business for two months, thou
sands of workers will be laid off.
Who is going to compensate them
* ^for loss of their jobs?
Washington has asked that for
► eign countries which are to get
American grain cease using grain
for liquor making. But the British
have a reasonable argument for
continuing their distillery busi
ness. Whisky is one of their im
portant exports for which they can
get American dollars to buy things
they do need.
Senator Saltonstall of Massachu
setts has raised a pertinent ques
i tion. Instead of appealing to the
people to observe an “eggless” day
each why doesn’t the government
release the 580 million eggs ft
bought up recently? Suppose they
are' powdered or frozen, they
should be of some value. One of
♦ the main reasons for the “meat
less,” “poultryless” and “eggless”
day campaigns' is to try to hold
down prices when relief food ship
ments to Europe are increased. For
the government, at the same time,
• to buy and hoard some food sup
plies to keep prices up doesn’t
make sense.

Wants To Keep
Old “Cable Cars”
SAN FRANCISCO. (/Pi — San
Francisco voters yesterday decid
ed on a new mayor and wheihe
to keep the hilly city’s quaint
cable cars—known to visitors from
the world over for more than 70
years.
Superior judge Elmer E. Robin
son was elected mayor to succeed
retiring Mayor Roger D. Lapham.
He defeated two other candidates:
Rep. Franck Havenner, Democrat
elected to Congress for times: and
city supervisor Chester MacPhee.
The cable car charter amend
ment proposed that the public util
ment proposes that the public util
ities commission maintain and op
erate the system “as a link with
San Francisco’s historic past. . . ’
The only organized opposition to
the cars—which have developed a
strap-hanging art peculiar to San
Francisco—has been voiced by the
local real estate board, which com
plains they’re outdated. City au
thorities originally prepared junk
ing the clanging little cars as inef
ficient and outmoded. A “citizens”
i committee to save the cable cars—
organized a vigorous campaign
and put the proposed amendment
on the ballot.
I San Francisco voters approved
i $87,050,000 in city improvement
bonds and overwhelmingly au
j thorized the continued operation
of the hill-climbing cable cars.
Funds from the bond issues—
largest ever voted here—will fi
j nance efforts to modernize the
i city's mass transportation system,
provide downtown parking space,
repair streets and increase the wa
ter system.
The voters decided to keep the
city’s antiquated cable cars run
ning by better than a 2-1 margin.
City administrators had proposed
junking the 74-year old system in
favor of modern busses.
