Young is the answer to a railroad patron's prayer. Listen to this from one of the recent PORT DEPOSIT, tin 1 WHEN EAL DC-4 DC-4 CRASHES advertisements, we quote: "If pessimist-thinking, old-line practices and Toonervillo equipment continue to be tolerated then regardless of rate relief, further deficits and bankruptcies are certain. "But if, on the other hand, these liabilities are replaced by modern Ideas and modern trains, our railroads can again be a credit to our country." Mr. Young, moreover, practices what he preaches. For examnle amonir the railroads he acquired a PEOPLE KILLED r.

I VM WASHINGTON PENN. WH few years ago was the Pere Marquette, then a second-rate railroad operating much of the time at a loss. The business philosophy ot the old owners was exactly that of the Southern Pacific today, i.e. csrn "If a section of railroad does not make money then spend less money on it, thus rendering the service worse, or abandon same entirely." The Young philosophy is the exact reverse, Map shows where at least 177 persons were killed In airplane crashes throughout the world In less than two days, marking the blackest period In the history of peacetime aviation.

namely: "If a section of railroad It so it WILL." UNDER President Young's direction the Pere Mar-ouette installed two ultra-modern trains on the run between Detroit and was less than a year ago. What happened? According to Mr. Young, this is what hoppened, we quote "Since the new trains have been in operation they have carried 86 7o more passengers than the old trains over the same route and during the same period of the year, even though the older trains had the benefit of increased war traffic." Moreover, again quoting Mr. Young: "And here Is the proof of the pudding: in less than four years at the present rate, the increase in passenger receipts will equal the total cost of the new streamline trains." Is that good BUSINESS or isn't it? Evervone knows, however, what the S.P. "higher LOSES I Washington, June 2 (U.R) James M.

Curley, 72-year-old mayor of Boston and one-time Massachusetts governor and congressman, lost the final round today in his long legal battle to avoid a jail term for wartime mail fraud conspiracy. The supreme court refused to review his conviction by a district court jury here. The U. S. circuit court of appeals previously had upheld the conviction.

Barring further legal action, the long-prominent democrat now must pay a $1,000 fine and serve a 6-to-18-month sentence imposed on him following his conviction early in 1946. He was a member ot congress at tne time of his conviction. Curley was convicted in connection with the operations of Engineers' Group a wartime contract brokerage firm of which he served as president for a time. The government charged that the firm received $60,000 in fees for contracts which never materialized for the clients who paid for help in getting them. TRUCKER KILLED AS PLANE FALLS Uniontown.

June 2 U.R) Lt. William Stanley stepped unhurt from his smashed army training plane yesterday after it crashed into an automobile and truck during an emergency landing, killing the truck driver. Manager Harold Stevens of the Uniontown airport said the AT-6 trainer, which developed engine trouble on a routine flight, sideswiped a car contain- ing two women as it approached the runway and then smashed into the truck. The truck driver, identified only as James Moss of South Carolina, was killed in-1 stantly. Occupants of the car i were unhurt.

HIT BYSTRIKE Paris, June 2 (U.R) At least 2.000 bakery shops in the Paris area were affected today by a 48-hour protest strike of bakers which caused a temporary 50 per cent reduction in the capital's bread ration. The strike began at midnight. Housewives had no advance warning that a strike was threatened, and many were caught short today. The Seine prefecture cut the bread ration to 150 grams a little more than five ounces) daily for Monday and Tuesday. The striking bakers sought wage benefits.

FRENCH, Owner Riverside at Jackson St. Bridge EX ups" would say if a similar procedure were suggested to them, and of course, between sobs: "How can railroad afford spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on new equipment when costs of labor and materials are constantly rising and net revenues are constantly declining?" Robert Young has an answer to that one too. Here it is, we quote "A modern railroad can't afford NOT to make such outlays given attractive equipment, new comforts and services could open the door on a new era of popular and profitable railroad service." LAGvyARDIA FIELD, N. 40 KILLED WHEN NEW YORK-CLEVELAND UAL DC-4 CRASHES ly in public welfare. No delegations for them before congress in such a way or any other.

Their weekly magazines, news services, were not similarly active. In short, the people whose interests are thus reported to have been "knifed" did not even appear. The CIO plainly is assuming it solely represents the people's interests, an assumption hardly justified either by its limited members of this attempt in its own selfish interest. For an in stance of this, the CIO editors carry a headline on page 5: CIO Wage Gains Soar. Pay Hikes for Half a Million." They do not report that the wages of the other 134,500,000 people soar, although these 134,500,000 are the people they profess to represent.

MOW you might say this was not important unless it was successful. The CIO magazine shows you it is successful. Indented right into the same story is another story concerning this CIO campaign, which started long before May 5 and continues in its unequaled attempt to influence public opinion. This indented story is headed: "For the record. Another link in the antilabor record of the daily press was forged last week.

The Twohey analysis of newspaper opinion reported that 'support of still legislation on labor has crystalized and The analysis, an objective survey of comment in the major daily papers, said that 48 per cent of editorial opinion last week concerned labor legislation. Of comment on this subject 29 per cent favored the stiff house anti-labor bill, while 22 per cent preferred the equally vicious senate bill." a a a MOW let us look at that again. 1 1 If those percentages before May 5 expressed public opinion accurately then, they have certainly been changed by CIO activity. Also in this indented story the CIO is attacking the daily free public press. But union members work in every newspaper office throughout the country, in rcportorial, typographical, telegraphic and I think other positions.

The union thus is attacking its own industrv. Its own job. The extent to which it goes in this respect you may see from its own magazine on page 11. A strong attack is carried there against a certain nationally known soup company, charging it with gambling with the nation's tomato crop. Then it adds: "The union has been trying to negotiate with soup company management since February." Indeed, the former Philadel-' phia publisher.

Mr. David Stern has testified the CIO local union in his extremely favorable shop chased him out of business.
