RY the Associated Press

James F. Byrnes, former Secretary
of State, argued before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission today
that it is without authority to force
reorganization of the Florida East
Coast Railway and its transfer to
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad.
Mr.. Byrnes, representing the AL
ford I. Du Pont estate, also contend
ed a reorganization plan which the
commission approved last April 8 Is
unfair"
The >Du Pont estate, which holds
more than $25,OO0,O00 worth of
Florida East Coast bonds, originally
applied to the commission for au-
thority to reorganize the railway
and operate it independently. An
examiners approval Of the Du Pont
plan was reversed by the commission
last April 8, when it indorsed re-
organization and merger plan pro-
posed by Atlantic Coast Line.
Mr.. Byrnes told the commission
in effect that the Du Pont estate
will go to the Supreme Court to test
its power if it finally orders reor-
ganization and transfer to the At
lantic Coast Line.

RETIREMENT?

From Mrs. T. J. D., WGShingtort.)
For the past seven years we have
been residents of Washington. My
husbands holds an average Govern
ment Job and I've tasted of some
of the glamour and excitement o1
augmenting our income by holding
q job that brought me in contact
with many interesting people. The
past seven years have finally
brought us to this conclusion: sue.
cess is measured by a persons abil'
ity to be satisfied, not necessarily
with the glamorous side of life, but
with the simple things; life passes
us by too fast at the terrific speed
by which most of us live; and final
ly, it is our duty to share some oi
our life with our children. If we
can make them understand these
things, we are doing much to solve
problems which they will encounter
in later years.
Now comes the question, how car
we 60 about remedying some of the
above. Friends of ours, native
Washingtonians, who have moved te
West Palm Beach, Fla, say thai
now they are really living. While
they were here, they merely existed

answer. AS far as West Palm Beach
goes, we feel that section will be
too much of a gamble. Although
the past few hurricanes were oi
small destructive force, the nexl
one might not be. I'm sure there
are other towns in Florida that en-
Joy the same climatic conditions
yet are not within the section usual
ly hit by hurricanes. This move
means that our savings will be in
vested in home and the small in.
come we have will go toward pay
ments. Well have to think o.
some means of bringing money ir
to our family so that the clothing
and food needs will be taken care
of.
Many readers will probably think
we are mad for throwing a Gov.
ernment job away in order to fine
contentment. I feel that life is tot
short to spend doing work which
you detest. We are anxious to make
this change as soon as possible ane
