The chance ol recognition with a Pulitzer Prize would reduce that "pressure," he colH in ffprt To lift out of context- one phrase of Miner s caiciuny marsnaiea r tmmmt mav be unfair.

Rail, Truck Fight Starts WASHINGTON W The railroads and the trucking Industry square olf today In the battle over a new national transportation policy. . A House Commerce subcommit tee called as its first Industry wit ness J. Carter Fort, vice president and general counsel of the Associ ation of American Railroads. Ho was expected to endorse with en thusiasm the administration's plan for rewriting transportation law by relaxing government regulation of railroads and otner common car Tiers. The second witness, James Pinckney, general counsel of the American Trucking Assns., was ex pected to denounce the proposals. The ATA contends they would give the railroads "a hunting license and ammunition to destroy com petitors." The proposals wouldglve com mon carriers greater leeway to re- - vise rates and would curb tne au thority of the Interstate Commerce Commission to postpone proposed rate changes when complnlnts are Wed by competitive carriers or by shippers of goods. Motor truck operators contend the plan would permit the rail roads to cut rates until their less well-heeled competition was elimi nated, then boost their freight charges. Highway carriers also contend the program would free .the railroads to enter the trucking field. James G. Lync, chairman of the Federation for Railway Prog ress, said the proposed changes would 'Improve transportation service with maximum economy of costs for the benefit of shippers and passengers," ELAST TIME TODAY I 5it Cruz minim mum tffiHK&j r3 IMImaScOPE Marilyn MONRO! Robert MITCHUM Kory CALHOUN X Miitniil. CHAPMAN tHOHTS . OBTOON ; America may have destroyed some creative talent by Ignoring it. But It bes yet to be proved to my satisfaction that America ever lias destroyed much talent by over paying it, by offering it plush Jobs. Once In a while somebody says, "Poor Sm.th (or Jones) showed real nromlse before he began writ ing for television (or Hollywood)." The tone Is aggrieved, as if it's a plot by society to rob a writer of his heritage. Actually it's a de cision made Individually by Smith or Jones. He has decided whether lie wants money or critical ac claim. He has not been seduced; he's made a decision. A great writer is always larger than the economic atmosphere ol his times, even when he yields to some of its pressures. Both Lord Byron and Charles Lamb wrote advertising copy at one time or another. That Mark Twain was lond of money, dabbled in (and was financially ruined by) busi ness, and exhausted nimseii on tne lecture plallorm, did not prevent him from writing a great Ameri can novel, "Huckleberry Finn." A hack will always be a hack. But If a writer has something to cay and Is determined to say it he cannci be ruined by worklne in the uold mines ol advertising or lecturing or Hollywood or tele- j vision today any more man ne ever was. Yes. It would be fine if the Pulit zer Prize Commit'ee recognized television writing. But the chance ut a Puhtr-er Prize never will pre vent plenty of talented wrltcrii from trying for television gold. Erie Crash Kills Fliers ERIE, Pa.

Thomas Bayes Jr. gave "welcom- in?" talks at a Communist prls. oner ol war camp in Korea in which he denounced "Wall Street warmongers," according to wit nesses at his court martial here. Tie 32-year-old Flat Lick, Ky., soldier is charged with 14 counts of collaboration with the enemy while a prisoner of war. Two former POW's, Henry M. Lyman of Eureka, Calif., and Frederick Llddell,-, 26, Eugene Ore., ' testified yesterday, that Bayes was a "greeter"- at camp and had called ihe United States Ihe aggressor in the Korean War. "Bayes called the United States the aggressor in the Korean War and said we were being used as cannon fodder by wall Street war mongers," Lyman testified. Both men also said that Bayes did not appear to have lost weight in the prison camp. Llddell r. marked thai Bayes appeared thin ner now than when he was in the camp, . ' The Army contends that Bayes lived better and did not lose weight oecause he made propa ganda statements and broadcasts for the Chinese Communists, Junta Might Replace Peron WASHINGTON 'UP i Diplomats here expect a military Junta to rule Argentina for several months while ways are sought to bring back constitutional Democracy to replace the Peron dictatorship. They do not rule out entirely he possibility that Peron might still wiggle out of the situation In which he was forced to oiler his resignation by a combined revolt uf the navy and a large part of the army. Diplomats, however, said lha this time it looks as if his hold on power had probably run out If so, it came as an accumulation of disappointments among the populace over the economic situa lion and resentment at nls treat ment of the Roman Catholic Church, experts said. The revolt apparently was led by conservative elements In the army and navy, which want the economy restored, civil liberties re-instated and the Catholic church left free to operate as usual. However, as in many revolutions the military leaders may disagree among themselves on the means of taking such steps. Diplomats speculated that this might lead to the emergence of another "strong man" and a new era of one-man government. for example, telia about a scna bus driver who was fired for n. fusing to sign a loyalty oath.
