II. Within a few months
after Pearl Harbor, the late
Joseph B. Eastman, then
head Of the Office of De-
fense Transportation (an
agency abolished many years
ago., issued an order pro-
hibiting any more conversions
of streetcar lines to bus
routes, and prohibiting the
sale of copper wires and steel
rails for scrap when they
could be used to support
transit operations. Moreover,
ODT channeled scarce mate
rialS to transit systems for the
maintenance, restoration and
extension of street railway
and rapid transit lines.
In many cities, ODT was
responsible for the reconver-
sion of bus routes to street.
car lines; for prohibiting the
use of buses on carlines dur
ing night hours, and for
abandonment of bus routes
for the duration of the war
on streets paralleling car
lines, On some systems, de-
spite these measures, fuel
shortages prevented full and
continuous bus service on
certain routes where it was
legally permissible.
In view of the vulnerability
of our oil refineries to bonn
bardment, and of ocean-go-
ing tankerS to enemy sink
ings, we respectfully urge
President Kennedy to prevent
conversion of D. C. Transit
Systems remaining car lines
to bus operation; to ask Con-
greSS for additional legiSla-
ton where needed; to re-
establish the Office of De-
fense Transportation, and to

Powell may wish to seek a
senatorial nomination. There
has been some speculation
that the Governor will either
appoint or have himself ap-
pointed to fill the Bridges
Senate seat, in preparation
for an election campaign.
Senatorial nominations will
be made in New Hampshire
in primary elections to be
held in September - which
gives ample time for potential
candidates. both Republican
and Democratic, to make up
their minds and to campaign.
The Democratic Party in New
Hampshire needs a lot Of
added steam if it is to figure
we'll in next years congress
sional and gubernatorial
elections. 1t even lost the
election Of a Mayor Of Man
chester-a Democratic strong
hold usually-to a Republi-
can this fall. AS of today.
strong Democratic candidates
for high office have not ap-
peared on the political hori-
zon.
An Influence in Party
Senator Bridges was a
tower of strength in the con-
servative group Of Senate Re-
publicans, although he never
sought or held the floor lead
ership. But back Of the scenes
he welded great power. This
was true when it came to
picking the key officers of
the party and also in max
ing party policy. The more
liberal G. o. P. Senators have
knocked at the door a num-
Der of times for leadership
but have been turned back.
Senator Dirksen of Illinois
was selected for the leader
ship post by the conservatives
when former Senator Know
land of California resigned to
run for Governor. Senator
Dirksen, however, went along
with President Eisenhower,
when some of the conserva-
tives did not. The Republican
Policy Committee chairman
ship was firmly in the grip
of Senator Bridges.
The Craftsmanship Of the
Republican Conference of the
Senate has been held by Sen
ator Leverett Saltonstall of
Massachusetts,, and he may
be the choice Of the Repub-
licans to become chairman of
the Policy Committee, ac-
ceptable to both conserva-
tives and liberals, unless the
liberals decide to put up
Senator George D. Aiken of
Vermont. Senator Kuchel of
California, the present assist
ant leader and whip. is re-
garded as one of the liberal
or progressive Republican
Senators. He must stand for
reelection to the Senate in
1862 and will have his hands
full, with his duties in Wash
ington and the need Of
strengthening his political
fences at home.
Senator Bridges always
stood for what he considered
the best interests Of the
country and of his party
thereafter. He was a square
shooter and greatly liked and
admired by his colleagues.

Q. Can an apple tree con-
tinue to live after it has
been followed out by decay
or insects? i M
A. Many hollow apple
trees continue to live and
produce fruit for years after
their heartwood has been
destroyed. The reason is that
the center of any mature
tree is deadwood, serving only
as a mechanical support for
