Beach Bus Is
Replaced After
Citizens Complain

The city bus running to the
Municipal Beach Park and which
was recently taken off was re-
placed on regular schedule Tues
day following a meeting Monday
afternoon Of the Chamber of Com
MERGE Transportation committee,
citizens, bus officials and Mayor
John X. Watts.
The 81 bus company officials,
Howard Wilkerson and Buster
Van Osdol, agreed to replace the
bus on the route upon assurance
that the city will regulate taxi
cabs and their rates.
Bus officials SAID the vehicle
was removed because of "pirat-
ing" of bus passengers by taxi
cabs. They explained that taxls
travel along the bus route a short
distance ahead of the bus and
pick up persons waiting for the
bus and transport them to town
for a reduced rate.
The general consensus of opin-
ion of the group meeting was
that this condition arises from
the large increase In the number
of taxis and other factors.
Attorneys are being consulted on
the feasibility of establishing bus
loading zones, regulating bus
traffic and the number of cabs
and the rates they may charge,
members said.
Mayor Watts said the police
will begin Immediately to en-
force the existing ordinance. The
committee urged that all safety
tests be made periodically on
public conveyances such as brake
and light tests, checking of rear
vision mirrors and drivers Ii
censes and also that a policeman
be detailed to investigate boot
Logging and other unlawful OPP
erations being conducted by some
taxi cabs.
Eventually, the Mayor said,
the city will probably franchise
bus operation.

Comment On World Events

A revealing glimpse of cartel
control Of industry and commerce
in the interests of manufacturers
and financiers is given in new
research survey, Carteis in Action,
just issued by the Twentieth Cen
tury Fund, New York.
Growth Of trade-restricting ar
rangements, or cartels, among
large firms operating in interna-
tional commerce reached a point
just before the war where even in
the United States approximately
81 per cent of the mineral products
including oil, go per cent Of the
agricultural products, and AZ per
cent Of the manufactured products
came under some measure Of cartel
control.
These tentative estimates are in
cluded in the research report, pre-
pared by George w. Stocking and
Myron w. Watkins. The survey is
presented in "rase history" form
and gives a detailed examination
Of cartel operations in 8 major
fields: sugar, rubber, nitrogen,
steel, aluminium, magnesium, cleo
trio lamps and chemicals, includ-
ing dyestuffs and explosives.
Evans Clark, executive director
of the Twentieth Century Fund,
announced that the present survey
is the first of 2 reports planned in
the field Of cartels. The second
report, which will examine the eco
nomic effects of cartel operations
and will contain the recommenda-
tions for action to meet cartel
problems drawn up by an impartial
committee appointed by the fund
TO review the research findings, is
expected to be published next year
In Cartels in Action the authors
define a cartel" in international
trade as fan arrangement among,
or on behalf or, producers engaged
in the same line of business de-
signed to limit or eliminate COM
petition among them They
range from loosely defined gentle
mems, agreements or informal un-
derstanding among business rivals,
to formal compacts providing ad-
ministrative macrinery for regu-
lating output, sharing markets,
and fixing prices"

Wyatt Quits As
Program, Support
Is Withdrawn

Washington (FP)-A basic diff
ference of opinion with President
Truman over the seriousness of the
national housing crisis lay at the
bottom of Housing Expediter Viii
son Wyatt's resignation, it was
clearly revealed at a jammed
Wyatt press conference.
Wyatt said it would be possible
to complete his program of 2,700,-
COO veterans homes by the end of
1947 "by using the same kind of
emergency methods we used dur
ing the war in accomplishing mir
acles of production" He said quite
frankly he saw no chance for the
programs success without them.
"We still have a housing emer-
gency," Wyatt told newsmen, "in
fact, it remains the No. / domestic
problem of the United States. We
are reaching the peak demand now,
greater than six months or a year
ago. The emergency meausres he
recommended to Truman last Feb
ruary and which the administration
then approved, he said, or still the
measures which should follow.
He laid stress on yield guaran-
tees to builders of low-rent apart
ments, recruiting and training of
additional workers, prefabrication,
price control and ALLEGATION of ma
terials to home building. Truman's
eagerness to end cost controls on
building materials and control oxsr
materials ALLEGATION, it was made
clear, are the key points on which
Wyatt and Truman differed.
Wyatt said he felt "very defin-
itely that American public opinion
will support emergency measures
when they think they are needed"
adding that the forces of opposi-
tion to his program were very,
vocal, very well organized people,
more concerned with profit today
than ever, perhaps, the long range
welfare of their own industry"
The housing and real estate pro-
fiteers, he warned, "may easily
price themselves out of a Market"
That will leave many veterans un-
able to buy even the homes that
will be built, he said.
Wyatt's box score for 1916
through October showed $4,000
new housing units started, 100000
completed. Of these, $4,000 starts
and 341, ,0OO completions are new
permanent homes, the rest being
conversions, trailers and temporar-
les. Wyatt said he was confident
the total 1916 record would show
more than a million housing units
started, highest record since 1928.

The authors find that cartels in
clude some set up with active help
of national governments, some set
up by private concerns and some
that have secret agreements in
actual violation of the laws of the
countries in which they exist.
"But however much cartels may
differ in their structure or legal
status" say the authors of the
Twentieth Century Fund report,
they have one element in common.
They seek to free producers from
the influence Of market forces and
to subject the market to deliberate,
concerted control, by and for pro-
ducers. They represent a type of
economic planning - planning pri-
marily for the protection and pro-
motion of producer interests"
By way Of furnishing the Ger
mans for their sins it seems to in
flict hunger and disease and home
lessness on 40 million women and
children. This policy may satisfy
our understandable feelings for re-
venge upon Hitler, but no reason
able person can expect it to ere
form" the German population, or
teach them any moral less, or help
one iota toward the future peace
of the world. On the contrary, it
will make most Germans bitter and
angry for the rest of their lives.

quent on such program Staurt
