Dear Ray: , .
“Probably you have already

“We would like very much for

pared to go to the 8outh end
where you will form a line
through which Davey will pass
as he proceeds to the center of

While perfection probably is
too much to expect—even for
one day—from a combination of
about 72 million drivers and 58
million motor vehicles, no sen-
sible person would argue for a
minute that the usual toll can-
not be substantially cut by more
sensible driving.
It's too bad that such a wor-
thwhile effort must be limited
to only one day. The sponsors
apparently think so, too, bees
HELPING “THE LITTLE
FELLOW*'
There Is much talk to the
effect that If federal Income
taxes are reduced next year the
emphasis should be on helping
“the little fellow"—father than
people of larger means or busi-
ness enterprises.
Henrv T’azlltt, In one of his
Newsweek columns, made an
apt comment on that Idea. He
pointed out that It takes an In-
vestment of about $12,500 to
create a lob In American In-
dustry, and said, “This tremen-

Your rights and privileges as an
American citisen are protected by
the Constitution, a unique and
magnificent document whose
principles are as sound today as
when written, over 150 years ago.
Through the years, amendments
have been added to keep the Con-
stitution up-to-date.
The same is true of the regula-
tory powers of the Interstate Com-
merce Commission. Congress has
enacted more than 150 amend-
ments to the Interstate Commerce
Act since it was passed in 1887,
completely overhauling it twice.
In principle, present ICC regu-
lations governing the various
transportation systems are perti-
nent, constructive, and modern in
concept. Under these principles,
we have developed the greatest
