cracked into the Car Service
Division of the New York Central
Railroad one morning in l945.
The two cars, loaded with Army
secret cargo, had left Buffalo four
days before bound for San Fran
cisco.
But by 9 am. Car Service had
located the train highballing west

disconnected the two cars and
attached them to a speeding ex-
press bound for New Mexico.

compiled figures on the travels of
a typical boxcar. In period of
four years, it passed through the
hands of 80 different railroads,
some as many as 10 times. for a
total of 22l changes. The car had
been in every state at least once,

EARLE HUNTER. R., IS
H0N0RED AS NATIONAL
SKI PATROL MEMBER

Earle Buddy Hunter realized an
almost lifelong ambition last We'd
nesday night, when he was made a
member of the National Ski Patrol.
He had apprenticed for a year,
working with both the Mt. Hood
and the Santiam patrols, and last
year he took first place in the
races between the Santiam and the
Willamette Patrols, which takes in
both the University of Oregon and
the oregon State College districts.
These races are judged on speed
and first aid work, including trans
porting the injured patient. This
year Buddy placed second, two
tenths of a second behind the win
ner.
At the ski banquet held in Eu-
gene, Oregon, he was very surpris-
ed to learn that the judging COM
mittee, composed of National men,
bers from the Northwest district,
had waived the age requirement in
order to present him with his men,
bership in the National organiza-
ton. Buddy is a second year pre-
medic student at the University OF
Oregon.
He will return to Juneau for the
summer in about two weeks.

Diplomatic sources in Marking,
the former Chinese Nationalist gov

most countries favor recognition of
the Chinese Communists when their

Britain, France and India. have
greater interests in China than the
United States. American officials,
these sources said, are urging that
recognition be used as bargain
ing lever with the Communists for
better treatment of non-Soviet in
terests.
