hurst, 40, faced life imprison
ment today for her part in the
murder of her sixth husband

A jury of nine men and three
women, convinced that Mrs.
Broadhurst planned the slaying
carried out by Broadhurst's ex
chauffeur, convicted her last

tence was eliminated by the
jury's recommendation of life
imprisonment.

eher immediately moved for re
trial and Judge M. A. Biggs
granted the defense 30 days In
which to prepare us case.

shotgun blast on a lonely road
near the Idaho-Oregon border
last October. No date has been
set for his trial.

Mrs. Broadhurst were bigamous-
ly wed several weeks before the
slaying. He said Mrs. Broadhurst
suggested the slaying after they
Tfvent to see the movie, "The
Postman Rings Twice," in which
a husband is slain by his wife
and her paramour.
He said that Mrs. Broadhurst
sent him to kill Broadhurst with
the admonition:
"For God's sake don't fail me.

Why freight rates are going up...
Since 1939, railroad employes have had
three general pay raises totaling 52 io
and the prices of fuel, materials and sup
plies have risen 61eio.
But when the war ended in 1945, the rail
roads were still hauling freight at rates
no higher, and in some cases lower, than
when the war began.
Without increased revenues, railroads
could not meet these costs and also pro
vide improvements in equipment and fa
cilitiesimprovements that are essential
for the low-cost freight and passenger
services which are necessary to America's
high standard of living.
Under these circumstances and almost
a year after the last major wage increase
the Interstate Commerce Commission
recently approved an average increase
in freight rates of 17 Vio'Jc.
Of all the price increases in America to
day, few have been so little and so late as
that in the price of railroad transportation.
How important are healthy rail
roads to a protparoua country?
Only when the railroads are financially
healthy can they provide the new equip
ment, improved road beds, and better
terminal facilities needed for still better
service to you. '
The defense of the nation depends upon
the continuance of the efficient transpor
tation which served the nation so well in
the last war.
The railroads are among the largest em
ployers of labor. They buy over 100,000
different products. They pay big taxes-
taxes which are spent not only for public
schools, public health, and police and tire
protection, but even lot highways, airways,
airports and inland waterways.
Railroads are America's lifeline keeping
' goods Sowing among the 48 states day
and night in ail weather.
They can continue to do this only if thera
is a reasonable balance between income
and outgo. Like yourself, the railroads
must make ends meet!
We are publishing this and other adver
tisements to talk with you at first hand
about matters which are important to
everybody.
