Why that cab has to make

he explains.
1--WE told the boys to forget
about those night spot calls
outside the city, and take care
of people in town first.
I've told them to answer a call
to beer garden only when
there are no other calls on tap
and then to get full load
or nOthin'
And most of ALL" Fuller ex-
plains, I've insisted that old
people, people on their way TO
the hospital or to a doctors Of
flee get priority over calls from
those who just want to gada-
bout.
Sure, it isn't everybody
that likes that treatment. One
tavern owner called me a lot
of unpublishable names and
threatened to report me to the
OPA because we refused a call
to his place when many more
businesslike calls were ahead.
You can't win.
"We turn down more calls
than we make =. and it S so
hard to say Sorry, we can't make
your call for more than an hour
We don't like that either.
Bua people must remember that
hundreds of care in this city have
broken down, or are out of gas
and low on gas and many
who would ordinarily be driving
are walking and getting cabs
when they can. When we
turn people down, or keep 'em
waiting, it's because we have to
not because we like to.

before Christmas for California,
to live near the naval base out

each other by few hours.
After some hesitation, Mrs. B.,
preferred the second train. :.
When they reached Salt Lake

delegations here. Also on Thurs
days long schedule were nine clos
ed committee meetings, two of them
Thursday evening, setting a new
record fer a single days slate OF
conference activities.
DELEGATES LEAVE
Some top delegates, including
Soviet Foreign Commissar ". M
Molotov, already have left, conf
dent that most of the principal
hurdles have been cleared. The
conference, which now includes 4e
delegations, will greet its 49th
Thurdsay with the arrival of Ar
gentine representatives.
The conference took its first steps
toward actual writing of the world
charter Wednesday night when a
committee approved an amendment
originally sponsored by Sen. Arthur
H. Vandenberg. Michigan.
The amendment would give the
assembly-or lower hcuse-of the
world organization considerably
more scope than contemplated by
the original Dumbarton Oaks plan
1t would empower the assembly to
recommend peaceful adjustments
"cf any situations, regardless OF
origin, which it deems likely to i'm
pair the general welfare"
The Vandenberg amendment still
must be acted upon by the full
commission and by the full confer
ence in plenary session. But ap-
prOval is certain; the Big Foul
sponsored amendment and the other
nations endorse any move to give
the assembly more power z
KEY TO ACCEPTANCE
Vandenberg considers the amend
ment the key to U. S. senate rati-
fication of the world charter. With
it Incorporated, he believes he car
answer virtually any criticism
raised in the u. S. senate. Without
it, he would have grave doubts
about the charter getting the two
thirds vote needed for ratification
The only other major amendment
approved in committee was one
which will allow each country te
have five representatives in the
general assembly, but with only one
vote fer each nation. Thus if there
were so nations in the world or
ganization, there would be only sc
votes but a maximum of $50 rep
resentatives.
Despite the first signs of pro-
gress from conference committees
after more than two weeks here
there are still several major issues
which require a lot of untangling

100 PACKS CIGARETTES
AVERAGE IN u, S. in "a

CHICAGO, May l0 (U.PD-Nff1-
cult as it was to get cigarettes dur
ing the latter part of 1914, Ameri-
cans managed to smoke an average
Of nearly 100 packs each last year.
That meant more than 258000,-
100000 cigarettes went up in smoke
during the year.
These figures are given in an
article in the Encyclopedia Britain
nica's 1945 Book of the Year.
Although cigarette production
dropped slightly last year, con-
sumption was estimated to have
increased about 5lz per cent. the
article says.
1t explains the 1914 cigarette
shortage as follows:
1.-The scarcity of cigarettes in
domestic markets during the last
quarter of 1914 was attributed to
higher civilian and military con-
sumption; the building up of stocks
for the military forces, which were
taking nearly 80 per cent of pro-
duction; and the lower manufacture
due to shortages of labor, machin-
cry and some types of cured leaf"

Officers with lengthy overseas
service and long hazardous combat
service will be given special con-
sideration for release. Officers re-

may not be discharged, however
until it is established by the COM

The revised critical scores to be

during the course of the next IL

tional men may be released under

the critical scores will be adjusted

TRUMAN PROPOSES
HEALTH INSURANCE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 - Up -
President Truman proposed to
Congress today compulsory
'health insurance" system for "al]
persons who work for a living"
He suggested that the premiums
be calculated on the first $500
of a persons yearly earnings, and
mentioned four per cent Of such
income in his discussion of premi-
ums. How much should be paid
by the public through a direct
tax and how much by the govern
ment, he left up to Congress.
This is one of five points in a
health program the President out
lined in message urging careful
consideration xxx now The 9th
ers:
l. Federal financial aid to States
and localities for charging, mod
ernizing and building new hos
pitfalls and other health facilities.
2. 'More generous grants to the
States for public health services
and maternal and child care.
The sum of $20,000,000 yearly i:
now authorized for such purposes
8. Federal grants to public ane
to non-profit private institutions tt
promote medical education ane
research.
4. Payment of benefits ito re
place at least part of the earning!
that are lost during the period O
sickness and long-term disability.
Mr.. Truman suggested that tn
sick benefits could be provided
through expansion of the presen
Social Security system. He salt
he would detail this plan in ;

Admiral ]. o. Richardson testi-
fled today the late President
Roosevelt told him October 8, 1910
that "sooner or later the japanese
probably will make mistake and
we will enter the war"
Recounting a conversation with
the President at the White House,
the former commander-in-chief of
the Pacific fleet said he asked
whether we were going to get into
the war.
Richardson said the President
replied that IF the japanese at
tack Thailand, the Kraw PENN
sula, or the Dutch East Indies, we
will not enter the war;
He added that the President said
that "even if they attack the Phil
ippines, we probably will not enter
the war-but that they (the jap
anese) could not always avoid
making mistakes and that sooner
or later they would probably make
mistake and we would enter the
war;"
In an exchange of correspondence
with Admiral Harold R. Stark,
then chief of naval operations,
Richardson in 1910 questioned
keeping the Pacific fleet based at
Hawaii. ,
Richardson testified he urged the
President to return the fleet sta
toned at Pearl Harbor to the west
coast.
|, Mr.. Roosevelt, Richardson con-
tinued, disputed him on the wisdom
Of this, saying the fleet was kept
at Hawaii in order to Exercise a
restraining influence on the actions
of Japan"
Richardson said:
II stated that it might influence
the actions of civilian political
government, but that Japan had a
military government that knew our
fleet was undermanned.:'
The Admiral said he expressed
the view that 1--WE were more likely
to make the Japanese feel we
meant business if the fleet were
brought back to the west coast,
stripped for action.
Members bent forward to listen
carefully, Richardson asserted in
measured tones:
