YOR ACTIVITY ationomial figures, hundreds. 3 of steel. monsters on wheels, visit the ‘Indiana Motor

Freight Terminal Co. at 430 Kentucky ave. - The

terminal is the base of operations for 18 trucking -

companies which serve Indiana, neighboring states, and distant members of the union. “Ellis Trucking Co., one of the largest firms at the terminal, has nine loading doors and its trucks have carried, according to C. H. York, 318 Campbell ‘ave., superintendent of transportation, 16,380,000 pounds of freight from the first of the year to the end of October. In that e period their trucks have travelled 3,667,184 es. Charles Taylor, 810 8, Addison st., "dispatcher, keeps the trucks moving in and out. 'He often has as many as 40 trucks on the road from

' Lansing, Mich, to Memphis, Tenn. A former “over

the road” driver (long out-of-state hauls) and city driver, Mr. Taylor said the oddest freight he has ever hauled was when he picked up lions at the Tnion station to take to Broad Ripple .park. It was a spécial day for William Paugh, 2212 Woodfawn ave, city driver. He got a new two-and-a-half-ton truck and wasn't wasting any time to start clocking the miles. He put 51,000 miles on his old one—and it wasn’t new when he started to drive over four years ‘ago. Mr. Paugh siid trucks can take it for more than 125,000 miles. Most of his deliveries must be made fast but when he picks up air express flowers at the airport that's when “They don't intend for me to lose any time at all” he said.

‘Two Wheeler’

THERE'S ANOTHER type of truck driver at the tefminal. He's called the “two-wheeler.” He never leaves the loading dock and the motive power is supplied by muscle, - Joseph Helms, 2838 8. Lyons st., is a two-wheel truck driver. His run is from the interior of a “semi” to the dock. He estimates that he handles from 7000 to 8000 pieces of freight a day. Mr. Helms doesn't feel the call of the open road. anymore because he had' “served his time” behind the whéel—25 years. In one section of the huge terminal I counted 12 two-wheel drivers pecking away at contents of trucks like large-scale ants. Surrounded by Buick motors, axles, drums, wheel rims, and boxes was Lloyd Anderson, 1329 Blaine ave. He's the man who checks the freight as it ‘comes and goes. With his bills of lading, Mr. Anderson sees to it that the “stuff” is shipped on the right truck to the right place. On the other side of the dock, doing the same thing, was checker John Miller, 957 Lexington ave. Mr. Miller also has “served his time” on the road. He thinks the lot of truckers has improved a great deal. When he drove, the drivers had to peddle the freight to the customers even after a long haul. There were no central terminals where -it was cleared. and given to city drivers to deliver. = “The equipment the men drive,” he said, “is a whale of a lot better, too.” A “wildcat” trucker, Lloyd -8yester, 2926 W. 10th st. explained how the men swing their huge trucks around as if they were passenger cars.

Bury My Head

WASHINGTON, Nov, 5—If Vic Paulsen becomes the short-term senator from California today, I've got to play phonograph records at him, If Jim Moran

' gets the nod, I must look up a bucket of sand in which

the senator's ostrich, Junior: Moran, can stick his head. One way or the other I am trapped. The candidates for the do-nothing senatorship, unfortunately, are friends of mine. They are in constant communication. with me via long-distance telephone and air mail. Should Vic win, I'll. have a music-loving senator and his wife for a house-guest untit January 3, wh he loses his job. Should Jim get the vote, hell mo in with the ostrich which he, personally, hatched. Not everybody gets to play host to a United States senator, who either is poppa to an ostrich, or insisha on pre-dawn symphonies. This is a distinction, my bride is pot impressed. She does not 2 ‘phonograph music at five o’clock in the morning. Her experience with ostrichs is limited, but she does not believe she'd like Junior in daylight.

A Load of Woe

SHE SAYS she heard once that politics made strange bedfellows, but she did not know these included ostriches. She says this is what I get for associating with politicians. When the senator moves in, she moves out. Woe is me. Candidate Paulsen reports from the San Francisco radio station (where he plays early morning phonograph records) that the people will not let him down. They appreciate his honesty. If the government's going to pay $800 a month for a senator from California to do nothing the rest of the year, he says he’s ideal. Nobody can do nothing

Science

SCIENTISTS. everywhere will applaud the action of Warren R. Austin, head of our delegation to the United Nations, in endorsing the Soviet proposal for 8 world-wide reduction in armaments, These scientists realize that the problem of preserving civilization is more than the problem of controlling the atomic bomb. : ~ All too many people have assumed that the atomic bomb is the only menace in sight and that everything would be fine if we merely outlawed its use. Some have even taken the amazing stand that we need not even worry about the bomb since when everybody possesses one, no one will dare use it. But the. plain matter of fact is that even without the atomic.bomb, there would be no difficulty about wiping out éivilization today. Qur plants for the production of Uranium 235 and plutonium could, with equal ease, turn out vast quantities of radioactive poison gases of a deadliness never before known in the world.

New Warfare Technique

BUT TRANSCENDING both atomic bombs and radioactive poison gases in their potentialities for mass* murder, are the new techniques of biological warfare. Whatever difficulties may be pointed out as to the use of atomic bombs or radioactive poison gases, do not apply to the methods of spreading plant diseases, animal diseases and human diseases perfected by the joint “army-navy commitee on biological warfare, It has, for example, been said that atomic bombs are useful only against heavy concentrations of

‘My Day

NEW YORK, Monday.—I took the train to Hyde Park yesterday because I was so afraid our committee session at Lake Success would not be ended in time for me to get to Poughkeepsie to do a broadcast which I had agreed to d8.

I DID NOT think the representatives of the United Nations on their pilgrimage to my late husband's grave would reach the ‘International Business Machine Employees’ clubhouse in Poughkeepsie 80 promptly, But when I reached there they all were seated at the table.

Mr. Hamilton has been on the Harrisburg run for six years without an accident and recently was awarded the no-accident certificate. The over-the-road men drive 10 hours and rest eight. During icy weather, snow, or sleet, the driver is the judge of whether he can safely get to his destination. All the drivers I talked to agreed motorists could dim their headlights more on ‘the open read. The motorist who wins—handsdown— the award of “most dangerous” from these med, is the tipsy driver.

Moran is Hollywood's gift to the movie producer, who is about to put into production a film based upon a best-selling book by a lady about an egg and herself. To advertise this cinematic omelette the producer handed Moran an ostrich egg and promised him $2000 in cash’if he could hatch it. Moran collected. His son, the ostrich, is becoming a big boy. Junior is growing a set of magnificent plumage and is resembling his poppa more every day. This is no libel. The would-be senator told me. He said by transcontinental phone that he would arrive at my house.within the month to take office in the senate. He said the voters of California were convinced nobody could have more fun in the senate than him. “T said, could he bear to leave his ostrich in. the West? “That would break my heart” Moran replied. “Junior is coming with me. I shall put him on the payroll as my secretary.’ He also said that Junior's favorite food was grasshoppers and would I please have some in the pantry? I passed the word on to my bride. What she had to say about my senatorial friends (to use a little understatement) was not complimentary. She concluded, and I quote exactly: Ostrich feathers.

the methods of biological warfare become most effective. The spreading of plant diseases might easily reduce a whole countryside to the point of starvation. It is important also to remember that the effectiveness of all types of mass murder—atomic bombs, radioactive poison gases, and digease germs-——depend upon the methods of ‘spreading them. Because of them, long-range rockets and ‘their launching platforms, B-20's, and their bases take on a new importance,

Bodies Not Recovered

FINALLY it is necessary to remember that even without the new methods of mass murder, rockets and bombing--plafies could still destroy civilization with such old-fashioned weapons gf world war II as TNT block-busters and the various types of incendiary bombs; ~ . Let us not forget that we destroyed the cities of Germany so thoroughly with these weapons that several million dead bodies are yet to be recovered from the ruins. It has been calculated that it will take a quarter of a century to clear the rubble out of Berlin. ' Tokyo was as thoroughly destroyed by B-29's and incendiary bombs as was Hiroshima or Nagasaki with

the atomi¢ bomb. The only difference was that it | few days, though they may feel

took longer and was more expensive. -Gen. H. H. Arnold, commanding officer of the army air forces .in world war II, estimated that it cost $3,000,000 to destroy each square mile of Tokyo. He estimated the cost of the atomic bomb “which destroyed two square miles of Hiroshima at $1,000,000. But the point to remember is that Tokyo was destroyed. The old weapons are enough to knock out civilization by themselves.

Paul-Henri Spaak, president of the general assembly, responded, and then together we went out and he placéd a wreath on my husband's grave. I then took him back to the house while other wreaths were laid by various delegations.

Glad to Make Pilgrimage

I HOPE the representatives of the various nations who were there felt rewarded for the long day. Mr. Spaak said it was a pilgrimage which they were all glad to take. - I kept hoping that the spirit of friendship which my husband always extended to all people who came to his home would-be: felt by them; one and all. And I hoped that the visit would serve to augment. the sense of kindness and international solidarity which can exist even when points of view are different and people have to disagree.

But Al, who has been happily married for 22 years, was exceptionally conscientious...

‘Luxury’ Class By RUTH MILLETT

“SHOULD divorce be considered a luxury or a necessity?” Delegates

New York City debated that ques tion from a professional point of view,

From an entirely personal point of view it is, ‘perhaps, as good a way as any for a couple cqnsidering divorce to put their problem: “Is this divorce a luxury-—or a neces= sity.” It is certainly a luxury where children are involved—if there 4s any possible way of patching up the marriage well enough to give the kids a fairly happy home life, » » » IT IS a luxury indeed if Johnny is leaving Susie just because he has met a girl who, for the moment, meems to have more glamour than does his wife. Or if Susie is leaving Johnny because she has the romantic notion that in some other man she has at last found “the real thing.” It is a luxury if the couple are separating because the housing shortage is forcing them to live with interfering relatives, or une der otherwise trying conditions— instéad of enduring a little une happiness until their marriage has a real chance.

8.8 td DIVORCE may even be a luxury where one misstep on the part of - either husband or wife is the basis of discord. Eertainly divorce is a luxury when a young husband and wife reunited after a long , separation decide in a hurry that a marriage partner doesn't live up to an ideals ized memory-—and therefore seems like “a different person.” Whether or not from a legal point of view a divorce is a luxury or a necessity, from an entirely

of today's divorces are strictly in the luxury class.
