Out here where cattle kings are

, Dress for Easterners
Alas, I learned too late he was
one of the richest men in Arizona.
The dolled-up feller on whose arm
I was clinging worked for the
chamber of commerce.
Many of the men who wear 10
gallon hats, boots and skin-tight
blue jeans admit that the only time
they dress that way Is when east
erners come west to look them
over. The rest of the time they
look just like anybody else.
When 70 mid-western and east
ern newspaper writers arrived in
Phoenix on American Airlines' in
augural $110 cross-coutry air
coach flight; they were greeted by
as tough-looking a bunch of horn

wood "western" set.

It was revealed at a barbecue in
a barn (the barn having been re

doings were strictly chamber of

The instructions that went out
to the entertainment committee
had said: "Dress western".
But it didn't matter. AU'the east
erners wound up in 10-gallon hats,
too, and even reporters began look

Many U. S. Bridge
Found Unsafe for Trucks
WASHINGTON (UP) Only 1,-
607 of the 12,048 bridges on the na
tion's five miir highways are de
signed or rated to sustain the
weight of a 20-ton truck, according
to a new Congressional report on
"highway needs of the national de
fense." i j
However, there isn't a stale In
the nation which has a, truck
weight limitation of 20 tors or less.
Thirty-three states allow trucks
weighing 30 tons or more and one
state allows trucks weighing 68
tons. .....
Recently at Little Falls, N. J., a
wooden bridge oostcd with a
weight limit of eigiit tons collapsed
after a trailer-truck weighing 44
tons passed over it. The state's
legal limit is 30 tons. '
An increasing number of bridge
failures is reported by most states
and in Ohio 70 bridges have failed
completely in the past two years.
