REAsoN-INsTEAD OF INSANITY

Excessive and unequal regulations has
placed the railroad industry in critical
condition, is having "blighting effect" on
other common carriers, and is costing the
public hundreds of millions of dollars an
nually'' in gher-than-necessary transpor-
tation costs.
That is the substance of testimony given
by leading railroad spokesman before the
House Committee which is considering a
bill to give all common carriers equal free
dom to set minimum rates on bulk commod-
tiles and agricultural products.
In his words, at is high time that the
main reliance be placed on competition :.
rather than on regulation, which has failed
miserably." And increased reliance on COM
petition is the guiding thought behind Pres
ident Kennedy's comprehensive tranSporta-
ton message to Congress. That message,
and the remedial legislative steps it urges,
has been given the approval of shippers,
consumer groups, and all manner of other
interested parties.
The present situation is intolerable. For
instance, about year ago a Southern rail-
road sought permission to reduce bulk
grain freight rates by some 60 per cent, at
potential saving to the public in the South
east alone of about S37 million year. Red
tape has prevented and continues to prevent
action. The one and only solution is for
Congress to use its legislative power to sub
stitute reason for what amounts to economic
insanity.

AS l understand it, the ticket
you buy is Interchangeable for a
plane on any line, at any time,
provided you get back within
specified period-say one or two
months. Before leaving, there are
many things for you to do in ad-
dition to getting "a satisfactory
passport. You must take many vac
cinations against various diseases.
Hence, it is better to buy your
ticket from a regular travel agency
in or near the city where you live.
I think the airplane ticket would
cost about $1,000 plus tax. In ad-
dition you should carry enough
travellers checks to pay for the
nights you are ashore, say $500
more for one month. Consult your
travel agency on these details.
Romance OF Such A Trip
I have been to Europe many
times, including Russia and the
satellite countries also Japan
and China, Africa, and all tn
countries of South America: but l
have not yet taken an airplane trip
around the world. 1t is some
thing you can talk about before
you go. and long after you return
Only about one U. S. citizen out of
100000 takes this trip. You meet
and make interesting friends and
can learn more than you would
in. a year at any Liberal Arts
College or State University. I am
recommending it as a safe and
profitable investment, perhaps the
best investment for one who has
never travelled much.

only time we have found that we
all can do our patriotic exercises.
We're sick of hearing about h
unfit, sickly American families and
we have decided to join the band

day and become UN-flabby. It's a
simple routine we go through, but
we all do feel better for it and I'm
sure if you follow like program
you'll feel better because of it.
Mother Dickerson is here with
us this week and today we drove
over to Georgetown to enjoy the
interesting shops. 1t you take M
street out of Washington you will
come to a cross road of Wisconsin
and this area is full of specially
shops art, crafts, bakeries, dry
goods, antiques, restaurants Just
everything. Little Caldenia is a
shop that intrigued us today. They
had exquisite glassware, linens,
gift cards, toys and if you like to
roam through a houseware depart

yellow agate-ware coffee pot that
just loved. This was not an old
one, but new and they had them
in green and blue for under five
dollars. They had a nine by twelve
inch mirror in a pine frame top
ped with an eagle (that one sees
everywhere in Virginia) that would
look darling in hall or on a kitch-
en- wall and this was priced for 81.
1t would be an ideal area to shop
for something different for Christ

busy month will have time to help

EIFTEEN million fish were
L killed in 1861 through pollu-
tion-double the kill in 1900
according to a recent report by
the Water Supply and Pollution
Control Division of the us. Pub
lie Health Service.
This is only a rough measure,
according to the Public Health
Service, of the amount of damage
done. Such reports do not take
into account the effects of adding
TO a stream small quantities of
pollutants which may not kill fish
directly, but may affect aquatic
organisms that support fish life.
Nor do they take into considera-

WE EACH OWE $1,000

You owe 1000 on the national debt So
does the writer of this piece. So does the
fellow who will have (if you see this) set
it in type. So does the baby born last night
to the Huggetoblers. So, in short, does ev-
cry man, woman and child who is a citizen
of the United States of America.
All together, we now owe more than 800
billion dollars for the first time in history.
When the Treasury announced this, the ex-
act figure it mentioned was $500, 133 ,027,-
610.51. We resist the temptation to make
flippant inquiry about the 81 cents; this
is too serious for that sort of foolery. Any
way, by now the total has doubtless been
expanded another couple of billion or So.
Dollars, we mean.
One consoling thought: In World War
ii the individual share of the national debt
was nearly $500. Americans are increas-
ing faster than the debt. But $1,000 still
sounds bad enough. Anyone with ideas about
reducing that figure please get in touch with
the Treasury. But don't expect the Trea-
sury people to be pleased. They like big
figures over there.

ROUND-THE-WORLD TRIPS

Clerks and other employees with
la months vacation are now buying
tickets to go round the world as
readily as they formerly went on a
camping trip to our National
Parks. These tickets can be bought
on the installment plan with a
small down payment.
The cheapest trips are in cargo
steamers, which are limited to IL
passengers. Such trips, however,
take several months and do not
run on stated schedules. They do
provide attractive staterooms and
good food. Trips around the world
by air cost about $1,000. T h o e
making trip to South America
had better not bother with cargo
ships or airplanes but take one of
the regular passenger steamships
from New York and return. These
lines give excellent service and
cost, for a couple G in a state
room), about $4,000; and they take
about two months. Remember, it
is summer in South America while
it is winter in the United States.

BABSON DISCUSSES BARGAINS In FOREIGN TRAVEL

little more today than ever before;
but there is one marked exception.
III refer to trips from the United
States to England, ireland, and the
Continent. The competition of air
plane travel has raised havoc with
the steamship companies. Hence
the competition has reduced rates
and will reduce them further this
fall and winter
