STANDING PASSENGERS

There is House measure, probable to be taken up todays calendar within the next day so, that strongly opposed by the Fairbanks NewsMiner The measure is House Bill 38 and here is what the News Miner says concerning it in an editorial:
 Legislation has been introduced in Juneau which would outlaw standing passengers in buses. Public transportation vehicles would be required to furnish each rider with a seat and could not legally carry additional passengers beyond the number of seats availbe.
 The measure, House Bill 38 introduced by Rep Frank Angerman, Fairbanks Democrat, as a safety measure.
 Another section states that passenger buses op- erating in the Territory would be required to have emergency exits This will have little effect upon existing transportation standards since the emergency exits are mandatory all buses engaged in inter state commerce in the United States Few bus manu- featuring companies would think of producing vehicles in conformity with Federal requirements, since,
The Daily Alaska empire., 1949-02-15

to do so would render their value as a salable modity virtually nil
 That portion of the bill which would outlaw standees is another story. It has been denounced by the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce peril to the development of public transportation system in this area.
 Buses could not be operated proftably if carrying passengers in peak periods were forbidden the Chamber noted in resolution which forwarded to the Legislature. The Chamber also informed the lawmakers that passengers automatically covered by the insurance which all bus companies are re- quired to carry and further, that no passenger on the Alaska Coachways serving Fairbanks, has ever been recorderd injured though riding standing up
 It is obvious that the increased cost of adding extra to supply seats to all passengers during rush hours would be It is equally obvious that the result would be either to drive the companies out of business or force fares to staggering levels
 Enmity toward private enterprise is not new in the present Territorial administration. But more blatant attempt than this to employ the legislative machinery to strike at a growing and necessary All askan business is impossible to imagine.
 House Bill 38 should be brought out on the floor of the House and rejected without delay

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-lR- Secretary of Labor Tobin said to- day the unemployment situation should be closely watched so measures can be taken ito head off recession should one begin to hreaten."
 Tobin was at the capitol as a wit ness before the Senate-House Eco homie Committee. That group is lolding hearings on the general eco- lomic outlook.
 Oscar R. Ewing, Federal Security administrator, was another witness. 5e said higher government old agS nd unemployment insurance pay tents would put strong brake or ne swing of the business cycle. wing also recommended that the ocial security system be extended cover additional people.

SLEIGHT OF ARITHMETIC

The gasps of astonishment being heard around the nation over President Trumans $41 1858 100000 budget might have been little sharper had the Chief Executive not resorted to some clever book keeping to keep the apparent budget total at a minimum.
 Had the budget figures been computed on the basis followed heretofore the total would have been $43 955 00000 for 1850 President Truman Topped off $2 097 100000 by the simple expedien of departing from the previous custom of adding tax refunds to the income and expenditure estimates Instead, he subtracted the refunds from both sides of the ledger
 There's no particular fault to be found with the new system of bookkeeping, perhaps but it does tend to hide $2O 100000 and made $43,955 100000 bud get look like S41 858 100000

aboard the Merci Train. People flocked to the office of the news paper Figaro for more than week to sign this book and write a message to the American people. Some wrote in English, most in French.
 Wrote soldier Il remember"
 Wrote another: France every day loves you more and more.
 More today than before,
 And less than tomorrow"
 Thousands of notes also were written to accompany gifts. And it is the hope of the men and women who sent these messages, that heir friends in America will read the notes and will want to reply. Members of the Women's World Fellowship worked long hours to help translate these notes of greet Ing by the little people" of France. They felt that, while they were poor in worldly goods, they were rich in friendship.
 Unfortunately they were not able to translate all the messages; but perhaps French classes in Ameri- can schools and colleges can con- tinue where they left off, and thus start chain of correspondence be- between the people of France and America in continuation of people to-people diplomacy.

SIMPLE, PRICELESS GIFTS


 Some priceless gifts are aboard the Thank-you Train, such as the Taveau statue of George Washing ton and the flag that flew over Verdun in 1918. But almost more precious, in a sense, was the neat ly wrapper paper parcel brought to the train by Communist lady in Paris-because she gave 1t again. st all the dictates of her political party, because she placed friend ship with Americans ahead of Com munists.
 Equally precious are thousands of other gifts which have no commer- cial or artistic value simple offer ings from the humber people of France. Aboard the train, for in- stance, is a gift from workman and his wife whose home was des- troyed during the war and who now live in an almshouse.
 For the Gratitude Train to Am erica" they wrote, we have de- cided to send our dearest possess ion, our boys full dress uniform. It went with him when he left to fight and die in France. It will now go to the United States, in token of the brotherhood pe.ween our two countries"

REMEMBRANCE AND LOVE

At first the humber people. of France did not realize that they could contribute to the Gratitude Train. The train was first organ ized by French railroad war vet erans, but later they got help from radio commentator Georges Dela- mare, who broadcast the fact that the working people of France could also participate.
 We must feel, in offering our gifts" said Delamare, that we are depriving ourselves. We must take from our personal treasure store, gifts such as only France can pro- vide. There is no more sincere way of showing gratitude than by giving what one prizes most high ly."
 One of the things the Ameri- can people will prize most highly is the Treasure Book" signed by the French people who put gifts

NOTES FROM WASHINGTON

A 24-hour, round- the-clock police guard on the House Un-American Activities Committee rooms, de- handed last year by Rep. John Rankin of Mississippi, is still being maintained, though Rankin is no longer member of the committee. Rankin demanded the round-the- clock watch after the Committee seized the famous pumpkin pap CTS" from Whitaker Chambers. Whats left of these papers after the Justice Department picked them over is locked in a safe in the Committees offices The mail at Council, Ga, is picked up by pet deer, owned ,by the postmistress, Mrs. David Johnson.
 Senators, studying statehood for Eawaii and Alaska, discovered that tile next new state won't be the 9th but the 50th in American his tcry. Back in 1784, settlers in the Tennessee-North Carolina area proclaimed new state which they named after Benjamin Franklin. The state of Franklin lasted only three years. then was carved up be- tween Tennessee and North Caro- lima.
 The Navy has just cleared up the mystery of the five Russian planes that were supposed to have landed at the Nrofolk Naval Air Station recently. It is true that five planes, painted with red tails. set down at Norfolk and were sur- rounded by a double guard, just as the rumor leaked out But the planes were American-not Russian. Their tails were painted red to dis tinguish them clearly from others, because they carried some highly secret equipment Senator Ed Johnson of Colorado has demanded an investigation of the aviation in- dustry--to find out why the big airlines keep going in the red. yet can afford fat contributions to both the Republican and Democratic parties, plus to executives.

 In the long run, furthermore, the only way we can prevent war is by people going over the heads of their governments to get acquainted with other people.
