busy casting the concrete

completed it is estimated a

Mr.. Olson explained that
only $4,000 were allotted for
this project and this would be
insufficient to build 40 units in

May Precipitate General War.
But If Russia moves in that
direction she will precipitate a
general war, and before Red forces
arrive there the wells and re-
flneries may be made imperative.
Meantime, Russia's own oil sup
ply is open to American attack
from the North African bases. Her
major source of supply is field
in Baku within the striking range
of our bombers. The field is high
ly concentrated and it's derricks
are mostly wooden. Another field
at Grozny is equally as exposed.

World Bank Drafts
5-Year, SIS Billion
PROGRAM in Colombia

The World Bank yesterday rec
commended that Colombia engage
in a five-year development pro-
gram costing $2.5 billion to raise
the standard of living of its people.
The report, issued in Washing
ton and Bogota, is the result OF a
comprehensive survey made by a
mission sent to Colombia by the
Enthusiastically the International
Bank for Reconstruction and De-
velopment.
This is the first time big job
of technical assistance has been
undertaken by the bank for a
member country. 1t may point
the way for other countries which
need expert advice on how to make
their resources yield better living
for their people.
$500 Million a Year.
Under the f1ve-year program
Colombia would spend about $500
million year. The country now is
investing about $3.50 million a year.
1t is assumed that under the pro-
gram there will be per cent
annual increase in productivity
and that about $50 million year
in foreign capital will be at
tracted.
The bank has indicated that il
may advance some of the money
needed if the missions recon-
mendations are followed. Co.
Iombia itself is expected to finance
most of the program.
The recommendations include
improvement of agricultural pro-
ductivity, expansion of steel fab
ricating facilities, expansion OF
the oil and coal industries, proper
development of railways and
highways and other tranSporta-
ton facilities and development OF
electric power.
Health Program Urged.
Also recommended are strong
public health program, a better
education program with more nu-
merous. better trained and higher
paid teachers. and Government
program for low-cost housing.
The report said that noticeable
improvements in living standards
should be achieved in two years.
The mission spent four months
In Colombia in the latter part OF
1919. 1t was composed of IA
members headed by Lauchlin
Currie, former presidential ad-
wiser, who now has been retained
by Colombia at a fee Of $150,000
to help carry out the recommen-
dationS.
Bank officials said Mr.. Currie
will have nothing to do with any
loans which may be made by the
Bank of Colombia.
The cost of the survey and
report were shared equally by the
bank and the Colombian govern
ment.

Is Russiu Ready?
(Sirth OF a SerieS.)
By Richard Wilson
Chief Of Washington BvreoU
of Cowles Publications


In spite of her mass military
strength, Russia is hamstrung
today by three Gripping limita-
lions. They are:
/. Weak transport.
2. Inadequate motor fuel.
8. Instrumentation Of indus
try.
These factors deter her from
general aggression. They cause
her to force or induce Red-trained
armies in the countries around
her borders to start local wars,
as in Korea today, perhaps in
Indo China and Yugoslavia to-
morrow.
In a survey for Look Magazine,
Soviet expert Ellsworth Raymond
(former United States intelligence
expert in Moscow found Soviet
industry badly exposed to Amer
lean air attack.
Before and during World War II
Soviet industry was pushed back
of the Urals. A fierce pride
caused the Russians to build
their plants bigger than the West
ern countries could boast.
When World War II reached
its peak, MagnitogorSk had be-
come the chief producing center
of steel for artillery shells. Plants
at Nozhni- Tagil and ChelyabinsK
produced half of the Soviet tanks
About half of Soviet aluminium
production was centered at Ka-
menSk- UralSk.
Mr.. Raymond found that half
Of Soviet artillery production was
in four plants, and half of Rus
sian nitrate production came
from one plant in Central Asia
NovoSibirsk, the Siberian Chi
cago," was the principal Russian
plane producing center. The So
viets claim that the machine
works at Sverdlovsk can outpro-
duce Krupp.
Increased in Size, Capacity.
Since the war all these install
lations have been increased in
size and capacity. Today they
are on the target maps for the
"retaliatory blow" if Russia moves
in Europe. They are exposed not
only to long-range attack direct
from the United States by B-36
bombers, but by shorter range
craft like the B-29 and B-50 from
American and British airbases at
Port Lyautey, Tripoli. and Suez
in North Africa. These bases are
from $500 to 1900 miles away
from the Soviet war production
centerS.
Experience in Korea with con-
ventional bombing and the ex-
perience of World War II at
British and German industrial
centers does not apply in the
world of 1850. The American Air
Force, with an ample supply OF
atomic bombs, is in a position to
destroy rapidly major centers OF
Russian war production.
The cost of doing so would I'M
doubtedly be high. in spite of the
range and attitude of American
long range bombers, but in all
out war the cost would probably
not be too great.
Russia is seriously embarrassed

Ava Kisses BuIIfighter
In London, Flies 10 U. 5.
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Aug. IL. Movie
Actress Ava Gardner paused long
enough to bestow five kisses on
Spanish Bullf1gher Mario Cabre
before taking off for New York
tonight.
Despite all the attention from
Mario, Ava insisted:
There's still no romance in my
life-no romance at all. There's
no news yet"
Ava arrived at London airport
carrying carnations. Mario handed
her three roses. Then they toasted
each other in brandy. She dropped
the flowers twice, and Mario duti-
fully picked them up. When she
stood up to leave. the Spanish
poet-actor- bullfghter kissed her
twice. They held each other and
kissed again. After customs, they
got two more in.
Goodbye, Mario" said Ava.
Goodbye, sweetheart" the
Spaniard called.

The Soviet Union achieved It's
big World War II production by
concentrating on guns, tanks, am
munition and airplanes. Mr.. Ray
mond points out that production
of transport vehicles and facili-
ties came virtually to standstill
While tanks were built in auto
plants, the Red Army rode to VIC
tory in 100000 trucks provided by
United States lend-leaSe.
The same is true of other forms
of transport. We sent Russia
million tons Of shipping in addi-
ton to locomotives, railway cars
and transport planes. Much OF
this equipment is now worn out
and in World War III we will not
be supplying the Red Army with
the means of transport.
These three important limita-
tions may give the United States
time adequately to prepare itself
to fight Russia.

surgeons fees, medicine and prac-
tically every item of expense in
connection with illness will be
paid for by their membership in

plan in Blue Cross is being opened
to all citizens Of Holmes county,
both white and colored, beginning

tinuing through November 9Th.
Heretofore Blue Cross has been

These truly remarkable services
offered by Blue Cross are made
possible because it is a non-profit
organization. II does not have
any stockholders or pay any divi-
dends or fancy salaries. 1t is a
public-spirited organization try
ing to make possible health pro-
lection to the masses of the Ameri-
can people within the structure of
our American system of free en-
terprise.
Around 80 million American ci,
tizens, including $4,000 Mississip-
plans. are members of Blue Cross.
There are about 500 members in
Holmes county.
l hope every family in Holmes
county will be receptive during
the next two weeks when a local
representative in each community
will call upon you to tell you
about the benefits of Blue Cross
This is not just a scheme to sell
you something - it is an effor,
to see that every family is freed
from the financial worries anc
problems which occur when ill.
ness strikes - to give needed pro
lection and service to every indi.
vidual and to every family.
The cost per individual is les.
