rail LEADERS ASK
FREIGHT RATE HIKE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.--lR-E.
r. Oliver, vice-president OF the
Southern Railway, urged today
immediate restoration Of freight
rate increases to offset a possible
slack period after the war.
oliver said the Interstate Com
merce Commission, which sus-
pended the increases, that most OF
the current freight rate traffic IS
warbuilt and would drop dras-
tically when the war in Europe
ends, perhaps this year.
He cited government estimates
of 40 per cent war production
cutback after victory In Europe
to bolster his argument that tae
railroads face a period OF de-
crea sing revenue in the early 1u-
ture. !:
Estimating that rail income OIL
rectly or indirectly from the war
amounted to at least 60 per cent
of the total Oliver declared that
the industry's income would re-
vert to that Of 1941 if war traffic
disappeared.
He suggested that postwar
freight shrinkage would be EVIL
dent particularly in the south pc
cause Of curtailment OF military
and shipyard operation.
Walter S. Franklin, vice presl-
dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad
nredicted that suspensions of the
;nreased rates ultimately would
Impair the financial structure OF
the railroads and interfere with
their participation In combating
unemployment after the war.

Germans again put the torch to it. This time the score

POLITICIANS have a way of
Il displaying enthusiams for
cause before election which
they shelve neatly after cleo
ton day.
Last summer both the Re-
publican and Democratic par
ties dorsed the Zionist
position in Palestine.
This question cannot be set-
tied by the United States be-
cause p estine is British
territory by mandate.
A mandate is a fictitious de-
vice invented at the end of the
last war by which Imperialism
was cleansed by being given
another name. the mandate.
So Great Britain owns and
manages Palestine.
The reasons why Zionists
press the Congress of the
United States for a resolution
is because they believe that
this country has some influence
with the British and secondly
because there is an Anglo
Jewish agreement on the SUBJ
ject.
MY OWN congressman, Sol
N1 Bloom. chairman of the
House foreign affairs commit
tee, had stated that he would
convene his committee on Nov.
Is, to reconsider the question
of congressional resolution
which had been introduced by
Senators Taft and Wagner and
Reps. Compton and Wright.
There was every evidence
that this rather mild resolution
would pass but the war depart
ment asked for allegiance for
military reasons which were
then obscure and which now
are nonexistent.
Since then, Harold Ickes,
who is loud in his protestations
of his love for the Jews, did
some business about a pipe line
with the sons of Ibn Saud who
also were provided with some
millions of dollars-said to be
SIS, 900, ,000-for no other rea-
son than that everybody Is get

half a dozen or more cigars, a
brief supply indeed for DR..
Lempert. because he, too likes
to pass them around.
ITO THE true lover of the
Il cigar. price is no matter.
The late Harry M. Stevens. the
baseball and racetrack conces-
sionaire. though quite wealthy
was not one TO throw his
money around carelessly but he
INDUCED himself in one extrava-
gance and that was his cigars.
He imported them from Cuba
and like DR.. Lempert's they
cost one simoleon per.
And ! have seen Tod Sloan.
the jockey, when he was broke
spend his last dollar for one
cigar.
Mike Todd, the theatrical
producer, is another man who
likes his cigars big and expen-
sive. but Mike is a smoking
switch hitter, so TO speak.
He often smokes cigarets
which many inveterate cigar
smokers deem a weakness.
/ must say Michael looks
better behind cigar than a
ciggie. He smokes a cigar with
great positiveness like Winston
Churchill.
Col. Daryl Zanuck, the pic
ture maker, smokes cigars the
size Of saw logs and never any
thing else. He Is generous with
his cigars II he thinks the re-
cipient will appreciate them but
he does not fancy bestowing
them on some one of no under
standing of a good cigar. 1 pre-
sumo he considers II just a
waste Of fine tobacco.
ODDLY enough. actors seem
" to run more to cigar ssnok-
ing than any other profession.
Ken Murray. Lou Holtz,
George Jessel and OF course
Bobby Clark often use the cigar
when working on the stage al
most as a prop.
Editors and writer's are more
pipe and cigaret fellows and I
never heard Of a columnist
smoking cigars.
Irving Caesar. the song
writer, dips the unlighted end
of his cigar in his coffee after a
meal. John O'Brien. who used
to be active in the fight game,
rolls his cigar under his nose
after every puff and with a low
ing gesture, showing his enjoy
ment.
The late Ben Bernie, the or
chestra leader, was one of the
most prodigious cigar smokers
that ever lived and probably the
mussiest.
He would chew about half his
cigar to a pulp and he carried
a pair of scissors with which
he shipped off the masticated
portion at intervals until there
was no more to snip.
But when all is said and done
/ suppose Rudyard Kipling must
have been the top cigar lover of
ell time because he rated a
cigar above the ladies.
