Drivers Pull Big Salaries CHICAGO CPU - He who drives a truck rides on the w heels of fortune. He may bring home $13,000 a year. And so do the truck driver's as sociates, without whom he'd nev er get on (he road, according to a report by the American Trucking Associations, Inc. The field of trucking absorbs the services of teachers, clerks, engineers, accountants, skilled workers, doctors, lawyers, mer chants, firemen an insurance specialists. Paul E. Moler, personnel direc tor of Consolidated Krcightways, Inc., said: "We can use people from every field." Astronauts. Indian chiefs and politicians. And union bosses. The industry isn't so brash as to claim a larger number of em ployes than the government, but vows it ranks second. And the in dustry says a public servant rare ly makes a trucking salary. The association is intent on ex ploding the theory that trucking is made up of a bunch of hulk'ing tough guys who habitale road side eating spots. When it comes to income, many of the long - haul drivers took home more than $15,000 last year, the association claims. As for the trucker's cultural and education' level, the industry .says a driver with a college de cree is no longer a rare bird. lOpera lovers, stereo addicts and Ipart-lime artists are flooding the industry, the industry report said. ; The truck driver often heads a suburban family, belongs to the country club and sends his ehil dren to college. ! Truck drivers are so well paid, reports the International Brother Ihood ol Teamsters, that the union ! intends to examine drivers' tax brackets before deciding how hard to hit management in next October's contract negotiations.

Firemen Subdue Gas Line Blaze A machine being used on the La cuna Street repair project Fri day morning apparently clipped off a natural gas line and flames shot more than 13 feet into the air. City firemen quickly subdued the fountain of flames with a chemical extinguisher and the leak was sealed by a California Pacific Utilities Company crew. The gas which shot out of the damaged gas line was apparently ignited by a spark, firemen said. The incident occurred at 9:30. What can the average driver do to halt the resumption of the point program, - Be ready, for the unexpected whenever you see a group of chil drcn in a schoolyard or near a street. Baseballs, basketballs and- footballs lake strange bounces, and make children forget about oncoming traffic, Give yourself an even greater margin for safety in rainy or win ter weather, when streets are slick and it becomes much hard er to stop quickly. . Whether schools arc in ses sion or not, keep your car in top mechanical condition. Be sure it will respond to your command. In addition to its campaign for lhe 'prevention of deaths in traf fic accidents, the council has urged better fire protection in schools, more school bus control and safctv. and continued c.xpan- courses in the high schools. The council urges all school dis tricts to install automatic sprin kler systems as well as fire ex tinguishers and fire alarms. As the result of an extensive testing program tlie council found that no fire alarm system was univer sally satisfactory. Nearly 43 million children will use school buses daily this year. School nflicials stress that the students' salety depends much on the behavior of passengers.

Nationalization In UAR Grabs Transports, Drugs CAIRO (UPIi-Two years after the government's whopping take over o more than three-quarters of the country's private busi ness, the nationalization, drive in the United Arab Republic is con tinuing. The government recently nation alized eight contracting, transport and navigation companies and 14 pharmaceutical products firms. Compensation to former owners will be paid in the usual form of slate bonds redeemable over long periods. Earlior. nearly 400 apartment blocks and office buildings, among the most luxurious in the country, were taken over in a roundabout way. The buildings, mostly in Cairo, Alexandria and other big cities, formerly belonged to wealthy per sons whose property was put un der sequestration in 1961 and 1962 in President Carnal Abdel-Nas ser's bid to trim the power of the rich. The sequestration au thorities sold them to insurance companies, which all are government-owned. The prices, in some cases lower than original costs, will be paid by the insurance companies to the Sequestration department in annual install ments over the next lo years, tne former owners will get their mon ey back if and when sequestra Uon is lifted.

Valued at about 500 million pounds, the nationalized estab lishments went from the hands of 5,622 big capitalists and sharehold ers to government-run "general organizations, operating compan ies of their own. Nasser repeatedly has staled in speeches that the government is determined to take over all ma jor "means of production" but not to the complete detriment of the private sector of the economy. He said naional capitalism" mean ing small, non-monopolizing capi tal would be given enough room to work so long as it does not e.x.ploit the public. But it would have to operate under slate super vision, he said. Supreme Guide This policy was incorporated in the National Charier adopted last year as the supreme guide of'thc U.A.R. s future actions. 'JThc people's (state! control over all the tools of production does not necessitate the national ization of all means of production or the abolition of private owner ship," the Charter said. It per mitted the existence ol "a private sector that would, without e.xploi tation, participate in development within the framework of its over all plan." But as the situation stands now, the private sector is shrinking steadily. The government is reported considering a plan under which import permits would be issued to government owned organiza tions and companies only. If adopted, .such a measure would eliminate private business com pletely from the country's foreign trade.

Many professional writers as well as statesmen and military men who jot down their memoirs seem to preler working on a U manuscript in pencil. Former President Herbert Hoover wrote his autobiography in pencil. He told publishers it helped him "eliminate excess wordagc." Gladys Schmitt, au thor of the ()j7-pagc novel, "Rem brandt," switched from typewriter to pencil and notebook when writ ing about the famous Dutch paint er. "I am inclined to write more slowly 'with a pencil," she ex plained, "and can make changes more easily." Field Marshal Montgomery wrote iiis 200.000-word memoirs in pencil. Ernest Hemingway's works also came through the tip of a pencil. Dr. Norman Vincent Pcale said he wrote a second best-seller in pencil because 30.000 words he had dictated for "The Power ol Positive Thinking" had to be thrown away. Like Hoover, Dr. Pcale said a pencil kept him from being verbose. Many of our presidents used Shop Today 10 Till 7 At Store No. 2 South 6th & Shosto Woy OPEN TILL MIDNIGHT Monday thru Sat.

Tyf mo MAS (W) TlsEiTcARSl "WHERE SERVICE GARAGE TU 4-7716 Sunday, August II, HKRAI.l) AND NEWS, Pick Out Own Clothes, Designer Informs Men NEW YORK (UPK-BiU Blass. who is a famous designer in his own right, thinks designers hould stay away from men's' clothing. And he also thinks men hould pick out their own clothes and not let their wives do it for them. By picking out his own clothes and not bothering to design any thing for himself he achieves a sartorial elegance rarely seen in these parts. Suits and shoes are custom made but "I wear ready made shirts thev fit well and they're so expendable." Blass. who has won two Fash ion Critics Awards as a designer for Maurice Rentner Ltd., dis misses the thought of designing men s wear with: A so-called design would just be a collection of gimmicks and men don't want gimmicks. They should find out what looks good on them and stick to that." Personally I'm bored with the Madison Avenue type of dress," he said. "I suppose it's because 1 am in Europe so much 1 pre fer the English look even though there is some conformity there loo. Tile English are never afraid their masculinity or virility will be questioned if they wear some thing offbeat. I'm afraid actors and ac tresses are really the only ones who seem to influence men's dress. Cary Grant has a very good effect. But that doesn't go lor California. In Beverly Hills Hills men wear sports jackets' when their wives are in evening dress. It is not very conducive to good dress." During the daytime Blass wears old plaids and stripes, usually with a solid blue shirt and a plain black knitted lie and explains: "If a man wants to be daring he should do it in the day time. I have to wear a dinner jacket five or six nights a week and that's no time to wear any thing daring. "I stick to black none of those fancy things. I also like to light up a cigar after dinner. It has a certain elegance, or style. s very masculine and is some tiling tlie ladies haven't latched on to. And if you arc going to light up alter dinner lor heavens sakes be sure it's the right kind a slim nanatella or maybe a corona if you lliink you've really arrived.

And about the women: "I deplore tlie fact tliat so many women help select men's clothes. The American woman has a dreadful tendoncy to over accessorize. Men should be more casual. Mr. Astaire does it to perfection. He is so well put to gether it looks like a throwaway. "The most important advice is that you can't bq successfully at tired unless you're comfortable.

They buy the most bizarre hat for themselves but suddenly be come over-praclical when they're buying for pop. I think instinc tively they don't want a man to be better dressed than they arc.
