Or even that jt.is a street, to get right down to facts. . visited the 800 block on Lincoln, a peaceful South side byway, At least it was peaceful before we got there and stirred up dn old dispute about whether.the proper name is Lincoln st. or Lincoln lane, < As far

back as most of the residents can remember it's been @.: a street. MMowever, on the original plat it's a

lane,” according to Mrs. Jennie V. Smith, 839, one of the people who would like to resume the name “Lincoln lane.” Mrs. Smith can be classed as something of a Lincoln expert, too. She's lived in the same house 35 years, in two different locations on Lincoln. Her husband, the late O. L. Smith, built up the section, constructing several of the houses. At one time

part of the 800 block was called the O. L. Smith addi- ~

tion; , ., Back to the street-lane controversy, Mrs,

Smith says she remembers that they began calling it

a street after the paving went in and a trolley was routed on it. She'd like to see the people start using lane on their addresses, to gradually reconvert Lincoln back to a rustic title. , , . This isn’t the only name trouble the street's had, either. During world war I, Mrs. Smith recalls, “the north side wanted us to change the name of Lincoln so they could have a Lincoln st. The .people out here put up a howl, though, and the northsiders didn't get théjr way.” She doesn’t recall what the North side street was eventually named.

Youngsters ‘Second Mother’

ANOTHER VETERAN resident, Mrs. Earl C. Lombard, remembers hearing about her husband's brother driving cews down Lifftoln lane, when it was just a cow path, Dr, and Mrs. Lombard have been Lincoln residents some=25 years. . .. In addition to being the two “old-timers,” both Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Lombard are “second mothers” to all the youngsters on the street. Mrs. Smith now hands out cookies and kind words to children whose mothers and fathers before them used to toddle over to “see Miz Smith.” The same second-generationers are following in their parents’ footsteps on Halloween. It's neighborhood tradition for the kids to “trick or treat” the Lombards.

y @. no one can ever remember a Halloween when

hey didn't get a “treat.” One time back when the mothers and fathers of the present young fry were in school, a South side teacher asked her pupils to write a composition on what they did each Halloween. It turned out that darned near everyone in the class “went to Lombards.” There are plenty of children in the block. When we visited Lincoln, most of the young boys were grouped enviously around a boy named Al. who had a “real two-wheeled bike.” The bike subsequently got two of the youngsters, 4 and 5-vear-old John Lee and Richard Lloyd Smith, in trouble. The bike rider crossed Leonard st. and so did the Smiths. Their mother, Mrs. E. R. Smith, 853, saw them cross, something which they're expressly forbidden to do. It was in the house for them and in the

Convention

HARRISBURG, Pa. Oct. 7 (U. P. the the is being Cider's gushing golden in the mills. The fields are hazed in purple. And the paper shufflers back in Washington are a million miles away. Poor devils. I wish a few of ‘em could be along with me, sniffing the spicy smells of harvest time and maybe even talking to a few of the citizens here ina land where the dollar, in spite of everything, still is worth a dollar, or almost . They'd learn. I think, a little humility. What I'm trying to get at is the fact that I drove here from the capital to attend a sample of that great American institution, the convention. Where everybody wears a badge on his lapel, has a wonderful time, and maybe even does a-little business on the side.

~The frost is

Ladies Are Sore

THIS PARTICULAR CONVENTION happened to be a meeting of Pennsylvania newspaper publishers. They brought their wives along, their editors, and many of their reporters. The U. S. bureau of labor conciliation will be interested to know that boss and hired hand weren't bitter enemies. They were pals, boss bought reporter eggs for breakfast; boss’ wife talked with reporter’s wife about meat, lack of it. I don’t believe that Secretary of Labor Lew Schwellenbach will have to worry much about these people. OPA Chief Paul Porter need not worry about them, either, :

The publishers held one session concerning the newsprint supply The papermakers’ agents were there. Several men had copies of the Philadelphia

Aviati IT IS TIME for aviation in general and aviation administrative offices in Washington to stop, look and listen. This writer holds no brief for any airplane, any airplane manufacturer, nor the civil aeronautics board or administration. But he does fee] that something must be done—and immediately—if commercial | aviation in general is not set ‘back about 10 vears. He never could understand the sudden action on the part of the €ivil aeronautics board in grounding

. all Constellations, following a couple of minor acciz. dents——with no one injured—even after a TWA test Constellation cracked up, Killing all but one of its test crew,

That crackup, it later developed, could have been averted. The fact remains that no Constellation had ever suflered an accident in which any passenger or member of a crew.on a regular commercial flight had been injured in 182,758,000 passenger-miles of scheduled airline service. But, for the sake of argument, let's say that the grounding order was essential and right.

66 Persons Killed WHAT HAPPENED after the grounding, however, should be of vital interest to everyone Douglas DC-4's, the same planes which, as C-54's, had piled up a wonderful safety record in flying the North Atlantic and many other trans-ocean routes

‘during the war, were rushed in to fill the gap by

overseas and domestic airlines. Still, we find two commercial DC-4's cracking up in Newfoundland, with a total death list of 66 persons. The most recent was this week's crash, killing 39, the worst in aviation's history. >

My Day

HYDE PARK, Sunday.—I notice’ that Governor Dewey claimed all the things as Republican policies and Republican achievements which the Democrats also have stated were their policies and tos which they feel they have contributed immeasurably more than the Republicans. Mr. Dewey was appedling the otifer night to the voters to elect him and the progressive Republican party. J The Democrats in other.words, are.saying that on their records the people of the state can expect. more consistent progress from them than from the Republicans. They are claiming that the Republicans are giving .only "lip .service to certain policies—that, on the record, the Republicans have not given performance to thie same extent that the Democrats have, The voters themselves have to: decide this. They will deelde.it. I hope. by ‘weighing the character and

)-apacity of the candidates and their records.

"Ask Labor's Support

YET THERE {s one point I think worth mentioning. When the Republican candidate, Mr. Dewey, claims that he and his party are a- part of ‘progress, they are soliciting the support of labor: and the elements of progress within labor. In doing this, the Republicans do not expect to be accused of Communism. Neither should the Demo-

CHAPTER ONE “BRUCE BARTLETT!” cried Rose, her voice rising until it attained a thin squeal

of horrified incredulity.

“You're not, Gayle! You're not going to marry that wolf. You can't! You're joking!

She paused in her pacing to glare at Gayle, who was lying back

i against the pillows on the daven-

port. “I don’t believe it. I've seen what I've seen and I still don't believe it.” “I'm not fooling. Look,” Gayle slipped her hand under a pillow and produced a small box. She touched a spring.

§ 8 §- THE LID flew open and a diamond ring stood revealed, the superb central stone set in a cluster of smaller diamonds. “We're really engaged, Rose. I wrote the folks this morning. I'm not telling anybody else yet but you.” Rose stared at the diamond. “Must have cost him all of a week's allowance,” she observed, her voice powder dry. Laughing softly, Gayle slipped the ring on the fourth finger of her left hand. “It's beautiful, and you know it—and the diamond isn't so big.

I believe it is fair to say they were figuring on ways to remain in business in spite of the OPA. What Mr. Porter does, or doesn't do, is a matter almost of academic interest to them. They're depending not on the government, but upon themselves. Worried they may be, but they still know how to smile. |

Why, one might ask, were not the DC-4's grounded when CAB reached its decision to ground the Constellation? It was known at that time certain safety modifications which were ordered made on the | Constellations also would have to be made on the! DC-4's But time was allowed bv CAB before these modifications had to be completed. ’ In the meantime, the DC-4's were allowed to remain in the air, carrying hundreds of passengers. The fact is that, with the war ended, the airlines | engaged in a mad scramble for overseas routes and | business, They placed orders for the latest and largest airliners, converted many war-used planes and began high pressure selling of fast overseas air transportation at lowest acceptable rates, They failed to “stop, look and listen.” :

‘Safety’ Was Slogan :

THEY FAILED. to take a leaf out of the book written during many years of pioneering in-overseas flving—a book by Pan American airways, For Pan American, while building up global flying from infancy, had made “safety” its slogan to a point where many critics had claimed they lacked aggressiveness. In connection with today's -critical situation, this writer has two questions. ONE. Why, when the safeguarding of lives has been questioned, should any airliner be allowed to take to the air, until that condition has been remedied to the complete satisfaction of everyone concerned? TWO. If it was known that certain vital modifications were essential to proviae safety within limits of human ingenuity, why was it not ordered done even though every airliner might have to be grounded? There certainly was no hesitancy in grounding the Constellations—and that was just as it should be. |

crats be accused of Communism when they seek the same support. There are certain elements among the labor groups that are said to be either Communistic or too much influenced by Communist members. But the vast majority of .labor is simply “progressive.” | Mr. Dewey and Mr. Ives both repudiated Gerald L. K. Smith's support the other day. But they cannot get rid of his support, and the support of those who follow him, by repudiatiofi. This cannot be done any more than either the Republicans or the Democrats can get rid of Communist support by repudiation.

Labor- a Richberg Wants Union Control .

Bill Revived

* By FRED W. PERKINS Seripps-Howard Staff Writer k WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.~Donald Richberg, co-author of the railway labor act, said today efforts should be resumed to “bring sanity and balance into the present strike sit~ uation.” Mr, Richberg is chairman of the unofficial committee to promote in« dustrial peace, which made the studies that produced the recqms mendations embodied in the Hatch Ball-Burton bill, He said the committee would meet here within two or three weeks, plan its fall and winter campaign and talk with the senators who used the committee's ideas as a basis for proposed legislation. One of these is Harold H, Burton, of Ohio, now a supreme court justice... The other two--Joseph H. Ball (R. Minn.) and Carl A Hatch (D, N. M.)—do hot come up for re-election until 1948, and therefore will be members of the - new corigress. r » » “I'VE NEVER before seen such a demand for revision of the nas tional labor laws,” sald Mr. Riche berg. “My mail is a flood of requests that our committee get busy, I had decided to make no more speeches on this subject, but so . many organizations are asking for speeches that I'm going on the cirs cuit again.” Noting the “second wave" of ree conversion. strikes now apparently under way, Mr, Richards said “the fundamentals of our proposals have been proved right.” He said some changes would be made but in general the committee's proposals will follow the ideas advanced originally by the committee to promote ine dustrial peace, ~ n n HE SAID that if congress had adopted the Hatch-Ball-Burton bill the country would be free of its worst industrial disturbances, In particular, he said, the Pittsburgh strike of an independent utility union -would have been forced into mediation, and compulsory arbi« tration if necessary, and the nas tional maritime strike also would have been forestalled through use of extensive mediation machinery, Most spectacular is the one in Pittsburgh. A union of power company employees has cut off most of the city's current; has brought about. disruption of street as well as office and residential lighting; and with picket lines, has suspended all street car and much of the bus service. - n ‘» MR. RICHBERG said the Pitts burgh strike would have been pres vented by enactment of the Hatch« Ball-Burton bill, because by now the dispute between the union and the Duquesne Light. Co. would have been forced into compulsory arbi« tration. The company has offered arbitration, the union has refused it, “I can't see anything wrong with compulsory arbitration in labor controversies that have such a de= cided impact gn the public welfare,” said Mr, Richberg. “The courts de cide between the conflicting inters | ests of citizens in many matters, | When a labor controversy touches [the public interest there should be {no objection to an arbitration trie not much different from a court, making the decision to pre= vent the public being penalized from a quarrel in which it has no direct interest.” Mr. Richberg admitted that ane tagonism was so strong to his come mittee’s original proposal of come pulsory arbitration that it was dropped. ;

We, the Women uyers' Line

Woman's Job, It's Decided :

By RUTH MILLETT A DETROIT husband won a die vorce the other day with a sad, sad story. He told the juage that he had put up with his wife's throwing dishes, books and shoes at him, but that when she ordered him to stand in a nylon line for her he decided to call it quits.
