Engineers To Help China Build Factories , gjiiiiiiiiiiitriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniinitinmttiif m Chinese .Workers Supply Army I Spcauaf Pocket Industries Nullify Bombings By Japanese. , A (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Plans to increase American technical aid to war torn China by sending a voluntary crew of American engineers to the Orient have been disclosed by John Garfield, Hollywood actor and leader of a group of relief workers on the west coast. His organization is collaborating with the movie colony group, headed by Dave Selznick, member of the National United China Relief committee. NEW YORK. If we are the arsenal of democracy, stated Garfield, then China should have our support in full. The actor went on to describe present-day conditions and summarized their plans to defeat the purpose of Japanee air raids by spreading and isolating manufacturing Units into mountainous and sparsely settled territories. The engineers, who are scheduled for early departure, plan to introduce and in6rease more modem technique in industrial production, allied with small units of space and equipment. A major objective will be the operation of motor repair stations along the important Burma road, over which most of the supplies for war reaches China. The United China Relief campaign is now engaged in the task of raising "China will be victorious." $5,000,000 for war relief and to maintain the 3,000 midget industries already established and to provide for thousands more. Many Factories Moved. An engineering feat of moving more than 400 complete ' factories containing 3,000 tons of machinery, wholly with human labor, was consummated in early spring, when thousands of coolies fled the war devastated coastal region, carrying the factories and equipment, piecemeal upon their backs, into the intheir country. It terior sections was pointed ut that the program served the double purpose of producing needed defense and civilian material and absorbing refugees in rebuilding for the new China. Mr. Garfield stressed the fact that because of the widely separated points of manufacture and distribution that enemy fliers found it extremely difficult to locate the small centers and impractical to bomb them because of the relative amount of damage as compared to the cost of the bombs, the differential being more than 25 times, even when the objective was a direct hit on the first attempt., A $250 bomb is too much, even for the Japanese, to inflict $10 worth of damage to the enemy, said Mr. Garfield. Money contributed to the fund, is allotted by H. H. Kung, minister of finance in Chungking at the rate of $7.00 per man for any group of workers willing to start a plant. The money is expended on a loan basis and ih accordance with regulations of the old established central revolving fund plan. Mr. Garfield stated that previous loans have all been repaid. Principle and machines never before seen or understood by the Chinese have become a vital factor in the war of supplies. We are teaching them to harness old water wheels to operate small dynamos, the technique of building tiny crucible steel and hearth furnaces, and many other methods of manufacturing and operating small, but efficient plants, said Mr. Garfield. He voiced the opinion that with American financial and technical help, China can finally emerge victorious to take her place with other democracies. tstsewd by Wedsra Nssrapaptr Unto 5 ihminmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiitiiirc who THOSEtocash customers awake enough long stay to see Billy Soose plod his way to chama middleweight pionship victory over Ken Overlin d cause for recently had a complaint.

TRY KINDNESS fore-mention- ed Brazil Buiids Defense Railways To Link Ports With Inland Cities well-defend- Wagon Post Office Yields to Progress JOHN GARFIELD Many Possibilities Darling, how can I leave you? By train, plane, or taxi. By ROBERT McSHANE S Small mm FARGO, N. D. The smallest and perhaps most unique post office in the United States, located 40 miles north of Bowman in the southwest comer of North Dakota, gives way to progress. If there are smaller buildings being used exclusively for the distribution of mail, they at least would not appear as diminutive in their setting as does a sheep wagon at Ranger where six families are served by Uncle Sam. The sheep wagon, with its wheels removed, nestles in the valley of the Little Missouri river in the most picturesque section of the badlands of North Dakota. The sheepwagon has been sold and the post office at Ranger will be discontinued this summer. Established in 1912, the Ranger post office has been a curiosity for many years. Natives tell the story that before the sheep wagon was removed from its wagon wheels, a post office inspector $at in the stuffy little shack when much to his amazement the tion. To meet this emergency, Presi- dent Vargas last year nationalized railroads in Brazil, bringing 15 under Union control. He just recently created the national department of railways, which will launch an extensive program with U. S. financial aid. More than 3,000 kilometers of tracks have already been laid, modem bridges span mountains and rivers, and many tunnels open Ways through mountains. A nation-wid- e highway building program now under way, is planned to link Brazil with all nations touching her borders. Many of these new developments will link Brazil by land, air and water with her neighbor nations, greatdely strengthening a fense. The railway d now being built will bring in Bolivian oil supplies, while giving to Bolivia an outlet to Atlantic seaports. Crossing the heart of South America, a transcontinental railway from Santos, Brazil, to Arica, Chile, will open vast productive areas for exploitation. Principal problem in connecting South American railways is presented by the rocky coastal ranges which follow each seacoast, cutting off port cities from rich interior resources. This brought about building of isolated short railways to port cities only; and now today, Latin countries face the huge expense of buildlines to ing many connect port cities, as well as to connect isolated inland cities to each other. Purchase New Equipment. Impressive purchases of new railway equipment from the U. S. include 26 locomotives and nearly 500 cars now being delivered. Highways and good roads are part of Brazils defense program. The $3,000,000 highway bringing Brazil in touch with Paraguay, and the network of roads from 7 to 10,000 miles long in Rio Grande of the. South, will link Brazil to Argentina, and Uruguay. Auto excursions now may only travel in good weather, but increasing auto tourist travel and the auto races from B. A. to Peru and back again, last year, has encouraged building of better roads. U. S. defense units are rushing completion of roads in Panama around the Canal region, and Latin nations along the West coast are building roads too although jungles, swamps and mountains bar the way. Some day the great highway will complete its 16, Liferoute, a new line. It will cost $150,000,000 to build, but it will open a vital route for military supplies, and one that will attract thousands of tourists in time of peace. -- Do you believe in clubs for women?

Thus, as the Bowman County Pioneer says, With the discontinuance of the Ranger post office, another chapter of the pioneering spirit of the West is brought to a close.

This variance in opinion might indicate that the fight was a thrilling encounter between two brawlers who gave everything they had in a brave, strong effort to whale their opponent. Sadly enough, that picture couldnt be more untrue. A barroom brawl would have been more exciting and twice as dangerous.

Chainpionship Dynasty COmtdaint No. 2, the more serious charge, demands a bit of reeent historical evidence. Tony Zale owns the middleweight championship by right of conquest. He whipped Seattle A1 Hostak, the former,. legitimate champion. Al, in his turn, had won the title from Freddy Steele. Steele won the crown through victory over' the champion who preceded him. This whole chain, built entirely of championship links, can be stretched back ad infinitum. Zales title is as clear cut as Sooses is phoney. Yet, Soose was described as the winnah- - and the new champeen in an inspired announcement at the end of the fight. Why? Because Mike Jacobs and the favorably inclined New York boxifig commission, controllers of boxing in the East, decided by edict that Soose is the champion. Neither Zale nor Hostak are controlled by the Jacobs. men. They are not company Therefore Soose would never get permission to fight them. It was necessary, therefore, that the title' be at stake in this fight. Then the outlaw fighters would be eliminated Without benefit of fists. ,i Jacobs has declared that Soose is champion, so thats that. ZaleS claim is very conveniently ignored in favor of one of his own boys. And Uncle Mike, with a stranglehold on the fight game, is powerful enough to wear down the opposition and make his claim stick. BOISE. IDAHO ' v Largest and finest hotel in Idaho.
