Tai Yuan, China, (NEA)-Lt.-Col. LeRoy P. Hunts U. s. Marines have revised the standard Leatherneck compliant that some people never get the word.'
 For some people," they substitute the Chinese of remote Shansi Prov ince, among whom Colonel Hunt and company have been trying to spread a doctrine of cease fire" since April It has been discourag- ing mission to say the least. Both the NationalistS and the Commun- ists nod solemnly at the truce con- ference and then go back to their fighting again.
 But the staggering blow is that while most of them haven't heard of peace, some of them haven't even heard of the U. s. Marines.
 AS matter of fact, when Com munist Lt.-Gen. Lu Shui Lin showed up for conference in the con- tinental dining car of this cease fire teams motley. l9-car train he assured the Marines it was the first time he had ever heard of
 
 in the war against the Japs.
 It can safely be reported. how ever, that Gen Lin was an edu- cated man when he leftthe con- ference table, and he promised to spread the word in the Commun- ist-occupied hills that there is an organization known as the U s. Marine Corps. and that it Is a mighty ally of China.
 Americans are news in this part of China, where Col. Hunt and his boys are the first that many na- tives have ever seen Occasionally the arrival of the train at village is a signal for the presentation of gifts, and the passenger list on the truce train has been aug mented by a young German police dog, two puppies Species unde- termined), covey of pigeons, an expanding pair Of rabbits, and several chickens.
 Any day now, the Marines an- ticipate gift horse, which would be most useful. When investiga- ton of boundary altercations calls for a trip beyond the railroad into territory that makes even a jeep balk, the Marines have to take to the saddle.
 Contact Via Radio
 The only contact the truce team" has with the outside world is by radio with Peiping. This task Is handled by 2d It Norman D. Phillips of Grapevine, Tex, Pyts. Stanley E. Norman, Council Bluffs, la, and William L. Helfer- ich, Haworth, N. J., Cpl. Ernest w. Weber of Allentown, Pa, is the mechanic and jeep driver A Peiping man. Robert Shin, serves as civilian interpreter.
 The same Communist general who hadn't heard of the Marines later told them:
 We have been trying for 18 years to gain recognition by the National Government, and l be- lieve the cease fire teams are more effective than any other procedure attempted
 This statement is beginning to stagger the Marines almost as much as the earlier one by Gen. Lin. The Nationalists seem to rec ognize the Communists all right and vice-Versa. But cease fire?

 It Says Here

Southern California golf courses are holding qualifying rounds for juniors who hope to reach tns finals in the Hearst Grand Na~ tional Junior Golf chanpior,shiu. I tried to enter but they were . bit skeptical about my age. When I told them I merely look old, they said that juvenile detin- quents weren't allowed either.
 I dropped by the Baldwin goS course here in town to see how the kids were making out. ! wanted to give them g few poira3- CTS but they told me to keep my nose out Of 1t.
 T won't say the golfers wers young. but when they got into q sand-trap They stopped to make nlud-pieS.
 They were really having Htsf' troubles. Ore kid was in the rough all day :. his nurse fnr- got to powder him. T don't rntnd the kids shooting the bah into the cup like 3 marble. but wssen they start putting with lolty- pop, that's too much.
 But they play like little profess stonals. Tn fact. on the 10th hole one kid made 2 bad slice sz,d theE had to wash his mouth with soap
 It was 3 pleasure Do ses potn healthy boys competing In 8 clean American sport like golf, but the game was broken up by the ssad- den appearance of the truan5 ofa ficer.

mantle adventure. In it's unfolding lin the thrilling tale 1t tells and in the breathtaking sp1endor of it's production, it achieves sweep and beauty that makes for all-surpasS- ing romance and excitement.
 Fred MacMurray brings to vivid screen life the lead role of the story's rugged and danger loving coWpuncher. MacMurray plays the part of Clint Barkley with convinc- ing naturalnesS and power Lovely Anne Baxter is outstandingly suc- cessful in new type of role for her-that of the hard-riding owner of the ranch on which Barkley keeps his rendezvous with fate. Her DOT trayal Is superb and is bound to open new avenues for the brilliant young actress. The introduction of famed troubadour Burl Ives in the film is sheer inspiration. His handling of The Foggy, Foggy Dew" and Down in the Valley" among other folk songs, ranks high among the films high spots
 Bruce Cabot, Esther Dale, Roy Roberts and J. Farrel Macdonald, who head the supporting cast of over 100 players, provide outstand- ing performances throughout. Di- rector Louis King has handled the large cast with sure skill, main- taining an exciting dramatic pace from start through thrilling climax.
 Also on same program is the riotous romance Tt Shouldn't Hap pen to A Dog" starring Carole Landis, and Allyn Joslyn and the scher who answers to Rodney" amazingly talented Doberman Pin Laugh packed throughout, and a sure cure for Monday morning or any other kind of blues.

whose methods challenge the very
foundations of what is called COM

OF course the producers are anX-

and principles of our economic life.
But how can farmer toe the mark
and obey all the restrictions that
are imposed upon him by boards
organizations and directors that
make the charts and enforce them
from Washington.
Farmland is turning over last
and the average increase in prices
is now almost 30 per cent above

A MILLION ACRES
IN MOTORS

1t takes the crops from one mil
lion acres to build two million
motor vehicles. The story is eased-
in by showing that 65 per cent of
all the leather consumed in the
United States, plus 1912 per cent of
the cotton and SO per cent of the
mohair, is used by automOtive
plants. That isn't all, 5000 bales
of cotton goes into textiles; cotton
linters for seat padding has a value
of 500 900; and $2,946,000 worth of
wool goes into uphOlstering and
floor coverings; also $2,192,000 for
mohair used in upholstery.
The hides of 256.000 cattle, the
fats and hair from $4,000 hogs; and
a billion and half dollars worth of
sugar cane for solvents. plus $654.-
800 for soy beans used in oil and
plastics; 1.115,000 bushels of corn
for alcohol, naints and varnishes, to
which is added 174,000 bushels of
tlaxseed, which goes through ma
chimes that turn the products into
paint sand soaps. 1t takes 1929 200
pounds of turpentine and 1880
