Soviet Will Never Bar
Understanding With
West, Press Asserts
BY the Assoeiaied Press

MOSCOW, Aug. 30.-The Soviet
press said today the Soviet Union
is basing itself on the possibility
of "co-exiStence of Socialist and
Capitalist systems, and on peace
full cooperation between them" !"
Both Pravda, the Communist
Party newspaper, and Izvestia, the
government newspaper, said the
Soviets would never place barriers
in the way of understanding with
the West.
These articles came only day
after the entire Moscow morning
press-Pravda and Izvestia in
cluded-carried bitter attacks on
the United States, accusing Amer
leans of planning to attack the
Soviet Union and Communist
China.
The articles conceded with an
other in Red Fleet, the Soviet
navy newspaper, which said the
Soviet army and fleet, and not
the United States, defeated Japan.
Red Fleet said "the advance OF
the Americans in the Central Pa
cific not only did not decide the
result of the war with the Japa-
nese aggressors, but had no seri-
Gus significance whatsoever in
weakening Japan's military
might"
The decisive battles, it said, took
place on Chinese territory, where
"it was not the Americans but
the Soviet army and navy which
wiped out the chief shock force
of japanese imperialism and its
basic strategic reserve, the Kwan-
tung army
(The Soviet Union entered the
war against the japanese six
days before Tokyo surrendered
to American forces after the
atom bombing of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki.
(Both yesterdays and today'S
articles apparently are tied up |
with the Soviet peace" cam
paign, attempting to distinguish
the Western governments from
Western peoples. The theme OF
peaceful co-exiStence pops up in
every Moscow peace offensive,
but when Lenin propounded
this idea, it was with the reser-
vation that ultimately decisive
clash between the Communist
and capitalist worlds was in
evitable.)
Chief Interest in Articles.
Principal interest here, however,
was centered in the Pravda and
1zveStia articles expressing hope
for West-East understanding.
Pravda said: "The Soviet Union
never has placed and never will
place any obstacles in the way of
reapprochement between peoples"
Izvestia said: "Permeated with
deep and sincere desire for the
building of firm peace and nor
NAL business relations with all
states, the U. S. S. RS govern
ment bases itself on the possibility
of peaceful cooperation between
them. Guided by the teachings
OF Lenin and Stain, the Soviet
Union will support every initiative
directed toward the peaceful set
tlement of troublesome questions
which arise between governments"
Yesterday the five big Moscow
morning papers were saying that
American imperialiSts have
drowned the peaceful country of
Korea in blood" The press, ALL
the articles in virtually the same
words, said that "the ruling circles
OF the United States want to main
tain their armies in Korea in order
at a suitable moment to carry out
their aggressive plans against
peace-loving states"

AT one time there were 5000
miles Of narrow gauge track in
the United States, operated by
So companies. The Rio Grande
had the biggest stretch of this
built because it was thought that
standard guage track was too
wide for use in the Rockies.
Narrow guage tracks are only
3 feet apart as compared to 4
feet 8 inches, the standard for
todays u. S. railroads. Placing
the tracks closer together cuts
down the cost of building roads
in difficult places and also in
creases the ability of locomotives
to pun trains up steep grades
Originally the D. & R.G.W.
narrow guage was built from
Denver to AIamosa, center of
the fertile San Luis valley. Ii
was part of an ambitious plan
to connect Denver and Mexico
City.
But at Alamosa, the stories of
the wealth to be had in the silver
country In the high mountains
changed the direction of the road.
Construction was resumed in 1880
and so frenzied was the rush to
tap the rich metal country that
the 200 miles of road to Durango
were built in less than two years.
During the late years of the
1800's, the narrow guage net
work had spread over the Rockies.
following close on the heels of
gold and silver strikes and cross
ing most of the important noun
tain passes in Colorado.
The decline in mining and
opening Of highways spelled death
to most of the tracks. although
a few have survived as freight
lines.

with its only railroad connec-
ton.
liz al. e-.@rt 10 pu-5x1r the trade
the railroad renovated the am
cient equipment more than 10
years ago, but it still was a losing
proposition. Citizens along the
line, particularly at Durango, put
up bitter fight to save the train,
but lost the battle against cold
red figures.
Durango ignored the passing Of
the San Juan express and only
a few amateur railroad fans and
sentimental railroad officials
made the last run.
The creaking wooden coaches
with their gay 90s brass and
luxurious appointments will be
put in storage. They will be
brought out to make the San
Juan run during tourist season if
there is any demand.

Nowhere Flyer Gets Nowhere
APP Newsfeat.lres

CHANIA. N. M-The Nowhere
Flyer IS no more. Ii is believed
10 have been the last scheduled
narrow gauge passenger train in
the United States. For several
months it puffed daily on a 60
mile round trip between Chana
and Bulce, another hamlet III The
New Mexican mountains.
The beginning of the end came
last Jan. 81. Then the San Juan
Express was abandoned. Since
1881 it had made the 2OO-mile
trip from Durango to Alamosa.
Colo. But TO make the trip it had
to go through part Of New Mex
leo And the railroad did not have
the permission of New Mexican
officials to abandon that part of
the line.
So the Nowhere Flyer continu-
ed to run between tine two New
Mexican hamlets. But ii carried
no passengers except an Indian
occasionally who wanted to get
from one town to the other. 1T
was easy to prove that the run
was losing proposition and
permission to stop it was given TO
the Denver and Rio Grande West
ern.
In the early days the sourdoueh
miners, the engineers and the
pioneering capitalists of the west
had ridden instyle on the road
which tapped the fabulouslv rich
silver country around Durango
in the southwestern corner of the
state
As the mines petered out so
did the passenger travel. Freight
haulage, while down, has held
up enough for the line to be kept
in service and provide Durango
