Supplies to China in2iears
Readies Myitkyina From India
By William Phlpp j : " -
NEW DELHI, Jan. 15-(a5)-Th: first' truck convoy carrying war
supplies to China in more than two and a half years has arrived in
Myitkyina,-north Burma, after an historic 22-mil trip from Ledo,
India. It is the first convoy of trucks ever to Cross the Burma jungles
from India. - v ! 1 jj : f ,, I ,-Jv- ii
Chinese troops under the command iof LL Gen. Daniel I.' Sultan
now are battling the Japanese in
the Wanting and Namhkam areas
along the China-Burma border,
and only 25 miles of the overland
route remain In enesny hands.
Toath Job Near End
, When that . stretch Is cleared
one of the toughest jobs in US
army - engineering ' history will
have been completed two-year
battle against Jungle diseases,
driving Monsoon rains, and Japa
nese troops by workmen of four
nations the United States, China,
India and Burma. -
The new. China .supply line,
more than 1000 miles long, will be
in two sections. The western por
tion, winding through Malaria
Infested jungle from ; Ledo to
Myitkyina and known , through
out the. theatre as "Pick's pike"
was constructed under the guid
ance of Brig Gen. Lewis A Pick
of Auburn, Ala. It -was officially
declared completed yesterday. The
eastern section will run from
Myitkyina to Kunming. .
Cany Ammunition . .
The first string of vehicles now
marking t i me in Myitkyina is
made up of heavy, medium and
light American trucks loaded with
ammunition, jeeps and rartillery
pieces. The drivers are,' members
of the -first US truck company to
work on ,the Ledo Toad. Several
drivers are American negro sol
diers who will be the first US
ground troops to enter China since
the ''.start:: of the , war. T ?-; -; ' 7-
For most of the vehicles it will
be a one-way trip. They win re
main in China because Generalis
simo Chiang Kai-shek's armies
are badly in need of trucks, -. -
The new road will replace , the
old Burma road, which will not
be reppened. Just how much ton
nage it will carry is a military
secret. - . . .
