Chennault Loses Airplanes In Court Decision Hong Kong, Feb. 23 tlPiThe Hong Kong supreme court, dis missing a claim by Maj.-Gen. Claire L. Chennault. todav grant ed the Chinese communist gov ernment possession, of 520,000,000 in Chinese nationalist airlines equipment. rhe equipment included some ground equipment and 4ft trans port and passenger planes owned by the China National Aviation corporation and the Central Air Transport corporation. Chennault claimed the planes for his Civil Air Transport com pany on grounds he had bought up all Hong Kong assets of the two nationalist companies when they transferred operations to Formosa last fall.' Chennault, wartime major gen eral in the U. S. air force and com mander of the Flying Tigers, re cently petitioned the court to ap point a rp?eiver lor the two air lines' property in Hong Kong. The planes were taken over by the Hong Kong court last fall aft er a number of air crews of the CNAC and CATC defected and flew 11 planes to communist ter ritory. Claimed by Reds The Chinese communist regime at Peiping claimed the remainder of the planes on grounds they be longed to the Chinese people and should be turned over to the Chi nese communist administration now in power on the mainland. The planes have been kept at Kaitak airfield outside Hong Kong since the controversy start ed. Pro-communist airline em ployes, anticipating the court's de cision, have been Daintine red flags on the ships' fuselages and overhauling the engines during the past few weeks. It was expect ed they would be flown into com munist China within a few days. The two nationalist airlines fled Hong Kong last November in fear that Chinese nationalist property here would be turned over to the communists by the Hong Kong court. Today's decision was the first in a number of pending cases. Other nationalist property still in Hong Kong Includes banks and shipping. In Two Parts The court's decision was in two parts. The judge first rejected Chennault's claim for appoint ment of a receiver on grounds that the fiourt cannot interfere in ,Uier "sovereign immunity" of the Peiping government. In the second decision the court discharged injunctions obtained by both pro-communist and anti communist airline employes pre venting the sale or removal of the planes from Kaitak airfield. Observers here said the court's decision brought the communist invasion of Formosa perceptlhly nearer, now that they have an ad ditional air transport fleet for air borne operations. The disnute started Nov. 9 when several hundred Chinese employes of the two nationalist airlines defected. Althougn Doth sides immediately obtained in junctions and the remaining planes were impounded by the court, pro-communists took pos session of them by main force of numbers. Having the planes In their pos session, and with all legal bar riers to their removal swept aside, the communists will be able to fly Uie planes to China as soon as crews become available.

If you think the weather has been rough lately, shed a tear for the CAA boys at Mullan pass. The five radio operators at the communication station 13 miles east of here have long since set tled down to a snow-bound win- tor AHinnf- nlna font t rnmu hue fallen there already. in iyJ7 the civil aeronautics administration established the Mullan pass station for the bene fit of pilots flying across the dangerous Rocky Mountains. The principal duties of the operators include collecting weather data and broadcasting the material twice an hour during the day to the fliers. The situation is unique in that It is exactly on the Idaho-Montana border. In fact, it's possible for two of the boys to play a game of checkers with one sitting in Montana and the other in Idaho. No Easy Trip Getting up to the lonely station from about October to late May involves a good deal of physical exertion. You drive from Mullan up a winding road for about 10 miles. Then you don skis or snow shoes and trudge a zig-zag course three miles up to the station, a trip thSt takes up to three hours, depending on the shape you're in. A good skier can make the re turn trip down the mountain in 10 minutes. The journey is not always with out its high spots. Whenever a new operator is assigned to- Mul lan pass, he usually is told about Jimmy Darton, or Cougar Jim as he's known as now. Jim was making the uphill trek back to work several years ago and stopped to rest by a big rock. Hearing a rustling noise behind the rock, he peered around to find himself gazing into the un friendly eyes of a cougar. Jim grabbed his rifle and plugged the cat between the eyes. Shoveled to Bed At the top of the hill is the station, which is relatively com fortable. However, up to last year the bunkhouse was about 60 feet from the working quarters. That meant the boys had, to put on snowshoes and take a shovel with them when they were ready to go to bed. They would dig a path through the snow to the door, slide into the house on their stomachs, shovel out the snow that had cascaded in and slam the door. The same procedure was used to go to work in the morning. Now the bunkhouse is adjoin ing the station and is reached from the Inside. "It's really not so bad up here," the boys say. "Other than low flying planes, we have none of the dangers of modern civiliza tion, such as drunken drivers." DOUBLE TROUBLE Hiles.

Farmer Has Stake in States' Foreign Spending By Vincent J. Burke (Unitm Pre. S.aff Correspondent) Washington IP The American farmer has a big stake in the money this session of congress votes for foreign aid. That will become apparent when debate on foreign aid for fiscal 1951 begins. Farm senators and representatives may play a bigger role this year than ever before in determining how much money is voted and how it will be spent. Foreign aid dollars, spent ei ther by the army for civilian feed ing in occupied areas or by the economic cooperation administra tion, have been paying for about two-thirds of all of this country's multi-billion-dollar farm exports. If government funds had not been used to ship these commodi ties abroad, they would have been added to the nation's mounting farm surpluses. That probably would have meant bigger planting cutbacks for farmers under the 1950 pro duction control programs. In many cases the increased supply In the domestic market would have depressed prices. Spending May Be Cut Prospects now are that foreign, spending is going to be cut heav-' ily. The administration wants to reduce spending for the aid pro grams by. about 25 per cent in fiscal 1951. Some" economy-minded senators and representatives want to chop the programs even further. This comes at a time when farm prices and farm exports are skidding despite multi-billion-dollar government financing. During the last half of 1949, the dollar value of farm exports dropped 20 per cent. Farm ex ports totaled about $1,600,000,000 during those six months, com pared with $2,000,000,000 the first half. During the first half of 1949, the most recent period for which figures are available. ECA and army spending financed $1,317, 000,000 in farm exports. In that period, this spending accounted for three-fourths of all wheat and other bread grain exports, 85 per cent of feed grain exports, and 70 per cent of cotton exports. Not Enough Dollars If the proposed reduction in foreign aid spending is applied across the board to farm ex ports, It probably would mean a further big cut in farm exports next; year. Foreign" countries iust don't have many dollars to spend tor American tarm products. That's why there's going to be a lot of talk in congress this year about ways of holding up govern ment spending In favor of farm exports while cutting back for eign aid spending for other items. The talk has started already among some farm senators and congressmen. A move to earmark specified minimum funds of the European recovery program for farm ex port spending was tried in the last session of congress. The ad ministration beat it down. Sens. John L. McClellan, D, Ark., and Milton R. Young, R, N.D., say another such move will be tried again this year. They are concerned about insuring that the governmqnt, will require coun tries, wherever possible, to buy farm products in this country rather than elsewhere, if recovery funds are used. The administration is concerned about the possibility of a con certed farm bloc move to tin up foreign aid funds for farm ex ports. The leaders fear It would leave this country wide open to soviet Russia's charges that the Marshall plan is nothing hut a selfish scheme to dump this coun try's exportable surpluses abroad. The Marshall plan was sold to congress as a cold war tool with which to halt the spread of com munism in Europe. Hut, there Is no question that some ol the farm congressmen who voted for it were well aware such a pro gram was necessary to prevent a collapse in farm exports.

AND WERE TOO TiME of THE YfAR,' ibo late YOUNG BA'afcETBALL-- CHE'A Akin IOO EARiy DOWJNOES' BASEBALL 1 ' X 1 Defense Rests In Bridges Trial San Francisco, Feb. 23 tlP The defense rested today In the per jury-conspiracy trial of Harry Bridges after the west coast long shore union leader testified he did not think the world is threatened now by "so-called Russian Imper ialism." Bridges finished his marathon stint on the witness stand by say ing he "didn't believe" the state ment made by President Truman at Washington yesterday when the chief executive said commu nism's chief danger lies in the fact that "it is an instrument of an armed Imperialism which seeks to extend its influence by force." . Bridges, president of the 75,000 member International Longshore men's and Warehousemen's un ion, is on trial on a charge of lying at his naturalization hear ing In 1945 when he denied he was or ever had been a commu nist. J. R. Robertson and Henry Schmidt, ILWU officers, are co defendants on the conspiracy charge. Prosecutor F. Joseph Donohue ended 10 days of questioning Bridges by reading in its entirety newspaper accounts of President Truman's Washington's birthday speech in which he denounced communism as an "armed threat" and said its great danger lies in the fact it is an "Instrument of an armed imperialism which seeks to extend its influence by force. Direct Question Asked Then Donohue asked Bridges, "do you endorse the president's statement' which states the chief danger of Russia's program is its imperialism?" "I don't believe In that state ment made by Truman or anyone else," Bridges replied. "If the president means imper ialism of any sort, and that he is against it, then I endorse his statement," Bridges said. "But I don't think the world is threat ened now by the so-called 'Rus sian imperialism'." Bridges, who rose from an ordi nary seaman to head of the most powerful waterfront union on the Pacific coast, said he had never visited any Russian colonies dur ing his years at sea but had been to British and Dutch colonies and had seen how "downtrodden" the people were. "If he (Mr. Truman) means FRIENDS H' Evangelists Take Their Church To PlaceWhere Most Needed Atlanta, Ga. tP The Rev. and I Mrs. Sam T. Mayo have changed the routine of evangelists. In stead of going out to the church es, they take the church to the people. In a bright red converted bus, the Mayos have hit the road to carry the Gospel. .While they're riding it's a two-room affair in which they camp overnight When they reach a chosen site, they change the vehicle within a matter of minutes into a chapel complete with an organ and seat ing for a congregation of 40. Their two folding beds are propped up to provide part of the seats and they carry 23 fold ing chairs, a public address sys tem, a movie projector and a li brary desk. The folding partition in the bus also divides the chapel Into two Sunday school classes. Migrants Reached The 30-foot long bus-chapel has been approved by the Southern Baptist convention as a means of reaching out to thousands of mi grant southern workers who might not otherwise obtain spir itual needs. The Mayos left Atlanta recent ly with their first stop scheduled for Bradentown, Fla., where they planned to hold services among the winter vegetable harvesters. Following closely the route of the migratory farm workers, the Mayos then planned to hit Al bany, La,, and Bald Knob, Ark., for the strawberry season, and Sprlngdale, Ark., for more veget able picker concentrations. overthrowing that kind of imper ialism by force of arms, I'm for it," Bridges said. "I'm against im perialism of any kind, and that goes for the queen of Nether lands, the king of Greece, the re public of France and the so-called republic of Italy;" CLOSED FOR Remodeling and Redecorating We're remodeling; and redecorating' the Coffee Shop In order to better serve our many customers.

He and his wife traveled In a conventional trailer but services were held out doors or in what chapels they could find. Upkeep Too Much The Mayos ran Into heavy up keep expenses with the trailer and traded it for a one-ton truck from which they would conduct open-air services. Finally, the elderly minister hit on the Idea of the bus-chapel and the South ern Baptists agreed to finance it. A convincing argument was Mayo's statistics showing that 95 per cent of every 100 migrants have no opportunity to attend Gospel services or even read the Bible. The Mayos tour will reach Into seven states. Besides church ser vices they will conduct kindergar ten, nursery and Bible schools for children and classes for the illit erate. . 4-H LEADERS MEET At the first of a series of 4-H club leaders' meetings, held this week in Sisters, the youth-training program was discussed, and plans were made for observance of national 4-H club week March 4-11.
