however, until after talking to
Matchmaker Gabe MenendeZ.
AL WE'LL, Archibald's manager,
called the Boxing Commission secre-
tary, Dick O'Brien, at o'clock this
morning to say that his fighter was
the victim of quick count. He
reported rioting among the fans
when the referee counted 10 in
nothing fat"
The odd angle to all this is that
the District Boxing Commission re-
fused to sanction any matches dur
in the next two weeks to assure
the Archibald-Jeffra affair of good
publicity. The match was to have
been advertised as for the non-Na-
tional Boxing Associa ton title.

They fatten up their opponents

The further they come from be-
hind the better the crowd likes it.
MY players are their own

pends on them to feel out the
weaknesses of the opposition and
see for themselves what style to
use down the home stretch.
On the whole the system has
paid dividends, but when it COL
lapses it blows all to pieces.

Burma Road Traffic Makes Boom Towns
loshio, One Terminus Of Highway, Trebes in Size
Many Modest Fortunes Reported Made
(SeCond OF q Series on the
Burma Road.
BY A r STEELE


Special Correspondence of The Star and
the Chicago Daily News.
RUNNING, Southwest China (via
Clipper The flood of trucks, men
and materials coursing over the
Burma road to China has made
boom towns of many sleepy villages
along its route. In none of them
has the Transformation been more
surprising or complete than in
Lashio, the hill town in northern
Burma, where the highway begins.
In the old days, Lashio, as viii
lage of 1000 inhabitants, was on
the map only as the administrative
center of the northern Shan States
and as the inland terminus of a
600-mile railway from the seaport
OF RangoOn. In two years, LaShio
has more than treblae in size and
had acquired all the sprawling,
slapdash characteristics of a mush-
room mining town.
Ships carrying American materials
for China usually discharge their
cargo at Rangoon where it is loaded
sooner or later-into trains for
LaShio. There the stuff is stored
sometimes for weeks or months be-
fore the overWorked trucks can get
around to loading it for the long
haul into China.
New Houses Spring Up.
Arriving in Lashio by train, after
a hot, tiresome. 36-hour journey
through rice fields and teak forests
from Rangoon, I found the place
so altered from my last vHit two
years ago that I felt a complete
stranger. The streets, lined with
new, jerry built houses of bamboo,
wood, or gray brick, meander
through the hills in all directions.
Many modest fortunes have been
made off the Burma road and
Lashio's boom. There is the priest,
for instance, who saw that what the
town needed was a durable building
material. He rented a lot on the
outskirts of town, hired a few coolies
and began manufacturing concrete
bricks. The towns best buildings
are made of them, and the priest
Is reputed today to be a wealthy
man.
Looking for a place to spend the
night, passed up such boom town
hoStelrieS as the wee Wee Hotel"
in favor of the modest inn operated
by the American-managed China
National Aviation Corp. Excusing
the high rates, one of the staff ex-
planned that many of our vegetables
come all the way from Hong Kong
by air" Hong Kong, incidentally, Is
nearly 1000 miles away, and every
bunch of celery brought to Lashio
in the regular passenger planes has
to cross the whole expanse of China.
Profitable Trucking Business.
Lashio, as starting point of the
Burma Road, grows fat largely off
the trucking business. Big dumps
OF oil and munitions line the roads
outside the town. There too are
maintained by companies operating
fleets of trucks over the highway.
Biggest of all is the Southwest
Transportation Co., official Chinese
concern, which carries nothing
but government cargo. Numerous
smaller firms operate convoys of
from two to 300 trucks. The Burma
Road has made a millionaire out of
a Greek named Vertannes, whose
trucks, some of them rattle traps,
are to be seen all along the road.
The trucks invariably travel in con-
voys, so that when one breaks down
or crashes the others may be of
help. Most Of the drivers are
Evening star., 1941-05-20

Chinese, though one big British
firm uses East Indians.
Even private trucking companies
are expected to devote a proportion
of their space to Chinese govern
ment cargo, for which they receive
a fixed official rate (Sll0 a ton to
Kunming). They fill the remainder
of their trucks with commercial
freight at whatever charge the
shippers will bear. AS there is
always more merchandise than
trucks, fantastic rates of as high as
$3.50 a ton are sometimes obtained
for the 716-mile haul. This is just
five times the charge for bringing
goods $4,000 miles by ship from New
York to Rangoon.
