Philly Taxis Also
Vote To Strike
PHILADELPHIA, </P) — Phila
delphia’s millions, on foot or in
automobiles, felt the full impact of
the four-day-old transit strike to
day. But most people got to work
anyway.
It was a nightmare of travel.
Cars and trucks, bumper to bump
er, clogged the city’s streets. Po
lice estimated more thna 400,000
vehicles were in use, twice the
normal number.
The 3,850 drivers and mechan
ics of the Yellow Cab company
voted to postpone a strike until
6 a.m. Thursday. The walkout had
been set to start at midnight to
night. Similar action was expected
from 300 independent cab drivers.
Business and industry moaned.
The chamber of commerce set the
daily strike loss at $10,000,000. In
wages alone, the chamber said,
Philadelphians are losing nearly
two million dollars.
Some factories reported absen
teeism up to 30 per cent.
Hospitals sent out an SOS.

ROBERT BROWNING
(POETRY) LIVES ON
| REDLANDS, Calif. (^—Speak
ing of immortality, take the case
of the late Elizabeth Barrett
Browning’s late husband.
Envelopes addressed to "Mr.
Robert Browning” are being re
ceived at the University of Red
lands.
i It happens every year, sighs Dr.
L. E, Nelson, chariman of the
university’s annual Robert Brown
ing poetry contest.
• The good professor thinks it
should be made more public that
Browning has been dead, lo these
60 years, that it’s only his poems
which live on.
HOUSING AUTHORITY WILL
NOT BUILD HOMES
JUNEAU, m — The Alaska
Housing Authority will not aid in
the construction of homes except
where private builders are unable
to meet the demand for moderate
cost housing.
The new policy, adopted at a
regular session, differs from that
of similar agencies in the United
States, where the basic function is
to build, operate and manage pub
lic housing.
The Authority added, however,
that it will “cooperate in united
efforts to relieve critical condi
tions wi’hout jeopardizing stand
ards of living.”

i Kettering Heads
Cancer Fund
Raising Campaign
The American Cancer Society
has announced the appoin’ment of
Charles F. Kettering, industrialist
and scientist, as chairman of its
: 1949 fund-raising campaign.
The drive will be held during
April, which, by Act of Congress
and Presidential proclamation, is
National-Cancer Control Month.
In announcing the appointment,
Eric Johnston, chairman of the
board of the Society, termed Ket
tering “an ideal choice” to spear
head the nationwide drive. “His
leadership should prove a great
inspiration-to everyone of the
thousands of volunteers who are
fighting cancer.”
Kettering’s first official act was
to call upon the 60 divisions of the
ACS, of which the Alask^ Divi
sion is a recent addition, to raise
a minimum of $14,500,000 for the
support of research, detection and
diagnostic facilities and public
and professional education.
Mrs. Mildred R. Hermann, Com
mander of the Alaska Division of
the American Cancer Socie'y,
states that plans are under way
for the Alaska campaign. A chair
man will be named in a few days
and a thorough and far-reaching
program of education and infor
mation on this most vital subject
will get under way in the Terri
tory of Alaska .
Anthony Asks
“Rigid Control” Of i
Park Wolves
WASHINGTON OP)—Naturalist
Harold E. Anthony asked for
“rigid control” of the wolf popu- ;
lation of Mount McKinley Nation- j
al Park. Alaska.
i
Anthony said such control, in- j
volving the hunting and trapping
of wolves, is necessary to pre
serve the park’s herd of the un
usual and beautiful white moun
tain-sheep known as Dali Sheep.
Wolves were protected at Mount,
McKinley until 1945, at which
'imp elimination of 15 of the es
timated 40 to 60 there was or- •
dered.
Dean of the scientific staff of |
New York City’s American mu
seum of natural history, Anthony |
reported to the national Dark serv
ice advisory board, meeting here, I
on a wildlife census of the park;
which he and naturalist Ralph
Friedman conducted last summer.
Anthony is a member of the ad
visory board.
Anthony said the census con
vinced both men that estlma es
that there are about 600 Dali sheep '
in the park are fairly accurate. I

'Independents Say
CAB Regulations
Give “Death Knell”
SEATTLE, (A3) — A spokesman
for the National Independent Air
Carriers asserted today the civil
aeronautics board is attempting to
regulate them out of business, and
said it would ask Congress to in
vestigate the CAB.
Amos E. Heacock, Seattle, chair
man of ‘he NIAC’s executive com
mittee, asked for a Congressional
inquiry in a brief he said would
be presented at a CAB hearing in
Washington, D. C., tomorrow.
He said the hearing is upon a
CAB plan to impose regulations
that “will be a death knell” to in
dependent air-carrier service.
Heacock said the independent
carriers are asking Congress not
only to investigate the CAB, but
also to investigate the CAB, but
nautics act of 1938.
Congress, he said, should inves
tigate “why we do not have uni
versal first class mail by air.”
“Since mail can now be trans
ported for 18 cents a ton mile by
air,” he added, “why is it that
many many times this amount is
paid for the service? Why, indeed
are the nation’s mails transported
by rail at 23 cents a ton mile?”
Heacock traced development of
independent air service to Alaska
and said it had been “proved con
clusively by testimony of persons
of many diverse Alaskan interests
that what the people of Alaska
want is more and better non
scheduled service."
Non-scheduled carriers, he said,
“brought a new standard of living
to Alaska by their rate competi
tion.”
“The kangaroo court which the
CAB will hold tomorrow, which
will satisify due process under the
administrative procedure act but
which will not do us justice, will
not be the last round," Heacock
added.
“Congressmen are aroused, and
I hope for and expect a Congres
sional investigation that will take
the controversy out of the CAB’s
hands and give us a hearing where
we can face the CAB with our
charges under equal conditions—
where the CAB will not have the
advantage of being prosecutor,
judge, jury and legislator all in
one. . . ”
vorable,” however, so that the
number may now be near 700.
“There probably aren’t many
wolves in the park, but the park,
but the sheep population is still
small enough to be critical,” An
thony said.
“We cannot spare even a few
kills by wolves. Rigid control of
the wolves is the only answer.”
