IndOnesians Battle With
 Light Tanks
BATAVIA, Indonesia, Oct. 29

BATAVIA, Indonesia, Oct. 29 -R -Indonesian Nationalists, using armorea cars and light tanks have killed an estimated twenty-five members of the Brit ish-Indian force at Seerabaja be- fore President Soekarno of the "Indonesian Republic" reportedly arranged a truce at the big naval base.
 A British officer made a casual ty estimate, but didn't include pockets surrounded by natives. An officer said many women and children in internment camps in the area had been killed by na- tives fighting in Soerabaja.
 Military equipment which the natives have taken from the Japs included at least twenty armored vehicles, machine guns, and mor- tars, one officer said, adding that the hard-pressed British had used even their cooks and cobblers" in the fighting before the truce.
 A couple of companies of the Rajpunta Rifles fought desperate ly from the Darno hospital and the British Consulate. A company of British engineers from the Darno barracks at Darno station, where the bitterest fighting oc- cured, radioed running out of ammunition, unless you send help we will be overrun."

Catapult Seat For Railing Out Of Planes

Col. w. Randolph Lovelace, who recently returned from Ger many. where he accepted the sur render of precious results of pains taking and valuable scientific in- vestigations, told the press that he expects some of the German developments to be of great value to us. Col. Lovelace is Chief of Aero Medical Laboratory at Wright Field, Ohio.
 Perhaps the most important of those that can be made public is catapult seat for airplane pilots which will make it possible for the pilot to bale out of plane fly ing at speed of over 500 miles an hour and out of control. At the will of the pilot, this seat will au- tomatically toss him, seat and all, Is or 20 feet into the air above the plane and clear of it.
 It is the only safe way, Col. Lovelace said, to get out of a plane going at that speed, and there are circumstances in combat when it is not possible for the pi- lot to reduce the speed of his plane before jumping. The seat will work at an altitude of 3O,OOO feet, and it is good at low alit- tudes, too.

Capt Blackburn, Labor, ob- served "for a real effective re- search" it would involve costs of one hundred twenty to one hum dred sixty million dollars. Attlee replied "I'm fully advised on these matters"
 The British Press Association Exchange Telegraph said Prime Minister Attlee had discussed with his cabinet the advisability of his visiting the United States soon to confer with President Truman.

FROZEN GROUND PRESERVES 2OO-YEAR- OLD CORPSE
By SCIENCE DIGEST

A wooden coffin containing a well-preserved corpse, buried l9O to 200 years ago in the frozen re- gions near Yakutsk, in Northern Siberia, has been found under a layer of leafy birch logs. The wood, covered with hoar frost and ice crystals, had not weathered.
 At the foot of the grave, discov- cred by the V. z. Obruchev Insti- tute of the Academy of Science of the USSR during August of the war-year 1922, lay a wooden sad dle with copper relief ornament showing jumping horses, a leather sack containing horse meat, flat copper kettle, a wooden spoon, and three birch containers. These held butter, porridge and sour cream.
 Although the horse meat had split and darkened, the leather sack was in perfect condition. All the utensile had been punched full of holes. Pagan Yakuts, like many other primitive peoples, killed utensils in burial gifts by breaking or puncturing them.
 The corpse was covered with a wolf fur blanket, and dressed in a fur coat, fur trousers, silk shirt, fur mittens, fur leggings and fur hat. An ornamental loin-cloth was embroidered with blue and black beads. The face was cov- cred with sable skins.
 The fur coat was securely bound over the body with leather straps. All the furs were well-preserved, the fur itself holding up better than the skin. There was mold in some places on the leather, and all the copper objects were tar nished
 The grave was found at a depth of five feet five inches, the divid- ing line bewteen thawing and permanently frozen soli. The lack of cross on the tomb dates it from the beginning or middle of the eighteenth century, before the Christianization of the Yakuts. From that time, when the Yakuts still buried their dead according to pagan custom, the ground must have retained its low temperature, keeping the dead man and his be- longings in a good state of preser- vation.

Mr.. Browning Says That Farmers and
Others are Greatly Inconvenicnced
Just At Harvest Time BY Reason
OF the Closing of Stores Thursday
Afternoons.
To the Editor Of The Republican.
Farmers in Garrett county are feel
ing more and more the unfortunate
effects Of the recent practice OF clos
ing number Of business places in
Oakland each Thursday afternoon
especially hardware and feed stores.
At the peak Of the harvest season,
which is nj hand, the farmer needs
service which will expedite, rather
than hinder, his progress in the grain
and hay fields. A breakdown, with
consequent need for machine repairs
complete assembly Of new parts, may
occur on Thursday as well as on any
other day, with the result that TO re
pains or parts may be obtained until
Friday morning
This fact, depending, Of course, on
stances. be directly responsible for
serious and even tragic crop loss, to
say nothing Of extreme Inconvenience
and delay for the farmer who is not
taking Thursday afternoon off, but
who is working u, II, or perhaps 10
hours a day in an admirable attempt
to produce essential food items that
are vital to the war effort in a very
tangible sort Of way.
Now is not the time to close bust
ness places that are capable of serv-
ing the farmer in regular and emer-
gences practices; rather now is the
time to render every aid that will help
the man-0n-the-iarm to harvest sue
cessfully the crops into which I'M
counted hours Of diligent labor have
gone. True, there is a very real need
for relaxation and recreation among
workers in virtually every field Of en-
deavor, but survey would surely
show that few farmers are able to
cease their lators for the day at noon
time each Thursday. Instead, they
must toll on, and in their busy season
,heE should have in their favor every
factor leading to reliable service and
every element lending support and
wholehealced encouragement.
State and county officials should dis
