BARNEYILLE. Normandy.

BARNEVILLE, Normandy. -
(By Wirleess)-From this pictur-
esque town youn can look down
upon the western sea.
In the center of Barneville is a
sloping, paved court, a sort OF
public square except that it is rec
tangular instead of square.
At one end of the square an ar
my truck was parked.
Scattered around the square
were hall a dozen American sol
diers standing in doorways with
their rifles at the ready. There are
few French people on the streets
We went to the far end of the
square, where three local French
policemen were standing in front
of the mayors office. They could
not speak any English, but they
said there was one woman in town
who did, and little boy was sent
running for her. Gradually a
crowd of eager and curious people
crushed in upon us, until there
must have been 200 Of them, from
babies to old women.
Finally the woman arrived - a
little dark woman with grazing
hair, and spectacles, and big
smile. Her English was quite good.
And we asked her if there were
any Germans in the town. She
turned and asked the policemen.
Instantly everybody in the crowd
started talking at once. The sound
was like that of a machine that
increases in speed until its noise
browns out all else.
Finally the policemen had to
shush the crowd so the woman
could answer us.
She said there were Germans al
around, in the woods, but none
whatever left in the town. Just then
a German stuck his head out of a
nearby second story window
Somebody saw him, and an Am
erican soldier was dispatched tc
get him.
Barneville is a fortunate place,
Because not a shell was fired into
it by either side. The lieutenant
with us told the women we we're
,,lad nobody had been hurt. Wher
she translated this for the crowd
there was much nodding in ap-
prevail of our good wishes.
We must have stood and talked
for an hour and a half. 1t was a
kind of holiday for the local peo
pie. They are relieved but still
not quite sure the Germans woulc
not be back. They were still under
restraint that wouldn't let them
open up riotously. But you could
sense from little things that they
were glad to have us.
A little French shopkeeper came
along with a spool of red, white
and blue ribbon from his store. He
cut off pieces about six inches
. long for all hands, both American
and French. In few minutes ev-
. erybody was going around with
, french tricolor in his buttonhole.
Then a ruddy-faced man Of mid
die age, who looked like a gen.
! tleman farmer drove up in one o
those one-horse, high-wheeled work
[ carts that the French use.
He had a German prisoner il
uniform standing behind him
t And another one, who was sick, ly
, ing on stretcher. The farmer lat
captured these guys himself. Anc
: ne looked SO pleased with himself
that expected him to take a. bow
at any moment.
French people kept coming ur

most of us thought of aluminium as primarily
a nd-pans metal more than twice as
much of it was used for transportation equip
ment as for kitchen utensils. Now, with its
new-found strength it is expected that even
coal cars will be made of aluminium - and the
capacity of three-hopper car thus increased
from SO tons to 81 TONS Apply the same
proportion to other cargo, including pas
sengers, and you can see why aluminium
enthusiasts think the streamlined trains of
today will look old-fashioned beside the
cleaning speed demons of tomorrow.
Colored Aluxninum
AS FOR housing, some enthusiasts believe
that we will have houses made almost en-
tirely of aluminium, with the possible excep-
ton of the floors. Most sober prophets are
more conservative, but foresee greatly in
creased use of aluminium, not only because it
will be strong and easy to handle - particu-
larly for pre-fabricated houses - but also
because it is very efficient insulating mate
rial Even aluminium paint on the roof has
been found to defect 65 per cent of the heat
of the sun, making difference of from 10 to
20 degrees inside. 1t also keeps heat in:
Admiral Byrd testified to that after using an
aluminium hut in the Antarctic
If all this creates picture of the house
of tomorrow a sont of glOrified tin can,
put it out of your mind. For one thing,
processes have been worked out to produce
colored aluminium, in virtually any shade
desired - the color going all through, not
merely on the surface where it could wear off.
Tentative plans are already under discussion
for ass-production sectional houses, COM
pletely fitted with furniture and fixtures, to be
sold on 2O-year time payment plan - and
aluminium would figure prominently in them,
both as to parts of the house and the built-ln
fixtures and furnishings.
When you come to miscellaneous articles
which might be made of aluminium, just think
of almost anything metallic that would be
better for being lighter in weight, and write
your own forecast The first article ever made
out of aluminium was baby rattle, presented
to the infant Prince Imperial of France back
in 1856; but now that anything is possible.

out - whether it will be too brittle, or too
granular, or too difficult to handle, or some
thing else. And Fritzlen, busy keeping stand
ard products flowing to the plane factories,
had no time for leisurely research. But ideas
and formulas kept churning around in
his brain. From time to time, he would
have q new batch of metals mixed up and
study its characteristics.
It took hundred or so patches, each modi-
fed from the last, to get what he was after.
But he finally got it. new sheet aluminium
that tested out to higher strengths showed no
faulty tendencies, and resisted corrosion.
1t was actually an alloy coated by another
alloy. both heat-treated.
Military officials cut the red tape right
and left, and rushed tests of the new alloy
through in record time 1t proved so tough
that it would actually stop armor- piercing
bullets more effectively than steel. Designers
got busy on new planes with gleam in their
eyes. The rest of the military part of the story
is for our enemies to find out.
Then the postwar part of the story will
open up: aluminium railroad trains, alumni
mum trucks trailers and buses, aluminium
boats. aluminium furniture. Houses will use
much aluminium in their construction -
built-in cabinets, for instance, beams, win
dow sashes, shingles. Again, do not say that
R-3Ol will fit all these uses, but it is blazing
the trail, and along with it other new alloys
are being and will be developed both by
Reynolds and by the older, bigger Aluminium
Company of America. Already, for instance,
there is an R-303, stronger even than R-3O1
but of different type and less resistant to
corrosion. While R-3O1 is sheet metal, this
is used for casting and extrusion. (Extruslon
means forcing through mold. as you squeeze
tooth paste out of the tube.) This is the type
that would be used in making engine parts
and many other things, including some kinds
of furniture.
Tax-Reaching Changes
IMAGINE the difference it would make"
one leading executive suggested to me, If
most of the furniture in our business offices
were made of aluminium - their weight re-
duced by more than half. That would make it
possible to build a different kind of office
building - one of lighter construction, be-
cause it would not have to support 50 much
weight" That is just sample of how far
reaching the light-metal trend might be.
Even more important may be the effect on
transportation. Even before the war. when

Latin American Fear
Over Use Of Bases
Absurd, Hull Says
Nv JOSEPH n. BAIRD.

Secretary of State Hull declared
today that any fear or apprehension
that might be felt in Latin Ameri-
can countries over the postwar
policy of the United States toward
the retention of air and naval bases
was utterly absurd.
He pointed out that American use
of these bases was permitted under
a reciprocal arrangement whereby
Latin American ships also might
use United States bases. He said
that If the bases are employed by
this country after the war it will
only be as a result of mutually sat-
isfactory arrangements.
The Secretary's statement was
elected by a question as to his at
titude on the subject after DR.
Hernane Tavares de Sa, Brazilian
aide in the Office of Co-ordinator of
Inter American Affairs, had said
Latin Americans were fearful OF
future United States policy on re-
tention of the bases.
Recalls Early Collaboration.
If any implication, Mr.. Hull said,
of United States plans, purposes or
theories as to our postwar use OF
the Latin American bases had Great
ed apprehension. it was utterly
absurd.
He recalled that in the middle
1930s this country began to collab-
crate with Latin America on plans
for mutual defense of the Western
Hemisphere.
The United States at that early
period declared that it would throw
open its own harbors to Latin
American ships for repairs. In 1910
when the United States acquired a
string of eight naval bases extending
from Newfoundland to the West
Indies, it Immediately declared that
their use would be extended to
other American nations on re-
ciprocal basis.
No apprehension, Mr.. Hull said
pointedly, was felt at that time.
Reciprocal Defense Plans.
At the Havana conference of
American foreign ministers in 1910,
he continued, reciprocal plans for
defense of the Western Hemisphere
were unified and co-ordinated.
These plans included use of the
United States Navy for defense of
the Latin American coaStline
against any possible enemy.
These arrangements, Mr.. Hull
continued, were made in the freest
Evening star., 1944-06-12

possible way among the signatories
of the Havana declaration.
AS to the extent to which there
may be a partial continuance of
these defense arrangements after
the war, the Secretary said, that
remains to be seen.
He added, however, that If the
arrangements were continued IT.
would be only on the basis of
mutually satisfactory agreement.
He assured the press that he
would be glad to keep the public
fully advised as to any further de-
velopments bearing on this subject.

8 MILES OF TREES AN HOUR

A tractor driver and man to ham
die the planting stock can set out
from 500 to 1000 trees an hour with
the aid of tractor-drawn device ia
shioned mainly from parts salvaged
from a scrap pile at the Bessey Muir
sery in Nebraska, the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture reports. The
planter is used in establishing shell
terbelts and windbreaks and works
we'll on ground formerly cultivated or
where there is only light sod.
The essential parts of the planter
are two ploughs that run tandem,
N ounted on the two-wheel frame of a
discarded corn lister. A sturdy "
Is shaped lister pillow clears the surface
and turns back two shallow burrows.
Tkis is followed by wedge-shaped
pillow that forces open a narrow
trench 10 to IA inches deep into
which a man feeds the young trees.
The feeder places the trees so that
the loosened earth falling back into
the trench holds them for a moment
He rides ON a seat over a pair of
press wheels that follow along and
firm the soil around the roots in the
trench.
With the suitable planting stock
from one of the tree nurseries that
furnish young trees under the Clarks-
McNary Act, the man riding the rear
seat can place tree every 6 to 8
feet when the tractor is pulling the
machine at IA to miles an hour.
AS assembled, this machine costs
about $50, mainly for blacksmithing.
1t weighs only about 500 pounds and
can be loaded into a light truck for
transfer from farm to farm. Not
many farmers would need such equip
ment for a single farm, but the For
est Service suggests it is desirable
equipment for cooperative groups,
soil conservation districts, or county
organizations in areas where shelter
belt planting is customary. Plans for
the planter many be obtained by writ
ing to the Regional Forester, U. s.
