Life In' Siam and India
Described by Traveler
Descriptions of life in India and Siam are contained in two re
cent letters from Dr. and Mrs. Bert R. Elliott, on a round-the-world
trip by air.
Dr. Elliott last wrote from Darjeeling, on the slopes of Mt.
Everest, and said that they climbed part way up the famous mountain.

the worst place in the United
States in which to live we now
nominate Calcutta as the worst
in the world. Conditions are so
bad we were urged not to stop
there at all, but we wanted to
see the worst, and did. Everyone
has read of these conditions, but
visual education makes for real
ization.
"We arrived in Calcutta in the
middle of the flight and saw
thousands sleeping in the streets.
Among them lay. stood and
walked the sacred cows and
bulls. There are seven million
people, one-third out of work
makes for robbery, begging,
knitjng and dirty looks. We are
not welcome. There are beggars
of all kinds even down on all
fours. One is always the center
, of a crowd.
"It is unsafe to be out at night
and even in the day, if off the
beaten path. In the hotel 15 bear
ers line up for tips like clamor-
: ing vultures, though one feels
sorry for every one of them. It
i is no place for a minister's son.
"Many think Britain, United
! States or Russia must supervise
them. All seem "leery" of Rus
sia. They regret absence of the
English.
J "At the burning ghats several
groups, each with their dead
' loved ones on a cheap cot, were
in the different stages of the
cremation rites, which takes
; three hours. Nearly all urged me
to take pictures of their dead and
send them photos.
I ' Sacred cattle lie at the en
trance of business houses, al-
. most blocking the doors of
banks, etc. I took a photogenic
bull, lying in the shade, by the
horns hoping to get him into the
sun for a picture. The usual
crowd (or mob) so increased in
size and noise that I desisted.
; The preceding letter came
from Bangkok. Thailand, and
the traveler described the cre
I mation of two Siamese prin
1 cesses. He wrote that the colorful
procession consisted of a many
colored and highly built-up
1 hearse, drawn by two black
horses followed by floats, one of
I which carried the Buddha priest,
I end a 100-piece band in brilliant
red. 200 persons in black, etc.
"They all paraded around and
around the high band-stand like
pyre, and finally carried the
coffins up the long steps for cre
mation," he wrote. "The king
was to come later to touch off
the match to the fire."
"Incidentally, the king is be
ing married today. Flags are
flying and banks and offices are
closed. It is called a holy day.
"The lowest temperature in
the last 24 hours was 81 de
grees." "The floating markets here
along the "klongs" or canals are
unbelievable. The thousands of
boats and huts on stilts are the
homes and markets of thousands
of people. Sewage, dead dogs,
vegetation and all sorts of waste
floats slowly by. Ducks, geese
and children swim about. Moth
ers bathe their babies, wash the
breakfast dishes, do the laundry
and bathe themselves in the ca
nals. A woman with a 10-foot
pole with a little basket on the
end, not unlike a church collec
tion box of other days, reaches
out and snares an article in the
water she considers of value.
"These boats are coffee shops,
candy or pastry stores, restau
rants, meat markets, fish, cloth
ing, pot and pan stores and what
have you. The canals are only
30 to 150 feet wide one must
keep his elbows inside the boat."
Dr. Elliott ended by saying
that film is very high, but the
cost of laundry and hair cuts
low. the latter being only 19
cents.

Firemen's

This ridiculous strike is on affront to every
citizen of the nation. It's not for more money. It's
not because of hours. It's only for soft fcothor
bedding p ots for additional unnecessary
firemen to go along in diesel locomotives just for
the ride. A leading liberal newspaper calls the de
mands of the union leaders 'horse-feathers"!
The reckless leaders of the firemen's
union want to force down the throats
of the railroads and the public a ridic
ulous "make-work" proposal which has
been twice ruled out by Presidential
Fact Finding Boards duly appointed
under the provisions of the Railway
Labor Act.
This demand of union leaders for
additional and unnecessary firemen to
ride in diesel locomotives was rejected
after months of hearings by a Board
appointed by President Roosevelt in
1943.
It was again rejected in 1949 by a
Board appointed by President Truman.
Recent meetings with the National
Mediation Board have brought no
change in the attitude of the union
dictators.
Union Leaders Defy Intent of Law
The union leaders helped write the
Railway Labor Act. Yet in an attempt
to jam through this scheme of pure
"feather-bedding" by leading the mem
bers of their union out on strike and
threatening paralysis to large areas of
the nation, they are defying the spirit
and intent of the very law which they
helped to create.
This strike is not for higher wages.
It is a strike to force the railroads to
employ msny more thousands of fire
men who are not needed! It would be
indefensible waste. The railroads have
refused to place this additional and
unnecessary burden on the public.
But more important than any other
consideration, is the action of these
few irresponsible union leaders in seek
ing to force a crippling strike upon the
