Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS 'A HI travel, growing Ilka a weed, 1 atlll In IU rudiment ary stages. En route to Washington? for rxumplc. yuu still chango planes In Chicago. Chunging planes, like changing trolns, In a mil unco. From the baggago stand, point, It la somcwhut less of a nuliuince, for you're Inclined to truvrl Unlit In the air (the high excess buggugo rate tukes cure of tluit.)

OffKctting this, however, you arc checked on by name from a pawtcngnr llt, and If you aren't there you aro paged by loud peakcr before the plane takes olf. 'A IX this, of course, will change, and change quickly us air travel increases and moro equip ment become available. The tune will come when through planes will whik you from court to coust without a stop. "plIE copy writers for the ad- vcrtlslng agencies become lyric when they write of the comfort of reclining seats. It sounds wonderful in print, but in practice it's a lot of tosh. You sleep sketchily, It is true, but when you woken you feel like a strand of rusty barbed wire that has been tied into a bow knot. Hut nil that will change and soon. Big, Hwlft ships will take off In the morning and drop you on tha other coast long before night. As tho premium on scuts declines, the night planes will have berths like a Pullman. (A sleeper plane carries only HALF os many pussengers so far.) Sleep on an air Pullman, such as tho present overscan Clippers, Is us comfortable as in your own downy bed at home no clicking of tho rails, no swaying on the curves; just a gentle rocking motion like the buby In the tree top. rOWN at Washington.

Modern II To moves fnst. WASHINGTON Is lovely at this season the spring os fur ad vanced as In Northern California. The apple blossoms are about gone, but (heir place is filled amply by the crab-apples. The Pacific Const has NEARLY everything, but when old Mother Nature was stirring up the recipe for It she had an absent-minded moment and left out tho crab upple which is a pity.

Election Lead Held By Roxas MANILA, April 25 AP) ' , President Sergio Osmcna trailed Senate President Manuel Roxus by 73,641 votes In returns tab ulated today from more than one-fourth of the precincts voting In Tuesday's presidential elec tion. Unofficial returns from 3064 precincts out of 14,238 gave: Roxus 376,247. Osmona 302,606. Osmcna, who was behind 82, 2112 votes earlier in the night, thus cut some 8000 votes from his rival's lead In latest reports from 555 additional precincts re porting after the earlier count was made. Deaths arising from disorders in the election rose to four, meanwhile, with the slaying of a policeman in Iloco Stir province of northwestern Luzon. Last Rites Said For Harlan Stone WASHINGTON, April 25 P) With President Truman sitting with his wife and daughter in the front pew, final rites were sold today for Harlan Fiske Stone, chief Justice of the Uni ted States. The brief and Impressively simple funeral service, conduct ed at stately Washington Cathe dral, was attended by a solemn crowd of civilian and military leaders, including congressional and supreme court delegations. Mr. Truman, In a formal cut awny sot directly across the aisle from relatives and close friends of the lato Jurist. OPA Eyes Shoe Price Hike; Costs Of Tires May Go Up WASHINGTON, April 25 (AP) With OPA's approval, the civil ian production administration pushed plans today to suspend a manufacturing control which helped hold shoe prices down during the war. And OPA laid some plans of Its own to boost prices on low cost shoes in an effort to mako more of them available. Meanwhile there wcro these other developments touching consumer needs and pocket books: 1. OPA rushed a survey to dntei'inlne whether its regula tions will jeopardize shipments of men's suits to stores after May. TrVMi '''Ot, .1 (. . t'VM. i r 'j sr wncat ouying program wmui has the effect of closing the market to other buyers, Includ ing millers and food process ors. Grain thus obtained will be used to help feed famine areas. Tho government is In a posi tion to dominate the wheat mar ket because it has been author ized to pay farmers a 30-ccnt-a-bushel bonus over current mar ket prices which are at ceiling levels. Other buyers cannot meet the government offer without violating OPA price ceilings. i MUlors Limited As result, mllWrs are limit ed to supplies or wneat Uiey have on hand. Some have re ported they have enough to last them less than two weeks. By May 1, all mills must reduce their supplies to 21 days' re quirements, if they have more than that amount. Stocks above the 21-day supply must be sold to the government. Just what mills will do for wheat after their 21-day supply runs out is the big question be ing asked by the Industry. Unless tho millers can get supplies from tho government, they will be forced to shut down. . Although officials have not said so, the government no doubt will find it necessary to resell some wheat to millers to enable them to operate after their current stocks run out and until new crop wheat becomes available in July. Con Located Inside Clink SALEM. Ore.. April 25 OP) A state penitentiary convict report ed missing since Easter Sunday told jnilers he was only "playing hide and seek" when found last night after hiding in a pile of fuel sawdust inside the prison here. Warden George Alexander re ported guards prodded the saw dust pile with Iron rods when they searched the prison earlier but had missed jucivin n. Logan, 25, serving 12 years for assault. Jailers found Logan hiding in a shelter near the boiler room and Deputy Warden Eugene Hal loy said the prisoner was covered with sawdust. They reported Logan, who had been committed to the prison three weeks ago, had boasted at the time of his entry that he would escape within a. month. Alexander said he believed Logan was hiding while waiting for a dark or foggy night ?o he could get over the wall, Logan was placed In solitary confine ment today. 2. Dealers met with OPA to discuss the possibility of a tire price Increase. An OPA official estimated the shoe price increases may be about 10 per cent. The plan is to apply it only to models which were made In 1042 and which probably sell for $5 or less. Any tire price increase will be lo offset a wage boost recently granted by the rubber Industry. OPA reportedly already hos in- cncaien to lire producers that they will receive a prlco hike. Tho purpose of today's meeting with dealers Is to decide whether any Increase allowed should be passed on to the public. JflTlAw, 2 KF Lippy Leo Beats Assault Charge NEW YORK, April 25 (AP) Leo Durocht-r, Brooklyn man ager, today wa acquitted by an all-male jury of a charge of second degree assault against a 23-year-old Dodger fun.

The price hike is a half cent a pack on multiple-pack sales, five cents on a carton of 10, and one cent a pack on vending ma chine sales.
