It's the nature of Americans to enjoy a good hard fight, with no punches pulled—which is why citizens such as Dempsey, Tunney and Louis made millions with their fists. A dilly is under way now, by all accounts. It's a real main event for freight business between the railroads and the truckers. The punching has been heavy since World War II, with the railroads badly outpointed in the early rounds. But of late the railroads have effected some rate cuts in competitive traffic — resulting, to quote the Wall Street Journal, in "what might be the first reversal of the road-haulers' post-war grab of business from the railroads." Major trucking concerns, according to the Journal's review of the situation, are complaining that lowered rail rates are dealing them severe punishment in the real main event for freight business between the railroads and the truckers.

Interested spectators of this "grab the business" battle include the entire American public. The quality of freight transportation, and the rates, directly affect the cost of doing business in every community and the cost of living for every family. The lower the cost of carrying products from here to there — by whatever means of transport — the lower the price of a basket of groceries. This leaves the man in the street neutral in the fight — indiscriminately applauding whichever contestant is, at a given time, ahead in offering the best service for the least cost to the consumer. The rails, if the late ringside reports are accurate, must be hitting sharply and with skill, for they have the constant handicap of maintaining their own roadbeds while their rivals use the public highways.

The purpose they avow is simply to spend billions of the taxpayers’ dollars in the public interest by filling in a "power vacuum" private industry hasn't or cannot fill.

SONGS OF A SONNETEER BY R. LOUIS SCOTT "MYTHICAL GODS!" Man dares not damn gods he thinks fashioned him In their own image: yet the charts they limn For him to follow each prove feeble guide When passion wracks him—body, mind, and limb! Man's faint perceptions raised and deified All gods that are! Tho now they walk in pride, There once were times when each was but a thought In a waking dream—which was as yet, untried! But Mind, by its own imagery was caught In a web of teachings and dogmas fraught With consequences dire for such as dared Probe into the schisms his gods had wrought! By man-made gods, Man's thinking is impaired— For they now rule souls, which at first—they shared! SHIP OF ISHTAR—Page 39— A. Merritt Myths—25/76 AT THE CROSS ROADS Othman’s Views on Washington BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN WASHINGTON.—On Friday (unless the military issues him a special dispensation) Roy Cohn, chief counsel for the McCarthy committee, squeezes into his khaki uniform for two weeks of training with the National Guard in New York. Maybe he’ll be through testifying here about the McCarthy-Army fracas by then; maybe the management will give him weekends off to attend to his duties with the Senate. That’s ironic enough, but the topper is the fact that Cohn’s commanding officer will be Brig. Gen. Ralph W. Zwicker. The General, you may remember, is the man who charged McCarthy, Cohn and Co. with browbeating him. They retorted that, when they called him as a witness in a Communist inquiry, Gen. Zwicker was insolent. What Gen. Z. has to say to Lieut. C. when they meet in front of the pup tents, I hate to think. Even so, I trust they’ll be politer than a couple of Senators and, or, gentlemen named Joe McCarthy and Stuart Symington. For the third time, by my count, Republican McCarthy of Wisconsin called Democrat Symington of Missouri “sanctimonious Stu.” Sen. Symington flushed, said he resented that, and suggested that Sen. McCarthy had better visit a psychiatrist. And I’ve got to agree with Chairman Karl E. Mundt (R., S.D.) that, on the 29th day, the proceedings in the mighty Senate Caucus Room seemed to be getting nowhere rapidly. Everybody made speeches most of the day — except witness Cohn, who seldom got a chance to answer a question. Sen. McCarthy wanted Sen. Symington to testify under oath about what he, a Democrat, had to do with influencing the actions of Secretary of the Army Bob Stevens of things. So they kept on each other, though I that Sen.

S: It takes about 18 months to have plans and specifications drawn, the designs approved by the State officials, and the buildings constructed. Thus it is imperative, if the District is to avoid double-sessioning, that the Board of Education have authority and funds to proceed with the building program at this time. ALL THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BUILDINGS PROPOSED BUILT DURING THE SAME YEAR? S: The Board of Education proposes that two 10-room schools be constructed for the school year beginning September 1955, plus a bus garage and certain storage facilities needed. The balance of the proposed construction will be done as new pupils come to Anaheim. This means that the school facilities will be made available as needed. This will keep the cost as low as possible. It should be pointed out that if we have a spurt in home building the next two years the District could still provide for the influx of elementary pupils without affecting the education of our present students. WE BUILDING ANY "FRLLS" IN ESE ELEMENTARY BUILDING PROGRAM? S: This program has been planned to build the same facilities that the people of Anaheim have provided for their children for the past 25 years. The Board of Education feels that it will be thoroughly adequate for an educational program, but there will be no "frills". The Board of Education will take advantage of any construction or design savings that can be effected during the planning and building of these new schools.

You want to know all there is to know about everything! You may find it important to learn the lesson of specialization early in life or you may scatter your energies too widely. You enjoy social life, are a good talker, and are popular with members of the opposite sex. You may need to be warned against a habit of playing too much—and of procrastination when it comes to fulfilling your duty or an appointed task. Learn to finish one thing before you begin another and the results will be more rewarding. You are impulsive and are apt to jump to conclusions without giving even serious matters a second, serious thought. You seem to have better "hindsight" than foresight. Since your emotional nature is quite strong, it might be wise for you to be careful in marriage. Look before you leap. Among those who were born on this date are: Hazel Scott, musician; James Ballantine, artist and poet; Jeanette Rankin, pioneer Congress-woman; Ell Thayer, inventor, and Seymour Millals Stone, painter. To find what the stars have in store for you tomorrow, select your birthday star and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

But a combination of bed rest, aspirin and some exercise seems to do more lasting good for reheumatoid arthritis patients than the "miracle drugs." These bombshells have just been dropped into the world of medical science. The dropper of one was the National Jewish tuberculosis Hospital of Denver. The dropper of the other was the Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation. Dr. Sidney H. Dressler, medical director of the hospital, told the annual meeting of the National Tuberculosis Association that he and his staff had "ambulated" 44 "moderately advanced" tuberculosis and 52 "far advanced" ones. Not only was it safe, he said; it helped. It helped, he continued, because Isoniazid seemed to be more active against the TB bacteria in patients who were moving around than in patients who were undergoing what is called "prolonged and strict bed rest." This latter is the generally used method of treating TB. For the past 18 months, he revealed, new patients without complications have been kept in bed only three to eight weeks. In that time the antibacterial drugs (usually Isoniazid alone but sometimes streptomycin and PAS in combination with Isoniazid) stopped the active TB bacteria from multiplying. Then the patients were gotten out of bed and given more activities—and much too. Dr. Dressler said they dormant TB bacteria out," so they co-bathed out" so they could be at the drug while the patient the hospital and could be watched. He added that there had been an al abandonment of the ed policy of long-term rest." Of his 44 "moderately advanced" patients shown decided improve though some continued TB bacteria which could touch. In more months, there have been lapses — "no clear-cut disease to previously areas of the body."

Washington Scenes The David Lawrence Dispatch By DAVID LAWRENCE things. So they kept on snarling at each other, though I must report that Sen. Symington was the more graceful about it. "One of these days these hearings will have to come to an end," suggested Sen. Charles Potter (R., Mich.). "But ladies and gentlemen, the end still is not in sight." He said if all the witnesses who have been suggested actually were called in to testify, he and the committee would be on the job under the hot lights until snow flies. Sen. Potter read a list of such possible witnesses. It included President Eisenhower, Private G. David Schine's girl friends, Vice President Richard Nixon, Sen. McCarthy's beautiful bride, an assortment of alleged Communists, several Army officers, the mother and father of G. David, a taxi driver in New York, Cohn's father, and others too numerous to mention. Only possible witness that Sen. Potter missed was the waiter at a Washington restaurant who served Private Schine some butterscotch ice cream. The Senator meant that this list was ludicrous, and would all the gentlemen please make up their minds about which witnesses they intended to call? Chairman Mundt ordered them to do exactly that -- and in writing, so they couldn't change their minds. Sen. Symington said he couldn't understand how the Republicans could be so fickle. Only the day before, he said, Sen. McCarthy had demanded that Clark Clifford, who used to work for President Harry Truman, be forced to testify under oath. So a Democrat had moved that Clifford be called -- and the Republicans voted that down. Then came the cracks about 'sanctimonious Stu' and the need of Sen. McCarthy for a psychiatrist. At this juncture, I left to soak my poor aching head. You TV viewers. En route to Washington, June 11. - How near are we to a general war in the world? Anyone who travels in Europe nowadays and talks with persons inside and outside of government in the various countries hears that question discussed just as often as it was in the years immediately preceding the outbreak of World War I and World War II, respectively. There can be no doubt that the danger of World War II is universally recognized, but the wishful thinkers again are in the majority—those who, because they don't want to see a war happen, are trying to persuade themselves that it will not happen. This writer is convinced that there are only two safe assumptions for policy-makers in the governments of the free world to adopt One is that World War II is probable, and the other is that it will not necessarily be an atomic war. The assumption that World War II is probable stems from the presence today of exactly the same explosive factors existing prior to the outbreak of the last two World Wars which led to miscalculations by the aggressor. Vacillation in diplomacy and lack of clarity in defining what will happen to a potential aggressor are again creating the same dangers that developed before the last two world wars. The assumption that the next war will not necessarily be an atomic war is based on the logical strategy which Communist Russia already is adopting and must continue to apply in both her military and diplomatic preparations. Just as the Korean war surprised the military men, presenting the forces of the free world with a kind of war they did not anticipate or prepare for, so it may be assumed once more that the military planning now operates. "Neutralist" sentiment in France and Great Britain faster than such a warning, and it is reasonable to assume that public opinion in America would not wish to see Britain and France destroyed. Hence, the strongest influences would be brought to bear to outlaw the use of the atomic bomb, particularly on cities and areas that do not contain military installations or concentrations. Some inkling of the trend of Soviet thinking on this subject may be derived from a study of the latest propaganda moves by Moscow, which is engaging in a world-wide campaign to outlaw the use of A Bombs and H-Bombs. Any nation which itself intended to use them would not be so eager to arouse world opinion against the use of such weapons. If, therefore, the atom bombs are not used to destroy each other's cities, what kind of war will be fought? In all probability, the kind we did not expect in 1939 and 1940 and the kind we didn't expect in Korea in 1950—the strategy that the enemy deems best for its own purposes. This means a close approximation of what is known as "Conventional" war, fought with large bodies of ground troops. Soviet Russia is plainly at an advantage in this respect, because the ground troops of the free governments are scattered throughout the world, from Indo-China and Korea to the Middle East and North Africa and Central Europe. Soviet Russia has succeeded already in forcing the dispersal of the forces of the free nations through "Local Wars" and through "cold war" threats. But will not America use every weapon in her arsenal, anyway? Our own military chiefs and those of the NATO countries are absolutely sure we will do so, but with them the wish is father to the understand how the Republicans could be sickle. Only the day before, he said, Sen. McCarthy had demanded that Clark Clifford, who used to work for President Harry Truman, be forced to testify under oath. So a Democrat had moved that Clifford be called — and the Republicans voted that down. Then came the cracks about 'sanctimonious Stu' and the need of Sen. McCarthy for a psychiatrist.

The assumption that the next war will not necessarily be an atomic war is based on the logical strategy which Communist Russia already is adopting and must continue to apply in both her military and diplomatic preparations. Just as the Korean war surprised the military men, presenting the forces of the free world with a kind of war they did not anticipate or prepare for, so it may be assumed once more that the military planning now ongoing done by the free world does not envisage the kind of war the Communists will fight the next time. The basic premise on which this line of reasoning is founded is that the United States and the other free governments will not authorize the dropping of an atomic bomb unless the Soviets drop one first. It can be taken for granted that a nation which is weaker than its enemy in atomic strength will never strike a blow which would inflict massive retaliation. While, of course, this could happen, a strategy that ignores the possible tactics to be pursued by the enemy could be fatal for the free world. Knowing that public opinion in Democratic countries would not sanction the use of atomic bomb unless it is used first against us, the Soviet Regime can effectively neutralize the use of the bomb in the same way that poison gas was neutralized in the second world war—by self-restraint on both sides, rather than by formal agreement. It is to the interest of the Soviets not to drop an atomic bomb anywhere, and it is also to their interest to announce well in advance of the outbreak of a general war that if, after the conflict has begun, the United States drops a bomb behind the iron curtain, the Soviets will drop atomic bombs on both London and Paris. Nothing would build up ground floor. These belong to the public. But the two upper floors belong to the Eisenhowerers. The President and his wife actually live in about five rooms—her pink and green bedroom and dressing room, the President's bedroom and his oval study, and the west corridor sitting room which is gaily decorated with pink furniture, a wall-to-wall belge rug, and a combination radio and television set. "House Mine, Office Yours" Mrs. Eisenhower always has stuck to a rule which she adopted when she was first married—I'll understand how the Republicans could be soickle. Only the day before, he said, Sen. McCarthy had demanded that Clark Clifford, who used to work for President Harry Truman, be forced to testify under oath.

Dr. Dressler said this permitted dormant TB bacteria to "break out" so they co bdtaakelubyedto out" so they could be attacked by the drug while the patients were in the hospital and could be checked and watched. He acknowleged that there had been an "intentional abandonment of the hallowed policy of long-term physical rest." Of his 44 "moderately" and 52 "far" advanced patients, all had shown decided improvement although some continued to harbor TB bacteria which the drugs couldn't touch. In more than six months, there have been no relapses — "no clear-cut spread of disease to previously uninvolved areas of the body." Arthritis Results.

CONSCIENTIOUS, CLEAN HOUSEKEEPER (Editor's note: Running the nation's No. 1 residence has many of the same headaches and problems which beset the average homemaker. How does Mamie Eisenhower rate as a housekeeper? In the following dispatch, Helen Thomas, veteran United Press Staff Correspondent, gives the answer.) (By HELEN THOMAS) United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (P) — The White House is a smooth-running household but Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower is no push-button housekeeper. As the 37th mistress of the executive mansion, Mamie Eisenhower already has proven she can make a house a home—even when it is public property. As a soldier's wife, Mrs. Eisenhower had to learn to adapt to different environments. She has moved about 25 times in her 36 years of married life—from army post to army post, to Washington apartments, to a Paris villa, and now the residence known officially as Reservation No. 1, National Capitol Parks. The First Lady once confided to a friend, "I've lived in every type of place, except an igloo." Now Has 130 Rooms She now presides over a household which boasts three floors, 130 rooms—including numerous baths on each floor, and 18 acres of grounds. And Mrs. Eisenhower runs it as most any other housewife would. Her close friends say she is naturally fastidious, and dislikes disorder and dirty ash trays. The White House has glamor, but Mrs. Eisenhower sees that is also has warmth. And even though it is a "glass house", she and the President manage some privacy and home life. The mansion's first floor has a historic untouchability. It would take an act of Congress to change the 18th century Georgian furniture in the Red and Blue rooms, or to change the appearance of the East room or other salons on the Mrs. Eisenhower always has stuck to a rule which she adopted when she was first married—"I'll run the house, you run the office." She also follows the advice her mother gave her on her wedding day . . . "always live within your husband's income." The family income has fattened up considerably, but Mrs. Eisenhower still holds the purse strings. The President receives an annual salary of $100,000 and a yearly expense allowance of $50,000. The White House has a current budget of some $354,000 for the year. The Eisenhowers pay their own food bill and for the food of private guests. But the Department of State picks up the tab when the White House throws a big official reception. Mrs. Eisenhower directs the food buying, decides on the menus, and does about everything around the house except cook and clean. 70 Servants Available To help, she has some 70 servants, four doormen, six cooks, a maitre d'hotel, three upstairs maids, three downstairs maids, eight gardeners, five electricians, a head housekeeper, Mrs. Mabel Walker, and the chief usher, Howell Crim. Many of the staff are veterans. Doorman John Mays has been on the job 45 years. Mrs. Eisenhower's closest personal contact is with her social secretary, Mr. Mary Jane McCaffree, her personal maid, Rose Wood, and the housekeeper. Running the White House is a time-consuming job, a far cry from the days when Dolly Madison clear-starched the finer linens herself or when Mrs. Benjamin Harrison found time to paint a whole set of White House china.
