Our Daily Bread Sliced Thin by The Editor -Alex. H. Rail Strike Over Still a Mystery George Ware Home Yesterday's news report opened with a very good item a Chicago dispatch stating that the rail. road strike was over. The strike is over but the mystery of it lingers on.

The Firemen's Brotherhood. walked out because they said they wanted an extra man on multiunit diesels. They had been previously turned down on this very point by presidential factfinding boards. Today the railroads say that Sifter six days of striking the firemen abandoned this demand. Yet both the men and the roads claim a moral victory.

All we are told is that the issues, aside from the abandoned extra-man claim, are going to be submitted to arbitration. Does the same thought occur to you that has already to me? That the firemen's demand for an extra job was merely a smoke screen to compel arbitrastion on some other unpublicized matters. very confusing. And it docs seem there ought to be some simpler and more straightforward scheme to go about thing like this instead of tying up rail transport for six bad days. If there ever was a field in which arbitration ought to be compulsory, and Its findings abbinding, it's the field of transport, whether on the ground, 'on the sea or in the air.

The public is absolutely at the mercy of both management and labor, in transport matters and it's seldom that an issue settled six days after a strike couldn't have been ironed out without any page at all. Caller at The Star office yesterday was George Ware, citizen of Hope, who was the first manager of the Fruit Truck "Branch Experiment Station here. He and Mrs. Ware visited friends here yesterday and today during a month's leave of absence from their station in the American Occupation Zone of Germany. Mr.

Ware, who resigned his Experiment Station post here in 1943 to enter the Army, joined the Military Government division as a food and agricultural officer. He has been in Germany ever the 1945 occupation. Now a civilian, Mr. Ware is agricultural education officer of High Commissioner McCloy, with headquarters at Bad Nauheim, American Zonc, Germany. He has been supervising agricultural vocational schools and agricultural colleges throughout U.S.-held Germany a post for which his long years in agricultural research here in Arkansas eminently qualified him.

Duff's Stock Rises in Pennsylvania By The Associated Press Jim Duff, Pennsylvania's governor, skyrocketed into a position of vital importance in national Republican affairs today as the winner in the state's most bitter primary election in decades.

Duff was nominated 'for U.S. senate by a nearly three-to-one ma(jority. He carried, to victory his ticket for governor and four statewide offices. In appraising the result, Duff said: "The Republican electorate has indicated definitely that the policy of the party should be aggressive and progressive and not ultra-conservative. "We can guarantee a Republican president in 1952 if the policy now adopted in Pennsylvania is carried out nationwide." Duff defeated the statewide litical organization headed py former U.S.

Senator Joseph R. dy. For 30 years, Grundy now 87 had been spokesman and top strategist of the CUP in Pennsylvania. Duff started the campaign with a pledge to "destroy" what he called "Grundyism -government by a few, for the banefit of a few, at the expense of the public." Grundy accepted the challenge, lining 1 up behind Duil's opponent and a complete anti-Duff slate. Allied with the veteran leader were U.S.

Senator Edward Martin, a former governor; ex-governo: Arthur H. James, and GOP national committeeman G. Mason Owlett. For the two major offices, turns from 6,257 of the state's 8,347 districts gave: For senator: Dutf, 758,5740 Rep John C. Kunkel, the Grundy candidate, 309,678.

(A) -New doubts arose on Capitol HIll today that there will be excise tax reductions this year unless PresIdent Truman changes his mind about vetoing any tax bill that reduces the overall revenues of the treasury. The house ways and means committee, by voice vote late yesterday, rejected the President's posal for a $400,000,000 increase in federal levies on inheritances and big gifts. This was one of the increases along with higher cor(poration taxes and the plugging of tax law loopholes by which Mr.

Truman proposed that offset the from proposed excise reductions. Tax law managers, after yesterday's action, predicted. to newsmen that congress never will be able to offset, with higher taxes elsewhere, the $1,080,000,000 in excise cuts the ways and means committee estimates it has opproved already. The figure is almost twice as big as the $655,000,000 limit Mr. Truman recommended.

It includes reductions on furs, jewelry, ladies' handbags, toilet preparations, movie admissions, travel and scores of other items. The committee has yet to act on the President's proposal for a $650,000,000 increase in corporation taxes. It also has some votes to take on his suggestions for plugging tax law loovholes, that would yield mare millions. There is substantial doubt that the bill finally sent to the White House will follow the President closely either on the corporation hike or the loophole plugging.
