himself to vote for the amended adoption bill of State Sen Davis Wooten of Manchester A United Press story from Nashville Friday quoted Wooten as foreseeing little opposition in the reconvened Legislature to his amended bill which embodies compromises between his original bill and one sponsored in the House by Rep Dave Alexander of Franklin Wooten was quoted by United Press as saying that Sen Perry Pipkin and Sen Harry Scruggs of Memphis might vote against the bill but that Sen Tual probably would vote for it Tual said: came by to see me on a friendly visit He stated he had a number of amendments to offer to Senate Bill 81 the adoption bill introduced by Wooten He discussed his amendments briefly We then discussed other legislative matters He did not solicit my vote nor did I make any commitment My vote will depend upon the status of the two bills when they are presented for amended bill provides that adoption records would be kept in the secretary of state's office and could be opened only on Chancery Court orders However Gov Browning has indicated he still favors a provision of the original bill providing that adoption records be kept in the state Welfare Department Took

Union Will Check All Drivers By FRED PERKINS Scripps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON March 21 The first 15 days of April will be national for over-the-road truck drivers according to orders just sent out by Dave Beck executive vice president of the Teamsters Union (AFL) Officials here are interested in how local units of this big union will carry out Mr Beck's Instructions in checking the union cards of truck drivers at filling stations crossroads bridges tunnels diners warehouses waterfronts docks produce markets and such places enterprise might develop into a violation of the anti-racketeering according to Rep Sam Hobbs (Dem Ala) author of that statute all depends on how the checking of truck drivers is lie said a driver is stopped against his will for the purpose of obtaining money for a union membership that would be a violation particularly if violence or threat of violence accompanied this action If Peaceable truck drivers are interviewed peaceably without delay or hindrance to the interstate commerce in which they are engaged I do not think it would violate the law I have the utmost confidence that the Department of Justice will act if The Hobbs law was written because of alleged acts of violence by members of the Union against truckers entering New York state from New Jersey The effect was said to have been the virtual extortion of fees from the drivers corresponding to a pay at the union scale Farmers hauling their own produce to the New York markets were treated the same way In some cases according to evidence the union pickets rode non-union trucks into New York City and in others they merely collected the pay for themselves The Hobbs law makes it a felony carrying a fine up to $10000 or imprisonment up to 20 years or both for any person to commit robbery or extortion which delays or interstate commerce The law makes no mention of labor unions but teamster officials have declared it was aimed at them They as well as the AFL have called for its repeal Opinion The law was signed by President Truman with a statement that he had been informed by Atty Gen Tom Clark the bill did not deprive labor unions of any recognized rights Mr instructionreveal an intention to steer clear' of violations of this law They urged that the checkers or pickets be and expedite their inspection of truck credentials The campaign is directed primarily at truck drivers working for companies under contract with the teamsters on a union-shop basis Under this scheme nonunion men may be hired but they must become union members in a specified time usually 30 days Mr Beck has directed that all organizers and other field forces of the union be thrown into the trucker check-up from coast to coast If successful it is expected to be followed by similar campaigns in other transportation fields in which the teamsters operate All of it is part of Mr effort to triple the teamsters' present membership of about a million One Aim Is to Check On Drivers i Gale Murrin international representative of the district comprising 10 Southern states who has trusteeship of Memphis Local 667 of the Teamsters Union was out of the city today Other officers of the union speaking unofficially said they wore sure all federal state and local laws would be complied with in the check One purpose of the activity it was understood is to single out drivers who by keeping two or three log books may drive the highways day and night "picking up loads here and and creating a traffic menace Diary of a Three Weeks: 2 Cases: $30 Most of the Days There Was No Work to Do Just Reporting TWO OF THE PICTURES The shot at the left shows what well-dressed Shriners wore to possum hunts in those days Wray Williams under the big pwture hat (definitely not a Dache creation and Dick Guenther under the fez The cigared gentleman in the picture to the right gazing skyward is John Vesey He has treed a possum or thinks he has a little package from his friend and fellow Shrlner Jesse Holdeman He opened the package and stared in amazement Oh no!

If not you might be interested in what happens to a juror I have just finished three jury service Out of the 15 days I was on duty in the courts I only tried two cases Each case took all day Jury service other 13 days took me away from my work only a short time each morning the shortest time being 25 minutes and the longest two hours I was told this three weeks was not as trying on a jury as usual because circuit courts were hearing non-jury calendars and only two criminal courts were using juries But jurors who had served previously when circuit courts were in session too disputed this saying that a larger number of jurors are on duty for those periods so our three-week term was about average my diary for the three weeks: First Week Monday Feb Climbed two flights of courthouse steps to jury room Answered roll call at 9:30 am Was assigned to First Criminal Court Went down two flights crossed street climbed one flight of steps to First Court Was not needed there Down one flight

Thursday March 3 Same routine Selected an Second Criminal Court jury for a case that lasted claim the state hasn't fulfilled its obligations Tho public patients never see a doctor bill everyone pays for the service It is a charge on the national income Most of the cost of running it all but one-sixth is paid out of the national treasury from general taxation The rest is covered by a contribution from the national insurance fund The Health Ministry originally estimated socialized medicine would cost Britain $598700000 in the first nine months The rush for service particularly for free medicine spectacles and dental treatment upset the calculations Two months before the end of the fiscal year this coming March 31 the Health Ministry asked parliament for another $233820000 to meet expenses The British Medical Association which is watching the process closely estimates the annual cost will be closer to a billion dollars That would be more than a third of Britain's normal prewar budget At the present stage it is difficult to determine how much of the coat is going for red tape administrative work One bulky item in the asti-mates however is $6424000 for 138 executive councils in England and Wales which administer the service The Health view on the first nine months' bill is that it covers an abmymal period pent-up demand for treatment is being met which gradually will ease a spokesman said "It really shows that millions more are getting needed treatment they couldn't afford This Is What It Does all-inclusive national health service offers the following: Personal health advice and treatment by doctors and dentists whom the patient chooses It is available at the surgeries at home when necessary or at health centers The latter however still arc in the planning stage

each Memphis company had a separate wave length it would eliminate the need for expensive special cab station telephone systems the cab company spokesmen said As it is radio service has not been good enough to permit elimination of the telephone lines to cab stands Veterans Cab Co and negro cabs do not have radio service "We can save about $9000 a year by going off the Mr Jolly said "As It is with

Says Henry Morgan-Fred Allen By ROBERT RUARK Scripps-Howard Staff Writer NEW YORK If you listened to the radio one recent Sunday night you could have clocked a growing desperatieg? in professional humor It was on the Henry Morgan show which followed Fred What you heard was a kind of play within play within play It was a if a newspaperman wrote a story about people who write stories about people who write stores about newspapers Mr Morgan the elfin despair of all the other sponsors ever had kicked off an unsponsored program Mr Allen was his guest star Fred was written into the act as sponsor and was convincingly onsorish in the cruel Allen interpretation Fred ce referred to highest mucke-ties as thyroid office The Morgan show was pure shop talk devoted to the vast irrationalities of sponsors comics and radio executives It dealt with the war between CBS and NBC for comic talent Mr Morgan spent a great deal of time satirizing the characters on Fred's stock Sunday offering characters who satirize other characters They wound up in a bargain to borrow each other's standard gimmicks just buy it Maybe future generations will not be so passionately interested in toupee or his parrot or his clanking car been operating for years with pure sound gags as our stock in trade and suddenly no good any more "God only knows what Bill Paley (sachem of CBS) will do with all those comics bought got nearly everybody Maybe he want to be rich I understand Benny's signed for 10 years Maybe hates money and will be happy to retire with nothing but comedians Maybe he wants to chuckle himself to death Maybe he figures to use them on television but there's no guarantee television will need Allen himself does not agree as dp so many other panicky radio people that television has already slain the golden gander He figures radio as such will be around as an adjunt forever and that until the number of video sets reaches at least 20 million the competition is still not overpowering His idea is that the survivor today must be equally facile In both media but that the old unseen audience concept of entertainment is dead I know about all this trade thinking but as one of Mr faithful slaves I will bet he winds up somewhere atop whatever heap there is But one thing sure he going to get there by harping on his and Henry's technical problems in the business The customer has enough troubles of his own It was a very funny show if you know anything about the tooth-and-toenail strife among the major networks which are wrestling for eminence out of a deeply bitten fear: That television will curtail radio so drastically that only one or two of the strongest networks will survive But it also demonstrated rather sharply that nearly two decades of static radio humor has decayed to such point that the boys are now building comedy on their own problem of staying alive I was talking with Fred afterward and he admits an end of era in the radio funnyman business He includes himself in the decline and fall He is merely sparring until summer at which time he will attempt to redesign himself for the new interim audience of radio pending the broader diffusion of television around the land all of us at the finish of a Fred was saying been on 17 years and so have I Amos and Andy we're all at the tail end of a vogue We're sort of like John Gilbert and those other silent stars at the beginning of talking pictures We've got to adapt I know is what we do now on the air is no good for television that most of our best and oldest stuff go We have been seUing the same stuff a long time and the video audience.
