FOUR MEDrOHD MAIL TRIBUNk friday. Not. J3, IMS COMMUNICATIONS Letters to the Editor matt belt the aamt and eddr.se ot the writer, although the use ut a pen-name or Initiate tor publication le permit Hale, The Mall Tribune reiervee the rlaht to edit all leltert with a view to elarlty and oondenaattoa Fn Protests To the editor: It was with .mnmnnt anrl admiration that I witnessed the exhibit of the "American way" ana me tree ..i.mrlo" ivntem in connection with the sale of reserved scats for the Mcdford-Grant looinan game. Even in high school sports the school officials seem to under stand very thoroughly the theory of scarcity economics. I really admire the cynicism of the school official who wants to continue the imposition of scarcity in seating capacity thus enabling the school and others to cash In on the demand. I stood In a line of about BOO people the other morning for better than two hours awaiting an opportunity to purchase two tickets for the Thanksgiving day game, only to learn that the first 80 in the line had been per mitted to buy 10 tickets each, thus exhausting the available supply of reserved seats. Later I was offered tickets at fS per each ticket by certain profiteers and "scalpers." Still later I learned that high school .4,.Ania wnrlt enlicitinff Sale of reserved scats at 15 for the game with plenty or ticKets Bvaiiauii at the price. But at least 450 people were turned away Tues day morning because the re served seats were all sold out. All this mny be very satisfac tory from the commercialized high school sports standpoint. Nevertheless, I shall no longer bt interested In the Mcdford high school football team. C. B. WALKER. Navy Vs. Army To the editor: This struggle ll not a football contest, as the caption would Indicate, but Is one arising oyt of a very sane suggestion by someone knowing all the facts relating to the fric tion between these two branches of our service that they should be consolidated under one head, aald consolidation to Include the Ir forces, with a top ranking lr man in full command ai fu ture: wars will ba won by the contestant having the greatest air power. War, like everything else has stepped out of the horse and buggy age of slow motion into one of speed, not on the water, but in the air, with bomber fighting and pursuit planes, with speed up to S0O miles per hour, with fast transport planes capa ble of landing regiments fully equipped for several days in the field. W have only to glance at what the air forces accomplish ed in Japan and the South Pa cific in conjuction with the trained ground forces, to place this new arm of our defense service on the top rung of the ladder and Just below them on the second rung, the gallant forces comprising all units of the infantry, the backbone of all lighting forces In any man's war. Now as to the disposition ot the navy, we have no more use for giant battleships, cruisers and destroyers. They are too slow, they belong in the horse and buggy age. They are too easy a mark for the airman; they should be dispensed with and their personnel transferred to the coast guard and marines or used In building up a large merchant marine to carry the products of our factories and the surplus of our farms to the dwellers on the shores of the seven seas. G. H. Young. Walcoma Home Union Style To the editor: I am a returned veteran of 42 months of over seas duty. I have gone through the hell of Guadalcanal, New Georgia, Battle of the Coral Sea, Tulagl, Tlnian, Tarawa, then on to Saipnn, Iwo Jima and Oki nawa. Sick and suffering from fever and after waiting two months for transportation home I finally arrived back in the States, the land of the free, (so it Is called.) I received a discharge and went out to find one of the many Jobs we veterans have been promised. I found one. Swell employer and good hours. On the third day a fugitive from the draft board approached ma and said, "hey Bud, do you belong to the union?" I replied "no". So ha aaya, "well, It you want to work you had better wise up and Join the union or else." I told him I was a re turned veteran and according to the G. t. Bill of rights I did not have to Join a union. So he says, "well, you boys run the show over there, but here we do." I honestly was dumb-founded. My employer was helpless. The union racketeer told me to eith er Join up In three days or make myselt scarce. Rather than cause my employer any grief or a chance to be picketed I walk ed off the Job. Not because I was acared but because Ive seen enough trouble. Is this what we have been fighting for? I've seen whiter fellows on the Japanese islands in the South Pacific. .While your sons, fathers, brothers, and the husbands have been through the bloody hell of war these draft-dodgers have been sitting back like an octo pus and slowly squeezing the life out of the country. I be lieve there are other veterans who have gone through this. It so why not let the public know what is happening. Surely the unions as a whole are not proud of what la happening. You won der why some of us are bitter. Well, who has a better right to be? It is time for a home front cleaning so let's get started. I, for one, am going back Into the service and ask for foreign duty. An Ex-Marine. (Name on file.) 5. P. Will Borrow For Equipment San Francisco, Nov. 23 (U.PJ Arrangements have been com pleted by the Southern Pacific Co. for a loan of $12,000,000 frorrr a group of banks headed by The Union Trust Co., of Pitts burgh and The First National Bank of Chicago, it was an nounced today.
