Y. (Travel Correspondence) One has to see New York's taxirab traffic to believe it. About four out of five automobiles in the busy districts are cabs. Most Poiiji. "ij of thcm are yeiiow or green, I with a sky-view window in "J the roof. There are a few new cars used as cabs, but the average taxi is a battered (ji" ,1 300,000 to 500,000 miles, in U I DMM UIU U W 1 1 ) n 1 HI icuuvia barely hanging together. This huge fleet of cars is driven by a hardy tribe of men (we haven't seen a wom an cab driver here) whose EPLEY lives are one long battle for position in the wackiest traffic in the world. They go like wild men, from one" traffic signal to another, weaving in and out, jockeying and jostling. They have an uncanny judgment of dense traffic distances, driving alwavs within inches of other cars. The cab fenders show plenty of evidences of smash-ups, but we would guess that even minor accidents arc rare among New York cabs, considering the huge volume of traffic. We haven't seen any cabs in a wreck of any kind, but we have seen a thousand near misses. As a matter of fact, that is the continuous character of New York cab traffic. Cab drivers seem to burn with steady anger at the drivers of "civilian" cars. They have a healthy respect for each other, but none for the ordinary driver, and they shout insulting epithets at him as they go along. Not averse to violating the rules himself, the cab driver assumes the unofficial role of enforcing officer on the private car operators, yelling and raving about innocent infractions. Though they look tough, talk tough and probably are " tough, cab drivers are really pretty good guys if you get to talking to them. They can carry on a lively conversation from the front seat, occasionally looking around, while piloting their old tubs through one hair raising traffic adventure after another. The seasoned New Yorker trust cab drivers Implicitly, sitting indifferently in the car as it careens from one near miss to another. The novice New York cab patron is likely to have heart failure. "Mighty Oregon" A LOT of people around here today are. hum ming "Mighty Oregon," a song they never heard before and probably don't know by name now. The stirring University of Oregon alma mater song was the theme piece for a military band hired by Oregon Elks to march in the Elks parade down Fifth avenue yesterday. It was the only number in the band's repertoire that related to Oregon, a place which probably not a single bandsman had- ever seen. But they did a bang-up job on "Mighty Oregon" which lent itself admirably to the purpose. It was a real thrill for Oregonians particularly University of Oregon folks along the line of march. To reassure Oregon Staters who may not like the Idea, we report that the colorful Oregon floral float featured a huge beaver in orange, too. Incidentally, It was the best float in the arade. lur aching "dogs" remind us this morning that we walked in that parade about 39 blocks of it. Some one asked us to do it for what purpose we don't know, unless to demonstrate that Oregonians. like others, grow portly as they advance into the forties. Reservation Troubles ONE of the compensations of driving our car back here was to avoid those long, hot line-ups to see about public transportation. Having saved ourselves that trouble, we spent a couple of hours standing in line unnecessarily with Willard Ward, Klamath man, at the air lines terminal across the street from our hotel. Willard made air transportation reservations both ways a couple of months ago. When he went to claim his space in Portland, nobody up there knew anything about it. and he had to go upstairs to the highest airline official there to get on the plane. Back here, he ran Into the same trouble. All he could get at the seething terminal across the way was a suggestion that he go out to the airport the day he plans to leave, and wait there hoping there will be a cancellation. The last time we saw him, he was still trying, but had nothing better than the airport chance taking scheme lined up.' We're leaving New York today, and these chronicles will henceforth move westward across the continent. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, July 17 Some flaileri have rhetorically rolled me over the barrel for reporting recently it does not make much difference whether or not we have treaties of peace cooperatively with Russia, and for telling the story of the old politician whose activities worked out about the same fur an enemy as for a friend. These whackers did not understand. They interpreted too gener ously a passing reference. For Russia is neither friend nor enemy. She is something which exists. To date she has been cooperative with some ventures for a joint world peace, but generally she has been antagonistic. She can not be converted to our way of life and peace, because she will accept peace only on her own basis. (See Brooks Atkinson In the New York Times of July 7 and many others as to why this is so, Atkinson concludii.g after a long and truly objective experience in reporting from Moscow that "the most we can hope for is an armed peace the next few years."). Treaties can amount to much, little or nothing. I am reporting on genuine peace, which is what our people want. New thought is developing inside here on this subject. As a result of our experiences in Paris and in the UNO, the thinkers of the administration are clearing their heads of their war propaganda making Russia out to be some thing she was not, and are coming to a fact ual, truthful, realistic viewpoint sooner than the politicians of the administration. Their refreshened minds are working along these following lines: Waste In Conflict HOW do we get along peacefully in a world with a powerful antagonistic force? Well, how do you get along with an antagonistic neighbor? Some people fight him. Most peo ple do nut. To fight him is to waste the energies of both in conflict which may sap your strength and shorten your life even if you are victorious. Most people Just ignore him. They plan their lives for their own purposes. If he wants to come in on some things which the community undertakes, let him come in, and . give thanks to God that he sees some things right at any rate. If he chooses to remain out or is obstructionist of your community pur poses, leave him out. Go ahead and plan as you would, and can. This reasoning is far more sensational than it may appear to you at first glance. It fore casts a whole about-face from the war propa ganda, from the time when it was practically treasonous to doubt that Russia was not our friend, did not go to war to save the world for our kind of democracy, and did not believe in all our freedoms, the freedom of religion, the spirit and the press being most important. It projects a notion of us running beyond treaties to our own full understanding of the basis of them, to maintain our part of the victory in our part of the world, and hope that others come to it in short, it would mean "an armed peace for the next few years." Now all the politicos may not hasten to this banner. Mr. Truman pointed to the marker at Gettysburg which said: "Peace eternal in a nation united." He moved to amend "nation" to "world." So it should be but it cannot be. It is idle to lead people to expect this in the face of what we have encountered in UNO and at Paris and are getting daily from the Moscow press. Politicos may wave some treaties saying so. The prime minister of Britain waved one such when he got out of his airplane from Munich and announced to the world it meant "peace in our time" just before Britain went to war, unprepared. Politicians may pretend the state of the world today is What they in tended all along, and realism will have no ob jection, but if . they pretend peace has been established in the face of facts which all the world knows, they are entering upon most dangerous ground. For such claims will lead inevitably to disarmament, and disarmament will lead to defeat. If you want the peace, you will have to keep it. SIDE GLANCES Vigilance Required WITHIN this last realm of reality is plenty of room in which politicos may safely play without danger or damage, if they wish. But they must not play us into another Pearl Harbor. They must not cut armaments to a point of developing national drowsiness or in ability to defend ourselves. They must not give atom bombs loosely, without justification, around the world. They must not scrap armies and navies as they did before. To have peace they must maintain It with constant vigilance. Perhaps some day the entire world will reach the idealistic and natural state of accepting Christian ideals, and by this I mean the ideals of Christ against war, and in favor of turning the other cheek: To date this has proved in- effective for defense of those ideals. If not downright suicidal. Personally I do not believe the day will ever come on this earth, because Christianity in itself is an ideal few men and nations have fully attained, and for that reason, the life of Christ being supernatural, was proved by simple reasoning to be divine. I think his was an ideal for earth which could be approximated in varying degrees by human ity, but not fully attained this side of heaven by the whole earth. I notice a conflict in all nature, and in humanity, which I suspect will be maintained for more than "the next few years." For example, even if you gained world acceptance of Christianity, I think it natural then to expect revolutions which are wars by another name. But it is our business to keep the ideal there and to maintain it in freedom for all. For that reason, the growth of reason among men of international authority here which I herewith report is all to the good, and a , marked advance in the right direction. Abandon the ideal and you must have chaosr dictator ships, unreason. This is why the accomplish ments at Paris have shed danger behind them in high places. RADIO PROGRAMS WEDNESDAY EVE..
