The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON pyrisht. 1881. by Bell Syndicate. Inc 0T

WASHINGTON. - Much of the waste of Chinese Nationalist war supplies could be avoided if the millions of dollars worth of mum itions we have sent to Formosa were handled direct by the U. s. government and supervised by us.
 Instead, . peculiar system of middlemen is used, thereby per- mitting graft, rake-offs and com shaw to creep in. It's suspected that part of this is to help finance the China lobby which at times has had powerful influence in the U. s. Senate. Just who is getting the rake-offs remains a mystery.
 Here is one illustration of how 2,956,170 gallons of aviation gaso- line was ordered for the Chinese air force on Formosa, a purchase costing a cool million dollars.
 This order was placed on Jan. l. 1950-not during the hectic war days when the State Department white paper tells of widespread graft in the Chinese army.

SHREVEPORT, La, Aug. 10, - -Barksdale Air Force base re- ports that an RB-45 jet bomber has averaged a speed of 886 miles per hour-believed to be a rec ord for that type of plane. This speed was made possible, it was explained yesterday, by a jet air stream which travelled at a speed of from 225 to 300 miles per hour. The stream is an air current which encircles the earth at certain stratas of the atmos- phere.
 Barksdale sources said the
 planes average was made on a recent 13-minute 50-second 205- mile flight from Fort Worth, Tex, to Shreveport.

School Conira(is On Oil and freighf Hauling Awarded

Contracts for hauling oil to various Juneau school buildings were awarded Tuesday evening at regular meeting of the School Board.
 Reliable Transfer was success ful bidder for oil hauling to the Juneau Grade School. Its bid was S3.50 per APO gallon load. Caro Transfer was low with bid for a like amount for hauling to the Willoughby School and Alaska Transfer and Storage Company won the contract for hauling to the Tee Harbor School. Alaska Transfer bid was SAYS for the first 100 gallons with an addition al charge of 1hc per gallon over 100.
 From a Hat As all bids offered were the same for hauling to the Alder Terrace Apartments, names were drawn from a hat with the result that that contract was awarded to North Transfer.
 Of the transfer companies bid ding, two were left which had not received contracts for hauling oil. Their names were placed in a hat and one drawn for freight hauling for the school year of 1851 -52. The name of Orme Trans fer was drawn.
 School Superintendent Ster- ling Sears said that in the fu- turc 1t will be the policy Of the
 School Board to award the
 freight hauling contract for full school term. However. the
 contract will not be given to company which has any other
 contract with the school for that
 year and no company will be awarded the freight hauling con-
 tract for two successive years. He added that the board felt this policy would divide the oil and freight hauling business with the school equitaDiy pe-
 tween Juneau's various transfer companies.
 Ralph E. Kibby. of the Channel Bus Line. was low bidder and re- ceiyed the contract for transpor- tot;op of school children from be- tween the Johnson Children Home and the city limits.

Reds and Allies Just Like Happy Family - Moi a Word For Z Hours, fl Minutes

U. N. ADVANCE HEADQUAR- TIERS, Korea. Aug. 10-R-Dead- locked United Nations and Com munist truce negotiating delegations sat for two hours and II minutes in dead silence today, each waiting for the other to change his position.
 The unprecedented silence was precipitated. the United Nations command said, when the Communist refused to talk about anything ex- cept a buffer zone located where they want it.
 Vice Adm. c. Turner Joy, chief JUN. delegate, proposed several alternatives to break the dead lock. Then he waited for North Korean It. Gen. Nam II, head of the Red delegation to reply.
 Nam said nothing.
 For l31 minutes, nobody spoke.
 Air Charged
 'The air was full of electricity" said Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols. official LIN. command spokesman. He said General Nam fidgeted in nervous embarrassment, smoked cigarets necessarily, drummed on the topped conference table with his fingers or his cigaret lighter, and glanced repeatedly at his wrist watch.
 Occasionally he received notes from staff officers behind him. But he said nothing.
 The other four Communist Gen erals held occasional whispered conferences. Most of the time, Nuckols said, they remained impas- sive.
 Admiral Joy sat calmly, Nuckols said, Writing notes in a detached sort of fashion"
 Joy appeared patient, sometimes bored, Nuckols said.
 Joy finally broke the silence.
 When negotiation resumed after a five day break, LIN. delegates of- fered a series of alternatives in- tended to break the disagreement oyer where to end the shooting war
 The Communists turned all JUN proposals down.
 The five Red Generals refused to consider anything except a buffer zone back along the 38th parallel.
 The armistice talks appeared to be at their most critical point since they began a month ago today. The LIN. communique indicated the ten- sion ridden conference might be nearing a breaking point.
 The Allies described the position of the Communists as "adamant.' For ten consecutive sessions dele- gates have been stuck on the ques- tion of where to create a buffer zone.
 Admiral Joy tried to break the deadlock by proposing that negoti- ators temporarily pass over this question and go on to the next point. That deals with concrete ar arrangements for the realization of military armistice and the resultant cease-fire."
 But Nam Il refused.
