News Of The Silver Bow
Trades & Labor Council

Senator Murray, in a telegram to the
Trades and Labor Council, expressed his
appreciation for the stand of the unions
in respect to the establishment of the
MVA and in supporting a a which
he has introduced in the U. S. Senate.
The unions Of the State of Montana are
definitely in favor of Senator Murray's
bill, while the capitalists and corpora
tons, the Anaconda Company and espe-
cially the Montana Power Company, are
opposed to it. The establishment of the
MVA would be a great boon to Mon
tana-bring money into the state, in
crease reclamation, create new industries
and increase the population. The selfish
corporate interests are opposed to it be-
cause it would interfere with their
monopolistic control, and a stupid legis-
lature, of course, at the behest Of the
Company, sent in a memorial against
MVA.
A letter was received from the War
Production Board acknowledging a re-
quest that Silver Bow county be sup
Piled with more work clothes. The let
ter is as follows:
February IT, 1945.
Mr.. E. c. Vawter, Secretary,
Silver Bow Trades and Labor Council
Butte, Montana.
Dear Mr.. Vawter:
DR.. w. Y. Elliott, vice chairman of the
Wal Production Board in charge Of
civilian needs, spent Friday with us in
Minneapolis. Your wire was especially
timely in that it helped us emphasize to
him the severe shortage of work cloth
ing and work gloves.
I think you will appreciate the mag
nitude of the textile situation, and, as
DR.. Elliott expressed it, his job is to take
a shortage item and distribute it as
equitably as possible.
We believe quite a few forward steps
we're suggested at u meeting which, il
carried out in Washington, will tend to-
somewhat improve the supply situation.

Tanks Fly Hump To Keep China Supplied With Sinews Of War
Pilots Deed Monoon To Deliver Material Ho Air Movement

This is the first of two articles by Harry Grayson, on special as- signment for NEA Service in the China Burma India theater of operations, describing supply movements to the Chinese army. This article deals with the air transport. A second will tell ot rail deliveries to the front.

 Chabua Upper Assam Valley, h. dia, July 16-Goods now can be de- livered by air to China with greater degree of safety.
 With Jap Zeros out of the skies, transport planes now fly farther south. Not only is the required al- titude reduced from 10000 to 13.5OO. feet, but civilization and cultivated fields are below in place of rock, snow and glaciers. Oxygen is used at 10000 feet.

was strong point in favor of all- air transport. This was created by Chinese stick-ups or hi-jackers. Until the FBI and Criminal Inves- tigation Division cleaned things up, every village on the road leading from Ledo to China took its toll of gasoline vehicle parts and even tanks and trucks. Entire trucks were dismantled, when stragglers from conveys were caught by bandits. Brig. Gen. William H. Turner, now in command of the India China Di- vision, spoke of this in briefing 6 group of war correspondents.
 At war with Japan for eight years, cut off from the world except for what can be trucked or flown in the hard way for military purposes, and strangled by terrific imitation, China is an impoverished nation. All the people have is what they raise and make themselves. To give you a rough idea, fountain pen, flash light or razor will bring up to what is the equivalent of $100 in Ameri- can money.

,ral wants to be the all-powerful governor of a province and many of them are working toward that end. Anything in the way of arms, ammunition and equipment acquired and cached now might come in h, ndy in the future. But the worst offenders were Chinese deserters with no interest in the war effort.
 The possession of American Army property is a death warrant, for a Chinese. The theft of pistols and other property have resulted in a number of executions.
 Americas eye-popping air opera tions in India. Burma and China have depended upon special type of logistics and maintenance unlike that employed in any other section of the world. The monsoons, ter- rain and distance compelled unpre- cedented measures to be taken to maintain the flow of supplies.
 Nowhere else in global World War II has there been greater need for planning, coordination and daring methods.

 Washington, July 16-(UP)-As the last turista to get red sticker pasted on his windshield and head south of the border before gas ra- tioning, I think I'm the Teller to help the Senate tell you about the Pan- American highway.

 What the Senate War Investigat- ing Committee is trying to discover is how the army engineer corps figured it would cost $14,000' 'O00 to finish the road from Mexico to the Panama Canal. spent $42,OOO,OOO. and never did get 1t built.
 What worries me is whether the keeper of the leading hotel in Ja- cala, Mex, still hires man to haul water in five gallon ca nsto each bathroom, so the ultra-modern, chromium-plated plumbing Will work.
 This highway starts at Nuevo La redo. Tex, and heads south across A sandy terrain studded with cac- tus and strategically placed canti- mas where good beer is 12 cents bottle.
 South of Monterrey the scenery gets greener, the orange groves be- gin, and every other urchin tries to peddle fudge made with home grown oceans. There is an air con- ditioned hotel at Cuidad Victoria and another de luxe hotel in the middle of the sugar cane fields at Valles. The filling stations mostly have fancy rooms to rent; some have swimming pools, and l wouldn't be surprised if the whole turista shebang is bankrupt now.
 Gas rationing ruined the tourist business about the same time that millions of pesos worth of buildings were erected and equipped with im- ported inner spring mattresses. II you're still with me, we're in the jungle country now, where the al- ligators sleep under the bridges, the orchids grow wild, parrots fly across the road, and when a lady wants to flavor cake, she plucks some beans of her private vanilla bush.

thorough soaking, once week, will encourage the roots to get down where they belong, out of reach of ordinary surface drying. fight wa terings cause development of roots near the surface, which quickly dry out if water is denied the plants for few days.
 The best time of the day to wa ter is in the evening, because loss from evaporation is less. However, one must water when the opportun- ity is most favorable, even though 1t be in the middle of the day. Wa tering through the open end of the hose is far more effective than through the best conceived sprinkler but not under pressure-just place the end of the hose on piece of board or flat stone, or better yet, tie piece of burlap, in the the form of small bag, over the hose and allow the water to run slowly be- tween the rows.
 I am rather partial to the use of porous canvas hose. This hose. made in lengths of 12, 18, 30 and 50 feet, is attached to the end of the rubber hose, placed in rows. and al- lowed to slowly water until the area covered by the length of hose is thoroughly soaked. Then, without turning off the water, pick up the end and drag the hose to the next row.
 The hose enables you to put the water where you want it, and. being flexible. works well in the flower borders and in narrow IclRces where q sprinkler is impractical.

that day there has been 8 steadily increasing stream of aircraft flying to Running over the roof of the world. Seven airports are located in the Upper Assam Valley, in the ex- treme northeast corner of India. More recently huge C-54's have been transporting supplies direct from dock-side fields in the Calcutta and Bengal areas to combat areas in China.
 American pilots defied the mon- soons which last nearly half the year. The India-C China Division of the Air Transport Command grew from handful of planes to surg ing swarm of aircraft which at pres ent take off for the Hump at the rate of one every three minutes. SET NEW RECORD
 In January of this year more than Ay000 tons were hopped over the Hump. This figure is almost four times as much as the total which won the Presidential Unit Citation for the India China Division in De- cember, 1943. And the January re. cord has been shattered. Approxi- mately 50,00O tons month are now being sky-rocketed over the Him. alaya Mountains.
 On recent day, plane of the India China Division crossed the Hump every 75 seconds for a 24- hour period. Guns, bombs, ammuni- tion, trucks, jeeps, airplane engines, horses, mules, blood plasma, whole blood, rations and wfat-no. are in cluded in cargoes.
 The planes haul 20 tons a month of Chinese currency printed in Phil- adelphia and currency paper and ink to enable Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's war-weary> country to keep up with it's fantastic imitation.

your carburetor is gasping for air and SO are you. From there on it is a breeze into Mexico City, which I shall skip (unless there is wide public demand) and stay on the road south to Guatemala. It be- gins to get bumpy and the bumps become bogs at Techauantepec and if you've got any sense you'll turn around and go home.
 The Mexicans are working away at the rest of their road to the Guatemalan border, where the U. s. War Department seems to have started building something, all right, but not to the satisfaction of Sem ators James Mead of New York, Homer Ferguson of Michigan, ct al.
 The Army engineers claim they were in a hurry to finish the road, because they feared German sub- marines. would sink their ships to the Panama Canal. It took 'em 8 while to get started, they had long waits for machinery, and they finally gave up the job in 1943 after spending the $42,0O0,000.
 The road begged down in Gen. tral American mud and North American red tape. Gas rationing won't last forever, and since you may plan then on becoming a turista, too, I'll try to keep you in touch with whatever facts the sen- ators bulldoze from witnesses who seem to be as balky as the mules they imported into Costa Rica.
