The piece notes disparaging remarks about the Pennsylvania Turnpike by Minnesota and Twin Cities voices. It argues against four lane roads without adjusting accident rates by traffic volume. Wisconsin has shown mixed interest, with initial rejection and later revival discussions with the highway commission.
The piece notes added fees and tolls along a turnpike, with new industries and markets forming as the road carries a heavy traffic load. Towns bypassed by the route prosper, while half the toll revenue comes from out of state vehicles, and most Pennsylvanians avoid the road. The author questions the future support from the Midwest and Public Roads administration for such turnpikes.
Retail buyers return in volume with price cuts boosting store traffic after a long lull. Carpet makers plan cuts, New York department stores report weekly sales up 25 percent then 18 percent. Good weather and bumper crops raise hopes for summer price relief. South cotton hopes exceed 16 million bales, about 65 percent above last year.
Peter Edson reports that the U S Institute of Inter American Affairs increases its Latin American aid from 24 to 34 programs in 18 countries and shifts costs toward host nations. Iverson argues higher living standards could boost U S trade as illiteracy and low income dampen regional markets. The program blends food health and education to raise productivity and cut malaria driven costs.
Major Fielding Eliot argues rotation policy in Korea boosts morale but risks sacrificing battle-tested leaders. He recalls World War I lessons where delaying relief saved critical NCOs. In Korea, commanders face the trade off between giving fresh recruits training and keeping seasoned sergeants who bear the risk of being rotated away before crucial actions.
The plan to rotate entire divisions to rest areas like Japan to refresh troops is hindered by insufficient divisions and strained transport through Pusan. A modified system with four RCTs per division could ease fatigue but still relies on heavy back and forth movements. By summer, Marshall sees 50,000 fresh replacements monthly, requiring equal flow back to the front.
A reflective piece links the Godiva legend to tax reform and public skepticism. It traces how the tale, its dates, and the Peeping Tom episode evolved through centuries, noting Coventry’s convent origins and enduring myth despite questions about an actual ride.
Report From Around Town notes North Iowa Times 95th year reaching New Yorker level of humor. Items include a New Yorker styled Social Notes from McGregor and a Korea update about CPL Theodore Stendahl Jr who survived a helmet graze. Also mentions Roy and Elizabeth Bernett’s flood of rent calls and a foiled icebox find by Jack Slyfield, plus Skippy the cat’s litter of ten kittens.
The article recounts a daring covert operation led by Brig. Gen. Crawford Sams to extract Chinese plague data from North Korea, noting the risk to operatives and the brutal retaliation against Korean agents.
