The author of the book took counsel
with himself. 1t occurred to him
that perhaps what Mr.. Truman
was willing to say as Vice Presi-
dent he might not wish to say as
President. He caused the adver-
tising to be withheld by the pub
Usher until Mr. Trumans feeling in
the matter could be ascertained. In
his behalf. Senator ShipStead of
Minnesota went to see the Presi-
dent.
IT meant what I said when I
gave the Endorsement" said the
President, "and I still mean It,"
And, being rather pleased by the
consideration shown himself, the
President added. You know, Sena-
tor, 1t is refreshing to learn that
there are still people in the world
who do thoughtful things like this" I"
The book In question is Justice in
Transportation" The author is Arne
G.. Wiprud, special assistant to the
Attorney General in the antitrust
division of the Justice Department.
When and if you read the book
you will understand why Mr.. Wiprud
feared that the President might find
himself embarrassed by the indorse-
ment he had written. The book is
pretty strong medicine, its subtitle
being "An Expose Of Monopoly Con-
troll" 1t digs deeply into the whole
structure of transportation in this
country, rail, highway, water and
air. 1t shows where the control lies
in every form of transportation and
reveals clearly the failure to date of
efforts to regulate transportation in
the public interest.
1t also makes clear why Gov
Arnall Of Georgia has announced
that he will go through with his
sensational suit in the United States
Supreme Court in which he charges
a freight rate conspiracy against
the South; this despite the action
Just taken by the Interstate Com
merce Commission ordering drastic
readjustment of freight rates in be-
half Of the South and West. De-
lighted though he said he is "that
at last the ICC has mustered enough
courage to throw off the railroad
yoke that has throttled the economic
development of the South and the
West" Georgia's Governor declared
Sunday that it is still necessary to
break up the conspiracy which is
operated by the railroad rate
making bureaus"
The book explains in simple Ian
guage the processes whereby railroad
rates are determined. In doing so

Here's nice little story about the
President.
A few months ago, when he was
Vice President, he was asked to read
the manuscript of a new book. The
book dealt with transportation, a
subject to which Truman himself
has given much study. He liked the
book, wrote an Endorsement and
gave the author permission to use
it. The Endorsement read:

mining of the morals of industrial workers.
 In order to exploit more fully the flexibility of our bombardment, par ticularly against German industrial targets, the Eighth and Fifteenth U s. Air Forces were combined on l January 1914 to form "The U. s. Strategic Air Forces in Europe" Lt Gen. Carl Spaatz was placed in com- mand. The component forces con- tinued to be based in the United Kingdom and in Italy respectively.
 In the late spring of 1914, sym thetic fuel plants and crude oil re- fineries became the prime targets Captured documents now show tEat the bombing campaign succeeded in reducing production between May and October 1914 to five percent of then former monthly output
 The attacke on German industry was coupled with strikes on Ger man communication. Vital rail functions and the canals which were so important in the enemy's trans portation system were repeatedly bombed. During single month May 19A-more than 300 locomo- tives and 16,O00 freight cars were de- stroyed in Westernr Europe The ef- fleets of this phase of the air assault were enormous, for transportatio and communications are the life art cries of a modern industrial state engaged in total war.
 Medium bombers and fighter bombers of It. Gen. Lewis H. Brere- tons Ninth Air Force, which moved from the Middle East during the fal of 1943, struck enemy airfields ir diversionary attacks so timed as tc reduce the concentration of enemy fighters which might oppose the passage of the heavy United States bomber formations. Diversionary fighter sweeps further dislocated the enemy's air opposition. AS the range of fighters was increased through the installation of additional fue tanks, they were employed more and more to escort bombers to targets deep in Germany.

 These results had been obtained with an American air fleet of less than 1000 heavy bombers and 1000 planes of other types. By D-Day, the strength of the United States air forces in the United Kingdom exceeded 5000 heavy bombers and G. 500 firstline planes of other types. The attacks on Germany continued with increasing intensity and shat tering power.
 The climax in air war came in February 1914, when the Luftwaffe made powerful effort to sweep our day bombers from the skies. The bat tie ragged for 8 week. It was fought over Regensburg, Mers b urg, Schweinfurt, and other critical in- dustrial centers. The German fight CT force was severely crippled, and our attacks continued with unabat- ed fury.
 Air Targets
 From the time of the Eighth Air Forces first heavy bomber attack on IT August 1942 until VIE Day, United States airmen had dropped more than 1,550,000 tons of bombs on western European targets. Dur ing 1943, following successful attacks on the enemy's submarine yards and bases, the effort of our precision bombers was concentrated against aircraft and ball-bearing manu- featuring plants, airdromes, and communications. The German fight CT command, already outclassed in aerial combat, was further reduced by inability to get replacements. The RAF Bomber Command concentrat- ed upon the destruction of the Ruhr- Rhineland industries and the under

LAST MINUTE APPEAL
MADE TO PUBLIC FOR
THE MARCH OF DIMES

With only four days left in the
annual March of Dimes" drive
to raise funds to provide treatment
for children stricken with infantile
paralysis, the outlook was that
Wilmingtonians and others in the
county would have to dig deeper
in their pockets to reach the $8,269
quota and the hope was that today,
Tag Day., would bring good in
crease in funds.
This was drawn from state
ment by D. M. Darden, campaign
manager, who said that about rs
per cent of the goal had been reach
ed yesterday, and urged that New
Hanover county residents again 60
over the goal as in all previous
drives. Members of the 'Teen-Age
club, under the direction of the
City recreation department today
will sell lapel tags, as an added eff
fort in raising funds for the cam

Should Mondays meeting pro.

STA BAN HITS
INDOOR SPORTS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. - up -
Such wartime indoor sports as bas-
ketball games, Madison Square
Garden events, hockey and fights
apparently were temporarily froz-
en- out today in Is states.
The Solid Fuels Administration
announced further restrictions on
the use of coal in states east and
south of the Great Lakes, due to
a log-jam of Winter-struck freight
traffic.
The announcement urged curtail-
ment or elimination of the use OF
coal in places of amusement.
While only bowling alleys in the
sports category were mentioned
specifically, it was later explain
ed that the limitations apply also
to, basketball games, fights, track
meets. hockey, ice carnivals and
so on until the emergency passes.
The only exceptions will be where
local supplies are sufficient to
permit sports events to continue
without danger of running out OF
fuel.
ITS purely matter of judge
ment on the part of local Off
Gals" an STA source said. but
the order certainly applies to 9TH
er indoor sports as well as bowl
ing"
Such contests might be postpon-
ed until restrictions are Lifted or
cancelled, it was suggested. 1t
may be a week or two before the
pinch is felt in some communities
The orders become effective
Sunday until further notice.
Restrictions affect Connecticut,
Delaware, Illinois. Indiana, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Mich.
gan, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Vermont, West Vir-
ginia, part of Virginia, Washing
ton, D. c., and St. Louis Mo.

fact that Ford Frick and Clari

gumshoeing in Washington doe:
not mean baseball has deserted 1t:

Prick. national league president

there is winding up a haymakel

racing people discovered the Gov
eminent slugs first and lets the
victim ask questions afterward.
In other words, they don't want
the umpire to yell play ball. ano
Jimmy Byrnes to yell yer out
practically simultaneously, and no
body can be accused of asking
undue favors who only wants tc
know whether it's all right to start
on a hike or whether it's gong
to rain.
If circumstances are such that
baseball can't operate this year,
the Washington brass hats should
have an inkliIg Of it by now, and
if they would impart this know
ledge to baseball officials it would
save tremendous worry, work and
expense.
Even the curtailed spring train
ing means quite a financial out
lay, with scores of other details,
such as printing of tickets, prepa-
ration of the parks and such, add
ing to the total. The baseball peo-
pie can't be blamed for being a
trifle apprehensive, particularly
since they have found out it is q
