American Supplies to Russia Include
Locomotives and Rolling StocLvPlanes,
Trucks and United States Experts-
(EDITOR'S NOTE Clyde Farasworth and George Tucker, Associated Press war cor
respondents, hare transmitted the following first-hand description of the movement of
war supplies to Kussian by way of Iran.)
; ; SOMEWHERE IN IRAN- (5 -American rwar material is
reaching Russia via the Persian coiridor fasterthan the Rus
sians can take it. Their warehouses md freight yards are glutted.
Accompanied by Russian officers, we inspected the. soviet
supply ? dumps deep within the
Russian zone of northern Iran and
found yards piled high with Amer
ican war - equipment still ; not
moved to the fighting fronts be
cause the rate of arrival has caught
up with and surpassed Russian
facilities.
" We followed the corridor from
the 'Persian gulf to within a few
miles of the, Caspian sea, visiting
docks, rail centers and great as
sembly plants, and saw the fruits
of the v extensive effort that has
transformed the Persian plains and
plateaus into a vast conveyor belt
over which move planes, tanks,
armored cars, raw materials; ex
plosive, trucks, jeeps and guns for
Russians soldiers. " t !
We saw Bosslaa fflcers la
shock blouses ; an' black boots,
, suns strapped to their hips, rub
their hands and kick their heels
together as MltcheU and Boston
bombers, fresh from American
factories, dropped oat of the sky.
We saw lines of tractors palling
seven-ton trailers la : twisting
convoys miles ' long . carrying
sapplies through the ragged de
files of the Poshtikuh mountains
to the Rd army.
Wesav' American locomotives
pulling : .American rolling stock
manned by experts from the Erie,
New '.Yorar Central, Pennsylvania
and other American lines. We saw
great cranes . lifting locomotives
out of the barges on to dockside
tracks to help in movement of this
mass of materials northward over
hundreds of miles of difficult ter
rain. . .
We saw Americans, sweating on
this : delivery job ? without equal,
struggle against the handicaps , of
adverse geography and climate.
They , are working in exhausting
heat, stifling dust, knee-deep mud,
snowdrifts, blizzards and driving
rain in their place and season. At
the same time they must combat
the hazards of strange diseases in
a strange land.
The full responsibility for these
undertakings is on the shoulders
of Major General Donald J. Connolly,-
lank West Pointer whose
father before him was an army of
ficer and who spent years in the
Philippines, Panama, France and
odd corners of the world preparing
himself for just such an' assign
ment as this, the supreme assign
ment of his career.
Kindly as a school superinten
dent, gray and the father of two
sons, Connolly- is a striking figure
in the riding boots: and .breeches
which! he prefers, to other attire.'
' Operations in the Persian corri
dor fall, into four great divisions:
A palm-edged island is the
heart of the air effort. This 45-mile-long
spit of land one of the
hottest spots in the world in May,
June and July Is the reception
center for fighters and bombers
from America. '
The fighters are trucked in crat
ed from cargo ships, assembled
by the facile bands of experts and
then inspected and given; test
flights. The bombers arrive under
their own power manned by ferry
pilots to whom the ocean crossing
is only a workaday task.
Two: Ports
Russia can thank Yankee far
sightedness and tenacity for the
mass of supplies now reaching the
Red army. Originally, the Soviets
rejected the idea of the Persian
gulf route on the grounds that
17,000 miles of salt water between
US ports and the headwaters of
the Persian gulf was an extrava
gance of time and an invitation to
ruinous losses to submarines. They
preferred to rely on their great
port of Murmansk.
Three: Trucks
Wheelhorse of the Persial gulf
service command is Colonel Don
G. Shingler, Wyoming-bred engin
eer out of West Point who devel
oped the overland transport from
blueprint beginnings into fleets of
trucks which shuttle between gulf
ports and the Russian zone.
Shingler came out from Ameri
ca in civilian clothes with the or
iginal mission to Iran long before
the Unted States was in the war,
and when the Russians still ques
tioned the value of the corridor
as a supply route.
Today, in an atmosphere remi
niscent of Detroit, modern assem
bly lines are discharging trucks
and armored cars at the rate of
one every four minutes.
Few; Kail
The 1400-mile Transiranian
railway into which abdicated Shah
Riza Kahn Pahlevi poured $90,-
000,000 was virtually a ready-
made supply line for Russia, al
though the old Shah never intend
ed it that way.
He tightened the last rail bolt
when the line was completed in
1938, bought the first ticket, and
took the first ride. The Coney Is
land curves, bridges, tunnels and
imported rolling stock were like a
hew toy.
- Americans have turned the toy
of the Shah into a weapon for de
defense of the Union of Soviet So
cialist Republics. .

At present the number of trucks

on how well the platoon system,

Our founder, the late Leopold F. Schmidt, A
in 1896 chose Tumwater, near Oljmpia, a
the site of our original plant because he
found there spring water which, when ana
lyzed by a nationally recognizee! brewing
laboratory and tested by actual brewing,
proved to be ideal.

Olympia Beer met instant favor with the
publie and prior to prohibition sales grew
to large proportions. During these same
years our management established three,
other breweries in Pacific Coast cities.
We put into the sales promotion and
marketing: of the products of these other
three plants all the planning, energy and
intelligence that had gone into the market
ing of Olympia Beer.
r
i
; 7e installed equipment that was like that
used in the Olympia plant. We followed
precisely the same methods of brewing. The
same management directed the processes
anid used identically the same materials. In
each city the best water supply available was
used We hoped that, we might approach
the quality; of ou Olympia Beer ;
To our great disappointment, we found
. ourselves, unable to produce in any of the; j
new plants a beer of like character and !
comparable to that brewed at TiimwaterJ
,-';; V:
The public did not accept the new brands
as the equal of Olympia Beer. The sales of
Olympia in the cities where the new brew
cries were operating showed no decrease
In the operation of these other Breweries ;
we were forced to recognize that without
this one essential factor water front our.
famous subterranean tceJi we could no
duplicate Olympia Beer. I
Therefore, in 1933, when tee returned
the brewing of Olympia Beer, tee 'decided
to confute our operations to the one plant
at Olympia tdth the knowledge that "It9
the Water that makes Olympia Beer so
good. F" "
