Will Ask Bureau Of
Public Roads To Also
Designate HighwuY

Wednesday wyoming became
the last of the five states
through which it runs to desig-
nate Highway No. 81 as an in
ter-regional highway, preparing
for the presentation of the case
for the highway as a connecting
link between the ~Pan-American
highway through Central and
South America and the highway
through Canada to Alaska.
Dan w. Maddox, president Of
the Montana Highway 81 as
ISOLATION. and A. M. Crilly,
Hardin's mayor, were informed
by telephone and wire Wednes-
day that the Wyoming state
highway commission had ap-
proved the designation.
Montana, Colorado, New Mex
leo and Texas have already
made the designation, and the
matter will now be presented
to the Bureau of Public Roads
in Washington, D. c., for fed
eral action. It was thought that
some modification of federal
highway standards might have
to be considered in view of the
terrain through which the
highway runs.
The Montana state highway
commission has G mated
Highways No. 81 and Nc. 81 as
inter-regional highways. High
way No. 81 runs through Salt
Lake City to Los Angeles, Calf.
It is the latter road which now
connects Great Fills with the
Canadian border.
Highway No. 81 had long been
the state highway from the
Wyoming border to Billings,
Mont.
1t is expected that the 600
miles on the so-called Alcan
highway in Canada will be
completed shortly. 1t was stated
last week that President Tru-
man had expressed himself as
especially anxious to see the
completion of this stretch OF
highway.
81 1t was pointed out that il
Highway No. 81 becomes a con-
Meeting link in the great two
continent highway system, traf-
fic over it would be greatly in
creased. This would give a big
boost to the postwar prosperity
of this area.

ALABAMA GOVERNOR WOULD
CHANGE PRIMARY Law

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 8
(ANP) = Gov. Chauncey Sparks
has asked the legislature to give
thought to possible revision of the
states election laws in view of the
supreme court decision in the Tex
as primary case.
Gov. Sparks suggestion follows
similar action by South Carolina
and Georgia in their efforts to
evade the courts rule which would
enfranchise millions of new vote
less Negroes.
Hedging on the poll tax issue,
Gov. Sparks in his opening address
to the new legislature failed to ask
for outright repeal as did Georgia's S
Gov. Ellis Arnall, but requested
only that it be amended to abolish
the cumulative feature. At present
the tax Of S1.50 annually can
amount to a considerable sum over
period of years.
"In my judgment" the governor
told the legislators, meeting in
joint session, "the cumulative fea-
ture of this tax is deterrent to the
exercise of the franchise by many
of our best people.
MANY of our citizens neglect or
forget to pay their poll tax and sew
eral years of neglect or forgetful-
ness pile up a very real barrier"
Gov. Sparks went on record as
favoring the regional university
system for Negroes, in an effort to

Georgia, Mississippi, Virginia and
South Carolina.
The survey reveals Isl patrol
men, II detectives, four policewo-
men and 20 special officers. The
figures are minimums and do not
attempt to include areas which
have not been reported.
With few exceptions of the "a
sources, the authority Of these
sources polled the authority Of
these officers is restricted to their
territory Gin Negro districts.) The
general procedure for a Negro Of
ficer is to halt or hold a white vio-
lator and summon a white officer
to make the arrest for the record.
The colored officer appears as a
member of the prosecution at the
time of trial. Their pay is also not
equal to that of white officers, ex-
cepting in cities where police Off
GERS are employed on the basis of a
civil service rating. In these the
salaries are identical.
The survey also reveals that the
often prevented contention in
states where there are no officers
that such officers would be re-
sented is to be discredited. To the
contrary, the officers presence has
oiled race relations. No city using
them contemplates discontinuing
the practice, rather, many indicate
that others will be added as the
program for this kind of democ-
racy advances, notably among cit
les in North Carolina. While Vir-
ginia does not now employ Negro
officers, several cities are giving
thought to them.

Head>Hunters, Snakes, Earthquakes
 (As We'll as Jabs) Aqvait GI in Formosa

One of the big industries is cam phor manufacture; this product is distilled from a species of ever green tree. The camphor forests are in the east, on the slopes of mountains that go up to 13,000 feet. It is here that the head-hunt- CTS turk, but MT. Terry's guidebook is reassuring about that.
 Slowly but surely" he writes, "the intrepid and determined Japa- nese are reaching out to these se- questered places and are bringing the peoples into the pale of civil iZation."
Bradley beam., 1945-07-07

it the distinction of being Nippon's first colony. But it hasn't been all rice and sake for the Japs since. It wasn't until 1909 that the arable western half of the island could be farmed without protec- tion from the armed forces. Since then, the 150,000 Malayan head hunters cause their conquerors trouble occasionally by wiping out village. In order to exploit the island for the glory of the Empor- or, they have strung electrified barbed wire around the mountain ous areas in the Eastern half of Formosa where the savages live. Since the head-hunters make no distinction between Jap and Chin csc skulls, both of which they fancy, there is no reason to SUD- pose that they will be kindly dis posed to American visitors.
 Formosa is 244x94 miles, oval shaped, a little less than half the area of South Carolina, and is separated from the mainland by a 9O-mile channel only 300 feet deep. Some 95% of it's population of more than 5,0O0,0O0 are Chinese, who from the arrival of the first Jap forces have resisted the invad- CT in one way or another. A Jap general in the early days declared in wounded tone that the Chinese were not afraid of death. To this day the Chinese retain their reli- zion, language, customs and dress.
 It could be, then, that our forces, if they invade Formosa, will re- ceive assistance from them, though it is unlikely that the resistance will be as effective as it was in the Philippines. The eastern half of the island has many cliffs at the waters edge, some 5000 feet high, but on the west there's fiat coast al plain. Presumably the west is more suitable for landing opera tions.
 Plenty of Bananas
 The island is rich in emergency rations, including bananas, oranges, persimmons, pineapples and man. gies, and among it's other resour- ces are gold, silver, copper, sul- phur, coal, oil, sugar, tobacco, or chids and opium.

Allies Lost 4770 Ships

Washington (CNS)-Allied and neutral nations lost 477O merchant ships since 1889, of which 570 were American vessels sunk by direct war causes, and 984, nearly all small ships, were lost because of wartime accidents. U-boats got more than half of the merchant men, aircraft, mines and surface craft accounting for the rest.
Bradley beam., 1945-07-07
By Camp Newspaper Service

According to "Terry's Guide tc the Japanese Empire," Formosa the strategic island off the coast of China, is dandy old place.
 If and when Tank troops invade Formosa they will be in for a merry time for, Terry says, For mosa "offers the blase traveller an unusual thrill-that of hob-nobbing with savage head-hunters who se- cretly covet the visitors head but are prevented by Japanese law and watchfulness from taking it unless the traveller is willing!"
 And, Terry continues ecstatical- ly:
 "The healthfulness of the island, the total lack of the discomforts which travellers sometimes have to endure in order to see strange and primitive peoples in their own homes, and the constant watchful- ness and care on the part of the authorities to provide comfort and safety for strangers, add material ly to the pleasure of visit."
 Lots of MOsquitOs
 It may be that GIs won't find Formosa quite as delightful as MT. Terry did for these reasons:
 The island has an average of 33O earthquakes a year, some of them severe. Nine hundred were once re- corded in one year.
 Mosquitos, including the anoph- les, are bad, and net is a must.
 Typhoons in August and Sep tember turn streams into tidal waves, wash out bridges, and loose 1OO-mile-an-hour winds on the countryside.
 There are lots of snakes, includ- ing 13 poisonous types.
 Parts of Formosa are noted for their rain; Kirun, in the north, for instance, is the rainiest spot in the Far East, with 200 inches year. But Tamsui, only 20 miles away, has less than 100 inches, and Tai nan, 218 miles outh of Kirun, has only 54 inches.
 First Jap. Colony
 When Japan came out of it's iso- lationist shell, Formosa (Portu- guese for beautifully caught it's eve. It was invaded in 1895, giving
