During the current session of the Alaskan Li islature a great deal has been said about the effect Deputy Sheriff Pat Bliss in King County, Wash., is boasting he has just about bested King Abdullah of Trans-Jordan at chess.

For many months after World War I they were the only thing in ~ | which you could travel. And when 1 it came to chocsing between “forty {men and eight horses,” I personally referred riding with the eight < horses. |} Reason was taat the horses kept ithe car warm. And you have no ‘§dea how cold those cars could get Yon winter nights. If, however, you {picked out a train carrying cavalry, and slipped into a car with eight horses, you were reasonably sure of spending a warm night. The horses were always tied, their heads facing the door, so you could sleep en the hay in front of them with o danger from their heels. In the morning you woke up to find all the hay eaten out from under you— and perhaps some of your hair nib- bled at but at least it was warm SPECIAL POLIC BOXCARS Today the American railroads are .guarding these French boxcars with special police night and day, as if they were museum pieces—which, in ‘effect, they are. But in the Bal- kans, there keep your boxcar from being rifled —sleep in it yourself. And, as part of my job to trans- | port relief supplies from Belgrade ‘south to the Jugoslav-Albanian | border, boxcars were a sort of sec- Vgand home to me. | Sometimes we borrowed Jugosiav ‘gendarmes from the government to guard supplies, but usually that GUARD nt about 10 per cent of your | r and sugar was sold along the ‘way — by the gendarme . Or sometimes when you didn't ‘have supplies to guard you rode in the caboose—also unheated, except a Sandard Oil can, with holes punched in the sides and a couple of chunks of soft coal burning in- jde. What smoke belched forth n those cans! There was no mney, so it was a toss-up and plat- h r to stay in the caboo: er or go out on the r and freeze . “AMERICAN LADIE Then there those post-war loco- motives.

The Serl had expected the “American Lady” to make steam with her boil- er dry! EUROPE's RAILROADS BETTER NOW The .railroads of Europe have im- proved a lot since then. Even the French and Italian roads, though suffering terrific punishment dur- ing the war, are pretty well back ori their feet. You still have to take along steamer rugs, socks and long underwear to stay | warm, and traveling through most of Eurcpe in wintertime is some- thing you don't do just for the fun of it. All of which is by way of con- trast with the way American rail- roads are run today, as evidenced | by the operation of the Gratitude Train. American railroads are carrying these 49 boxcars 70,700 "miles, or the equivalent of three | times, around the world. To plan | this schedule traffic managers for about 17 roads sat down in Wash- ingten well before the French ship docked and figured out, almost to {the last hour and minute, when each car would arrive at its destin- ation, and how approximately eight sections of the train could fan out through the United States When the S8 Magellan tied up at the Erie RR docks in‘Weehauken, 49 flatcars were set and waiting on the pier. And within 30 minutes after the ship was secured, the first French car was hoisted by crane onto the waiting flatcar | The last of the French cars are being delivered this week—a terrific job, executed without a slipup. BASIC-MATERIALS DE- \ MAND FIRM | President Truman is getting wor- ried about heavy deflationary pr sures on US economy. The White House has learned that unemploy- ment benetits have increased for 10 straight weeks—also, that various factories throughout the country have been shut down. In discussing this with aides, Tru- man pointed out that the $64 ques- tion is not the softening in the commodities or luxury-goods lines but whether or not prices drop in basic materjals—steel, aluminum coal, electrical goeds, auto and ra- dios The demand in all these lines, with the exception of automobiles, remains heavy.
