 The announcement by the Pull man.Standard Car Manufacturing Company that 1t Is planning e new de luxe living room" car to replace the old-fashioned railroad parlor car Is good news. In Q world of change nothing seemed quite so immutahle as the parlor car with It's two long rows of overstuffed chairs, comfortable enough to sit in, but not designed for long legs. Unless one inconsiderately sprawled out into the aisle, or poached on the space of fellow travellers, the man with long legs was simply out of luck.
 Apparently the seating arrange. ment in the new de luxe car will follow no fixed pattern Some of the seats will parallel the length of the car; others will face windows and some will Dc placed in Semi-circular units. Seats will be of the lounge type with reclining back, and will have 0 folding ottoman that can be used aS c leg rest. Travelling sales men, actors with the wherewithal, and others who are constantly on the 90 should particularly welcome the new de luxe car. For these, travel by Pullman Is no luxury but 0 necessity, Frequently the busy salesman has to take his rest where he can find 1t, and the living room" car sounds like on answer to his prayers.
 Before the war many railroads were winning new customers by the use of bedrooms equipped with all the conveniences of Q good hotel. There, with absolute privacy, the traveller could work, or sleep during 6 long trip. These and other con- venleces that are bound to come as Q result of stiff competition make 1t certain that travel in America will in the future be safer and more comfortable than ever before.

 That new "Typatune" has definite possibilities.

 Of course, selectivity would be iE1- portant.

industry When Alcoa said "OK" the REC and Sur plus Property boys were thrown on their haunches They are now stuck with two more plants which might have been disposed of.
 Atty Gen. Clarks report recommending that Alcoa be dissolved as Standard oil was diesolved some years ago. is truly sensational What B sig nificant, however is that in recommending the re organization of Aicoa Into 6 number of competing companies the attorney general came to the concu- sion that any government subsidies profit guarantees or favorable leases to competitors Of AIcoa would never solve the problem. Competition VIII never become healthy enough to stand on It's own legs" wrote the attorney general, If t Is dependent on so much nursing and propping by government"
 The question may be raised as to what right the attorney general has to recommend that any corpora ton be dissolved. Not even Congress can order Q corporation dissolved That something for the courts Royernment-oWned plants are disposed or ana the postwar degree of AlcoaS dominance in the aluminium business can be determined Clarks gratuitous opn- ion may therefore be considered prejud1cial to tne case And if the government can't dispose or tne suE plus plants the case drags on forever.
 There Is a further ball-up, in that Clarks report to Congress knocks out the props to the REQ, small Business Committee and Surplus Property Board ideas for setting up and backing other compeutorS or Alcoa. ., ...,
 Reynolds Metals, Henry Kaiser, Columbia Metals and the oln corporation are all reported So nrve made tentative offers to operate surplus aluminium plants on a lease basis, the government guaranteeing profits and assuming losses If any
 The net result of this battle royal in which Tour departments of government have ganged up on Acoa, Is to create confusion instead of stability in the aluminium industry. That Is how the government mas outsmarted itself.

While the Navy's original discharge system has now been modified to give one fourth of point per month for sec duty thousands of men stil consider t inadequate, stin feel 1t Is designed to force men to remain in big peacetinle Navy.
 They also point out that the revised plan stin has plenty of jokers. sr
 For instance a commander can keep any man for i2O days if he says he needs him, 80 that six months can easily pass by the time he gets through the separation center. Also combat men generally are aged i7 to 28 And they get no credit for the gruelinE punishment they took off Two Jrna or Osinawa These are the young men Admr. Jacobs accidentally admitted the admirals wanted kept in the Navy-apparently regardless of length of combat duty His excuse for not giving combat credit was that the records were lost
 How the system works was Illustrated the other day on certain battleshp, now on the West Coast. The Navy recently issued an "ALhPAC" (An Facific) directive authorizing all ships to reduce their compe. ment by 10 per cent This was to give shore duty to deserving personnel who had served long tour of duty on board and were close to discharge.
 But the order did not have that effect The ma jority of those transferred were not men who had been overseas but those who had not been attached to the ship long enough to become necessary" to its operation. Two of the officers had been on board less than three months, but had accumulated points as a result of college training and recent marriage. They had never been in combat zone on any ship yet they are receiving discharges ahead of men who made the mistake of becoming valuable to the Navy and showing interest and efficiency in carrying out their duties
 Thus the very men who should have been kept board and trained to reneVe eXperaenceo OhACeEs' left the ship.
 Note-Navy men say that if the brass hats had taken the time and trouble to accompany their de. mobilization plans with frank public explanation of the problem there would have been less hard feel ing Instead the brass hats seem to do things back wards For instance, the latest ALNAV order about wearing civilian clothes the beach met with great rejoicing, but was cancelled few days later when the brass hats had thought out the problem and re- aliSed the consequent drain on civilian clothing:
 
 A vest-pocket edition of the Constitution of the Soviet Russian States is being carried around by ultra conservative Sen Bob Taft of Ohio, who quotes from the Russians every chance he gets. The walters in the Senate restaurant are still wearing badges marked UssR, which stand both for "U. 8. Senate Restaurant" and Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
 Sen, Homer Ferguson of Michigan received letter from young sailor last week which concluded T will be watching from now on to see you wor. %. as hard to get out of the Navy as tne NaVy aoes to keep me in" Ferguson replied: Although I'll do what can to help you you should know that no one man has the energy to put into getting you out oi Navy that the Navy will spend in trying to keep you in,"
