REFERS, all the road
jockeys speak ''truckese''
AFTER six transcontinental auto
N mobile trips and more than
half a million miles of motoring
in 48 states, I've discovered three
cardinal truths about the spinners
and jockeys who drive trucks.
First, few of them are line hop
pers or straddlers. Most of them
will give you the road promptly
whether you're a traffic whipper,
a dynamiter who's flying too low
or a more careful driver beating
her on the back to get somewhere
in a hurry.
~Drown II in Java"
SEcoND. if you tie it on or drown
it in java where they do, you'll
probably get the best and least
expensive food on the road.
Third, whether they're driving
candy wagons or bundle -buggies,
or scows with tag-alongs, they all
speak "truckese," picturesque
and descriptive language of the
highway.
It's a language with an ever
growing vocabulary and, in its
purest and most voluble form,
flows along the worlds most
heavily Travelled trucking road,
US. /, south from Jersey City.

PIN Her Ears Back!''
ARTHUR DALEY

Along this road travel thou
sands of local cackle crates, reef
ers, tippers and sand hacks, truck
ese for poultry trucks. refrigerated
trucks, dump trucks and sand and
gravel combinations.
Covering longer distances are
the scows, the boxes, blimps and
tag-alongs - the big tractor and
trailer outfits.
s'That steamboat looks as if
it's been around the Horn' is
a Diesel job that's piled up
mileage. And a sycamore with
friendly tenders is a truck with
sagging springs and mudguards so
loose that they wave to everybody.
Jockeys and spinners may carry
swinging loads (big, heavy loads
or merely a load of wind or pack
age of balloons (big, light loads).
They may also be delivering a load
of post holes (returning to their
terminalempty).
When they glide to a stop,
they're "pinning her ears back" or
bleaching her." Or they may
clamp on the binders and throw
out the anchor" which is applying
brakes.
WAITING Gravel"
If A highway is being repaired
they may have to 'eat gravel" on
detour. If they get stuck in the
mud while so doing, they'll try
"froggin'," slipping the clutch
with the throttle full on before
thrown the hooks" (chains)
over the "waffles." If the tires are
undersized they're not waffles but
rubber bands.
The jockeys ability to ex-
press himself in truckese ex-
tends to passenger cars. To him
an ancient jalopy is a crate with
an armstrong starter" something
of hand-cranking vintage.
A car that has been dented in an
accident is a Cracker" and if it's
a wreck it's been sold out to the
Yankees.
As for cratic Sunday drivers,
what the jockey calls them is not
truckese. It's unprintable.

the workers Of the world must
turn TO Russia.
Such a statement indicates
either one OF two things, that
Mr.. Wallace is either totally
ignorant OF the Russian and
American systems, or he is
deliberately attempting TO mis-
lead the laboring people OF
America.
This is in line with the rec
commentators of some of the
Clio leaders. The following
comparison should be enlight-
ening to Mr.. Wallace and those
who subscribe to his doctrines.
In the United States, a work
er's weekly wage can buy 1894
one-pound loaves of bread; in
Russia, the workei's weekly
wage will buy % one-pound
loaves. In the United States,
a workers weekly wage can
buy 276 quarts of milk or 503.7
pounds of sugar or Z pairs of
shoes; while in Russia, a work
er's weekly wage can buy on

sion. For il is realized that if
such an effort were made at
this stage Of the session that
it would be easily blocked by
fillibustering tactics in the
Senate by Southern Senators.
Presidential Succession
Upon the death of President
Roosevelt, and the automic as
tendency to the presidency by
Vice President Truman, a va
cancy was left in the office of
the Vice President, which un-
der our system, is not filled
by an election.
President Truman, last year,
recommended to the Congress
that the line of succession be
changed so that the Speaker
of the House would become
President in the event of the
death of a Vice President who
had become President, instead
of the Secretary of State as is
now provided by law.
During the 10th Congress
The Chronicle-star combined with the Moss Point advertiser., 1947-07-25


when the Democrats were in
power and Congressman Ray
burn of Texas was Speaker of
the House, the bill carrying
out the Presidents recommen-
dation for the Speaker passed
in the House, but the Senate
took no action.
However, both Houses have
passed the bill by overwhelm-
ing majorities, and the Presi-
dent has signed it. This means,
of course, that now should Pres
ident Truman die or become
disqualified, the present Speak
er of the House, Congressman
Martin of Massachusetts, a Re-
publican, would become Pres
ident.
American Versus Russian
Workers
The erstwhile Democratic
Vice President under President
Roosevelt, Henry Wallace, and

Russian, recently said in a

ton calendar.
Poll Tax Repeal
Among those bills on the
Republican must" calendar
is the so called Anti Poll Tax
Bill, which like Banquo's Ghost
comes up at every session. The
House Committee on Elections
has made a favorable report
on the Bill and it is almost
assured that because of the
political appeal that the bill
has for both the Northern Dem
ocrats and Republicans, ii will
no doubt pass the House by an
overwhelming majority.
AS we have repeatedly point
ed out heretofore, no fillibuster-
ing tactics are permitted under
the rules of the House, but
even the Republicans will adj
nit, confidentially, that no eff
fort will be made to get it

State Has Had Seven Years of
Good Growing Weather
and High Yields
INITIATION PEAK DUE

With one major exception, that
of broiler producers, 1916 has been
the best year for Delaware farm
ers in twenty-five years, observes
DR.. r. o. Bausman, associate agri-
cultural economist of the Univer-
sity of Delaware, in a review of
Delaware's agricultural situation.
The estimated Delaware cash farm
income of 500 million in 1946 COM
pares with S25 million in 1889, an
increase of 260 per cent. Farm
prizes have increased more than
two and one-half times. Land
values have increased 20 per cent
as compared with the pre-War I
period. Delaware has had seven
years of good growing weather and
high yields, period unprecedented
IN the history of the State. Broil-
er production even though some
what less than in 1945 is still by
far the most important source Of
agricultural income in the State.

Delaware is a healthful place in
which to live. That's the opinion
of DR.. A. Parker Kitchens, Will
mington city health commissioner,
who said that Delaware's change
able climate tends to develop its
residents physical and mental po-
tentialities. DIR. Kitchens said
that depsite the jokes that are
made about the Delaware winter,
it is actually stimulating. People
get sinus trouble in many other
states than Delaware and certain
ly no more in Delaware than any,
where else. Crimate, he said, has

little to do with the amount of dis
ease in any area. The precautions
taken are far more important than
the weather. He pointed out that
the high humidity in Florida is no
better for vacationers than Della
wares high humidity. He did ad-
NIT, however, that vacation in
Florida can be extremely healthful
because it is relaxing. But, DR..
