Demand Veto On U. IN. Chinese Reds

. WASHIN GTON, (R - Two members of the Senate foreign re- lations committee demanded Sat urday that the United States block any move to admit Chinese com munists to the United Nations, by use of the veto, if necessary.
 Senator George D.-Ga0 told a reporter that with Ameri n troops fighting communists in Ko- req he doesn't think this country can afford to withhold its secur- ity council veto if that is the only way to bar the Chinese commun- ists.
 In a seperate interview, Senator H. Alexander Smith R.-N. J0 called on secretary of state Ache son to make it clear at once that the United States will use every means at it's command to keep the Chinese communists out of the U. N.

Many New Homes Planned For Anchorage

SCA OSIAOh PAoAAo WAAASA WILL OAAAA6 hundreds of new homes to An chOrage soon at cost of about Is million dollars, were announced here Saturday by Harry Lewis, largest housing contractor in the Territory.
 A critical housing shortage has long cripled Alaska's largest city. Lewis is the first contractor to re- spond to federal urging of large scale residential construction in the vital Alaskan defense center.
 The new work, which will in- clude both individual homes and apartment houses, will be in addi- tion to two large housing projects now being completed by Lewis and his associates for the army at Fort Richardson, and for the Alas ka Railroad. The two projects fere financed with Reconstruc- tion Corporation loans.
 The new work will be largely channeled through the Federal Housing Authority with the Seat tie National Bank of Commerce as the lending agency. Lewis and his partner, Myer Lurie, and Lurie's san, Melvin, are the principals in the contracting companies.
 The new projects which will be started this year, are the Holly wood Block of 36O units; Jeffer- son Court, Linda Court and Third Ave. apartment house, each of 100 units, and Goose Lake, 5OO-home suburban development. In addi- tion, complete, modern shopping center will be erected at Goose Lake.
 The Third Ave. Apart m House may be increased to 25O units, Lewis said. Conferences with C. C. Staples, Alaska FILA. director who has led the struggle for new housing will determine the final plans.
 Utilities heat and water will be included in a one-package rental arrangement. Lawis has overcome the high cost of utilities in his Fort Richardson and Alaska Rail- road projects by building them around a central plant which will supply all services. The units have full. basements, automatic wash CTS, dryers and mangles. Kitchens are furnished with electric stoves and refrigerators.
 Lewis stockpiles supplies and equipment in Anchorage ware houses by averaging shipments of Z8 carloads or material from Seat tie every week. His construction goes on the year around. Concrete and other exterior work is com pleted during the good weather and interior work performed in winter.
 The Seattle contractor started in the business at the bottom as a $3 a week laborer on the side walks of New York, and moved to Seattle in 1925. He built several of the present apartment houses on Queen Anne Hill, as we'll as many public school buildings, banks and other structures in western Washington and Oregon.

Plumber Works II
Years at Hobby
To Build Railroad

CRESTON, Iowa-Byron Hiatt
has been working on his hobby for
II years. In that time he has built
a real railroad, complete with two
locomotives, two freight cars, a
mail and baggage car, a passenger
a with an observation platform
and four trestles.
He operates it for passengers on
Sundays and holidays.
The train also has a box car and
4 caboose. The locomotives are
about 8 feet tall at the smokestacks
and about SO feet long, including
the coal tender.
Everything is built to scale, the
result of HATS handicraft. One OF
the four trestles on his route is
steel reinforced and about 70 feet
across. Another spans a gully about
80 feet wide. Hiatt has them num-
bered so passengers will know they
are riding on a railroad line with
four trestles.
Hiatt fell in love with railroading
when he was a boy. After high
school, he went to work for the
Burlington railroad. In 1914, he de-
cided to build a miniature train OF
his own. AS a railroad pipe filter,
he had gained much Of the know
how for the job, so he started to
work.
At 81 a foot, Hiatt estimates he
has invested about Sc, 400 in road
bed alone. and that's just n OF
the less costly items. He assembled
the locomotives from parts he made
or ordered from machine shops. The
track was bought from coal mines.
The passenger and freight r
were used to advertise the Burling-
ton railroad before Hiatt bought and
rebuilt them.
There is a regular roundhouse
and train shed arrangement in the
center Of the area where the train
is parked during the week.
Most of the work or the railroad
has been done before work in the
morning or in the evening.
"I get up at 5 a. m. and work
on the railroad about two hours"
Hiatt explained. THAT way l gain
an extra day every week"

Spanking No Worse Than
fYakyakking,' Expert Says

LONG BEACH, Calf At last
one expert does not disapprove OF
spanking.
DR.. Frank Tallman in a report to
the Southern California Society for
Mental Hygiene, reports:
1.-The youngster understands the
righteous wrath aroused in the par
ent because he's felt the same way
himself. But despite this under
standing no youngster really ap-
preciates a spanking"
Spanking leaves a child sore
in skin and soul' and hostile to-
ward the parent. Gold, needless
spanking can breed resentment
and harm, he said, advocating a
firm but not too harsh attitude.
Spanking is no cure-an but Meth
or is it worse than the practice OF
sparing the rod and "yakyakking
and explaining all the time" which
can also breed hostility, he said.

the new design does not require
rubber for insulation, thus avoid
ing dependence in time of emer-
gency upon this critical item.
Companion item to the new wire
is an improved dispenser, the re-
suit of research to develop a wire
coil that can release wire at high
or low speed without the use of
reels or reel equipment. Field wire
can be released from this dispenser
by blackboard from a soldiers back
without use of his hands, from any
land or amphibious vehicle, or from
an airplane. A soldier, equipped
with a rifle, grenade or bazooka
can also clay" this wire by shoot
ing it over rivers, lakes, cliffs or
