Air Mail Rate

During recent months there has been
so much talk of the probability that the
first class air mail rate was to be re-
duced to 3 cents, most people have ac-
copied the forecast as a definite deci-
sion. 1t has not been so stated in any
authoritative quarter, but we all know
how gossip takes on the semblance of
truth if spread far enough.
Now it comes about that any of US
who have taken the reduction for grant
ed are due for a disappointment, if the
plea to the CAB of one air line companv
is approved.
The Chicago and Southern Airlines
says that it cannot continue to carry
mail matter unless the rate is advanced
(not reduced) ; nor, for that matter. it
contends, can it remain in passenger
service at the current charge to pas
'sengers.
The matter is brought to public at
tention in the Wall Street column of
the New York Times, issue of last Fri.
day. Says the Times:
The seriousness Of the financial situation
faced by many of the nations airlines is
evident in the growing amount of pleas TO
the Civil Aeronautics Board for either high
er passenger fares or increased rates for
the carriage of mail. Sharply higher costs
and the considerable reduction in pas
Senger traffic are RESPONSIBLE for tho r;
nancial plight of the domestic air carriers.
The latest plea, and one of the most urgent,
emanated from the Chicago & Southern
Airlines, whose motion, filed with the CAB.
states that unless relief is granted in the
form of higher mail pay, its cash position
by Feb. l, 1947, will be insufficient 70 en-

Of Public Opinion

PRINCETON, N. j., December
26-Republican proposals to slost
government spending and cut taxes
inevitably raise the question
whether the public is willing tc
see the army and navy reduced.
The armed forces account for the
biggest single item of government
expense-about half of the total
budget.
A study of public sentiment just
completed by more than 200 inter
viewers for the Institute from coast
to coast shows that there is no
substantial public pressure at pres
ent for reducing the armed forces.
In fact, when presented with
the choice of cutting dow nthe
army and navy, or cutting down
taxes, the great majority say they
would rather see taxes left I'm

The All-American Tournament
was really an '.All-American" this
wear. The Masters individual and
open pair championships were won
by Cincinnati, the mems pairs by
Chicago, the mixed pairs by Pitts
burgh and Detroit, and the team-of-
four event by Louisville, KY. The
winning team consist of Leonard
Goren, Mary O'Brien, Joseph J.
Kaplan and R. M. Carter, and it is
interesting to note that all four
bear names already famous in
bridge. Their namesakes r the
famous Charles H. Goren of Phlla-
delphia, Maureen O'Brien (now
Maureen Bailey of San Francisco,
the colorful Life Master Fred Kaps
Ian of New York, and Mr.. and Mrs.
David Carter of Kansas City.
Their bidding and play on to-
days hand helped the Louisville
team to win the match and title
East correctly doubled South's
one-heart bid, and when his part
ner bid one spade, East had a
choice of bidding either one or
two no trump. Had he bid two
no trump, he might easily nave
gone overheard on the hand, and
certainly, if his partner held any
of the missing strength. he would
show it over one one trump.
Charles Goren himself could not
have used finer judgment in the
play than Leonard did. North won
the opening heart lead and shifted
to a diamond, which was won IN
dummy. A small spade was led
and North played low. Now Leon
ard reasoned that if North had
held the king of spades and ace
of hearts, ne would not have
passed South's opening heart bid.
East did not expect to capture the
singleton king, but he wanted to
assure himself of the maximum
number OF tricks. Confident that
the finesse would fail, he went up
with the ace of spades. When the
king dropped. he cashed three
rounds of diamonds and the queen
OF spades, then led the deuce of
spades to dummy. A small club
vas led and the jack finessed.
South Won and was forced to lead
either a heart or club, giving
Leonard eight tricks for a win on
that board.
When the board was played
against the Louisville team, East
found himself in a three-no-trumn
contract, and he incorrectly took
the spade ~finesse.

This is the situation, in this prophets
opinion, at the present time. What it
may be later is %anybody's guess. One
of the others of the 357 aspirants may
yet lead the convention procession.

 Present outlook for an imme- diate sailing of a relief vessel is doubtful, and for an early settle ment of the strike rather gloomy.

agreements in which Alaskans have no voice or no authority 5
 Without wishing to enter into the merits or demerits of these controversies, the utilization of Alaska as a hostage is an outrage. Neither side in the conflict has any right to use the actual and po- tential suffering of Alaska and its people as leverage to compel the other side to yield, and I doubt whether any red blooded Alaskan would be willing to be so used. For the moment we are relatively helpless, although believe that our ingenuity will in the long run enable us to overcome this situa- ton which threatens to be ever recurring.
 Unless we find alternative solu- tions the future of Alaska will be dim indeed since transportation is our lifeline. expect to go to Washington in few days to see whether I cannot prevail upon those in authority to find more eff fective methods of solving the present controversy than have hitherto been employed, or failing in that, to help us in the develop ment of alternative methods and routes of transportation.
 Meanwhile we should renew our own efforts .., to develop other routes of communication between the United States and Alaska which, while costly and perhaps not too effective for time, once established, help free us from the tyranny and maltreatInent which we are continuing to receive from those who dominate what was once considered the historic trade route from the States to Alaska.
 Commander Chester's message to me of this morning follows:
 Relief vessel to westward sit uation. Grommet Reefer with Alaska Steamship Company as general agent has been designated as relief vessel by the maritime commission. The only thing hold ing up placing this vessel on berth for loading is the selection of en- gineering officers. The operators demand the right to select their engineers and the engineers union demands the right to place on board engineers of their choice who most need the work.
 Thus little strike within a strike has developed. In our Fri day meeting a method of selecting engineers was agreed upon by

both sides, but the engineers union has not fully complied with this agreement. Saturday each side started blaming the other for delaying the relief vessel. but they are still talking to each other so the. situation has not reached a complete stalemate. The union agreed today, Sunday, to carry out it's agreement to furnish the oper- ators with a list of eligible en- gineers from which the operator had agreed to select the engineers if such list contained sufficient men from which a choice could be made.
 The operator has indicated that if the union does not carry out this agreement in good faith the vessel will never sail as far as they are concerned. The r union claims that, they are having diff culty in finding sufficient men who want the engineering jobs but still maintain they are doing everything possible to get a. list for the operator by Monday noon.
 "The issue has been ciouded over by the unions contention that the reported alterations required for housing crews is another method being used by the operator to delay sailing this vessel. The operators assured me that any al- terations would in no way delay the sailing of this vessel and that the selection of engineers is the only real issue.
 "H the above method of select ing engineers fails the maritime commission will probably demand that the engineers be selected in accordance with the conditions which existed on Sept. 30. This is the condition under which relief vessels have sailed from all other
