Merger Talk Linked
To CopitoI AirIines

NEW YORK, May 19 (AP) .
The New York Herald Trib-
une today said merger talks
are being conducted between
Capital Airlines, Trans-Carib-
bean Airways and an unidenti-
fed major carrier.
The newspaper attributed its
information to o. Roy Chalk,
financier who is head of Trans
Caribbean.
Mr.. Chalk could not be
reached for comment.
According to the Herald
Tribune, the merger would
create an airline described by
Mr.. Chalk as comparable to
the strongest now flying in
the United States"
Mr.. Chalk described the
third airline. only as a strong,
major carrier"
In Financial Trouble
Capital is faced with serious
financial trouble. 1t ranks fifth
among the Nations domestic
trunk carriers.

would ask him to be Federal
Power Commissioner.
Representative Moss, Demo-
crat of California, whose
thunderous voice has often
stilled witnesses, was finally
reduced to plaintive request
for a definitive definition OF
merit"
Mr.. Corcoran said briskly,
embarking on a sentence as
long as the rocky road to Dub
lin, that you probably well
know all procedure is related
to a set of facts and all facts
are related by some umbilical
cord to the merits of a case"
1t was one of several medical
references. Mr.. Corcoran later
said piously he feared that the
FPC would become so consti-
pated by further regulations
that it would not move at all.
Shifts Emphasis
Mr.. Corcoran's contentious
ness was contagious. Within
the first hour, he had subtly
shifted the discussion to the
point where several members
of the committee and staff were
at odds with each other.
Representative Derounian,
Republican of New York, for
found himself deny
ing that he was a friend of
Tom Dewey. Mr.. Corcoran,
who called him a name that
sounded like Mr.. Geranium, "
had brought Mr.. Dewey into it
with a contemptuous reference

to him as one of those with
a long. long time sheet to
justify charges.
Said Mr.. Derounian heat
edly, Tom Dewey is not my
friend. I couldn't care less
about him and he couldn't care
less about me. He can take care
OF himself the way you can
take care of yourself"
Mr.. Corcoran smiled.
"StOp Winking"
"And Furthermore" said Mr..
Derounian, getting to the heart
of the matter, stop winking at
the chairman with your left
eye"
Il am not going to wink at
you with my right eye" said
Mr.. Corcoran.
When his turn came. Repre-
sentative Mack, Democrat of
Illinois, said he hoped every
one would notice that he had
been exceptionally charitable

Bruce Rogers Items Valuable

The ways and whims of
book collectors are of endless
variety, but for more than
half a century there has been
a steady demand for books
designed by the Indiana born
typographer, Bruce Rogers.
Probably the rarest of the
Bruce Rogers items is George
B. Ives translation OF Maui
rice De Guerin's "The Gen.
taur." as published by the
Montague Press of Montague,
Mass, in 1915.
There were only l25 copies
Of this edition issued. Bound
in boards and bearing a paper
label, the book was inclosed
in a dust jacket. The title
page reads:
THE CENTAUR. A TRANS
LATION BY GEORGE B.
IVES FROM THE FRENCH
OF MAURICE DE GUERIN.
MDCCCCXV.
Copies come up for auc-
ton only rarely. The last
one I saw listed was inscribed
by Rogers and brought S130.
Almost all the early Bruce
Rogers items bring a premium
in the market.

Rocky Sires q Family of Eiqht

someone left the door open
and Rocky went down the
steps on tiptoe. At the bottom,
he turned and saw the car
tons. He stood tall over them
and he saw the eight tiny
babies at the cafeteria.
He looked at his wife, She
stared at him with head up,
ears up. Rocky averted his
eyes. Sandy pulled her lips
back from her teeth and
growled low. Rocky swung
away and upstairs at a trot.
Until now, he had been the
master; the boss in his own
household. Suddenly, he had
lost the touch.
After a week, the eyes of
the eight opened, and they
began to Stagger around the
enclosure drunkenly.
Rocky came downstairs
again and, when he reached
the bottom, he looked at his
family and took one step to-
ward it and stopped, then
another, then stopped. Sandy
did not growl, SO Rocky kept
inching. When he got to the
enclosure, she watched him
lift his nose high and smell
all his babies. He looked at
his wife. There was a softneSs
in her eyes.
HE TOOK A CHANCE. He
reached one and opened his
mouth and picked a baby up
in his teeth. Sandy watched.
He took the baby outside the
enclosure and placed it on
the tile gently. He began to
bathe the little one-his little
one.
Rocky did this with all of
them. Sandy never took her
eyes off him. When he was
finished, he turned to 60.
Sandy jumped out and placed
her nose beside his. Then
she pushed his nose aside.
He wagged his tail, went back
upstairs.

newspapers with her teth.
The strips came off like
paper shoelaces. Sandy
worked as though she had
done this many times before.
She was 3 years old, and
these would be her first

AS a result of the obvious

trouble is he's so flattered by
this proposal he has lost his

THE COUNCILS VIEW
We doubt Hubert is con-
sidering this marriage purely
because he is flattered or
such a gentleman. The run
ming instinct is strong in
bachelors and they are
seldom trapped unless they
want to be.
The fact that Hubert has
decided he wants to marry
Dolly is a pretty fair indica-
ton that he was thoroughly
Softened up for the final on
Slaught and is a o willing,
even eager victim. We are
a bit suspicious of the story
that he was caught totally
by surprise. Come now,
Hubert-not even an inkling
of what was on Dolly's mind?
If Mrs. L. K. has no other
objections to Dolly, we think
she ought to give the mar
riage her blessing. Hubert
does not have to worry about
being the boss If he has
confidence in himself. The
fact that Dolly's aggression
did not scare him off en-
tirely may be an indication
that he is the type of man
who prefers a strong-minded
woman. However. he dosen't
have to be hasty with his
answer.

ABOUT SMOKING:

II am a moderate smoker
usually not more than a
half-dozen cigarettes and
couple of cigars a day. When
I pick up my pipe for a days
smoking, I usually dispense
with cigars and cigarettes.
To-day an acquaintance
saw me light UP. Some of
you fellows surprise me- he
said. How can you smoke in
the face of all the evidence
that tobacco is a poison?'"
In effect, this is what I
said to him: When a young
ster comes to me I tell him
that smoking is a vicious and
perhaps dangerous habit. I
tell the same to his father
and mother. But that's really
as far as I can go. I outline
the potentialities of lung
cancer and heart disease.
When they ask: HAS it
been definitely proved that
smoking is harmful?" I say:
Eyes. in some cases. My opin-
ion is that the following pa
tients are definitely harming
themselves by smoking: Ulcer
patients; coronary patients:
high blood pressure patients;
those with chronic bron-
chitis. asthma or emphy-
sema; thromboangitis oblit-
Grams (Buerger's disease).
Also those who have sinus
trouble and a hacking cough
not due to organic disease"
AS for tobacco actually
causing lung cancer and coro-
nary artery disease-the trail
is hot. but don't think all
physicians are certain of the
actual culprit. When l have
an answer that satisfies me,
will be the first to throw my
pipes, cigarettes and cigars
into the ash can. Until then 1
will continue to take my
chances-but also keep warn

dangerous potentialities.
