 One cab company plans to equip its cars with radio communication, and the taxis will operate like . fleet of police cars. This will enable drivers to avoid all nfixups in pick ing passengers while on call, and will make for much more efficient service.
 Every cab company is planning to discard its. old models and buy new cars as soon as possible. In addition. schedules call for more cabs and more efficient drivers to step up the taxi service in New Or leans.

 Payments made by this group alone either as refunds to over charged customers or as damages to the Government, range from 36 cents to SCOOPS and total $2,18O, Crute asserted.
 Altogether the agency has col lected well over s300O0 in this brief period he added, but we are carrying on particularly in- tensive drive againts those meat and poultry retailers who are treat ing this period of acute shortages as price holiday"

 He is especially gratified.' he said, to see a sudden increase in the number of complaints from consumers because this proves they are aware of what's going on." Crute said he had asked Connecti- cut Price Panels to give priority to reported overcharges on food items.
 He also urged overcharged con- sumers unable to get satisfaction from retailers noS to hesitate about reporting the facts of their case to those Panels"
 As samples of the overcharges on which OPA took action, Crute men tioned Joins of pork selling at 54 cents a pound with ceiling of B cents, chickens selling at 70 cents with a ceiling of 48 cents. round steaks selling at 56 cents with ceil- ing of A cents and bacon ends sell ing at 9 cents with ceiling of 24 cents.
 Tn many cases the overcharge is only penny" the OPA chief said. But 100 sales day at this rate means a dollar and Black Market dollars accumulate rapidly when the public is willing to dismiss a penny overcharge as too trifling to bother with"

BY s. BURTON HEATH NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington, June 16.-Within eight or 10 years your transcon- tinental or transoceanic transport plane may be flying as much as 100 miles above the earth, at speed greater than that of sound. It will be powered by jet propulsion in- stead of by the internal combustion engines that now seem to be ap- preaching their attainable peaks of speed.
 These predictions are not the fantasies of day-dreaming laymen. They have been made in all serious ness, by the brilliant engineer who is responsible for the fastest, highest flying airplane in the world today, the Lockheed P-30 Shooting Star.
 Wayne w. Parrish, editor of American Aviation, quotes Hall L.. Hubbard, vice-president and chief engineer of Lockheed Aircraft Corp, Burbank. Calf, as saying that the enormous speed and efficiency de- monstrated by jet propulsion in war planes opens the door to new age in air transportation"
 The propeller-driven craft, using internal combustion engines, run into mysterious barriers when 1t is stepped up to 400 or 500 miles an hour. But at such speeds, says Hib- bard, jet propulsion is just begin- ming to be really efficient.
 Will jet propulsion make it pos sible to surpass the speed of sound?' Er. Parrish asked.
 We find that air behaves in a strange manner when it passes over a wing surface at speeds in the range of the speed of sound-about 763 miles per hour" MT. Hubbard told him. This phenomenon of com- possibility affects every surface oI the airplane, and the propeller is af- fected first because the speed Of the tips of the propeller is much faster than the speed of the plane. Compressibility causes violent vibration or buffeting. We can't ex- plain the phenomenon success fully, although we have theories as to what happens.
 UNLIMITED" SPEED
 Once this compressibiilty range is passed, however, there theoretl- cally is no limit to the speeds we can attain. But speeds surpassing the speed of sound are probably im- practical close to the ground where planes are bothered by the problem of overcoming air resistance.
 Planes of the future, therefore, probably will fly out of the earth'S heavy atmosphere to heights of 100 miles above the ground, where air resistance is negligible. Speeds at that altitude will have no limits caused by air resistance.
 Probably such high-fying air planes of the future will be rocket propelled. The Germans had a rocket plane, the Messerschmitt 163, which had no ceiling except that imposed by a limited fuel capacity and the effect of pressure on the pilot"
 MT. Hubbard predicts that jet pro- pulsion will be introduced, some what more slowly, for small pri- yate planes. He looks for an in- terim of eight or 10 years during which both transports and private planes flying at speeds under 500 miles an hour will use the internal combustion engine, while those ex- ceeding that speed will be powered by jet propulsion.
 T believe" he says, "the recip- rocating engine will have disap- peared from all new planes after eight or 10 years"

Cheshire, June R-At the final meeting at Cheshire Academy gym- nasium, Mayor Earl s. Bidwell of Hartford handed honorable dis charge certificate to the members of the Cheshire Rangers. The Rang CTS, State Guard Reserve have serv- ed since the beginning of the war and have attended training sessions in which the work of commandos, infantry and engineers was taught the members. On several occasions in company with the State Guard they have participated in maneuv- CTS in which they protected woods, reservoirs, etc. They were well led and enthusiastic and devoted much time to this work for which they received no pay and were requested ct furnish their own arms uniforms and equipment. The cost of uni- forms, especially for the officers amounted to quite lot of money. They were vot required to serve at any actual incident but from serv- ing their work in the field the opin- ion could be formed that they could be expected to give good ac- count of themselves. The unit was fortunate in the selection of officers. Captain White had served in the National Guard under the late Capt. Capt. Henry B. Carter (who was well known all over the state be- cause of his knowledge of things military also in tine state guard during World War I Lieuts Lake and Hurd are both former regular army men. Talking with the enlisted personnel of the unit 1t was very evident that they were very en- thusiastic about the work and had made good progress.

be beneficial and bring about the great
est possible opportunity to men and
women who wish jobs. How much free
competitive enterprise"-pledged in the
Murray bill-can continue If the Gov
eminent planners assume the whip hand
remains to be seen.
One of the dangers in the bill, &C
cording to Senator Taft of Ohio, Re-
publican member of the committee
handling the measure. is that too much
reliance is placed on unlimited Govern
ment spending-that the country can
spend itself into prosperity. This does
not mean that Mr.. Taft is opposed to
the objective-"full employment" He
sees in the measure, however, the pos
slbllity of the Governments subsidizing
many businesses with Government con-
troll in the background.
The President, for example, is directed
by the bill to set forth in the proposed
national budget a general program
for encouraging such increased nom
Federal investment and expenditure,
particularly investment and expenditure
which will promote increased employ
ment opportunities by private enter
prise And it adds that the President
shall recommend legislation relating to
such program. In addition, the Presi-
dent is directed to recommend a pro-
gram of Government expenditure,
capable OF taking up any slack in the
full employment proposed.
There Is an implicit threat that If
free private enterprise" cannot SUP
ply jobs, then the task will be taken
over by the Government. The final
step would be for the Government
to provide all the employment there
is. Undoubtedly this could be accom-
pllshed. 1t has been tried in other
countries, but it is alien to Ar1er-
ican ideas.
The full employment bill is full of
political implications. That the term
full employment" is a missioner is
the contention of Senator Hatch of
New Mexico, Democrat. He insists that
the bill in itself does not provide for
full employment, with a job for every
one In the United States It is, however.
what the country has been led to believe.
And under such circumstances, it will

votes against 1t. The hope is that it
will be modified and improved before

ment the Radical Socialists begin to
disagree with other parties by main
tanning that the former constitutional
law had better be re-enacted, the con-
troversy could only be referred to the
people for final decision In other
words, according to Blum, the attitude
of the Radical Socialists makes of the
referendum a practical necessity.
But here is the doubtful point. The
electors may accept the continued lead
ership of Gen. de Gaulle and show
great readiness to part with the old
constitution. But whether they will
approve of Gen. &c Gaulle's recon-
mendation concerning the working OF
the government during the period the
new constitution is being put into shape,
is. a very different question. The elec-
tors may be reluctant to invest the pro-
visional government with full power
to overrule the elected Assembly in
matters which don't appertain to the
making Of the constitution They may
also be unwilling to limit to seven
months the existence of that Assembly.
On such counts, it cannot be taken
Tor granted that the voters are going
to back Gen. de Gaulle.
+
II all through the country the trend
has really turned toward the left, an
omnipotent Assembly holding the gov
ernment in strings is, at least, posi-
bility. Would Gen. de Gaulle then re-
sign rather than put up with a les
sening of the authority he has welded
for year?
Blum does not want the premiership
for himself. His ambition, today, is to
fulfill a moral function in the interests
of public peace. He knows that his
return to Office or, for that matter,
the elevation to the supreme post of
any of his friends would play into the
hands of the pro-Vichy men still very
numerous in the upper classes. He
will be in favor of some working ar
rangement between Gen. de Gaulle and
the left. But, at best, this could only
be described as makeshift and. In
the autumn of 1916, when the French
people are called upon to accept or
reject the new constitution and to
select the Assembly for which it well
provides the era Of compromise would

Canada Evolves

Two statements in the official ad-
dress inaugurating the new Parlia-
ment at Ottawa probably took the
vast majority of the United States
public by surprise. The first of these
was that Canada proposes to have a
national flag. The second was that
its people are to have a defined
Canadian citizenship. To most
Americans south of the border, our
northern neighbor is considered to
be country very much ION its own" 2"
despite the ties which bind it alike
to Britain and to the rest of the
empire. This feeling is especially
strong in Washington because of the
presence here of Canadian EN-
basSy with full diplomatic staff and
status. 1t is thus presumably news
to US that, unlike the other domin-
ions, Canada has no distinctive ban
ner of its own, but continues to fly
the British flag, while Canadians are
legally classified as British sub
jects" Both these seeming anoma-
lies are slated for elimination in the
near future. However, the new Ca
madam flag will undoubtedly be
based upon the British, like those of
the other dominions, while the re-
defined Canadian citizens" will
continue to be British subjects as
we'll.
That latter duality of status ex-
emplif1es the amazing political evo-
luton which has gradually trans
formed the British Empire" into a
complex and variegated association
the like of which the world has
never before seen. The core of this
worldwide association of infinitely
diverse lands and peoples is the
neXus of Britain itself and the self
governing dominionS - Australia.
Canada, New Zealand and South
Africa, to which should be added the
state of Fire, which moves in an

orbit of its own. BY the statute of

OF political mysticism. Yet those
ties, legally so unsubstantial, have
proved stronger than iron under the
ordeal of two World Wars. It is
therefore to be anticipated that this
further trend toward Canadian self
consciousness will imply no weaken
ing of the commonwealth bond.
Rather is it another step in a politi-
cal evolution which has consolidated
a group of separate British North
American colonies into a dominion
within the framework of a. still
larger integration.

The World TODAY
By Pertinar

A diplomat who was lately in Paris
and conferred at length there with
Edouard Herriot, Edouard Daladier and
Leon Blum, emphasizes that, in one
respect, the three party leaders still
more or less erect on the ruins of the
third republic make Identical forecasts
as to the results of the French general
elections on October %.
They feel sure that the new Assembly
will confirm Gen. de Gaulle as head of
the provisional government They fail
to see any other man in public life who
could be chosen to take his place Since
liberation day, one year ago, the re-
sistance movements have been unsuc-
cessful insofar as they did not bring
forward any politicians or administra-
tors qualified to take charge of the
country. But to this day no political
figure has emerged to counterbalance
Gen. de Gaulle
Competent observers risk another pre-
diction. A majority of French electors
is likely to put itself on record against
the establishment of the third re-
public of the 1875 constitution. The
masses seem to have been won to the
idea that, within the framework of
democratic institutions, an altogether
new experiment must be made. They
consider that the executive branch of
the government needs to be strengthened
and ought not to conform any more
with the old pattern. The oligarchic
Senate, characteristic feature of the
third republic, is held in particular
discredit.
But the Radical Socialist party under
Herriot, the soul of the third republic
in the last 20 years, is aware that any
change is bound to go against it. 1t
tries very hard to convince the electoral
body that the 1875 constitution is un-
duly held responsible for Frances dis
aster. 1t joins issue with Gen. de Gaulle
on the referendum which, next month,
is to take place at the same time as the
election of the representative of the
people. Referendum and plebiscite, SO
runs the Radical Socialist argument,
pave the way to dictatorship.
To this argument, Leon Blum, leader
Of the Socialist party, has ready
answer. In his Judgment tha mo-
