CThis is the fourth and last of the articles on surplus property)
 The War Assets Administration 3iscourages veterans and other sur plus property buyers from snooping around trying to locate the par ticular items they want to buy,
 After you've been certified as eli yible to purchase the stuff you want either the special list" items, or he ether goods for which we vets nave seccnd priority-and a copy of ycur application has gone to the WAA region office, you're not sup posed to do anything but wait. The regional office is charged with scouting for the items and should notify you as progress is made,
 Usually. the R. o. will look only in it's own region for the property you're interested in buying. How ever, if you ask them to. the R. O. veterans branch will widen the search to cover other regions, and even the whCle country.
 But I imagine you should think twice before asking fer this service. If you like in Maine, and the prop erty you want is located in Arizona vou1l have to pay the transportation charges when it's shipped to you or maybe vou'n have to go out there and pick it up yourself.
 Just how far the R. O. extends its search" is largely up to you and your pocketbcok.
 As soon as the regional office To- cates the property you want, it noti fies you, and you've got to be pre- pared either to pick it up, or, if possible. have it shipped to you, c. o. D. That's about all there is to it.
 I thought of one question the other day when I went over to the WAA central office here in Wash ington Whats to prevent veteran from getting certified for some sur plus property, either the special list items, or the non-special goods, in Dayton, then going right to Balti- more, and getting certified there? And then up to Philadelphia and repeating the same business? Then he could buy the stuff in each of the three places as it becomes avail abl, and get himself just three times as much as he's entitled to- Whats to prevent that?
 Nothing except the threat of Fed eral prosecution for conspiracy, collision. deceit, fraud and false statement" That's because when you get certified, you sign state ment that you haven't been certified else for similar items G@ the case of the specialist goods) or, in the case of the non-set-aside goods, that you haven't ever been certified before
 I don't know exactly what the penalty would amount to, but I'm told it wouldn't be bidding. If ! were giving any advice, I'd say don't try to double or triple certification.
 That's about all there is to write on surplus property and how we veterans can go about getting some of it, If there's any point I've missed concerning a veterans rights to surplus property, send your ques-

Chili's Good Deed
A True Story By PHILIP HARklNS

Chill had taken 10 careful strokes through
the dirty waters of the Yangtze when he
realized that he. too had wrist watch on.
Ten more strokes and his white wooden
tennis socks slithered off and f1oated on the
surface. to the delight of the crowds of
chattering onlookers. Several men promptly
dived in to salvage the precious socks.
First my wrist watch, now my socks,
Chill thought And if l get typhoid from

splashed on, reached the woman, put one
hand under her chin and towed her back to
the plane There, the copilot dragged her
up on the wing, face down.
BoTH Chill and the copilot pumped air
into her waterlogged lungs, remembering
what they had learned in some first-aid
course taken long ago - 'out goes the bad
air. in comes the good
The victim, neither young nor pretty,
gave back some water to the Yangtze,
coughed, gasped and became conscious. The

turn to gasp - for the woman was obvl-

Id lining the Yangtze River in their sam
pans used to chorus Here come Chilli
when they caught sight of Charlie Vaughn's
silver seaplane winging down for splashy
landing on the muddy waters.
They were always glad to see their friend
Chill Vaughn. He was young, good
looking American with an expansive grin
that half shut his eyes when something
struck him as funny - as it did very often
in China. And gradually the pidgin phrase,
Here come Chill" came to describe almost
anything aeronautical on Vaughn's COM
mercial air route between Shanghai and
Hong Kong.
One bright. warm morning Chill Vaughn
stepped from river launch to his seaplane
and heard the copilot say: Hey! Look at
that woman
The woman was foundering in the fangtze
about hundred feet away. The sampans
were nearer to her than the seaplane, but
no one in them seemed interested in her

election coming up. the District Attorney
was out to hang Ted Donohue.
The jury was composed mostly of farmers,
and the D.A. carefully exploited the fact
that Donohue was an out-of-county man
who had killed home-county boy. 1t
seemed pretty clear that the case would be
decided on this manufactured moral issue.
When the final jury arguments opened,
the defense lawyer made brief, factual
summing-up of the testimony without re-
sorting to bombast
And then the D.A started his jury argu-
ment.
There must have been Is or 20 Laytons
and their kinsmen in the courtroom, and
the D.A. was talking largely for them and
for his coming election. He launched into
flowery speech in which he reviled Ted as an
as home boy and a paragon of the virtues
The D.A. was just getting warmed up
when l first noticed Uncle Harry's cigar.
The Judge had luxuriously lighted up fine,
long cigar just at dramatic moment. Like
| said, the court was that informal.
/ HE Judge smoked with such obvious
relish, putting slowly and closing his eyes
as though his mind were thousand miles
away, that got to watching him. Before
long an ash began to form on the cigar.
The more the D.A. ranted to the jury,
the more calm and peaceful the Judge got.
The cigar ash got longer and longer. Pretty
soon found myself watching that growing
ash with almost morbid fascination, expect
ing it to fall and cascade down over the
Judges vest at any second.
And l soon realized that wasn't the only
one watching it. Practically everyone in the
courtroom had their eyes glued on it, wait
ing nervously for the growing ash to break. :.
The jurors weren't listening to a word the
D.A was saying. They just sat there. like
everybody else. fidgeting and watching that
fool cigar. The Judge kept putting and the
ash kept getting longer and longer, almost
in defiance of gravity, it seemed The cigar
was down to nub and the ash was still in
tact when the D.A. wound up.
The jury was out only 20 minutes and
when they came back in, Ted Donohue was
a free man. They had never paid bit of
attention to the prosecution arguments, and
when they came back the first thing the
Jurors did was look at the Judges miracu-
lous cigar.
Ii WAS then that l saw the Judge flick the
ash for the first time. When it fell to the
floor saw piece of wire, which had been
carefully embedded in its length to support
it, fall with it.
Then the Judge remembered was sitting
there.
Didn't see anything, did you. son?' he
asked.

MOT long ago an American Army pilot,
~ off his course in Western China reported
that he almost crashed into a towering
mountain peak although he was flying at
more than 10000 feet.
To me, this was the latest in long series
of clues to one of the worlds great natural
mysteries. Is Mount Everest. which reaches
29,l4l feet out of the Himalayas, really the
highest peak on earth?
The question has plagued my imagination
for % years - ever since the day l first
heard of ANNE Machin," that fabulous
mountain named after god who, according
to the Tibetans, dwells in a wild mass of
snow-capped pinnacles in the Kuenlun Range
1t is guarded. the legend runs, by the fierce
Ngolok tribe and their barbaric queen. No
foreigner has ever set foot within its sacred
confines except to die. Barely a handful of
men have looked upon the virginia. purity
of the mountain even from afar.
Anne Machin first came to my attention
in 1923 when the great Asiatic explorer,
General Pereria wrote to me after his famous
journey from Pekin (Peiping) to Lhasa.
