(UP)--The student, was poorer, he wrote to the juror, than many a man who's been stopped" by a cop. But the judge wouldn't budge, to the plea to go free. Instead, he replied, 10 bucks is the fee.

(Michigan State University undergraduate William i i asked leniency after he was ticketed for speeding. The exchange of correspondence between Pilgrim and Judge Peter J. Marui- tak follows.) Wrote Pilgrim: Roses are red, 'violets are blue; Your verdict I dread, I hope nothing is due. I'd be there in person If fate would allow, But I'm studying hard and have no money now. So judge me with mercy; I've learned so well That speeding in Michigan Is harder than Hell.

Answered the judge: These college speed demons Are bad for our With "regret we inform you Ten bucks is your fate. WASHINGTON (NBA) Several years, ago Keith retired State Department official, decided to pull stakes and move lock, stock and furniture to the Virgin Islands. A canny world roamer, Keith qlicked his abacus on the various costs of moving and chartered a Pan American plan to lift his possessions in one fell swoop to the islands. Friends thought he'd gone daft. But today the Merrill airlift has become the pattern for moving key government employes around the world.

Thousands of- private -citizens making cross-country or intercontinental moves' have also discovered that in many cases, it's cheaper to fly your possessions than send them by conventional means. Seaboard Western Airlines, which, hauls cargo to and.from Europe, showed the State Department that the cost of hauling 40,000 pounds of furniture from New York to Frankfort, Germany, by air would be $2,169. Comparable cost by boat would be $2,899, which includes expenses resulting from the long time boat deliveries take. But far more important to the air cargo business family furniture moving is the fact that U.S. industry is applying Merrill's airborne arithmetic to its freight problems with startling results.

Machine tool makers have 'become the biggest users of air for moving cargo. Customers are usually in a hurry for the machines. "Casey's" "Casey" Jones Town (John Luther Jones) is buried at Jackson, Mjs's. Cayce, the town for which'he was nicknamed, has erected a zronze tablet in memory of the famous railroader. For highest quality hay, cut legumes in the early-bloom stage.

Less crating.is required when the machines go by air, and the biggest savings is on reduced refurbishing after delivery. Perishables such as fruits and flowers- are big aij cargo items. After that the list is endless and includes clothing, plastics, baby chicks, phonograph records, dental supplies, perfume, magazines, fertilizers, race horses, candy and film. Two mail order houses, Sears and Florida Fashions, have begun to use air freight extensively with good results. This will add up to making 1957 the record year for freight in the sky.

During 1956, over 700 million ton miles of air cargo were flown by U.S. airlines. That was a. 20 per cent jumpj over the previous year. And the first, six- months of this are running 20 per cent ahead of the 1956 record.

The secret of flying freight goes beyond' rate differences, obviously. It costs between 17.5'cents and 23 cents' per ton mile to fly freight. The comparable cost by train is 1.48 events and by truck 5.7 cents. Discovery of the machine tool makers that air transportation is gentle with cargo applies to scores of products, especially electronic equipment. No need for elaborate crating is another saving.

The big STRANGE CARGO: A sports car is unloaded in New York after being flown from Even race horses fly factor in moving is the savings on crating. Studies show that air freight is handled an iiverage of five times less than suirface freight the same points. This means less breakage and cheaper insurance. There less pilferage; air freight because it does not sit around in -warehouses for' extended periods. A final major advantage of air freight is the smaller inventories which it allows to stores.

This is a saving. American Airlines, Flying Tiger Line, Slick Airways, and United Airlines, in that order, are the biggest carriers of domestic cargo. Pan American and Seaboard Western are the biggest U.S. lines in the foreign freight business. The all-cargo lines fly C-46s, DC-4s, DC-6s and Super Constellations.

The passenger, lines also fly all cargo planes, but more than 50 per cent of all airfreight goes in the bellies of passenger planes. Jet passenger transports which will be delivered starting in 1959 will bring a great boost to the air cargo business. The Douglas and-Boeing 707 will both carry more freight plus a full load of passengers than an all-cargo DC-4. There is talk of jet aMiners flying 2,000 mph by 1970, which will be a still greater incentive to lise this speedy delivery service. There are three basic ways to ship by The U.S.

postal serv- ite offers air parcel post. Railway Express Agency has an air expres -service. And the air lines theinselyes straight air freight service. The air lines have discovered that air freight is one of the best means of keeping up income and have begun to exploit this market even more energetically. It pan only man still further expansion of this fast means of cargo delivery.
