Two readers have mitten letters of complaint in the last clay or so and these letters have verbal echoes from many sources.

Wartime restrictions on gasoline and auto speeds have reduced the traffic hazard for the last-few years, but the conditions on upper Central avenue give us a foretaste of what is te come when all restrictions are removed and new cars take to the roads.

President Truman, it is reported, has a plan of occupation for which he will seek Allied approval. In the first five years the president proposes that the terms be severe. Thereafter easier terms will be applied for as long as it takes for Germans to be re-educated.

Until the worship of war has been trained out of their minds the world will not be secure. War, by the way, requires no long period of preparation. We've waged two successful l' hst Thoir wars with no advance preparation whatsoever, now gefsn auo Germany was not fully prepared in 1939.

Mr. Ickes is a mugwump Republican.

Mr. Truman, while in' congress, was probably the only man there with whom Mr. Ickes had not fought at one time or another. The president is in no huv- vy for the change, yet you a mark it down in your little red book, Mr. Ickes' definitely will Other alterations near the top may come earlier.

An important up the line behind Fred V'uison, the impending treasury secretary, probably will be worked out this way: John Snyder, St. Louis bank vice president (now presiding over the old Jesse'Jones $40,000,000,000 loan empire) will go into the directorship of stabilization, as William H. Davis moves up to take old job as director of war mobilization and re- conversion, Emil Schram, -president of the New York stock exchange and an old friend of the departed Jesse Jones, will go into Snyder's job charge the old Jones empire. These changes, at least are in the 'cards, and' will come about if no one drops a card. Six of the ten Roosevelt cabinet chair warmers already have gone, and one more, Ickes, will make it seven.

It means Henry Wallace, former vice president, defeated by Mr, 'Truman for renomination to that post, Is to 'Continue as ccmmerce secretary. While Mr. Wallace's experience on the subject of "commerce" has' been limited largely to publication of a farm magazine, he is a sort of gttneral custodian of the leftwing element, and its observer at the top table.

Whatever are the reasons, 'Mr. Truman does not intend to let him go. The other two holdovers are War Secretary Stimson and Navy 'Secretary Forrestal who obvious- iy are in for the Japanese duration. No thought of supplanting them has been entertained, and they may be listed as exceptions t'j all Mr. Truman's cabinet rules, in view of the emergency nature of their positions.

They are not away from but away from the leftwing emphasis, the social reforming theories. As one of Truman's associates puts it privately: "We are preserving the better side of Roosevelt, dispensing'with the other side."

By MARY CHASE Denver, used to sit around and dream of that bright some day when I would have a hit play on Broadway.

And during all that time I worked hard and attended to my own business and tried to do what was right by everybody. Therefore, it now see'ms to me very unfair that I.should be involved in the kind of unpleasant situation that has overtaken me in my own home town. Because never, in any of my wildest dreams, could I have imagined how I would be treated by a certain group of people out here.
