This was emphasized before Provo Rotariani Friday by HOW- traffic manager of the U. S. Steel corporation. Mr. baschbaugh substituted sub-stituted for Charles L. Waggoner, Tokyo Raiders Hold Reunion MIAMI BEACH, Fla., April 19 i;.n Some 30 survivors of the first Tokyo bombing five years ago hashed over old times today with former bomb leader Jimmy Doolittle. The flyers crowded into a hotel room, its ceiling and walls covered cov-ered by a parachute that went on the Tokyo raid from the "Shangri-La" carrier Hornet. Ted Lawson, whose leg was amputated in China and who wrote "30 Seconds Over Tokyo," wired from Los Angeles that he was unable to travel. Col. John H. Hendren of Jefferson Jef-ferson City, Mo., planned a report re-port on the war crimes trials involving in-volving Japanese who punished downed American flyers from the April 18, 1942 raid. . "I'll tell them about Gen. Shi-momora, Shi-momora, who signed the execution execu-tion orders for Hallmark, Farrow and Spatz," Hendren said. (Lt Dean Hallmark, Dallas, Tex., Lt. William C. Farrow, Washington, and Sgt. Harold A. Spatz, Lebo, Kan.) "He was being used by us a repatriation officer bringing Japs back to Japan.

The new rates, although now In effect, still have not been permanently approved by the Interstate Commerce commission and still must be defended at later hearings to be called by the ICC. Mr. Daschbangh thanked the Provo Pro-vo chamber of commerce and other local organisations for their support In the recent ICC hearings, and asked that It be repeated -when later hearings are held, dates of which will be announced later. Some of these hearings will probably be held In Salt Lake City and ether western points. The flood of protests against the new rates occurred. Mr. Daschbaugh said, because the U. S. Steel corporation was entering the marketing territory of the opposing steel companies. He concluded his address with a reference to the importance of the rate question, stating that if Geneva steel cannot be marketed market-ed because of adverse rates, the plant itself cannot continue to operate. The magnitude of Geneva's operations op-erations was outlined by John F. Maloney, traffic manager at the Geneva plant, who told Rotarians that 8000 carloads of material per month go in and out of Geneva. The plant at the present time is consuming 3500 tons of coal and 5500 tons of iron ore per day, in addition to large quantities of lime and dolomite. The loading dock at the plant, Mr. Maloney said is 2000 feet long and 140 feet wide, served by four overhead over-head bridge cranes. Average time for each railroad car spent at the' plant is 1.4 days, exceptionally fast time for the reccival and return re-turn of a car. Visitors were Samuel E.
