team at the St. Paul hotel. But at the last minute the hotel wired that convention delegates had taken up all reservations. THere wouldn't be any room for the Indians. To make it worse, the team couldn't even get train reservations to St. Paul. Mr, Schlens- T ker, figuring there might be at least one postponement because of rain during the series in Indianapolis, thought the team would be pulling out for St. Paul about last Friday or Saturday. So he made reservations on the Riley for both those days. But the Tribe as rained out twice and couldn‘t leave here until Sunday. They finally got a coach out of Indianapolis—without reservations, And half the team ended up staying at the St. Francis hotel with the other half at the Rayn. But in spite of the bad luck, the Indians are more determined than ever to come out on top in the little world series. . . . The lifting of restrictions on conventions is causing hotel troubles in other cities, too. Detroit and Chicago—if they win the major league pennants—are getting gray hairs over what to do with world series fans. . «The camp and hospital committee of the local Red Cross chapter needs two pianos—any style but just so they're in good condition.

Even the Indianapolis Railways employees can't get used to the new fare system. A passenger boarded an Illinois streetcar and bought 55 cents worth of tokens and a two-cent transfer. He transferred to a Crosstown bus at 30th and Illinois, When he handed the bus driver his transfer, he was asked for another two cents, The driver then got a lecture on the new fare system with which the passenger was well acquainted, He didn't have to pay the extra two cents, either. . . .

ONE OF the inevitable consequences of the atomic bomb is the necessity for a new type of collaboration between statesmen and scientists. the result of a joint effort between scientists and military experts such as the world has never seen before.

That same kind of collaboration is required between the legislative hall and the laboratory if the atomic bomb is not to sound the end of civilization.

Favorable Position to Dominate PAN AMERICAN WORLD AIRWAYS, despite difficulties due to space limitations during the war, generally enjoys the confidence of most air-minded Latin Americans, They have confidence in its pilots and equipment, Pan American is in a favorable position to continue to dominate air travel between North and South America. German and French lines, which operated in Brazil, Argentina and Chile before the war, were considered more daring but less safe. A French line, that operated from Santiago, Chile across the Andes to Argentina, used to fly regardless of weather conditions. When storms made it impossible to fly at about 17,000 feet through a pass in the mountains, the planes went up to 24,000 feet and flew over the top. Pan American-Grace planes would remain grounded when the weather was bad. Most of the passengers preferred to stick with the judgment of the United States company. Latin American countries are counting on air cargo to solve their shipping problems into remote interior sections.
