WASHINGTON, Nov. T-(NEAD-With congress sionaI elections over all political attention now cen- ters on l948. Among the Republican Senators, Van denberg and Taft would seem to be in the lead with Senator Bricker, Governor Dewey Governor Warren and ex-Governor Stassen also in the running
 But in l048 Senator Vandenberg will be GA years old, Taft only 5o Harry Truman will also be GA in l94s Such man would be 6o at the end of his term and that's admittedly pretty old for job as demand ing as the U. S. Presidency.
 Among the Democrats prominently mentioned to succeed him in case Truman does not choose to run Chief Justice Fred M Vinson now ranks tops He will be 58 in l948
 Iiberal-wing conspirators still think Henry Wal lace can do comeback, not in l948, then in 1852 But in l948 Henry Wallace will be 50, and in lSo2 he also will be GA.
 As second choice the liberals think Justice Will liam O. Douglas is hkelest He will be 50 in l94S. only 54 in 1852
 Army Air Forces brass is still a little bit bothered by the flight of the Navy's Trucuent Turtle patrol plane from Australia to Columbus Ohio. What the air generals fear is that the Navy may be trying to muscle in on strategic bombing in the way that the Navy took over the atomic bomb for the Bkini tests.
 If the Democrats were guilty of running Franklin D. Roosevelt in the l946 elections they were also guilty of trying Herbert Hoover. Said one cam paign poster: Republican prices and Republican rents can only lead to another Hoover depression"
 The serious illness of Coy. Gene Talmadge of Georgia poses some queer political possibilities.
 If Talmadge should die before the inauguration in January 1947 the state attorney general has given opinion Sthat the present and retiring governor, Ellis Arnal would serve for another four years If Talmadge should die after the inauguration, he would be succeeded by M. E. Thompson who is now Gov Nernor Arnall's executive assistant

STAR NIGHTS
CNew York Tinesl


 November nights are star nights. The leaves have thinned away so that lifted eyes can see a whole sky, and that sky begins now to show the Winter gleam and the Winter constellationS.
 The Dipper hangs low and Cas- siopeia, the Queen, reclines in her chair far overhead. Orion the Hunter, is there above the eastern horizon, with Rigel, its chief star, bright enough to catch any eye turned that direction. And above Orion is Taurus, the Bull, with Al- debaran, its particular bright star. Still higher, and in the same quar- ter, are the Pleiades, that dim cluster which none the less catches the eye whenever it looks to the east.
 Tn the west AQuila, the Eagle, flies low, skimming the horizon, a constellation that has caught the eye of westward lockers since this land was new, caught and beckoned. Overhead, to the south, is Pegasus, the Winged Horse, which is the Great Square, though it is an ir- regular square" And all across the sky sweeps the Milky Way, growing milkier night by night, in- tensifying with the chill until, on frosty nights to come, it will fairly dance and glitter with its own brightness.
 Spring nights are balmy and Summer nights can be and often are breathless, but, the stars seem then to have retreated into some distant depth of the sky. By November the remoteness is gone. Stars sit on the next hilltop, and cancellations array themselves in the high, bare branches of the big elm just down the road. If one were to go to the far ridge and reach, full arm, one might almost grasp a handful of stars, the lesser ones. of course. But that's in November, when there is no wind save the whisper in the crisp oaks down in the valley.

ABANDONED BILLBOARDS
(Boston Post)

The Philadelphia Hotel Asocia- tion is the latest organization to discard billboard advertising, an- nouncing that all roadside adver- tising will be discontinued as pres ent contracts expire. The statement says hotel men now realize that a billboard gives the motorist little more than a flash view as he priveS past, while the printed page of the newspaper gives detailed informa- ton which can be considered at the leisure of the reader. It is strong case for the newspaper.

LaGUARDIA AIRPORTs PLIGHT
(New York Herald -Tribune)

It has long been common know ledge that La Guardia Airport, pushed out on made land into Flushing Bay, as not the most stable foundation for a great air terminal. But the engineering report released Sunday by Commissioner Frederick c. Reinicke, of the Department of Marine and Aviation, reveals that this instability represents a critical and immediate threat to the use- fulness of the whole project.
 Much of the airport is built on a solid sand and cinder fill, which re- poses on silt. The silt is not firm enough to support the weight im- posed upon it and has been steadily subsiding. If the situation is met by simply adding more fill. more as- phalt to the runways, the process of subsistence can continue for fifty years. according to the report with the danger that the added weight may cause the silt to slip into the bay, which would be as devastating to the field and its facilities as an earthquake. Moreover, many of the major buildings at the airport have been built on piles driven through the fill and silt to a stable stratum of sand. But the piling supporting the Administration Building appar- ently did not reach a good bearing surface, and that building has been settling at a rate which, are report asserts, may make it unsafe for occupancy.
 The report suggests a remedy for the airport's plight. It urges that the field be closed early in I94S 1dlewild Airport is expected to open next June) and that subsi- dence be accelerated by filter wells" so that new fill can be safely applied. The project would take about a year and would cost SIP millions. The alternative, the report warns, is the abandonment of the airport, which cost $60 millions and which is an important part of the citys scheme for airport develop ment.
 The prospect is not a pleagert one for a city burdened with finan- cial problems. The .e-.-rs !.~' ct La Guardia Airport have indeed been costly. But in v'ew of the sig nificance of air traffic, now and in the future, it would be an even more costly error to scrap the field. Although La Guardia is scheduled to lose it's primacy to Idlewild, it's role as a subsidiary field is a neces- sary one. There seems no reasonable choice. therefore, but to make the needed repairs to the field-and to place the whole program of airport development in New York City in the hands of an organization which

The State Highway Department has figured it out ac- cording motor vehicle statistics in Connecticut that women are faster drivers than That is not hard to believe for most of know great many women drivers that might be placed in this category.
 Generally speaking and generally driving however, this does not say that drivers reckless. We would place the odds the in this respect but it might just be that there men drivers than women drivers.
 The Department in its check also finds that almost one half of the the highways of the State driven be- yond the speed limit This understandable toO by those who are drivers around the State close runner up to speed demon the slow driver both menaces to safety.
