T Army War II Kept in Condition by Storage in Big Tanks Lima, O. U.R) To the first age keeps the vehicles in such time the Army has uncorked its tin can tank farms" the Ord nance Department's version of the Navy's "mothball fleet" Col. Stanley W. Connelly, com manding officer of the Lima ord nance depot, revealed Thursday that the Army literally has "can ned" hundreds of World War II vehicles at storage depots across the country. Look Like Oil Tanks Two miles west of this small Ohio city is the biggest of the "tin can tank farms," studded with storage drums that look for all the world like huge oil tanks. But inside the concrete-floored; steel-sided drums are parked the tanks, armored cars, weapons carriers and other vehicles that survived World War II to fight again. The "tin cans" are 11 feet high and from 38 to 55 feet in diameter. About half a dozen combat vehicles are parked in side each one. Staled Against W.alh.f The tin cans are sealed against the weather by a special plastic. Humidifying devices keep dry air circulating through the huge drums. Connelly said this kind of stor- Slim Fed Calves Make Good Meat Washington (U.R) Agricul ture Department scientists have ' made a discovery at their Belts ville, Md., research center which should be welcome news tq cattle ranchers. Their tests show that calves fed scanty rations for six months still can produce high quality meat in some cases even better meat than animals well-fed from the start. -. The experiments were con ducted on six pairs of twin calves. The idea was to discover what effect winter range feeding might have on growing beef calves. . One of each pair of calves was fed a restricted diet from the age of six to 12 months and then gradually put back on full feed - until slaughter. His twin got full .rations throughout. All of the underfed calves picked up weight rapidly when put back on full feed and matched their full ra tioned twins in weight near mar keting time. Slump Rolls Over; One Killed, One Hurt Walla Walla (U.R) A huge stump being excavated here rolled over, killing one work man and seriously injuring an other Thursday. Dead was George Bunce, Wal la, and hospitalized for undeter mined injuries was his brother, Hartley Cartwright. . Coroner Leonard DeWitt said the men were pinned by the large stump in the yard of Earl Dunham. Dunham and his Son pried Cartwright out and police and firemen dug out Bunce's body. go"d condition that depot work ers can often get them running under their own power within two or three hours after they are taken out of mothballs. He said that within 60 hours most of them are ready for de livery to Korea or Western Europe. Other tin can tank farms are located at Lacarne, O.; Anniston, Ala.; Chambersburg, Pa.; Ta coma, Wash.; Texarkana, Tex.; Herlong, Calif.; Tooele, Utah; and Aberdeen, Md. Fashion Models Chief Types Men For Leap Year Hollywood (U.R) The presi dent of the Fashion Models of Southern California warned six types of men Friday to, keep their eyes open during leap year or suffer the consequences. - Judy Immor. said the males that the girls will be hunting most this year were typified by millionaire Huntington Hart ford, actor Tony Dexter, Cali fornia Gov. Earl Warren, Ren zo Cesana, the "Continental" of television; baseball star Ralph Kiner and businessman Henryi Plehn. Warren Past Age Warren made the list al though he's past the romantic age, she said, because he com bines "paternal compatibility with political prowess." Dexter, who portrayed Ru dolph Valentino in a movie of the silent screen lover's life, "satisfies the animal instinct in every woman,": while Hartford has more than a million dollars, which "alone would make his type a prime target for matri mony," Miss Immor said. Doukhobor Choir On Singing Tour Olympia -r-(U.R) The Ambas sador Doukhobor choir from British Columbia Friday con tinued on its good-will tour of Washington .'. and Oregon after missing a chance to sing hymns in the Washington state capitol rotunda, famous for its acous tics. The 27 young men and women were unable to sing in the capi tol building . because they had not made the necessary advance arrangements with the state de partment of public institutions. The choir members, whose average age is about 20 years, are from the Doukhobor settle ,ment between Nelson and Trail, B.C. Their tour is being spon sored by the Americas Friends service committee of Newberg, Ore. The Doukhobors - speak English but sing their hymns in Russian.
