FREIGHT:
Want More Cars

For the fifth time in three years,
Senator Reed (Rep., Kas.) acted to
alleviate the shortage of box cars
in the West caused by the reten-
ton, of rolling stock in the East by
seaboard railroads.
AS elevators and millers clamored
for cars to move grain stacked in
the West, Reed threatened to draw
up permanent legislation to relieve
what has developed into perennial
problem in recent years.
The shortage of rolling stock re-
sulting from inadequate additions
during the war years has figured in
the scramble for cars between East
and West. Once cars roll in from
the West with agricultural products.
eastern railroads have sought to
hold onto them as long as possible
for shipment of industrial goods to
seaboard points. Because the rail-
roads also are loath to send the cars
back empty, valuable time is lost
by shunting them westward with
short loads.

Scientists Await Eclipse

The total eclipse of the sun on
May 20, which National Geograph-
ic society-army air forces expedi-
ton will observe in Brazil, bears
special Importance for scientists be-
cause it will be the longest for eight
years to come.
During the brief eclipse the OBJ
servers will work rapidly but pre-
cisely to take photographs. make a
host of measurements and record all
possible details OF the phenomenon.
To astronomers, who can expect
to devote only an hour or so of their
lifetime to witnessing total eclipses,
every second of darkness counts. At
Bocayuva, Brazil, the little inland
town where the expedition will head
quarter, the moon will come between
the earth and the sun for three min
utes and 81 seconds.

ATOM:
Blast Leaks

The government itself is guilty of
the most serious breach of atomic
secrecy, David E. Lilienthal, chair
man-designate of the atomic energy
commission, told a senate commit
tee.
Declaring that the greatest dam
ger of atomic leaks lay in scientific
discussions, Lilienthal charged that
the government sponsored Smyth re-
port released after the bombing of
Hiroshima gave away more infor-
nation than any other single source.
The document described four ways
for splitting the atom.
Meanwhile, Warren Austin, U. S.
delegate to the u. S., assured re-
porters that this country would di-
vulge no atomic secrets until proper
international control is established
to regulate use of nuclear power
Until effective world disarmament
is accomplished, Austin said, u. S.
security lies In universal military
training,

LABOR:
Pay Equality

Announcement by the department
OF labor that special commission
had simplified job classifcations
and ironed out rate inequities in
the Big Five packing plants pointed
up the growing acceptance of the
principle of equal pay for equal work
in U. S, industry.
Consisting of representatives Of
the public, government, industry and
labor, the commission cleaned up
differences between Swift, Wilson,
Cudahy, Armour and Morren and
the AFL, CLIO and independent un-
ions over rate inequalities. The COM
panies and unions had agreed on
conditions for 10000 jobs in collec-
tive bargaining procedure, and the
commission acted on the remaining
10000 jobs.
The number Of labor grades car
rying varying pay rates was cut
from $50 to Is under the negotiations
and wage boosts averaging 18 cents
an hour were awarded to approxi-
mately $4,000 workers to iron out
inequalities. In general, packing
house employees doing the work in
the same geographical area now
draw equal pay.
Previously, the CIO-United Steel
Workers and u. S. Steel corporation
had ironed out wage inequalities for
$4,000 employees. Retroactive to
January 4, 1914, the cost of readjust-
ment was estimated at 80 million
dollars, with many workers receiv-
ing the equivalent of a 1h cent an
hour wage increase.

PALESTINE:
Trouble Bre1vs

Having heretofore let the British
handle the troublesome situation in
Palestine occasioned by Jewish de-
mands for national haven in the
Holy Land, the Arabs prepared to
play more active role in opposition
to London's decision to create a
Zionist state in the embattled coun-
try.
AS the majority in Palestine, the
Arabs have fought increased Jewish
immigration or partition for econom-
ic as well as political reasons. Be-
cause the Arabs charge that the
country is not productive enough to
stand a large-scale increase in popu-
lation, the U. S. and Britain sought
to answer this objection in earlier
discussions with promises of a SUBJ
stantial loan to develop the nations
industrial and agricultural re-
sources.
While the Jews forced the British
into consideration of Zionist state
by keeping the Holy Land in turmoil
with terrorist campaign, the
Arabs also could turn on the heat.
In addition. they command the full
support Of the Near Eastern Arab
league, embracing 80 million Arabs
whose dominance extends to oil rich
countries In which the U. S. and Brit
ain have heavy Interests.

CONGRESS-:
Retain LUXURY Leuies

Bent on trimming income taxes,
the Republican congress moved to
preserve other sources of revenue to
carry the huge 1947-48 budget and
reduce debt by extending wartime
rates on luxury items.
AS result, taxes on liquor were
scheduled to remain at SO a proof
gallon; 20 per cent on furs, luggage,
jewelry and toilet preparations; /
cent for each cents charged on
theater admissions; So barrel on
beer; Is per cent on long distance
telephone calls and Is per cent on
local service; Is per cent on trans
portation, and 20 per cent on light
bulbs and tubes.
Meanwhile, Republican ranks were
split on the proposal of Chairman
Knutson (Rep., MIMI of the house
ways and means committee to re-
duce income taxes 20 per cent on
earnings up to 100000. Increasing
favor was shown for the sugges-
ton of Representative Engel -(Rep.,
Mich) that exemptions be increased
to cut the taxes of low income
groups rather than offering broad re-
lief which might chiefly benefit the
upper brackets.
Declaring there are nearly Sc
million people dependent on individ-
ual or family income of $4,000 or
less a year, Engel said that Knut-
sons bill would result in a tax cut
of only u cents a week for man
earning that much or less. On the
other hand, person drawing $780,
900 a year would gain $942 a week.

SOUTH:
Develop Industry

New manufacturing opportunities
are being promoted by several
states below the Mason-Dixon line
to further industrialization of the
South.
In Virginia, the governor has ap-
pointed commission to study the
problem of developing small, local
ly-owned industries to process agri-
cultural produce grown in the i'm
mediate vicinity.
Similar efforts are being made in
North Carolina and Georgia, based
on the belief that small independent
processing plants not only will fur
Their utilization of agricultural prod
ucts but also will be more to the
ultimate advantage of the states
economy than larger branch facto-
ries owned by interests outside the
South.
In Tennessee, Is communities
ranging up to $4,000 population have
set up corporations to promote their
ulOuotllCl S1OWLlls dlQCO~Oy SOCllSO1~
ing from the state planning COM
mission. Such corporations buy,
build or lease factory buildings for
suitcase or resale to industrial in
terests starting operations in the To-
cality, and otherwise encourage
settlement of new manufacturing en-
terprise.
Industrial planners of the Tonnes
see commission generally favor
community corporations rather than
public financing of new industry be-
cause uses of tax revenues as in
ducement to new industry often en-
counter statutory barriers. Corpor-
atoms, on the other hand, collect
pledges from citizens to insure their
capital foundation, and collect the
pledges If and when new Industry
is attracted to the locality.

VETS:
Resume Insurance

Veterans of World War II are put
ting back in force an increasing vol
ume of the wartime national serv-
ice life insurance which they per-
mitted to lapse.
Up to January l of this year, more
than lis billion dollars of the serv-
ice insurance had been dropped by
the veterans, but in the past few
months they have put back into
force more than 100000 of these
policies and the rate of reinstate-
ment is reported to be increasing.
Veterans administration has been
carrying on national drive for re-
instatement of lapsed service poll
cies, in which the life insurance COM
panies have cooperated, urging all
veterans to put their service insur-
ance back in force, if it had been
allowed to lapse.
Total national service life insur-
ance owned on January l was 1884,
249, $780, under 5,599,1O policies.
according to the VA. Of this, ST.
763, $685. 1000 was converted insurance
on permanent basis under 632, $40
policies and the balance was term
insurance as originally issued.

CHINA:
u. S. Out

Diplomatic eyes turned anxiously
to the Orient following the U. S. de-
cision to abandon its peace-making
in China and withdraw most of the
$4,000 marines on duty there.
Concern was expressed lest U. S.
withdrawal would invite Russian in
tervention in China on behalf of the
Chinese Communists. While Sec
Tetary Of State Marshall had dill
gently sought to bring the National
lists and Reds together during his
special peace mission, the U. S. had
proceeded on the assumption that
the Nationalist constituted the legal
government. In supporting the Ma
tionalists, the u. S. has advanced an
estimated liz to 8 billion dollars of
lend-lease, and also provided tech
nicians for training their military
forces.
Since the U. S. pulled out of China
without making any strategic ar
rangements, the Russians maintain
a distinct advantage in view of their
half-interGst in the Manchurian rail-
road and their joint control of Port
Arthur and Dairen. Russia's stra-
tegic position thus leaves Moscow
in key position if it wishes to sup
ply Chinese Communists entrenched
in the north or actually intervene
on the pretext of stabilizing condi-
tons in the Orient.

GERMANY:
Friendly Warning

Head of the Social Democratic
party in Germany, lean, hard Kurt
Schumacher i, warned the Allied
peacemakers preparing to draw up
treaty for the reich that only a
fair agreement accepted by a freely
elected regime would assure polit-
ical stability.
Boldest of the postwar German
political leaders to speak out, Schu-
macher declared that no democratic
government could risk signing Sc
we're peace for fear of reputation
by the people. Since he is the only
German political leader who has
been openly courted by the western
allies, his declaration that he him
self would not sign a harsh treaty
took on special significance.
The specter of Hitlerism and Yer
sailles hung in the background as
Schumacher warned that:
The major nations which
played politics with Hitler for
their own ends must share the
guilt of many Germans for the
rise of Naziism.
Annexation of the Saar was
the worst form of PREPARATIONS.
1t would be senseless for Ger
many to accept provisional
eastern boundary determined
beforehand by two major pow
ers.

Because of its own limited re-

Britain owing many countries for

While exports rose II per cent
