Staff Photo: Jack FREQUENTLY DANGEROUS X-Ray Shoe Fitting Care Urged een Official Says Truck Weight Laws Studied By JACK Gl ItXETT Staff Correspondent DALLAS, Tex. The Defense Transport Administration foresees no shortage of refrigerator cars for the Florida citrus and vegetable industries at least through Jan.

1, James E. Knudson, DTA chief, told this correspondent here yesterday. Knudson, in Dallas as a featured speaker at the closing business sessions of ninth annual convention of the Texas Citrus and Vegetable Growers and Shippers said following his formal talk that there are no plans underway now for the setting up of a refrigerator car pool to assure adequate supplies because shippers, the railroads and the car supplying companies are working "in harmony for the best interests of the nation." The transport chief told Gordon Stedman of Orlando, manager of Growers and Shippers League of "Florida, who also attended the convention, that truck weight laws throughout the nation are being studied, pointing out that states are now allowing optimum loads of defense materials hauled by motor truck to move regardless of maximum weight laws, under certification of ODT and be was sure that if the transportation situation got critical this could well apply to perishable foodstuffs. "We are seeking nationwide uniformity in truck weight laws and until such time as this can be worked out we are asking the several states to be tolerant of truck weights, always keeping in mind local highway conditions," Knudson said. Getting back to the refrigerator car supply for Florida, Knudson said they would be in ample supply at least until the first of the year, but after the turn of the year there may be some spot shortages as defense effort is accelerated.

Stedman said the shippers of Florida are somewhat concerned over the truck situation and Knudson, pointing out that the motor carriers this year will mdve the equivalent of 150 billion ton miles of cargo, said he could sees no tire or gasoline shortage' in the picture at present "or for some little time to come" although he would not. say what, "some little time" might cover in days, weeks or months. "You ought to tell your pen-pie back in Florida, who own and operate motor trucks, especially for long hauls, that it would be wise to practice conservation on vehicles and everything connected with them," The ODT chief told Stedman. Gen. Mgr.

Austin Anson told the association that while the January freeze caused the organization to trim its sails, it is still in good condition. The fiery little administrator who has been with the organization since the day it was formed, chided growers for not providing frost protection such as grove and row crop heaters or "frost eradicators of some kind." He said Florida and California had long ago found the heaters and smudge pots good investments. "This is a very nice piece of insurance for your future in Texas, whether it be citrus or vegetables," he said. The Rio Grande valley originally had 117,000 acres of citrus, then the freeze of 194D and the freeze of 1951 reduced that acreage to 75,000 acres, although not all the trees still standing are good trees and there may be heavier losses, Anson said in his annual report. The best tree count that Anson can obtain shows one million old trees left, 750,000 of whjch are oranges, but there are 3,500,000 young trees, two to three years old, all of them frozen back to the top of the bank, but coming out in "excellent shape." That means a total of 4.5 million trees after the 1951 freeze.

"The January freeze took a heavy toll on nursery stock and froze everything back to the bank," he said. Vale Mays of Edinburg was named president yesterday and the convention, already hailed as one of the best in the organization's history, came to a close with a gala banquet last night.

Henderson said yesterday he realized he made a mistake in not insisting that the men obey the injunction, but "my loyalties to the men overrode my obedience to the law. I am surely sorry for it." Nelson and most of the others said they had believed the issue was primarily between the union and the company. know now that I did not look at it with proper regard for I the court and would like to apolo- gize," Nelson said, Although the Pasco company joined in the plea tor release of the men, Judge Dayton turned it down. "I am not fully convinced that you completely realize the -seriousness of your conduct and the apology is meaningless unless you teei in your neari exacuy what you say." Judge Dayton said. "Remember it was a matter between the State of Florida and yon as individuals and it looked like you wanted a show- i down as lo which was the great-! er authority." 1 Judge Dayton said he did not consider the penalty severe mi-! der the circumstances, since it could have been as much as six months and S500 fine for each man.
