SuBSihirMlON RAIE: $3 oer year nan ju'.dt tne Piaitsmoutn traae area casn advance. By Tims for Legal Actic.n Let us assume John Doc, a prop erty owner, believes portions of the ax-age and driveway of his neighbor, a physician, are situated on his land. And let us assume John Doe does not take the sensible way of trying to set tle the matter by legal , means. Instead he steals into the doctor's garage one night, takes the key from his automobile, puts his own padlock on the garage door, and refuses to surrender the keys to lock or car. Such the doctor's property rights. It is also a s v--ee r possible danger to the hijulth and nfe of his patients. xi.u we v er ngnt o onn Doe may nave oeeu in ms property dispute, n.s mgn hanued, irresposible behavior would undoubtedly earn him public censure -u u vere legal penalty. let if John .oc i.wuca tne labor unions in a basic industry, tne situation would be decid edly diiterent. He could, in effect, set tle his dispute by punishing the patients instead of the physician, and there woqud be little that anyone could do "one reason lor tne different sit . uation is that in disputes such as the coal strike, w hich endanger the public satei-y, everyone seems to have been going, on th assumption that there are only two branches of our govern about it. ""-- ment. The judicial branch has been carefully bypassed. Labor has resisted any restriction of the right to strike, and successfully except in the case of the Smith-Conal-)y Act. Many industrial executives have! joined union leaders in oppos ing Compulsory arbitration even before a government committee, let alone a court of law. ;J;Yet it is obvious that the time has come when industrial disputes which adversely affect the whole country must be settled in the same orderly manner as any other disputes affect ingthe rights of persons or property. And now at last plans for such means , of settlement have been proposed by a senaSor from each party Mr. Ferguson of Michigan and Mr. Fulbright of Ark ansas. ;Both senators would make' arbi tration of disputed contracts compul sorf,in basic industries and utilities whre the public welfare is at stake. ';:Jhe constitution extends the ju dicial power of the United States, am ong?gther things, to controversies "be-" twe&n citizens of different states." When John L. Lewis, a citizen of Vir ginia can call a strike which para lyzethe nation, such judicial power is pearly applicable. Senator Ferguson is talking in sense $vhen he says, It;is now plainly apparent that we havgot to set up some legal machin ery do the job. The economic pow er o'f disputing parties should not be thedeciding factor." MERHV- 60- eiO!!tU) By DREW PEARSON G.IeSJfS6 War Department and iIacArthur a" supposed to be a partof the same army team, but apparently one .of them doesn't always believe in lettlnj The.pght hand see what the left hand doeth When this column recently published the text of aecret telegram from MacArthur in when lie proposed barring the sped ai correspond- ents of the Christian Science Monitor, New York Herald Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle and others from Japan, an explosive statement was-immeditely issued by MacArthur. It" was reported by the United Press from Tokyo as follows: "JL. spokesman for General, Douglas MacAr thur" denied reports of columnist Drew Pear son that the Supreme commander had banned several newspapers from Japan, Including the ChicagfT Sun, .New York Herald Tribune, 'PM end the San Francisco Chronicle. - . " 'There is not the slightest truth in those assertions, a GHQ Public Relations Officer 'Buti'thln an hop of 'the MacArthur state- ment, the War Department confirmed the ac said." " curacy of the MacArthur cable as reported by this column. Here is the United Press report ,from the War Department. . . , ... "The War Department" declined comment on a report by Drew Pearson that Gen.. MacAr thur banned representatives of several import and newspapers from making a trip to Japan. "The Army said the only comment that could be made would have to come from MacAr thur. - "Reliable War Department sources said Pear son quoted correctly from the text of a cable from MacArthur to the War Department. They said the officer , or civilian 'who disclosed the iniormation to Pearson would probably be court martialed for violating security hi3 luenuiy were discovered. uuier war Department sources said the W rtdiaou u cuiuiiiii imu ucca xadioed ti .ac o uie War SOME GUYS HAVE ALL THE LUCK naiiciau? coromcie aiong wiui uie communist aauy Worker, the liberal PM and the pro Democratic Chicago Sun ana accused them ii ui uownrigni quackery and dishonesty."

Reed of Belsoma, Miss., who tiu-ough Blbo'a ' assistance, got an army con tract for the Jackson, Miss., AH Base at a cost ; of $1,439,710. gelling West Point Short Reed cougoed up S.aOO to Bilbo, but since he warned to be a Die to' deduct it irom nis in come tax, he insisted oh paying it to Uie church fund ratehr than to Bilbo Of ouerse,. in the end, it amounted to the same thing. Following this. Bilbo turned "round and got Reed's son a coveted appointment to West Point. The records of the U. S. Military Academy show that Maurice T. Reed, Jr., entered West Point July 1, 1M4 and flunked out in June, 1946. The official record says: "Dscharged because of deficiencies in study." In other words, Young Reed didn't have the proper educational qualification to enter West Point in the first place, and probably wouldn't have got in had it not been for the $3,500 his father paid Senator Bilbo In. other words also, the taxpayer wasted a minimum of $10,000 sending young Reed to West Point for two years a total loss. Finally, there is the fact that young Reed got Into the coveted military, academy in 1944 while the . war was still , on, and anyone entering at that time was certain not to face combat until the wr" wai over.

Edson's Washington Column .. .' ' "Y PETER EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON. D. C.-(NEA)-Five important railroad cas' now before the federal courts and the Interstate Commerce Com mission and coming up in the next Congress, fit together in a jigsaw puzzle that pictures a battle of the railroad giants against the govern 's me wnoie future of U. S trans portation policy whether it is to have free-enter prise competition or monopoly control The first case to consider is the application of 43 major railroads for ICC approval of their offer to buy and operate the Pullman company's sleeping car service. In the closing session of these hear ings in Washington, Jacob Aronson, counsel for the New York Central and the 45 other railroads trt this pool, stated that his clients would like a de cision by the ICC on this application before the Supreme Court can hear arguments on another case to decide the same issue. The importance of this statement will appear later. Pullman, Inc., was ordered to sell either its car manufacturing business or its sleeping-car service. It chose to sell the J sleeping-car service, and in December, 1945, the Philadelphia" U. S. District Court approved sale of it to the railroad pool for $75 million. nHREE months later the Department of Justice asked theSupreme ! Court to bar the sale, on the grounds that ownership and opera tion of the sleeping-car service by the railroads would merely per petuate the monopoly that the court had ordered dissolved. This case has been set for argument before the Supreme Court in January. The desire of the railroads to get the ICC to approve this' sale now is obviously a maneuver to present the Supreme Court with government approval of the deal by the ICC. Two other railroad anti-trust cases fit into the picture. First is an action against the"westernr railroads" and "their" topi ' financial-controlling interests, in the U. S. District Court at Lincoln, Neb. Briefly, the government's charge is that through monopolistic1 ! f control, development of the western railroads has been retarded. ' ( i "RAILROAD attorneys have been pressing for delay of the Lincoln1 case until after the Supreme Court can dispose of the so-called Georgia rate case. This was a suit initiated by Gov. Ellis Arnall on behalf of the State of Georgia, charging that discriminatory freight rates were charged southern shippers by agreements dictated to railr' roads of the so'uth and east by their common controlling ownership. There is litUe chance the Georgia rate case can be decided before the end of the present term of the Court in June. That gives the rail roads time to move in another direction. Time is of value in these cases because a Rapublican Congress convenes in January. And among the ilis which just missed passag? by the last Congress, but will be uo for a second try next year, is the famous Bulwinkle bill. All it would do is exempt the railroads from all action under the anti--ui laws. Qr How much steel : goes . into , a household refrigerator?" A About 200 pounds. Legal Notices Smith & Lebent, Attyt.
