McGlXMS, president of the Boston and Maine Railroad, found himself cast in the villain's role during the hearings held in Burlington last week by the Vermont Public Service Commission. Only time will tell whether the characterization waa justified. But it is a role that McGinnis has starred in many times in the past and one that he seems to enjoy. The dapper railroad executive's performance was not limited to any one role during his testimony here, however. they resented the line of questioning fired by the two Vermont Jawyers and the general intensity of the "examination" that was more of tan a debate.

BUT WHETHER OAKES and Debevoise went a little too far afield once or twice, the basic fact remained that they were representing the citizens of Vermont at a fact-finding session. They had the announced support of PSC Chairman Charles R. Ross and were hammering away at the man who controls the railroad mat is Vermont's main rail link with Boston and New York. ages estimated at the same amount in a collision in Bradford vil 1 feller for president must have smiled when they noticed that President Eisenhower did not invite Vice President Nixon to the Nov. 30 White House briefing on the President's trip to Europe, Asia and Africa.

BUT THOSE VERMONTERS who met with Rockefeller in Woodstock more than a month ago were not surprised by Nixon's absence. 1 One of the Burlington GOP leaders who met with Rockefeller at Woodstock reported that Rockefeller had the assurance of President Eisenhower that Nixon would not be sent on any more good will tours before the Republican National club has been organized for high school girl with Mrs. Albert Val- lage Saturday morning.

Grange Honors Farmers A 1957 sedan operated by Rob The New York governor reportedly told the Vermonters that Eisenhower was unhappy because Nixon leaked the news that Russian Premier Khrushchev would be invited to the U.S. before the President wanted the invitation to be made public. Nixon leaked this news while he was on his own news-making visit to Russia and Rockefeller apparently felt that Nixon was getting an assist in the race for the GOP presidential nomination from his official as Katrina Edwards portrays the stage manager in Mr Mrs Friu Farmer ert W.

THE GIFTED McGINNIS, with varying degrees of success, played the roles of financial wizard, railroad genius, misunderstood benefactor, slapstick comedian and big city slicker come to visit with the country bumpkins in Vermont. The general consensus among other railroad and transportation officials, members of PSC and its staff and the newsmen wtio covered his performance, was that McGinn is succeeded to some extent in each role. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT McGinn is believes that days of railroad passenger service are gone and that be feels thai passengor service must be dropped if railroads are to slay alive and maintain vital freight service.

It was his unyielding stand en this question that triggered the antagonism that built up rapidly between McGinnis and James L. Oakes, special counsel for the PSC, and Thomas M. Debevoise, deputy attorney general, who joined tfith Oakes in the examination. McGinnis and his lawyer, the general counsel for tfie Boston and Maine, made it clear that prize winning play.

However, the Vermont PSC and interested Vermontera know a lot more about the railroad problem today than they did a week ago. And the PSC learned more than a few things about how it can deal intelligently with the honest needs of the railroad industry while performing its basic function to protect the public good. WHILE FEW SPECIFIC remedies appear to have emerged from the hearings, a wealth of general background knowledge is now in the possession of Vermonters. These resulU will help Vermont and can be credited to the new aggressive look of the PSC and the equally aggressive work of its counsel. VERMONTERS WHO ARE backing New York Gov.

You show no signs of going off on the sort of buying spree that would send our economy soaring. You well may be a key supporter of an expanding economy much longer than most experts would hae predicted until the stretch-out in, the steel strike, though. With an increasing income, you should have an increasing inclination and ability to buy right into IT SEEMS STRANGE TO me to be writing about "you" in so direct and personal a manner and it probably seems stranger to you to be reading it. You are an individual, a member of a family; the buying daemons you make this coming Thanksgiving weekend in the privacy of your home will be known only to you and those close to you. Yet.

you are one of America's tens of millions of individual consumers and more than $6 of every $10 spent in our country is spent by individual consumers an indication of how crucial your actions as a consumer are to creating booms and busts.

Are any pensions From the War 1812 still being paid? A. No. The last surviving pensioned veteran of the War of 1812 was Hiram Crook of Ava, who died in 1905 at the age of 105 years. The last surviving pensioned widow was Caroline King of Cheek to wag who died in 1938, aged about 89. Last beneficiary to receive a pension based on service rendered in the War of 1812 was Mrs.

Esther Ann Hill Morgan, daughter of Private John Hill of the New York Militia, who was granted a special $20 monthly pension by Congress in 1927. She died in 194b, moce than 130 years after the end of the War of 1812. CONGRESS; Q. Would It be possible for the President to have Congress meet outside Washington In the event of nn attack npoa the capital city? A. Yea.

Early in that recovery we became optimistic about the general outlook and our own incomes. We were fascinated by the new cars and stimulated by a rapid loosening of installment buying terms. We took off and most significantly, we didn't just hike our spending as our incomes rose. We hiked our spending in anticipation of the rising incomes. When our incomes actually increased we could not.

as Dr. Mueller empnasizes, step up our buying once more. As 1935 was ending our spending was leveling off. even declining and this, combined with other events we set in motion, led to the recession of 1957. IX CONTRAST, WHAT HAS been your pattern in 1959? This time you didn't regain optimism about the general outlook and your own setup until this past summer until the recovery from 9'iS' recession low had been underway a full year.

This time your spending has been much more cautious in relation to your ability to pay. You haven't been increasing your buying in anticipation of a higher income. You've been impressively conservative. This time your attitude toward prices hasn't been spurring you to buy.

SWIMMING: Q. Is it easier to twlm In warm water than in cold water? A. Yes. The difference of even a single degree affects speed in swimming. As the water temperature goes up, it becomes easier to swim faster because the water resistance is lowered.
