Transportation in Southern California has long been a monopoly of the Southern Pacific Co. and its associate, Pacific Greyhound Lines. Last week that monopoly was cracked wide open. In a 100-page decision on a case which had required 30 months of litigation, 17,205 pages of testimony transcript, California's Railroad Commission gave Santa Fe Transportation Co. authority to inaugurate passenger service between San Diego and San Francisco, with a basic fare rate of 1½?-per-mile and tickets interchangeable between streamlined trains and air-cooled busses. Wherever Santa Fe train and bus lines meet, the passenger...
...inconspicuous worthy who is pushed around at first, finally comes out on top, usually triumphing over some flashier rival in the process. They tell it expertly, with no waste motions, sometimes with humor, frequently with a good deal of technical information thrown in-about steel mills, prize fights, greyhound racing, navigation. Except for Thomas Wolfe's story of racial conflict, The Child by Tiger, and Walter Edmonds' tale of a white woman captured by Indians, Delia Borst, the stories that tackle weighty subjects bog deep in sentimentality, occasionally, as in Jacland Marmur's A Woman...
Having delighted Labor once, the Supreme Court went on to uphold the National Labor Relations Board unanimously in two cases. In both cases (involving Pennsylvania Greyhound Lines and Pacific Greyhound Lines) the issue was whether the Board could order an employer to withdraw recognition of a company union if there was no competing union in the field.

Hounds (Afghans, basset hounds, beagles, dachshunds, foxhounds, etc.). Ch. White Rose of Boveway. a sleek greyhound belonging to Harry Twyford Peters, chairman of the show, last year reached the finals. But so keen was the competition among hounds last week, that Judge Joseph Z. Batten passed her over, picked a stubby beagle as best, a stubby dachshund as next best. He waved the dogs to winners stalls; the crowd clapped; friends congratulated the beagle's owner. Then Judge Batten thought better, put first the dachshund, Ch. Fox von Teckelhof, owned by Hugh O'Neill of Joplin...
Sporting (pointers, setters, retrievers, spaniels). Westminster's versatile Chairman Harry Peters (who last month insisted in a Metropolitan Museum of Art lecture that sport has influenced art more than religion) had entered, beside his greyhound, a lemon & white pointer named Sensation, which his son had bought "for a bark" (actually $50) from a Rochester, N. Y. farmer. Though best of the pointers, Ch. Windholme Sensation lost in the sporting group to a mere pup, Sportsman Dwight Ellis' gay English setter, Daro of Maridor...
