No More Cars British licensed newspapers reported that in another attempt to harass the Allies the Russians had announced they would provide no more elevated railroad cars to remove garbage from the western sectors. City garbage is hauled in trucks to central collecting points and taken by elevated trains to a disposal plant in the Soviet sector.

Through its newspaper organ Taeg-liche Rundschau, the Russian occupation made a new bid to get the Soviets a voice in control of the rich Ruhr industrial areas of western Germany. During Monday's meetings in the 48 states, each elector will sign six certificates, verifying how the voting wnt. What happens to these six certificates requires almost a full page of law to explain. But the upshot is that they'll be opened in Congress Jan. 6, and counted.

This time the result won't surprise the most bemused poll-taker. The long drawn-out formality will add up to Truman. Changes come slowly in something like this. But I noticed that four years ago the letters to the governors wound up with: "I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant." This year Myers quietly changed this to, "Very truly yours." A small step, perhaps, but it's in the right direction. By ARTHUR ED SON WASHINGTON, Dec.

9. Everything is ready. The day of the great decision is Monday. The electoral college will meet and elect the next U. S.

President. Maybe you thought we already had a President for the next four years. Maybe you belived those headlines of Nov. 3 that the people of this nation had named a fellow named Stuff and nonsense! All we did was to pick electors to pick a President. Down through the years, of course, electors have dwindled in importance until their Job has become a mere formality.

But it's a formality backed up by two sections of the Constitution and eight pages of law. Truman can't be elected until it's all carried out. The man charged with seeing that everything goes properly is Denys Myers of the State Department. He assured me today that everything looks shipshape for the big event. "The electoral college." he said, between puffs on a balky pipe, "is a reminder of our history.

Originally we were the United States, with a small 'u' and a big So the electors were named in each state, and they decided on the man they thought should be President." Myers has written each of the 48 governors, over the signature of Undersecretary of State Lovett, explaining to them how the- thing should be done.

Experts from Harvard University's department of anthropology compiled the findings for the Army after two years of measuring and photographing 105,000 soldiers.

Constable Pat Gordon arrested Stifle Tuesday night, and said he had become involved in an argument with an official of the MacAsphalt had quit his job and had sword to "get even." According to the constable, Stifle bought 10 bottles of cane syrup in Tarpon Springs, brought them to Lakeland, and on the night of Nov. 29 went to the corporation plant between Lakeland and Mulberry.

While a woman companion engaged a night watchman in conversation, Stifle poured the contents of two bottles of syrup into the motors of two new trucks parked at the plant. He poured another bottle into the gasoline tank of a third truck, but the appearance of a car caused him to leave to the east.

Claim Casualties In the Yungcheng-Hsiaohsien area 50 miles away, where three government army groups totalling 200,000 men are fighting about the same number of Communists in a crucial battle, each side claimed it was inflicting heavy casualties on the other.

But there was no major positional change. A government spokesman predicted the Yungcheng battle would be decided "in a week or. two." The official Central Daily News admitted that the Communists cut a section of the Nanking-Suchow railway in a pre-dawn raid 30 miles north of Pukow, across the Yangtze birth," the report said. It credited the strength of the New England and Middle Atlantic men to the prevalence of southern, eastern and central European stock in those areas. before he could start on seven other Men from districts such as the Atlantic and East South Central are chiefly of British and Irish extraction, the report continued, and therefore, trucks parked there, Gordon said.

Attorney General Tom Watson today advised officials of the teachers' retirement system not to refund any of the money until the supreme court rules on the appeal of DeWitt F. Rollins, her husband, from his Polk County conviction for murder. When she started participating in the teachers' retirement system, she designated her husband as her beneficiary.

Since Rollins' conviction and life sentence in September, the administrator of her estate has asked that the money be refunded to the estate for distribution among the other heirs. Retirement system officials asked Watson what to do. He replied that state law prohibits any person convicted of murder from receiving any inheritance from the person he killed. He said no refund should be made yet because "the final result of the prosecution will determine whether the contributions may be refunded to the husband or to the Some of the finest products in the world are made in Tampa.
