Our Class I railroads expect to spend $319,958,000 during this quarter of 1948.
 How our nation finances it's industry is an interesting story. The American way of doing this explains the high standard of living we enjoy today. Not all nations do it as we do In some countries everything is owned by the government. The government does everything. Of course, the people foot the bill, but in these totalitarian countries the rewards never come. In America everyone has the opportunity of investing and sharing in the progress of industry.
 You May Share
 Critics of capitalism" who say that government is the only agen- cy big enough to do things that have to be done in a progressive economy, really miss some inn portant points. They just don't know their American system. Did you know that over fifty million Americans pool their savings to provide the tools for workers? Perhaps you are one of them. These men and women have saved up something for a rainy day" and, meantime, have invested it.
 Perhaps you have a share in industry you did not know about. If you have life insurance, it is quite likely that your insurance company invests the premiums you pay to provide tools for in dustry. Savings banks likewise invest deposits. In this way "cap- ital" funds that our people own and invest actually turn the wheels of industry. Unfettered Growth
 Then too, industry itself saves and reinvests. Every live comp any or business will find it ad- visable to take portion of it's income and "plow it back under'' right in the business. Of money that every industry pays out for "tools," only a comparatively small amount goes to the thrifty people who really own the tools. Most of it goes to buy the actual tools. Industry has constant need for new investments for expan- sion and new facilities.
 The growth of industry has been tremendous within our own generation. The American way of private initiative and invest ment has made it grow by leaps and bounds. Unhampered, the Am erican people have seen fit to put capital into our industry, to pro- vide it with the life-blood it constantly needs. That the gov- ernment ought to take over this function, is not argued by his- tory. Russia is a country where government has taken over. Keep Security
 I say, let the people do it.

panies located nearer prospective
customers.
Many prices were quoted on .
'basing point" system just as though
the mills were located at certain
base cities instead of in Pittsburgh
or Chicago.
But that method recently was
ruled illegal by the United States
Supreme Court in a decision inI
voiving the cement industry. !,
Now the steel firms are quoting
prices at the mills and the freight
charges are paid by the customer.
The mills can quote a delivered
price as long as it includes freight
charges.
The new pricing system is ex-
pected to add from $40 to $12.72 a
ton to steel costs on steel shipped
from Pittsburgh to such points as
Boston and Chicago. The freight
rate from Pittsburgh to Boston Is
1925 cents per 100 pounds and to
Chicago 528 cents.
The new price policy would have
the least effect on fabricating plants
within a radius of 20 miles or so Of
steel producing center such as
Pittsburgh. One result may be that
fabricators will tend to locate their
plants in such areas where more
steel is produced than can now be
consumed locally.
The steel producers don't like the
new price policy.

Murder Link Hinted.
The judges verdict brought a
strong indication from States At
torney Daniel M. Murray, jr., that
the Hunter Lewis murder case Is
linked with Rocway Towers.
Lewis, an ex-convict and former
employee of the Towers, was found
slain south of Baltimore.
Shortly after Judge Clarks de-
cision, William Curran, chief de-
Tense attorney and former attorney
general of Maryland, said he had
made no decision on whether to
appeal the decision.
Prosecutor Murray in his refer
ence to the Lewis Staying declared:
"Rocway Towers has been under
my observation year or more. In
February of this year. the State
knows a man named Hunter Lewis,
an ex-convict once employed there,
was killed. The State also knows,
but cannot prove at this point, that
an ex-convict did the killing.
Patrick j. Clarke was the owner
of the Towers at the time Lewis was
killed. The State asks that the SEN
tence in his case be appropriate to
see that hereafter he make an
investigation before he leases the
property"

advisement yesterday afternoon,

PHILADELPHIA, July 14.-The
lady in green had goose pimples-
and a heart full of words.
She also wore pink petticoat, a
big diamond ring bright as flrehy
and a solemn cocoa-colored makeup
that crinkled as she talked.
But the thing that made Con-
gressWoman Helen Gahagan Doug
las the toast of the Democratic con-
vention last night was her mixture
of mature beauty and political
earneStneSS.
She was the Democratic answer
to the glamour challenge raised by
the Republicans three weeks ago
when they featured Clare Boothe
Luce as convention speaker.
And Mrs. Douglas was ready to
take up that challenge!
Man politicians may not learn
from each others mistakes-but
smart political ladies do.
Both Aware of Rivalry.
Whether Mrs. Douglas or Mrs.
Luce is the most glamorous gal in
politics is a hair-pulling question
among feminine supporters OF the
two. And the two ladies themselves
it is reasonable to aSsume-are
aware of their rivalry. Both are
former actresses.
But last night La Belle Douglas
had a big advantage. She had the
edge that any experienced actress
has after watching another actress
perform under strange and new
conditions
The new element was the magic
and sometimes cruel eye of tele-
vision. That eye turned Mrs. Luce.

to the delegates slightly like Poca-

good word for John Smith. But
on television she was as pretty as
Ingrld Bergman seen from the
tenth row in the orchestra.
Mrs. Douglas Nervous.
For all her public-speaking ex-
perience, the Irish lady in the Kelly
green dress was nervous. She stood
high on her toes and her pink pet
ticoat slipped into view of those on
the platform as she began pouring
her speech into the microphone.
Her arms trembled.
She shakes and she shouts" said
one critical bystander.
The goose pimples-or duck
bumps-came out on her firm,
rounded arm I counted them up
to 1875, and then they began to dis
appear like little bubbles on lake
of pearl.
The lady had herself in hand.

As estimated, the single-bedroom

Earlier, it was hoped to build a

however, would have involved using

1t was decided, instead, that the
house should have forced-warm air
heating with regular furnace, which
