LOS ANGELES, March so. (UP)
President Fred G. Gurley, of the
Santa Fe Railr'ay, described Attor-
ney General Francis Biddle as AT
las, with the weight of the world en-
his shoulders" and demanded last
night elimination of confusion in
regulation of railroad
The issue is Whetu1r tie carriers
should be regulated by the inter-
state commerce commission or by
the antitrust division of the de-
partment of justice, Gurley said.
1T is becoming clear that the at
torney general and his staff seek to
dominate the entire econom y
through their antitrust division,
perhaps functioning by consent de-
cree" Gurley said. He claimed the
governments antitrust suit against
the carriers lis a threat not against
the railroads alone but also against
the shippers"
Gurley advocated congressional
adoption of the Bulwinkle bill,
which would permit agreements be-
tween carriers without application
of the antitrust law if the agree
ments are approved by the ICC as

In Missions "
BY ERNIE PYLE

IN THE WESTERN PACIFIC
GDelayed)-On our airplane carrier,
we are all wondering what day Mrs.
Speidel had her baby. Here is the
reason we wonder:
Her husband is Lieut.. John Spell
del, who pilots a torpedo bomber
from our carrier He is only %, and
naturally was excited at the pros
pect of becoming father His wife
lives at Ais East Montana street.
Philadelphia.
NO ILLUSIONS
Now Lieutenant Speidel isn't so
young that he believes literally the
date of arrival which the doctor
gives several months ahead of time,
but at least it's something to shoot
at.
And so it came about that the date
and Lieut. Speidels assignment on
his first mission over Tokyo coincid-
ed. He thought what wonderful
double event.
But at the last moment the mis-
sion was cancelled, and our entire
task force counted its scores and
headed south. The double went
aglimmering.
Next day we were within flying
distance of the japanese islands to
the south, and we suddenly got
orders for a special bombing mission
on them. Lieutenant Speidel went.
And his plane got shot up. He
was lucky to get back at all. He
had hole in his wing, he couldn't
get his flaps down, and his air-speed
indicator was shot out. 1t seemed
improbable that he could land at all.
DID HARD JOB
He made two trys at it, Both
looked disastrous, and he was waved
off. He simply couldn't slow down
enough. So they sent him over to
one of the big carriers with lots OF
deck room, and he landed all right
over there. 1t was quite a Gay.
Now some of us older hands real
ize that baby may be born the day
before the doctor predicts, or the
day after. So we wonder if Lieu
tenant Sepidel might just possibly
have had his Two big days in one
after all?
Editors Note: Mrs Speidel re-
ports the baby came early. He was
a week old the day his father was
bombing the Jap islands. The baby's
name is John Jr., and he's doing
fine. So is Mrs. SpeideD

STATE SENATE VOTES BAN
ON FOOD ICE SALES TAX

SACRAMENTO, March 80. CUP)--
Packing ice used in transporting
food would be exempted from the
state sales tax under the provis-
ions of bill passed by the state
senate Friday.
The bill was introduced by Sen.
Clarence Ward, (R.,) Santa Barbara.
Ward contended that the tax on ice
worked a hardship on California
growers who must compete in east
ern fruit and vegetable markets with
products from Florida and Texas,
states which have no ice tax. The
tax loss TO California will amount
to $4,000 to $23O,000 a year, Ward
estimated.

whole world security may break
down at some critical moment.
Extremists are perhaps exagger-
ating both positions. A study of a
hundred years Of conflicts which
have led to worldwide dangers indi-
Gates very few instances, If any,
where there was not time for ample
consideration by the Congress.
Upon this I offer the tentative
suggestion that this power should
not be given to our delegate on
the security council, but to the
President. And the President should
be required to secure the majority
vote Of the joint Foreign Relations
Committees of the Senate and the
House on whether the issues should
be submitted to the full Congress.
Thus Congress would have q voice
in determining both the urgency and
the dimensions of responsibility. In
minor and urgent undertakings
there would need to be no full con-
gressional action. If action means
war with great power, the approval
of the whole Congress is essential.
My seventh proposal ror action at
San Francisco does not as much
concern that text as the procedure
of the governments in this crisis.
I have time and again urged that
we should not attempt to determine
final organization for lasting
peace until we have laid secure its
foundations in the postwar settle
ments between nations.
We should take time to cool of
from the hot emotions of war. Our
Indignation may lead us away from
stern justice into vengeance. Victory

ornaments at some future time, and
the time never came so far as the
efforts of the league were con-
cerned. Therefore there should be
incorporated in the new charter Of
United Nations a much more definite
program for limitation of the size
of military establishments in the
United Nations than that provided
in Dumbarton Oaks If we are not to
repeat this failure of the League OF
Nations.
Powers Of Council Delegate.
My sixth proposal refers to that
most thornyaquestion for the Amer
lean people of whether the American
delegate on the security council will
be given the authority to make war
This is no doubt outside the pro-
visions of the charter, but 1t will
face the Senate when that treaty
comes up for adoption.
I cannot bring myself to the
delegation of such power to any one
human being. That Is what hap
pens If he votes to apply either
economic sanctions or military force
against an aggressor. The most vital
determination that can be made
under the democratic process is
war. 1t means thousands OF our
people are sent to death in foreign
lands.
To give that power to some one
man who represents us is the mega
ton of the democratic process. The
other side of the question, however,
is that to delay decision against an
aggressor presents dangers that the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-03-28

with vengeance means Ultimate dis
aster to the victor. We cannot have
both peace and revenge.
The men who led the world into
this war should be hanged for MUIR
der and those guilty Of other crimes
must also be punished, but the
masses of great races must be given
a chance to enter the paths of peace
where fear, hate and revenge may
be turned aside and die. Our pur-
pose must be to create a regime of
law and justice in the world, not
regencies of hate.
We do not know the shape of
things in the immediate settlements

great wisdom II the peoples Of the

You good people of Lincoln coun-
ty who are finding it most diff
ficult to get any meat at all should
be interested in the fact that the
farmers of the nation responded
magnificently to the need for in
creased production.
In 1914 total meat production was
SO per cent above the annual av
erage five-year production. How
ever, meat production in l945 will
be about per cent below the 1914
production, caused largely by de-
cline in pork production. (Pork is
about half our usual meat supply.)
Beef production in 1915 will be
above that of 1914, and the nation
has more cattle than ever before
80 million head
Despite the good record by the
farmers, there is serious meat
shortage Many factors enter into
the cause therefor. But congress
sional committee says the shortage
is due to poor management by those
at the head of the nations food
program.
OPA says shortage is due TO:
Military needs have not been cut,
lend lease is taking about per
cent Of the total; people in liber-
ated countries are starving and
must be fed; Americans, with larg-
er earnings, are eating more meat
than ever--When it can be had.
