Today's Roundup
Br MALCOLM EPLEY
NEW YORK, N. 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.
