Ever Watch Yourself Having An Accident?

JAMESTOWN, Mont. (P)-Mar- tha Hoeckle, a school teacher from nearby Brooks, watched a driver less automobile roll across a street slip between fire hydrant and a gasoline pump and crash to a stop against a brick wall. I'd hate to be in the way of that car," she remarked to a com panion as they walked on to a teachers meeting.
 Hours later she returned to where she had parked her car, found it gone and realized then that it was her own automobile she'd watched on the loose. She found it-with fender and bumper smashed-right where she saw it stop.

. Despite the fact that they are
completely in the black on the
Chinese-American Pacific salvage
deal, the Chinese are not altogether
happy over it. according to Gen.
Ting.
Gen. Ting is responsible for the
Chinese pickup of United States war
surplus from every Pacific island
dump except okinawa.
Last November the United States
suddenly announced it intended to
run off an atomic-bomb test at
Eniwetok in the Marshalls. The
word took the Chinese by surprise.
Eniwetok had more valuable surplus
than any of the other Marshall is
lands-Kwajalein, Majuro and Roi.
| For reasons best known to them
selves the Americans had abruptly
decided to destroy their sitting sur
plus on Eniwetok. The Chinese
were as puzzled over this as they
were over the behavior Of individual
Americans in uniform who destroyed
wantonly their own expensive equip
ment, like trucks, which they
pushed. off cliffs, when told, "Clean
up before you can go home"
Scrap Given Away
The salvage still sits there. what
is left, on Kwajalein, Mario and
Roi. Thousands of dollars worth Of
salvage already contracted for by
the Chinese was thus impetuously
destroyed at Eniwetok, and the
Chinese retaliated by refusing to
pick up any of the salvage in the
Marshalls.
The stuff in the islands Is divided
into two classes: Surplus that is
usable, scrap that can only be
melted or thrown away. The Chin
ese pay" that is, are credited with
the surplus. The scrap they get
free.
The main headache is still about
what the Chinese take uncondition-
ally as useful surplus and what they
get for free, as scrap. 1t is in the
Chinese interest to push as much
material into the scrap class as pos
sible. Scrap steel has a good sales
value and does not diminish by a
penny the United States debt to
China.
Might Get 1t Back
Gen. Ting is selling scrap to an
American salvage company for about
$40 a ton. The company ships it
back to the United States for sale
to Bethlehem Steel. The steel that
China obtained free here becomes
worth around $34 a. ton in the United
States. China is realizing about a
million dollars cash in this way
alone, according to Gen. Ting.
Our wartime supplies now being
dumped in China are in danger Of
feeding the war machine of the
Chinese Communists. China in
tends to continue shipping thou
sands of tons to already clogged
ports Of Shanghai and Communist
surrounded Tsingtao for the next
five months.
In the event of conf1agration in
the Far East it is not improbable
that Americans may be. killed with

Fantastic Story Of Pacific War Salvage


One OF the legacies OF World
War II tn the Pacific theuter Is
past surplus OF supplies and
munitions stacked on islands
from Which Americans drope the
Japanese backward to defeat.
What is happening to these
salpage dumps is a story OF pri-
mary interest to Americans to-
day. George Weller, who cou-
cred the Pacific ,Dar beat for
the Chicago Daily 'Ne,os Foreign
Service and The Star, has un-
petled that story after reDisiting
the islands on tDhich Americans
fought.
Evening star., 1948-11-14

>thelr own war supplies as CIley were
at Pearl Harbor.
Many of the surpluses being
shipped to Chipa or sold by China
back to American firms are sorely
needed here. On the docks OF
Saipan I watched the freighter
Lakeside Victory being loaded with
kegs of galvanized nails and drums
Of black paint. At the same time
veteran in the housing business
here was trying vainly to get such
materials at several times the cost
to China.
Piano Measure
Canned foods are going to China
at prices about one-sixth what the
Pacific islander, earning less than
a dollar a day, must pay.
Under the peculiar sales system
used here everything except vehi-
cles and machinery is counted by
measured tons" This ton has
nothing to do with weight, but is
a measure of 40 cubic feet, or about
as much as the space of an up
right piano.
For all food and materials the
Chinese pay" only $44 per piano
full. whether they are buying as.
pirins or paint, toothpaste or new
shoes, blankets or fishhooks.
This figure is reached by charg-
ing China % per cent of the $20C
cost of everything, Jumped together
usually bought by the Navy's three
Bureaus of Supplies, Yards and
Docks and Medicine.
Since canned food is supposed to
cost $400 per pianoful to the tax
payer, China gets it for $88, includ-
ing some fine 1947 canned fruits
Aviation equipment, including in
struments and parachutes, costs the
taxpayer $500 per pianoful. China
gets it for $40. \
When selling back to Americans,
China adds to the price about as
much as it paid the American Gov
erment. According to Gen. Ting
about $5,00OO00 has been realized
by China selling back American ma
terials to the United States.
Salvage Almost Done
The entire equipment on Wake
Island, valued at $750,000 and
handed to China at $165,000, has
been sold at an undisclosed profit to
Transocean Airlines, which flies the
Manila Hawaii run.
The salvage job Is 80 per cent
done. with Ulithi, the only island OF
13 still untapped. Guam still has
$4,000 tons waiting to 60 to China
and Saipan another $4,000. Tinian
Los Negros, Finschhafen, Marcus
and Two Jima are done while Peleliu
is within 5000 tons Of closing.
One final irony remains: Having
been barred from the cream of his
own surplus in the Pacific, the
American buyer is now given
chance to bid on Japanese salvage
A party of hopeful businessmen Is
now forming to purchase what re-
mains at Truk after the American
carrier raids of February, 1914:
Grounded barges, sunken ships
smashed generators, twisted cranes
and rif1es-demilitariZed.

UNITED States to China was choser
by the State Department to be paic
through the transfer of Pacific sal
wage valued, when bought by the
taxpayer, at $500, ,000, 900, not includ'
ing cost of shipping 5000 miles.
Idea Behind Salvage
To pick out this "debt" for pay
ment it was necessary for the STATE
Department to close its eyes to such
other advances to China as the
$500, 900 900 financial reconstruction
loan, made during The early days OF
the war in the childlike hope of up
holding the Chinese dollar.
| The idea behind salvage is: We
pay our small debt to China; we
ignore China's huge debt to us.
Imitation in China is not tenn
porary furry, as Americans imagine
but the main method of taxation
The Nationalist government can.
not collect taxes directly and refuses
to inf1ict biting income taxes on the
rich merchant class. Nanking "col.
lects taxes" by printing more money
and reducing The value of the capt.
tai of every Chinese. The Chinese
Communists use the same method
The United States actually oWec
China a small amount for the hous.
ing of Americas few troops, fol
paying the coolies who built air.
fields for China's defense and for 2
small quantity OF non-Americar
food.
The hopeless instability of the
Chinese dollar has been demon.
strated to a point that no Secretary
of State, even Mr.. Marshall, woulc
dare again propose a currency
sustaining loan to China today. But
the debt" acknowledged in salvage
operation is one largely built up Out
of this oblique way of holding ur
the Chinese dollar.
People Get Little
The logical thing for Govern
ment which wished to protect its
taxpayers to do would be to discount
the $1C0, 900 900 debt" from any one
of a whole chain of unpaid "loans'
to China, beginning perhaps with
the distressed 10000, 900 financial
assistance loan. Then the salvage
might be given to China outright OF
under control, a new loan" given
or part Of the salvage used to ease
Americas million-a-day burden oi
supporting Japan and Greece.
In wartime, when American news
papermen in China tried to reveal
the racket of overstuffed charges
piling up against the United States
Government, their dispatches were
blacked out by American Army cen
sorship. Today the same rugged
finance is used to settle on China
vast miscellaneous collection OF
salvage which it cannot distribute
even to itself.
A little salvage has leaked down
to the Chinese people. The bulk
however, will probably either be sold
back to the United States or lie on
Shanghai and Tsingtao docks until
the Communist armies capture it or
retreating Nanking demolitionist
sets it afire to prevent its capture.
