PHILLIPS SOME OF THE BIG railroad in our larger cities are going in heavily for entertainment. It takes ' your mind off the fact you can't find many posters. It is announced that disk jockeys will now play records, give news items and tell you how the ball games are going, interspersing them among the regular train calls. Never a dull moment. "Twentieth Century Express now ready! . . . You will hear her laughing across a crowded room . . . Brooklyn 4, Giants 3 ... On track Number HI . . . I don't see me in your eyes any more . . . Will the lady who requested 'Riders In the Sky' and reported she has lost her umbrella kindly call at the in- - formation booth All aboard! " We looked into the matter yester-day. It was somewhat confusing. Our idea was just to get a ticket to Cos Cob. We walked up to the information booth. It was pretty crowded. A young lady wanted to know what time she could catch the "Bali Ha'l." Another wanted to know how much time there was between the express to Utica and "Strummin, On the Old Banjo." "What time does the local to Cos Cob leave?" we asked. "Let's Take an Walk," was all we got in response. "Cos Cob," we repeated. "DiMaggio just hit a homer with the bases full. Baby, 'It's Cold Out-side is up next,' " came to us in loud tones. "Listen, mister," we shouted at the information man. "We haven't got that," he re-plied. "Haven't got what?" " 'The Wedding of Lill Mar-lene- .' " he answered. "The four winds and the seven seas on track 11 at 3:38 . . . Get your latest news from the tennis matches at window eight." But the trainmen the door. They werTSf' to "Some Enchanted E? dining car, first grill car omy PStamI FATHER AND SON "Popper, what j, ttj. conference in t;; about?"

"Our dollar is worth ,,, more that is was in greater mand, I guess, or somelfc Here's your bat." "But who demands can dollars?" "Who doesn't!" Here everything was drowned out by an argument be-tween a station attendant and a woman toting two suitcases and a harp. She said a porter had refused to carry her bags as he had never heard her on the Hit Parade. Both were shoved aside by a cop with a loud cry of "Aw, shut up! I wanna hear 'Room Full of Roses!' " We finally got the information clerk's attention and repeated "Cos Cob. What time?" "Is that by Perry Como or Tony Martin?" he asked. "It's by Mamaroneck," w e snapped. "That's funny. Mamaroneck isn't scheduled today. Would you like to hear how the Yanks made out?" We gave up and tottered around until we found the Cos Cob track. "Is there an American j shortage?" "If you had to fill a gi, pay the house bills, go to i $ cal, order a steak dinner or 3 or hire a plumber these dij, would not ask such t foolish tion, my son." "Why Is nothing said ate, American shortage of dolla: "Because Americans thinl they have five dollars that what one buck would i buy they are away out ate the game.

Accord; World Awaits Pound Cut Effects; Walkouts Plague Major Industry (FDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in these columns, they are those of Western Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) I. New Justice ft " - t ; V A' RUSSIA: A 'Sweet' Note The Russian theme in Internation-al accord was growing a little sweeter, if Andrei Y. Vishinsky, Soviet foreign minister could be taken at his word. WEARING a broad smile, Vish-insky had urged United Nation members to cooperate. The gesture was made by the chief delegate as he arrived in New York by plane to attend the fourth United Nations general assembly sessions. Disdaining the usual brusque "no comment" for reporters, Vish-insky was almost voluble. "The Soviet delegation," he said, "is fully confident that the United Na-tions is as the head of the Soviet government, Stalin, said a serious instrument for the maintenance of peace and international security." Then he added: "There can be no doubt that the general assembly would be able to solve the impor-tant problems before it providing the nations of the U.N. show a sin-cere desire to cooperate with each other and in accordance with the principles of the U.N. charter. Other delegates, advised of this and remembering the almost in-numerable Russian "vetoes" in matters where cooperation might have been most valuable, decided to await development at assembly sessions to see just how far the Russian affable manner would go. DEVALUATION: Wait and See ARMS BILL: Meddling Feared The 1.33 billion dollars arms-aid-bi-had a stalwart supporter in Sen. Arthur Vandenberg (R., Mich.) who termed it a bargain-pric- e peace insurance policy against Communist aggression. He said he feared that any "med-dling" with the bill might impair its force and effect. Vandenberg, chief Republican spokesman in the senate on foreign policy, declared that the arms-ai- d program might be regarded either as life insurance or fire insurance and said that in any case it is a bargain policy as far as peace is concerned. Referring to the North Atlantic de. fense pact, he said that pact included a pledge to maintain forces that can resist armed attack. Too, he pointed out, European allies have weak-nesses that the arms bill would help overcome. Vandenberg declared that it would be in "honorable keeping" with U.S. treaty obligations to adopt the arms bill. "I think it is definitely and specifically in the interests of our own national defense," he went on. "I think it is a discouragement to war ... I think it is prime and vital peace insurance." He argued that the plan to send American tanks, guns and planes to Europe falls squarely within the' commitments of the North Atlantic pact which the senate ratified by a vote of 82 to 13. He denied sending arms abroad would mean the start of an arms race between the East and West. Vandenberg' s active support for. the measure was expected to help it( materially in winning final adoption in the senate, since many dissident' Republicans would probably go along on the basis of Vandenberg's admitted stature in the field of for- -' eign policy and because of his pres- -' tige in the senate. U.N. TOP MAN: Soviets Object Over Soviet protest. Brig. GenJ Carlos P. Romulu, campaigner from the Philippine' islands, was elected president of the1 fourth United Nations general as-- 1 sembly. Only the five nations of thei Soviet bloc opposed his election. IGNORING the Soviet attitude, Romulu's first act was an appeal that the delegates make this gather-- ' ing a real "peace assembly." According to, newsmen, Yugo--1 slavia apparently voted against the Soviet bloc for the first time, in the secret ballot for president, but de-clined to admit it publicly. The new president, acknowledg-ing that many obstacles to peace still exist, said the danger of a new war had abated and that the delegates must press this advan-tage. HE CALLED upon them to move forward boldly in the spirit of in-ternational cooperation called for by the Mexican resolution approved unanimously in Paris last year. Romulu's choice as chief of the assembly was seen as indicating friction in debate on issues as the Soviet bloc could be expected to fight the leader at every turn where opposition could be maintained. Top Russian dele-gate Vishinsky had also sppken out for harmony, but on the basis of past performance by the Russians, his attitude was open to doubt. Anti-Re- d Judge Sherman Minton, of U. S. circuit court at Chicago, was named by President Tru-man to succeed the late su-preme court Justice Wiley B. Rutledge. WALKOUTS: Cars, Coal, Steel American industry, fighting to re-gain pre-wa- r stability, was facing parlous times. John L. Lewis' coal miners had left the pits. The United Automobile Workers union had handed the Ford Motor company what amounted to a strike notice, and now the steel industry was next. WITH these basic U.S. industries all down, production suspended, millions of workers out of jobs, the national industrial and economic picture appeared dim indeed. President Truman was coming in for some blame in the steel indus-try dispute, with critics charging he had "fumbled the ball" in ef-forts to prevent a strike. Four days before the deadline for start of the strike, federal con-ciliator Cyrus Ching had reported no progress in negotiations. Neither side would budge on the key point in negotiations. The union contended that since it had agreed to forego its demands for a pay raise, the steelmakers should accept the presidential fact-finding board's recommendations for "a company-finance- d welfare fund. While this seemed to satisfy steelworkers, it didn't please the .UAW. ON the other hand, the steel in-dustry was buying newspaper space to claim that it was agreed at the outset that the presidential board's findings would not be binding on either party, and that if a strike re-sulted, the union would have to assume the responsibility. Steel leaders took the position, too, that the workers should con-tribute to the ' pension-insuranc- e plan costing 10 cents an hour for each man. To say that reaction to Britain's devaluation of the pound sterling was mixed, would be an under-statement. Instead, reaction ranged from hope to fear, from confusion to jubilant "I told you so's" from all those who had held that devalua- - tion was the only answer to Brit ain's current economic crisis. AND that was the chief rub was the solution one that would solve just the current situation, or was it the entire answer? The bulk of the thinking on that angle was that it was not the long-rang- e panacea, with most observers preferring to "wait and see" before committing themselves to any analysis of the devaluation effect. Meanwhile Canada had joined the parade of English-connecte- d nations devaluating the pound, THE DEVALUATION move was a d sword in the British dollar crisis, for just as it might result in increased buying of Brit ish goods by Americans because of lowered costs, it would mean, too, that the English would have to pay more for the items they bought at home. The pound value was cut from $4.03 to $3.07, an action which alarmed most im-porters. While expressing fear the move would cost them a great deal of money, most traders said they "didn't know a thing" yet and couldn't speculate until they had some word from British manufac-turers. SOME DEALERS and importers declared they would take a beating on the reduced values of their in-ventory of British goods already bought and paid for at $4.03 to the pound. Fire Hazards Of course one can live in a fire-tra- p but the question is: How long? The National Fire Protection as-sociation, calling attention to Fire Prevention Week October poses this question and points out that 11,000 people lost their lives in fires last year. More than twice 1 '.' y ' i " ! f 4. f I ! --V BOMBERS: Gives Reds Pause The declaration came from a man whose qualifications entitle him to the rating of expert Gen. Henry H. Arnold, wartime chief of U.S. air forces. The statement, made in a book, "Global Missions," was that it isn't armies or navies that Russia fears, but only bomber strength. "Let's put it this way," the gen-eral wrote. "Russia has no fear of an army, she thinks hers is just as good and bigger than any other in the world; she has no fear of a navy since she can't see how it could be employed against her; but she does fear our long-rang- e strategic air force which she can-not as yet match, or as yet under-stand. In the strategic air force, coupled with our atomic bomb, at this writing we hold the balance of power in the world." "But," he warned, "by tomorrow the picture may change," Arnold minced no words in the dim view he takes of the Russians. "The Russians," he says, "would have none of the American propo-sal that the American air force be allowed to build 9 bases in Siberia to attack Japan." Similarly, he recalled that agreement for bases in Russian territory to be used for shuttle-bombin- g of Ger-many, was ended after a short time by Moscow. The air force, in the current squabble over armed-servic- e pres-tige as a result of the unfication bilL could take much solace and encouragement from General Ar-nold's statements. Dry roof is vulnerable. that number were seriously in-jured. One-thir- d of that number, the association reported, lived on farms. Reporting that a few structural hazards account for at least half of all farm fires, the NFPA urged farmers to take steps now to elimi-nate such hazards. These steps were listed as: checking of wiring systems; wetting down of inflam-mable roofs in dry weather; in-specting heating plants and chim-neys, and protection of main build-ings with lightning rods.

RAILROADS: One Fireman The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen wouldn't like it, but nevertheless, there would be only one fireman on diesel locomotives. The presidential emer-gency board had ruled that a union demand for a second fireman on these locomotives was out of line, rejected the demand. ' THE BOARD said simply that there is no need for an extra fire-man on diesel-powere- d locomotive' now in use. TRADE BODY: Carson Okayed Despite some vigorous Republi-can opposition, John J. Carson was confirmed by the senate as a mem-ber of the federal trade commis-sion. The Truman appointee was confirmed by a vote of 45 to 25. Carson's , economic views came under heaviest fire from the Repub-licans, with many charging him with lack of sympathy for the American free enterprise system. Carson, 59, is a former newsman. ji The Great Secret jjjl HERE is a power only those can know sffilS Whose feet have climbed to some far Cal- - gfl Where all the winding roads of suffering go, fi jfl With the gentle Christ companioning them, and he ggSS Bearing upon his back a heavier cross f" Than ever could be ours through pain or loss.

GRACE JjgjjLOWELLS:sS35i Fiction EXPERT RichardH Wilkk Corner hopes that Rex had entertained be-gan to ebb. Then suddenly they burst out anew as Vic entered a narrow canyon, the existence of which was a surprise to everyone. A moment later he pointed down into a hidden valley where stood a couple of rough shacks and an astonishingly large herd of cattle. REX asked no question, but his men into a line, then ordered them to move down the slope. The rustlers were taken by surprise. They had no idea as to' the size of the at-tacking force, and after a desultory attempt to fight off the invaders, the main body broke and fled. The big surprise of the affair occurred when Vio Stuart rode Dp with the masked leader of the rustlers and, slandinr. fore Rex and nil riders, 'r off the leader's mask, rr ing the snarling featnrti i Mark Eaoul.

He's a west-erner with eastern ideas an' a col-lege education. Probably got a head full of new fangled notions on how to run down a bunch of Ari-zona cattle rustlers. Thing for us to do is organize a vigilante group on our own, and wipe them there cattle thieves off the face of the map." "How we gonna do that," Rex Rupert wanted to know, "when we ain't got a notion where the rust-lers is takin' our cattle?" "We got as good a notion," Mark shot at him, "as any smart young deputy sheriff what aint dry behind the ears yet." Vic Stuart, redheaded, freckled, blue-eye- d and friendly, arrived the next morning and announced him-self to be the new deputy assigned to the Roaring River Valley cattle rustling business. Rex Rupert, committee of welcome, looked the youth over and decided the ranchers had been smart in postponing their vigilante organiza-tion. But Rex betrayed none of the confidence he felt when he ex-plained the circumstances. Vic listened and smiled and his blue eyes crinkled at the corners. "Natural," he said, "for Rao ill to feel that way. Fact is I have got some new fangled ideas. It takes brains to beat a bunch of outlaws these days, whether they're stealing cattle or operating a racket." Rex's thoughts' were rather glum as he rode back to the ranch. About midday of the next day Vic Stuart rode in just as Rex finished his lunch. "How many armed men can you provide me?" the youth asked shortly. Rex stared. "You ain't found the rustlers' roost?" "That was easy. Thing to do now is scare up enough men to take care of the rustlers, who are at the present moment en-gaged in branding your stolen cattle." Vic Stuart led them to a section of country familiar to them all; the By INEZ GERHARD WHEN SAMMY KAYE entered he was headed for a civil engineering degree.
