Transportation
Ban Still Tight
WASHINGTON. May 10 (AP)
- No easing of the transportation
squeeze will result from the end of
the war in Europe, the office of de
fense transportation said today.
Describing the next 12 to 15
months as the “most critical in the
history of American transporta
tion," ODT Director J. Monroe
Johnson said in a statement that
it might become necessary to es
tablish a system of priorities to
cover the movement of civilian
commodities.
Civilian travel in the Pacific
coast area “will become well-nigh
impossible at times during the
coming months,” Johnson said.

You don't say? Not really? Well
that IS about the last straw!
Well, I promised faithfully not
to tell this, but I can’t keep it quiet
a minute longer. The other day I
just happened to be sitting in Rob
inson’s drinking a coke when I
overheard that a certain Dodie and
a certain Don were thinking about
tying that certain knot in the not
too distant future. If congrats are
in order I want to be the first be
cause they certainly are two swell
kids.
Boy, it must be nice to treaa
clouds. They say that Bill Donald
son and Max Davis, Chi Omega,
are doing just that.
Buck on the Go
“The” Buckshot and Patsy Clair
of Chi Omega are making the
round again.
Not to be too inquisitive, but
why did Bob Prowell buy a lamp
at the auction Wednesday that
sadly lacked light globes?
Pardon me while I order another
coke . . . Well things are certainly
looking up for the male sex around
here. They tell me boys are worth
from §10 to §98 which is a paltry
sum for what you get.
Boy I wish that I had a “Max
well.” Maybe somebody would
come down from Portland and go
to the prom with me ? Huh, Pete ?
All’s quiet at the Theta house,
because now they got their Bill.
Boy, those swimming parties at
the Gamma Phi's at night must
really be fun.
He’s Got It!
Elmo Salstrom has certainly
been giving everybody a break,
what has that man got that gets
him all the gals?
The atmosphere in this establish
ment is getting somewhat stuffy.
You know a column written by a
man is a pretty hard accomplish
ment; especially when it pertains
to such little things as gossip. I’m
sorry I couldn't get everybody in
this time but T have to catch a bus
down to Oak street. So long co’s
and ed’s be good, have fun!

The bewildered guest eyed the
youngster who was driving nails
into the furniture. Turning to the
hostess he remarked: ‘‘Don’t you
find it rather expensive to let your
child play like that?”
“Not at all," the hostess replied,
"I get the nails wholesale.”
Junior: How old did you say she
was ?
Senior: Somewhere in her middle

For Gl's Told

point score of 85—based on length

therhood—are eligible for release,
the war department disclosed to
day.
One child, one year in the army,
one year overseas count 12 points
each under the system for cutting
the fighting force. Each combat
decoration adds five points.
Approximately 1,300,000 men, in
cluding 650,000 in Europe and 433,
000 in the Pacific area, will be re
leased during the next 12 months
under the plan.
This number may be stepped
higher by maintaining draft calls
above actual replacement needs.

scheduled to be released from ser
vice because of physical disability,
age, or other factors.

Faces and
Places
By SHUBERT FENDRICK
A mysterious sadness has
over the University of Oregon. All
is quiet and melancholy. This is
caused, observers believe, by the
fact that I left for the navy last
Tuesday.
“This is absolutely my last terri
torial demand," said Hitler as they
lowered him into his grave.
Darrell Boone, Darrell Boone,
Darrell Boone, Darrell Boone, Dar
rell Boone, Darrell Boone! There,
I mentioned your name six times
in my column—pay me.
I was turning in my ROTC uni
form and was leaving for the ri?foy.
The students of the University
were celebrating V-E day, while
on the porch of the ROTC building
stood Major Averill. The chance
was too good to miss. I held up
the uniform, bounded gaily up the
steps, and shouted: “War’s over—
don’t have to take ROTC any
more.”
# * Si
I guess the navy was scraping
the manpower barrel, and finally
scraped through. It’s too bad they
didn’t call me to arms a little
sooner — I could have been jjaur
chin-up boy. ,
}•: ij: Jj: r
And now, goodbye to all my
friends—both of you, and to all
of you people who read this stuff
I wi'ite.
Major: I’d like to talk to some
one around here with a little au
thority.
Private: That’s me, sir. I've got
as little authority as anyone.
railroad's roadbed has a lot to do
with travel comfort. A well-built roadbed
does away with annoying, sleep-disturbing
bumps . . . like a boat breasting a choppy
sea. It gives you "smooth sailing."
The kind of gravel used for roadbed bal
last is an important factor. Union Pacific
uses a special, sturdy type of crushed
granite which stands up particularly well
under wartime's heavily loaded freight
and passenger trains. Then, too, it acts as a
"cushion," resulting in more comfortable rid
ing and less wear on locomotives and cars.
Thus, even the ballast used on the rail
road's roadbed plays its part in efficient,
'round-the-clock transportation of troops
and essential battle-line freight over
Union Pacific's Strategic Middle Route,
uniting the East with the Pacific Coast.
★ ★ ★ ★
Future "smooth sailing" over life's high
way can be assured by holding tight to
the war bonds we now have .. . and, as
an extra measure of economic protection,
buying as many more as we can pos
sibly afford.
