and Navy commanders rank and prestige com parable to that of their counter parts in the British and other AL lied armies. Eisenhower, for ex- ample, has been "out-ranked' theoretically by his subordinate Britain's Sir Bernard Law Mont gomery, since the latter was pro- noted from general to field mar shal last summer.
 Holders of the new ranks-all of which are temporary, along with majority of other high wartime ranks-are expected to wear five stars on their shoulders as do Brit ish field marshals and admirals of the fleet. U. s. generals and ad- nirals wear four stars.
