English Beetle PeriIed
Revolutionary Building
by the Associated Press


PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 28.-The
English death-watch beetle recently
came close to wrecking the old
South Meeting House in Boston
famous in Revolutionary days, the
American Association for the Ad-
Vancement of Science was told
today.
The beetle is so named because
IL makes the ticking noise heard in
old churches during all-night wakes.
DR.. Donald M. Muirhead of Dux-
bury. Mass, said it came to this
country in Colonial days, probably in
furniture and timber.
1t was found three years ago in
the block wood floor of the meeting
house, Hypodernlic needle sprays in
each hole, followed by creosoting of
the exterior, probably has safe
guarded the timber for the future.
DR.. Muirhead said.

BARRANQUILLA, Colombia. Al
most any South American will tell
you that the United States, to hold
the friendship of the nations of this
continent, should provide financial
help to lift the standard of living.
Almost any United States finan-
cier will reply that such a thing is
impractical because there is no tell
ing whether the money would be
paid back and will tell you of de-
faulted loans Of the past.
The arguments take you around
In constant circle until you come
to Barranquilla and find an Indiana
engineer named Samuel L. Hollo-
peter and the story of a United
States loan which:
% Is building a modern South
American city fitted for industrial
and commercial development, and
CD Is being paid back.
Barranouillans are proud of this
loan, for it has given them wide
paved streets, pure water and a
growing sewer system. They credit
its success to the fact that Hollo-
peter is constantly on the job with
technical supervision and that he
has the cooperation of the city
government and people.
City Has Doubled in Size.
The city, Caribbean gateway for
the Magdalena River and conse-
ouently Colombia's chief port, has
doubled in size during Honopeter's
stay here. He originally came for
is not yet ready to go home.
The Barranquilla loan was made
by the Central Bank of Illinois in
1925. Hollopeter. a native of Fort
Wayne, was drafted from the Chi
cago Telephone Co. to see that the
money was spent for the purposes
specified. that it gave the city a
dollars worth for every dollar, and
that municipal funds pledged to
pay off the loan were actually set
aside.
To make his supervision effective
the loan agreement named Hollo-
peter as director general of "mu-
nicipal public enterprises" with
power to collect taxes on real estate,
vehicles and meat sales outside the
municipal markets. At the same
time it authorized him to direct
construction on city projects gen.
orally. To prevent his becoming a
dictator of local politics, his de-
cisions had to be approved by a rep

Air Corps Maintains
Arctic Patrol Over
Michigan Wastes
Men and Motors Tested
Against Elements at
Frieid Comp SkeeI
BY the Associated Press.

/ By the Associated Press.
CAMP SKEEL, Mich, Dec. 2s.-
Here among the snow and ice Of
Northwest Michigan, the United
States Army Air Corps is on arctic
patrol.
In a setting as rigorous as any
they might be called upon to face
in more critical times, men and
motors are being tested against the
elements.
! The men are pilots attached to
the 9Th pursuit wing at Selfridge
/ Field, $50 miles to the south near
the heart of the Detroit industrial
area they would be called upon to
defend in the event of war. They
are fighter pilots, flying the fast.
est planes the United States can
put in the air, and they have to
be prepared for anything.
A squadron at time, they un-
dergo part of that preparation by
fighting the weather as well as
mythical enemy air forces.
In this section of Michigan, tenn
peratures range about 20 degrees
lower than in Detroit, which itself
is no land of sunshine in the win
| tertime, and sub-zero temperatures
are commonplace.
Frost Covered Planes.
The pilot craWlS out of his warm
bunk in the morning to find his
plane covered with frost or snow.
To touch the metal which is all
about his with bare hands is to
cave frozen flesh clinging in patches.
The fleece lined flying suits ant
heavy boots furnish some protec-
ton in the unheated cockpits OF
the single-seater fighter planes, at
the same time their bulk adds to
the delicate job of maneuvering
the ships at speeds ranging up to
400 miles an hour.
Lack of adequate weather re-
porting from Northern stations
means that one pilot must zoom
into the dawn to obtain data in
the bitter cold of high attitudes
each day 1t is possible to fly.
Aerial gunnery and training in
winter tactics occupies most of the
score of pilots composing the squad
ron.
No Hangers at Field.
Ground crews. from the men who
operate snow plows to clear a land
Ing area to the mechanics who
must struggle with balky motors,
face herdships on a par with the
flyers. There are no hangers at
Camp Skeel, and most of the main
tenance and repair work on the
planes must be done in the open.
After a night on the field, start
ing the cold motors becomes a job
to tax the patience of any mechan-
ic. Oil dilution systms and mobile
warming units are brought into
play to warm the motors to the
point where the starters will turn
them over.
In the comparative isolation of the
small camp. kept free of civilian
life for miles around to insure
safety during gunnery practice.
some of the barriers separating
Army ranks disappear. Commis-
stoned off1cer-pilots often work side
by side with enlisted men at me-
nial jobs incidental to keeping the
camp in order. Friendships spring
up which are strengthened by close
contact and mutually hard living
conditions
On Arctic patrol, the men of the
Air Corps-"Uncle Sans pampered
darlings"-are getting a chance to
prove they are something more
than that.

That's the battle to date and the controversy still is smoldering. What will come Of the proposed legisla- ton nobody at this date could even guess. Unless some greater emer- gency arises, it won't come up un- til after the new Congress con- venes in January
 The Smith bill provides max imum life imprisonment penalty for sabotage and forbids the closed shop in defense industries. On the strike situation, it's key note is mediation with a pre- liminary "cooling-off period Of 30 days. The chief weapon of en- forcement in this phase of the bill would be public opinion, with in the event of no settlement through mediation or arbitration the Presidents issuing a state- ment, proclaiming the offending Jarty.
