Local Rail Service
May Be Halted at
Places on Bus Lines
Eostmon Orders Survey
Looking to Diversion
Of Engines and Cors
BY the Associated Press,

rs INK ASsUCiAISA fTeSH.
Transportation Director JOS
eph B. Eastman said today that,
despite some local dislocations
and inconvenience, local train
service probably would be dis
continued for the duration of the
war in places where duplicating
bus service is reasonably ade-
quate.
Disclosing that he had requested
State public service commissions to
survey local rail and bus passenger
service with the view of releasing
engines and cars for more impor-
tant service, Mr. Eastman declared
that unnecessary duplicate service
must clearly be avoided"
Commuters trains would not be
affected, he indicated.
There are many places in which
local accommodation train service Is
paralleled by bus service" the trans
portatlon head wrote the State COM
missions. This is true both as to
main lines and secondary lines.
I'm all such cases where the bus
service IS reasonably adequate il
would seem that under present con-
dltlons the local train service should
be discontinued and the equipment
placed in more important uses. This
SHOULD be done in spite of some de-
gree OF local dislocations and incon-
venlences, for the wartime needs of
the Nation must be paramount"
Mr.. Eastman requested specifically
that al applications for discontinue
ance OF services pending before the
state commissions be expedited and
that as many requests as possible be
granted.
1T may be and possibly is the case
that there are situations where dup
llcate train and bus services exist.
and where the bus service could be
discontinued with less inconvenience
to the public than the train service. :"
his letter said.
I'VE should like to be advised of
such situations also, because the
need for buses throughout the coun-
try Is as great as the need for rail-
way cars, and they must be con-
served, on account OF the rubber
shortage, for essential uses.
Unnecessary duplicate service
must clearly be avoided, and the
choice as to the service to be re-
tanned must depend on which can
serve the public better"

By Tie Associated Press.

By tie Associated Press.
LONDON, July 28.-Birming.
ham. big British industrial cen
ter in the Midlands, was bombed
last night in an attack which
cost the Germans eight out OF
so to 10 raiders, and incendiaries
fell in the Greater London dis
trict, which had it's first night
alarm since June 3.
A ninth German bomber was re-
ported shot down this morning of
the southwest coast.
Enemy action last night was on
a somewhat larger scale than for
some time past a communique
said. Fires and damage were
caused in the Birmingham area
where there also were a number OF
casualties
Scattered bombings caused some
damage elsewhere through the Mid
lands and eastern counties.
New Defenses Tested.
The appearance of bombers over
the London area provided a test for
the capitals new anti-aircraft de-
fenses.
Londoners used to the sound OF
the anti-aircraft barrages during
the heavy night attacks of 1940-4l
detected the distinctive sound of the
new weapons.
(The dispatch did not identify
the new defense weapon further.
but it seemed obvious that it was
a new type anti-aircraft gum
Many fires were started in Birm-
ingham, and casualties were re-
ported fairly numerous. The
greatest damage was sustained by
homes and shops and large hos
pltal was emptied when a DELAYED
action bomb fell nearby.
Post Office Demolished.
In an adjacent locality the post
Office was demolished and resi-
dental areas hit. Rescue squads
worked until past dawn bringing
out those trapped in the debris.
A number of fire bombs fell in
fields near London but no damage
was reported. A time bomb fell in
a park.
Other German craft were over
North England, coastal areas of
Southwest England and East An
glla. First reports said they also
We're over Northern Ireland but
later dispatches from there said the
night was raid-free.
The RATS bombers, which Sum-
day night punching the German
port OF Hamburg in a 6OO-plane as
sault, stayed home last night.
The Rome radio was heard here
last night broadcasting that the
RAF's raid on Hamburg was the
heaviest thus far against Germany
German authorities tomorrow
Will probably give the number of
casualties which is known to be
very high" the broadcast said.
Planes Heard Over Capital.
London's anti-aircraft batteries
were In action for a considerable
period and planes were heard fly-
ing oyer the capital.
Hundreds of Londoners watched
Ine brilliant display of anti aircraft
nre IN the moonlit sky. It was the
nrst time the sirens had sounded at
night here for nearly two months
though two alerts were sounded
after daybreak yesterday.

OF a minimum of 1000 250-cc. units
which 1t was felt would be adequate
for the security of civilians here.
The public was advised to con-
tinue making blood donations to the
armed forces since the potential

making blood donations for this
purpose.

supplies and salaries for full-time
technical personnel were donated by
the Washington Central Labor Union
several months ago, when it was de-
cided that blood plasma bank
should be established here.
The plasma is prepared and dis
tributed without cost to 10 strate-
gically located hospitals Of the Met
ropolitan Area, where it will be kept
in reserve and used only for air-raid
victims and other civilian casualties
OF military disasters.
Five hospitals, including Garfield,
Providence. Alexandria, Emergency
end Georgetown, will act as centers
for blood donations. which at the
close of each day will be transported
to the George Washington Univer-
sity medical school for processing.
Will Be Fully Prepared.
A corps of specially trained tech
nicians, including a bacteriologist,
serologist and medical technologist,
will prepare the plasma into units
of $50 &C. each, cultured for sterility,
typed as to blood groups, tested for
communicable diseases, protein con-
tent determined, numbered, labeled
with directions for use and frozen
to solid state in special low-tem-
perature freezing cabinets.
The active professional personnel
responsible for the establishment of
the plasma bank consists of the fol-
lowing. who are serving without
remuneration:

MR.. and MRS. HERBERT A. SHAW

Hardin boasts among it's resi-
dents a couple of octogenar-
ians who hold a most enviable
record Of patriotism - a record
that would bring shame to the
faces of some people possessing
many times their stock OF
worldly goods, who are not buy
ing defense bonds to aid in the
defense of their country.
This couple, MIR. and Mrs
Herbert A. Shaw, who live on
Crawford avenue in Hardin have
been residents of this commun-
ity for more than IS years. Re-
Gently Mr.. Shaw inherited a be-
quest from the estate of "a de-
ceased brother, receiving one
fifth of the proceeds after the
estate was settled, or about $3.50
Although this was practically all
the ready money this elderly
couple had, MIR. Shaw immedi-
ately went to one of the Har-
din banks and purchased $500
worth of war bonds, thereby
setting an example of patriot
ism impossible to excel.
Mr.. Shaw was born on a farm
near Tomah, Wis, Nov. %, 1858

HARVEST WILL
BEGIN SOON

Farmers in this area are get
ting their combines, tractors and
other equipment ready to har-
vest one of the best wheat
crops raised in Big Horn county
in recent years.
There is approximately $4,000
acres of wheat in the county, it
was stated.
The past two weeks of warm
weather have matured the
wheat very rapidly and some
experts estimate that the crop
this year will excel per acre
yield averages Of, former years,
and may be the highest on
record.
Harvesters will be handi-
capped by the labor shortage,
but all possible means are be-
ing used to recruit help for
the farmers,
Another hazard that burrows
the brow of the farmer with a
field of ripening wheat is fire.
The warm days of the past few
weeks have made ranges and
fields very dry. Fire guards have
been plowed, but everyone is
warned to be on the lookout
and report any fires immediate
ely.
