Loc>:ng back over the files of the Star
we find that Jerry Sadler made a speech in
Electra ’'oi-tly after his election as Railroad
Commissioner and he said will see that
justice done to North Texas Oil Fields?’
Consulting the files still later we find Olin
Culberson here making the same promise!
- - - about as neai’ as we can figure it out, it
was "N < justice?’ We often elect misfits,
cfrnnbelh inefficients, or what have you, but
' He walked silently through the lobby of
a hotel in Fort Worth. No one paid any at-
tention to him . . . and most, of those who
knew him turned their backs as he passed.
Not that he cared, because he always hated
the public and crowds . . . except when he
was praising Hitler and asking us to be paci-
fists. Just this week they changed the name
of a park in Sant Antonio bearing his name
to MacArthur Park, and at the same time
changed name of Japanese Sunken Gardens
to Chinese Sunken Garden. We don’t have to
tell you it was Lindbergh ... it could have
been no one else!

I often wonder if the public relations de-
partments of our armed forces realize just
what a boy will do just to spend a few hours
in his old home town. If they did perhaps
they could make it possible for homesick boys
to be home just a little bit more often.
Recently three young Army Air Corps offi-
cers-drove--night and day from California,
* *
both coming and ^going so they might be at
home three oY' four days. Last week a sailor -
coming home to see his parents and old pals
(what few might be here now) decided the
overcrowded and slow trains and congested j
busses were not making fast enough time and
to (speed things up he hitch-hiked the last
last two hundred miles. Tuesday night an-
other young pilot officer, came in to see his
parents for just one day and a half. He and
a fellow officer took time driving while the
other slept in the turtle back of a coupe. No
force can break a nation with home ties like
this.

According to national statistics 90 per
cent of those arrested for traffic violations
including speeding and reckless driving are
those who are entitled ±o new tires. In the
evening I often sit near a stop light on the
main highway through here, and it is pain-
ful to hear those big trucks with trailers,
that are almost a mass of wheels and tires
come to loud, screeching stop, just because j
the trucks have air brakes and they are easy
to apply and because the driver doesn’t care1
because his boss can get some more tires.
