The raveIer,s Notebook
Booklet Serves as Guide to Freighter Trips

For q number of travellers, their
first introduction to the idea Of
''tramping" to ports over the world
on freighter ships dates back to the
early l930s. There was nothing new
about it at the time. 1t was simply
that a service, as old as freight
ships themselves and long known
to a segment Of sea-voyage fans,
was publicized, promoted and facili-
tated.
Through articles in newspapers
and magazines and by an aggressive
salesmanship by freighter operators,
a broader section of the public dis
covered" the fun. 1t caught on
fast. Many liked the informality,
the excellent meals and tempo
rary "loafing pace" of life; those
with a spirit Of vagabondinig and
adventure took delight in dropping
in on off-the- beaten track ports
Delays of day, or a week, in max
ing . certain port made little diff
ference. The landlubber; passen-
gers aboard-movie stars, finan-
ciers, teachers, retired white-collar
workers-usually were in no hurry
Well, freight ship voyages are
back again in travel plans-have
been, in fact, for two years or So
But, things have changed since pre-
war days. Passage prices, naturally
are up. A new luxury aboard to-
Gays freighters compensates for
this, however. Despite the utilitar-
ian character of the ships, accom-
modations are more than attractive
enough to write home about.
Principal factor in postwar freight
er travel, though, is the dificulty OF

cargo, and there are C-1. Ca, C-3,
and CA ships.
Roughly, C-2s are more luxurious
than C-ls. and C-3s more luxurious
than either. Cas- are cargo ships
designed during the war to operate
as troop carriers. They have q few
staterooms and vast dormitory
space"
Don't dream too airily about q
motoring junket this summer over
the Alaskan Highway. 1t Is not to
be. taken lightly.
Pleasure touring civilians now
may drive over the 1,523-mile route
from Dawson Greek, British Co
lumbia, to Fairbanks, Alaska, with
out a permit. Restrictions were
lifted. recently. Coincidentally, 1t
was announced that overnight facil-
tiles are available at strategic points
along the scenic strip Of gravel. But
the car owner strikes some hard
facts when digging into the realities
of the trip.
First point for the Washington
motorist to consider is that he must
drive more than 5000 miles before
he reaches the southern terminal of
the road. From the Elipse's Zero
Milestone to Calgary, Alberta, is
1888 miles, according to AAA fig
ures. Edmonton, Alberta, is 240
miles more; Dawson Greek, 470
miles beyond (and this leg Is likely
to offer some rough roads,.
According to the touring service
of the American Automobile Asso-
citation, motorists are not expected
to find the Alaskan Highway heav-
lily travelled this year. Such fore
cast indicates overnight facilities
will be ample to care for all motor
ing parties. In this connection, the
AAA repeats the caution given the
last two years to permit-holders:
Travellers cannot expect assistance
in the matter of food and shelter
+ from maintenance camps along the
highway"
Lifting of the permit requirements
invites a danger each motorist
should avoid. The permit system
imposed rigid car inspection on all
applicants.

not enough accommodations to
meet the demand. The space is
being taken up largely by business
and necessity travel, and the pleas

consideration.
Not every travel agency is inter-
ested In bothering with booking
these clients. The business is q
headache they do not willingly as

thusiast, working out plans him

can meet with exasperating delay,
and changes in sailing plans. Some
operators do not maintain the Of

passenger arrangements, and adopt
an outward policy of not accepting
reservations. !.
Perhaps the first practical ster
for the novice in working out full

acquisition OF little booklet en-
titled Travel Ways" Published by

for the old-time freighter passenger

Harlan Publications, incidentally
doesn't sell trips. The booklet simply
gives information useful in working
out freighter passage, and names

Typical of the booklets informa-

as to the number, sex and age OF

now approach him with the utmost
f1attery, vying with each other
through their italian supporters for
his suffrage. Each and every one
of the Italian people-including the
poorest, the most humble and the
illiterate-has become immensely
important to the greatest and most
powerful of states.
There is something awesome In
this-in the power held by the ex-
enemy common man." which can
not be taken from him as long as
he retains freedom of political
choice. The power to choose vests
him with immense dignity and i'm
portance. The retention of the
power to choose is the element Of
his freedom, and the essence of his
power.
That Is the chief charge against
communism and all forms of the
totalitarian state-that they remove
from the people the power ever
again to choose. To vote for them
is tantamount to political death,
even if the vote Is cast In the hope
Of heaven.
People Can Retain Choice.
II the Italian people choose west
ern democracy rather than eastern
communism, as I think they will
in considerable majority, they will
retain their power of choice. In
the democratic process, nothing
is final. There will remain q
hard, fervent, core of. dissenters
from the process and purpose OF
western democracy who will con-
tinue to challenge and to try to
reverse the decision. Democracy,
therefore. unlike totalitarianism
must fulfill at least some of the
hopes 1t engenders and deliver on
some Of It's promises. It cannot
close the chapter by sitting mouths.

Stassen CANDLES in Ohio
Relies on Attracting Labor Vote to Make
Good Showing in Taft's Home State

Mr.. Stassen handles the Taft
Hartley bill amid the smoke of Ohio
industry. He testified for 1t with
certain amendments, some OF which
are not adopted, and is still calling
for various changes. It Is worth
remembering always that there is
as yet not much evidence that the
rank and file of labor burns against
the bill-the Kentucky election was
an exception.
Only this week Illinois primaries
indicated that labor was staying
home. It always is hard, of course,
to rout them out to vote against
some one, rather than for, as Mr..
Stassen hopes to do.
Nationally, with Mr.. Wallace in
the picture, the labor vote Is not so
important. He will split it anyway.
But Senator Taft cannot afford Ohio
losses: he already is hexed with the
he can't get votes" label which
makes him President Truman's fav-
orite Republican candidate. TIE
Senator, incidentally, returns the
compliment-he hopes Mr.. Truman
will be renominated.

To Encourage Democracy in the East
Western World Must Open Doors Again

We Should Open Doors.
No one knows how great was
Americas contribution to peace
during the last century by providing
a vast European outlet through i'm
migration. The first iron curtain
was rung down, however, when the
western world closed its doors to
mere cracks. Unless doors are
opened again, democracy will not
survive in Europe. There are doors
that could be opened here. in Latin
America, and in the British Com
monwealth. There Is Alaska, too
which would attract Northern Eu-
ropeans.

This Changing World
Must Evacuate Dependents in Berlin
Or Risk Their Becoming Soviet Hostages

ton, Of weakness on our part or as
an indication that war now has be-
come inevitable.
Moreover, Gen. Clay maintains,
the suspicious Russians in the Ber-
lin Kommandatura might interpret
such removal as sign that
America Is preparing for war, and
might use it as a pretext for precipi-
tating . showdown. This point OF
view is shared by State Department
policy-framers, who believe that all
the diplomatic means OF restoring
good relations with Moscow have
not been exhausted yet.
While these arguments are not
discarded altogether in many con-
gressional and military quarters
there Is q strong feeling that the
security Of several thousand Ameri-
can women and children must take
precedence over any other psyche
logical-military" considerations.
Country Unaware Of Danger.
It is pointed out that neither the
executive nor legislative branches OF
the Government could ever satisfac-
torily answer the wave of popular
indignation If these dependents
should become Russia's hostages.
At the present time the country
at large is unaware that many
thousands Of American women and
children are in areas where serious
trouble might occur, such as Ger
many, Korea and Trieste.
If by some rash Soviet act these
people were to be captured and
placed in strategically important
Russian areas, the country would
ask the Government to account for
what then would be described as
criminal negligence and lack OF
foresight.
In those quarters where it Is urged
that the dependents be removed
from Berlin-which is now an island
surrounded by masses Of Russian
soldiers-it Is pointed out that re-
cent interference by Russian au-
thorities with our lines Of communi-
catlOn, ana prospects tnaC Sucn III
reference might increase in the
future, are sufficient arguments to
counteract the psychological mill
tary" considerations set forth by our
authorities in Germany.
1t also Is pointed out that the
Russians themselves early this
year removed from their zone in the
occupied city all their own depend
ents. In answer to the argument
that the high command in Moscow
might take advantage of an evacua-
tion-even If it were done on the
quiet-to construe it as showing ag-
gressive intentions, it is contended
that the Russians could find ample
excuses any way to justify their ac-
ton If they do determine to break
the peace by some overt act.

at q low point in his campaign and
caused him to discard the protocol
against competing in favorite-son
States.
Surely the hundreds Of thousands
of workers in their mines, mills and
factories would seize any weapon
with which to belabor Senator Taft.
In retrospect it seems rather in
nocent of Senator Taft to have ap-
pealed to Mr.. Stassen to abide by
Emily Post in. the matter and call
it of.
Action Starts Next Week.
Starting next week, both contend
ers will begin their assaults upon
these citadels, which are somewhat
left Of the normal Ohio Republican
line-so much so in fact that Sen
ator Taft now comedies Mr.. Stassen
will fall heir naturally to five or
six delegates. Beyond that line,
however, he admits danger lies.
While these Ohio regions yielded
roaring majorities for Franklin
Roosevelt, there is much Republican
labor among them, including rail-
road workers and strong AFL unions.
Most CIO members are Democrats
or Wallaceites.
Ohio. law, unfortunately for Mr..
Stassen, makes it difficult if not i'm
possible for Democrats to cross party
lines and vote against Senator Taft.
Directed at just such shenanigans,
it provides that you must either be
registered with the party whose pri-
mary you enter or swear you voted
for q majority of its candidates at
the last general election. Such
sworn statements are subject to
challenge and violators are subject
to the laws against perjury.
Really far-left labor would prob
ably prefer to stay home anyway
and help Senator Taft. Henry
Wallace let slip some time ago his
preference for Senator Taft,s foreign
policy views, which still are tinged
with isolation.
Labor Has to Forgive.
Regarding Mr.. stassen, labor also
has something to forgive and for
get. In 1898 they inveighed against
his cooling of period" labor bill in
Minnesota in terms reminiscent Of
present attacks on Taft-Hartley.
That bill is also large part Of the
reason why labor and liberals turn
a wary eye on the young man who
generally is accepted as the incarna-
ton of progressive Republicanism.
1t never became, however, q really
burning issue and has been entirely
superseded as target by the ma
tional statute.
