AS he did in his challenges to
the others, Gov. Warren said he
would like to ask Senator Hunt

machines, dice tables and roulette
were operating openly in Jack

were running in a Casper drug
store and in restaurants, filing
stations and bars in numerous
Wyoming towns
Gov. Warren, who has repeatedly
denied the Senate committees &C
cuSations of gambler influences
in his own administration, asked
why the Senators haven't held
hearings in Wyoming.
He asked why Senator Hunt
stopped the Tampa hearing sud-
denly in midafternoon, while
many witnesses were waiting to
be heard, 49,.
Senator Hunt was the only
member of the committee at the
Tampa hearings. After two days
Of testimony. and with State At

Cab Business Booms
But Hackers Complain
OF Parking Practices

An estimated 5000 taxicabs
were doing a banner business to-
day, but hackers loudly COM
Iplained that haphazard parking

limiting their progress to a crawl.
Yellow Cab Co. officials esti-
mated calls for service were so

levels. But, officials explained, the
amount of business couldn't even
be estimated. as taxis plying regu-
lar streetcar and bus routes car
ried full loads downtown on nearly
every trip.
Rail Arrivals Handled.
A Diamond Taxicab Co. official
came up with the 8,0OO-cab esti-
mate. At Union Station an official
of the company was on hand to
direct rides for those arriving in
city by rail. He said the dispatch
ing went smoothly, but worried
whether traffic jams would enable
cabs to return.
The heartiest traffic-jam COM
plants, however, came from the
cabbies themselves, according to
Mrs. Lucy Jones. chief dispatcher
for Combined Cab Services, Inc.
which handles calls for more than
1000 cabs Of II companies.

she said. THE drivers tell me

Mrs. Jones said the most con-
gested areas were on Fourteenth
and Sixteenth streets NV, from
way out all the way in to the
downtown sections"
Despite the problems, however,
the dispatcher said there was only

a white under-garment, white for

Ten Years Later:
.Omcial Navy Photo.

In the 10 years since Pearl Harbor,
America telescoped the experiences
of a century and more.
1t fought the greatest and bloodiest
of all its wars, saw the destruction
of the military regimes in Japan.
Germany and Italy, and emerged as
the most powerful Nation on earth.
AS such, it has been thrust into a
position of leadership, superseding
the older European nations, and even
the British Empire
It is, and must be. the principal
target marked for destruction by any
future aggreSSor.
Even so, some traces Of pre-Pearl
Harbor thinking still persist, and
some of the attitudes of that day
are still in existence.
One is the concept of deterrent
force" Ten years ago, the word was
almost as current in the language of
international relations and strategy
as it is today. The feet was sent to
Pearl Harbor as deterrent" to
another potential enemy.
In 1941, many American soldiers
and sailors doubted that the mere
presence. in Hawaiian waters, of the
American warships would deter the
Japanese. In 1851. many American
military men doubt that the mere
possession of the A-bomb will deter
the Russians, if they decide to move.
There is also talk of amazing new
secret deadly devices" etc. The vision
of a push-button war still exerts an
almost irresistible fascination, en-
couraging false sense of security.
American military men warn that
1t is less than realistic.
But on the whole, the differences
are far more striking than the
similarities between the American of
1851 and 1941.
Gone Is the sublime and wonderful
confidence that American boys, plus
Americans arms, plus American pro-
duction, can make short work Of
any and all enemies Korea alone,
apart from Kasserine Pass, the
Bulge and Okinawa, cleared away
. that mental debris.
Gone. too, is the reliance of dis
tance. Americans have steeled them
selves to the knowledge that if war
comes it may bring their own cities
under fire. And they have tried to
prepare for this.
In 1941 they expected a warning.
