Army Reclamation Chief Tells
OF SALVAGE Work at the Front

Texan, q football star during his
college days, and q distinguished
petroleum engineer before he was
called to the Reserve Corps.
"The scope of their activities when
they take over q battle-devasted
area has never been equalled," he
says proudly.
Fable Of "New for Old"
First, they tackle the job of sort
ing the litter Of lost and broken
equipment. Everything In service
able combat condition is frequently
reissued right on the spot. The re-
mainder, whether marred, or perm
anently ruined, must be shipped to
rear bases where its final condition
is determined. There, the Aladdin
fable of new for old" comes true
to an almost incredible extent,
thanks to the alchemy of Yankee
ingenuity"
Carefully prepared manuals tell
how two pieces of blankets can be
spliced together. A regular assembly
line utilizes damaged uniforms, from
their buttons, belts, side loops and
slide fasteners, to fashion usable
cloth into precut patches for field
outfittings.
In Italy a salvage collecting COM
pany of the 5th Army salvaged all
of the equipment of hospital that
had to be evacuated because of a
flood. Medicines, X-ray equipment,
surgical instruments, operating out
fits and ether inhalers were re-
claimed from quagmire of mud.
WACs Take Part in Job.
All the mobile reclamation or SAL
wage repair shops overseas must be
manned by Army service personnel.
WACs are doing an excellent job in
this field. Quartermaster salvaging
in the United States is handled in
one of the six subdepots or $50
repair shops located near Army in
stallations which handle quarter
master equipment.
Efforts of the Army ito stretch"
the serviceability of every piece of
equipment used domeStically have
saved taxpayers a conservatively
estimated 81 400 900 900 thus far in
the war. This figure includes only
activities in the United States and
represents approximately one billion
damaged items to date. Among the
items are enough reclaimed field
ranges to equip approximately one
half million men. It Is estimated
that 853 800 canteens will 60 back
to thirsty users in 1945, not to men,
ton the renovation OF some 778,0O0
meat cans.
The saving of tremendous
amounts of money for taxpayers
through United States Army SAL
wage or reclamation is rapidly be-
coming evident, but that isn't all
by a very great DEAL" Col. Ken
derdine stresses.
THE side in battle with the most
efficient reclamation staff on the
spot always has an advantage,
which may be lost the moment it
is withdrawn. We learned this
during the early stages of the Lib
yam campaign. There the British
for q time found themselves under
fire from Germans manning tanks
which the British had been obliged
to abandon on the battlefield, less
than "A hours earlier"

10 Buy
Bigger Buses

The DSR commission today au-
thorized General Manager William
S. Bullock TO draw up plans for
letting bids on the purchase of
325 new buses to be placed in
operation in the area of the Trum-
bull, Hamilton and Fourteenth
streetcar lines.
The buses which will have a "a
or 45-passenger capacity will cost
approximately $4,000 each or an
aggregate of S4,550.000.
The ommiss ION also hired
Richard Sullivan. city public
utility rates analyst, on a part
time basis to study the DSR's fare
structure. His salary will be
IS 900 a year. He will also draw
his regular salary of $500 per
year from the city.
Virtually all the | 300 coaches
now owned by the DSR are 27-
passenger vehicles sold by the
Ford Transit Bus Co.
JEFFRIES GIVES HINT
Ordering of the larger buses
was hinted by Mayor Jeffries re-
Gently when he termed the policy
of using small buses exclusively
the worst mistake the DSR ever
made"
For a number of years il had
been the DSR plan ultimately 70
convert entirely 10 the N-paS-
senger bus on the ground that
they were faster and more flexible
in traffic.
Fallacy of this plan was pointed
out by the Times in its Your
DSR" series last February. when
it reported that since 1910 the
DSR had purchased 1893 small
buses. and said;
eff instead Of getting l,098
OF the 27-passenger buses, the
DSR had purchased 800 buses OF
the 37-passenger size, II would
not now be so desperately In
need Of 500 drivers.
THE 800 larger buses could
accommodate as many pas
sengers as the l.09S smaller
ones"
o. X. ONE-MAN TROLLEYS
Last week the DSR, admitting
that il was operating on losing
basis, moved to purchase 80 new
Pee one-man Streetcars, and to
convert its older cars TO one-man
operation, as has been done in
most other cities.
Before one-man cars can be
legally placed in operation, how
ever, ii will be necessary for
common council TO repeal an ordi-
nance forbidding one-man opera
ton OF cars seating more than 40
passengers. Action on the repeal,
opposed by Councilman Fred Cas-
tator. is pending. -

SAN FRANCISCO. June IA
uNS)-The Big Five veto was
"in" today and the United Nations
conference at last was on its way
to clean up secondary problems
and complete a world security
charter by the end of next week.
Delegates from so nations,
hopeful of adding Poland to their
midst before adjourning, .ad-
vanced. their work another step
by approving the important char
ter on regional self-defense at a
public night commission session.
ADD PREAMBLE
Today they add another section
the preamble of the world con
Stitution" at the sixth commits
sion meeting of the conference
now in its eighth week.
The one remaining fight OF con-
Sequence--and one close 10 the
hearts of the small nations de-
feated on the Yalta voting for
mula yesterday-waS that of
eliminating the Big Five veto on
future amendments TO the char
ter The Yalta unanimity rule was
approved by vote of 30 10 2.
AMENDMENT ISSUE
But the amendment question
was expected to come up today.
Small powers, again led by Aus
tralia but more strongly backed
than on the Yalta issue, want to
knock out the proviso that
amendments TO the charter must
be approved by the Big Five as
we'll as a majority of other men,
bers of the world organization.
The United States. Britain,
Russia, China and F'rance-the
veto exercising permanent men,
bers of the security council--are
as firmly opposed on this as on
maintaining the Yalta formula.
There is no seriously founded
opinion in San Francisco that the
amendment attack will succeed.
