Panama Canal of East
Planned by Jap Engineers

Japan's desire to shorten some of
her communication lines is revealed
in the report that once again her
engineers are planning a canal
across the narrow neck of the Malay
peninsula, project once hailed as
1.-THE Panama Canal of the East"
The proposed canal would ditch
through Thailand's Isthrnus Of Kra,
a 30-nile land barrier between the
Bay of Bengal and the Gulf of
Siam. The western outlet would be
just below the southernmost tip of
Burma. The canal would cut the
distance to Japan's Burma outposts
by $500 miles. says a bulletin from
the National Geographic society.
A broad arm of the China sea,
biting deeply into the Indo-China
peninsula of southeast Asia, the Gulf
of Siam gives access to several
lands recently brought under Japa-
nese control-the Malay States, on
the south: French Indo- China, on
the northeast; Thailand. on the
northwest, and western shores Of the
gulf.

SPORT SHORTS

q The University of Pittsburgh drew
10000 to six football games in 1898
but only 63, 900 to five games in 1912.
q Baseball was named the ''most
wanted sport by Camp Roberts,
Calf, soldiers in an election to de-
termine which athletic activities
were to be expanded.
q Seventeen of the 20 players on
the University of Michigan varsity
basketball roster are feet or taller.
q The novelty of night baseball
seems to be wearing off. A total of
II games last summer drew only
slightly more than 35 in 1941.
q Burgess Whitehead, former Sec
ond baseman for the New York
Giants, has been indicted at Fort
Bragg, N. c., as a private.
q Tommy Bridges, Tiger pitcher,
who ordinarily spends his winters
hunting and fishing in Tennessee, is
working in a Detroit war plant.

Ross was the only nominee for the

Ross gave the finishing punch to
at least seven of the enemy in that
single evening. Because his three
pals were wounded, he had refused
to be evacuated when his marine
unit was ordered to the rear after
being isolated in dangerous under
brush. The Associated Press report
ed that he refused to be evacuated
"although it was almost certain
death to remain exposed to hidden
