My friend, Red Edgerton of the Western Newspa- per Union, who is a homeless waif traveling five southern states and a lot of other territory, got bit by the trailer bug awhile back and bought himself a deiuxe outfit. The thing looks like a cross be- tween a box-car and a circus ticket wagon, with one wheel fore and two aft, but when it’s hitched | to Red’s car it gets around and “i@ithough he’s only had it six} months it has already traveled over 38,000 miles. I never really believed that a guy could be comfortable livin’ in! one of the things but I'm tellin’ you this Palace Coach of Red’s has everythin’ the well-equipped home has to offer includih’ tax exemption. The front section is composed of a combination living room, sun parlor, library, music room, kitch- en, bedroom and bar. There’s a large airy closet amidships, equip- ped with a full-sized mirror, with a toilet across the hall. The rear section, which can be cut off and made a private apartment serves) as dining room, card room, bed- room, den, breakfast nook and bath. Four people and the family cat can live and travel in solid com- fort with light, heat, running hot; and cold. water, radio, electric stove, electric iron, electric razor, electric fan, spacious ice box, a convenient compartment for such trinkets as. Scotch, soda, lemons, and: cracked ice. The -hall way between the kitchen arid the bath canbe used: for dancing in an} emergency if.a couple doesn’t get too energetic. There is a place for} everything from dust mop to dic- tionary and the business of trying to keep everything in its place is the chief indoor sport that trailer | tourists engage in. 2 One minute the layout can be as neat and tidy as a pin and in no time at all and for no apparent reason it can get so messed up a fellow finds it difficult to move. We started out from Tampa with everything in ship shape, enter- tairieda few editors and their friends as we made stops along the route, got in about four hours sleep and the next morning woke up in what looked like the after- math of a hurricane.

On this side of the Atlantic, the British determined to go ahead emphasizes the isolation of the United States and makes plain the necessity of adequate defense against all contingencies. The United States, having re- | peatedly asserted that it preferred ‘to face the world alone, is taken ‘at its word and permitted to | make its own plans. The House Committee on Naval Affairs, as its hearings drew to a close, heard Rear Admiral Wil- tliam G. Du Bose, Chief of the Naval Bureau of Construction and ; Repair, declare that the new 35,- 000-ton battleships now building | are actually larger thar the 43,200 ton batleships which ¥ serap- ped. under the provisioms of the Washington Treaty for the limita- tion of naval armaments. At that time, the Montana and other ships | of the 43,200-ton class, under con- ' struction when the limitation pact was signed, based their tonnage on the ship’s fuel capacity and full loaded with supplies and am- munition. The tonnage of the 35,- 000-ton ships now building does {not include the weight of fuel, stores or supplies of any kind. The North Carolina and mve ti | |} ton, now being built, will be 714 | feet long and 108 feet wide. The scrapped battleships would have been 624 feet Tong and 1048 feet _ wide.

While trailer travel may be al- right for an accomplished house- wife with a complex for system and tidyness, the average male occupant finds himself at more or less of a disadvantage.

He pointed out that every battle- ship in the Navy will be over-age by 1947. The fleet now,-he said. is twelve and not fifteen ships, as the New York, the Texas and the Arkansas have already been delegated to training service duty. He expressed the opinion that the Pennsylvania, the Arizona and the Oklahoma, now with the fleet,! are already obsolete. When asked how long it would take to accomplish the projected fleet expansion, Admiral Du Bose replied, “From eight to ten years”, with existing facilities for construction. It would be pos- sible, however, he said, to use the three navy yards and the three private yards. equipped to build battleships. provided additional equipment is installed, to lay down three battleships a year over a four-year period.

Blocked for almost six weeks by the fight of Southern senators, the bill was given up some weeks |! ago. Twice the Senate refused to apply cloture which was the only way to put an end to the endless speeches made against it. One of the surprising features of the last day’s debate was the speech of Senator George W. Nor- ris. Independent Republican of Nebraska, who lined up with Sen- ator Borah of Idaho in opposing the measure on its merits. On only one point did the Nebraskan differ with the Idahoan. He thought the measure was consti- tutional but that “it ought never to be enacted ‘jn the law”. Re- calling the “tragic era” of recon- struction in the South, with “car- control of those pStates’,and the “misery and ruin” ig thatisection after the War, the Nebraskan ,declared that “we have forgetien those days” but ‘this bill would revive it all”. He insisted that the “crime of lynch- ing. is becoming virtually un- known”, that the South has 2 a record of which it has a righT to be proud”, and that inter- ference now would be a “step backward in human progress”. This column is written for newspapers all over the United States and is being published weekly in practically every state in the union. In many areas, there is little understanding of the ra- cial problems that exists in the South, which is entirely different from the problem confronting certain Northern states with large Negro populations. That the re- lation between the two races in the South can be ‘improved by pressure from other sections of the United States is to be serious- ly doubted by genuine friends of tHe Negro, both in the South and elsewhere. “Whether it is right or not, it is dangerotis to national unity to attempt coercion in solv- ing racial problems, whether they relate to the Japanese in ee. fornia, the Mexicans in the west, the Negroes i Auk Dy the large foreign- in metropolitan areas. We are quife sure that we are unable to understand the econom- ie recession now being felt in most sections of the United States and we have, in truth, no compre- hension of the various plans be- ing discussed to bring about im- provement. Consequently. we treat very lightly the President's recent discouses on prices some of which are described as “too high” and cthers as “too low”. The President, in a recent press conference, stated that his Ad- ministration policies are designed Housing Act, the & Informed observers Asucit “to promote full empldyment of | our human and material re- sources” and that “a balanced sys- tem of prices” is necessary to “promote a balanced expansion in production.” The problem the Chief Executive declared, was be- ing attacked on fronts and he mentioned the Fi Program and the di aad) ¥ MONDAY.

Ortiz as President of Argentina was taken as an occasion for the President to stress the community of interests of the nations of the Western Hemisphere in a letter flown from Washington to Buenos Aires by Lieutenant-Colonel Rob- ert Olds, Commander of the “Good-will flight” of six army bombing planes. The flying for- tresses set a record in their 4ight from Miami to Lima. Peru, Santi- ago, Chile and on to the Argen- tine capital. In each capital the Good-Will fliets were hailed by large and enthusiastic crowds. Officially and» unofficially, the army planes and the forty-nine) officers and men were received with the greatest hospitality. Sig- nificantly, the flight of the g:ant bombers followed the appearance of planes from Italy and was tak- en as a diplomatic counter-move to check Fascist propaganda in South America. Meanwhile, from Buenos Aires came the news that the United States would be asked to propose an inter-American military and naval alliance for mutual protec- tion against possible European or Asiatic aggression against any country in the Western Hemis- Phere. While the identity of the countries making the proposal was not disclosed, it was explain- | ed‘ that, bétause of age-old jeal- ousies among the various repub- ucs, the sponsors of the plan wanted the project to appear as coming from Washington.
