BY JACK MURPHY.

Told to us the other day was the
story of a WAVE travelling from
Seattle to training quarters at Palm
Beach who, in seven days of train
riding was unable to get anything
to eat except chicken and eggs.
The story easily can be believed
by any one who has eaten on rail
diners in recent months. Both serv-
ice and food are at an all-time low.
This, railmen, explain, is caused by
the unprecedented demand. They
point out that the diners are oper-
ating steadily as much as II hours
day and are forced to get along
with workers of little or no expert
ence and that they, too, face the
problem of rationing.
Understandable, of course Yet
one wonders if the railroads are not
killing any chances they may have
Of intriguing postwar tourists on the
"joys of train travel" Thousands of
service men and women, eating in
rail diners for the first time, will
have only the memory of rubbery
omelets and chicken king tasting
like much thrown at them in quick
lunch fashion, often as not with
soiled ware on greasy tables.

Railroad men here discussing the
FBI arrests in Florida last week for
black market Pullman reservation
sales wonder if the FBI will be able
to obtain convictions. They point
out that such persons who have
given a hotel operative, taxi men or
ticker seller anywhere from $40 to
500 to obtain reservations for them
certainly will not, if they can help
it, go all the way back to Florida to
testify. Moreover, it is added tips"
of $40 and up have been given be-
fore to bellboys and taximen.

Transportation meanwhile gives
promise of being more in the head

tanning the transfer of troops and
war-carrying commerce grapple
with daily increasing burdens.
In critical time ahead" state
ment issued the other day, the Of
| flee of Defense transportation es-
timated that passenger travel in
1914 would be 20 per cent heavier
than in 1943.
Discussing the magnitude of ris-
ing war passenger demands on the
rails, Malcolm Douglas of the
American Express Travel Service
points to newly compiled figures
which show "the sensational num-
Der of IS billion passenger miles
was reached by the carriers in
1943, which included a troop move
ment of more than 10 million men
in special trains.
"The urgency of the present sit
uation," he continues, "is more fully
realized when shown in compara-
tive figures which totaled an in
crease of So per cent over 1912, SO
per cent over what it was in the
last war and nearly four times over
what it was in 1899.
While OPA boards in Florida are
refusing to grant needed gasoline
coupons that stranded motorists
may return North, there is little
if any evidence that Floridians
themselves are suffering the short
age too severely. On a swing just
completed of the Eastern Seaboard
and points on the Gulf, your cor
respondent noted more passenger
autos on the streets of Florida cities
than in other States combined and
gas stations seemed as plentiful and
busy as ever.
A knowing taxi driver in Clear
water, Fla, scoffed at rationing
Why" said he, "the section be-
tween here and st. Petersburg is the
center of the black market. They
bring the stuff over here from
Mexico-there's no rationing in
Mexico and we're not at war with
Mexico" his thoughts running into
a tumble of words.
Amateur fishermen who sit with
pole and lines for hours and days
nod assent. "It's coming over in
barges-run all over the State and
north even into the Carolinas in
fruit trucks" they say.
Florida sheriffs, shifting their gun
belts, say they know nothing
about it.
Perhaps the FBI men might pause
in its hunt for Pullman ticket scalp
ers to look into it.
Steamship interests are endeavor-
ing to build public sentiment urg-
ing Government maintenance of a
strong postwar merchant feet, the
National Association of Travel OFF,
cials points out in its recent news
letter. 1t is argued that to main
tain postwar employment, pay inter-
est and principal on our huge ma
tional debt, prevent imitation, etc.,
the United States must necessarily
expand its foreign trade.
The steamship interests also point
out that great efforts now are being
made to enlist and train officers and
men for the new ships of the Navy
and merchant marine. They say:
I'VE must keep faith With these
men and provide opportunity for
them, after the wal, to stay in the
field they, have chosen, Ships can
be laid up, but not the officers and
crews of ships"

~rCasc The state grant to local school
ii tiicts per elementary pupil from
about SEQ to about $50 per year.
SIXTY pr cent of tho increase would
lave to be used for teachers SAL
1ucs. The total additional cost to
the STATE would be about $15,000.O0O
a year.
Backers of the proposal, who in
cludc the California Teachers aSso-
ciation. officials of the state Con-
grCsS of Parents and Teachers and
other groups, point out that thou-
ENDS of teachers have gone into
thC armed forces and into higher
paying war Jobs. Increased salaries,
they claim. arc necessary to hire
new teachers and to lure former
teachers back to the schools.
SHORTAGE DISPUTED
There IS some dispute over Wheth-
CT there is an actual shortage OF
teachers in the state now. Dr.
Walter Dexter, state superintendent
of public instruction. reported re-
Gently that nearly all teaching posi-
tiors in the state were filled.
However, proponents argue that
around 45CD elementary and high
school teachers last year were serV-
ing under emergency credentials
and are of a type who in ordinary
times would not be allowed to teach
in California schools. The number
is expected to be greater this year.
Opponents of the proposition, IN
Guiding the California Taxpayers
association among others. hold that
rather than a flat increase in al
lolments to all school districts, an
,o,i9lization fund should be estab-
jished from which aid will be given
cnly to districts which actually
need il.
The legislature always has given
generous Gupport 10 schools, these
groups contend. They point out that
California is among the leading
states in amount of money per pupil
srcnt Tor education, and that an
emergency $6 increase per pupil IN
allotmpntg is effective fer the pres
eut and past school year
TECHNICAL ISSUES
Two somewhat technical tax IS
sucg are concerned in propositions
A and e. Number would permit the
legislature to exempt from property
taxation property use for religious
charitable CT hospital purposes
whicr Is owned by non-profit Or
ganizatione. Supporters argue that
California is the only state which
taxes such organizations. while op-
pCucrte hold that specific tax eX-
emnsiCns should be determined by
vote of the reCple rather than by
the LEGISLATURE
Number 8 would validate deeds to
property issued by taxing agencies
after seizure of the property Tor
non-payment Of taXcs. It is con-
tended on the one hand that in
many cases that taxing agencies are
unable 10 issue clear title to such
property, and on the ether hand
tEat the procedure outlined would
permit property TO be sold for taxes
without the owners knowledge.

The disease usually Is character
lied by scabs or wart like growths
on the comb anC about the face
and eyes of the birds. Landerrnan
said. "A few such LESSONS may cause
little trouble but if the infection
becomes severe. the bird will lose
appetite and weight and in some
cases may die"
Ianderman said that prevention
OF far better than any cure vet

tlon OF growing chicks up to Is
weeks OF age, This, he explained. has
been practiced by commercial poul-
rymen for 20 years. He suggested
that the best thing Is for back
YARD poultry raiSeES to buy chicks
which already have been vaccinat-
ed.
Vaccination Is not difficult and
Is accomplished by pricking the
skin Of the leg or the web of the
wing with sharp instrument which
has been GippeC in the vaccine. he
said. A two-prongei instrument IS
best and can easily be made BY
cutting off the eye end Cf a sew

prongS remain. This double prOnged
eye IS dippCC into the vaccine and
then used 10 prick the skin.
