P. Pettigrew, Prank Brown and C. D.

Letcher as the original grave of Traveller. The United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Rockbridge Historical Society had the marker erected. Traveller's bones were later disinterred and are in the museum under Lee Chapel. The horse died in 1871. The suggestion has been made that it might be well to bring Traveller home to his stall in his stable, which is alreday marked with a tablet; and If his saddle, bridle and blanket can be found return them to their peg by him.

The Senator was expressing a personal opinion i which may or may not have been based on conclusions reached by other members. His conclusion will appeal to most of those who have followed the hearings as being in accord with what has been submitted so far.

The public has been outraged by the revelation that an admitted Communist has been enjoying1 an AEC fellowship for non-secret re search In physics and that four other fellowship holders are suspects.

Several weeks ago, The News-Leader commented on the way the price of gasoline has been inched up, a half a cent at a time, without any attempt to Justify the increases to the public. A Senate committee has now rendered a report which describes the pricing policy of the companies as highway robbery. The Senate Banking and Currency Committee, of which Senator Maybank of South Carolina is chairman, is reported to intend calling endowments and a sharp, almost sized this point when he said: The private medical, schools are guardians of medical and academic freedom and accept the responsibi Price catastrophic cessation of giving. $15,000 Then came the war, which took so Opposite The Dixie Theater many men out of medical life into lity to maintain the highest possible the armed forces that an inadequate 132 E.

Thus Standard and Poor's reported that for 1,548 Industrial companies profits for 1948 were 23.2 per cent above 1947.

However, if oil companies were eliminated from the sample, ,1948 profits were only I per cent above 1947. In other words, so great was the oil Industry's increase in 1948 profits that for a large sample of all Industrial corporations, the ,1948 profits increase was about 60 per cent greater as a result of including the oil companies." Prom 1946 to 1948, oil profits shot up more than' two and one-half times, the Investigators report. Yet the oil companies turn around and boost prices even higher because these inflated profits are settling back to earth again, says one Washington commentator. Senate investigators are reported to have found that the average motorist is paying $40 a year more for gasoline than for the same amount he used in 1946. The public has been long-suffering because the oil companies have inched uphelr prices a half a cent at a time and thus avoiding too much notice at each raise, and because money has been fairly "easy." People are finding out now, if money is not harder to get, that it doesn't seem-to go so will -perform -a service to the nation if it forces the gasoline price issue into the open and takes action to effect reductions unless the oil companies can fully justify-their pricing-policy, which looks mighty like brazen profiteering.

0 i Jobless Pay For Ford Workers (Charlottesville Progress) In Virginia, as In most other states, striking workers are not eligible for unemployment compensation benefits, but the disqualification does not extend to workers made Idle by strikes in which they are not participants. Thus, when the recent United Automobile Workers walkout at the Ford Motor Company's big Rouge plant near Detroit forced the shutdown of Ford assembly plants throughout the country, the employees of the Norfolk plant made application for unemployment benefits. Inasmuch as they seemed to be out of work through circumstances beyond their control, their applications probably would have been approved as a matter of routine had not the Ford Company filed a protest which will be the subject of a hearing by the Virginia Unemployment Compensation Commission later this month. The company raised an Interesting point. It is true, it acknowledged, that the Norfolk Ford workers, like those in numerous other Ford plants oNLYy you safe, enjoyable summer driving.

i. 4 INCICDES I0IHAI rXSTAUAriO! SEE THE ECONOMAT HERE! key plants are closed by a strike, the payment of unemployment compensation to non-strikers has the effect of subsidizing what amounts to a company-wide strike. The union can shut down Ford as effectively by calling out only the Rouge workers as by calling out all Ford employees, the company pointed out, and it can do It cheaply If the non-Rouge workers can draw unemployment compensation. Furthermore, it contended, the non-Rouge workers make themselves parties to such a strike when thry permit their union to authorize it. The Issue isn't one which the commission will find It easy to dispose of with full Justine to all concerned and full conformity to the intent of the law.
