Science at Work
New York U.R) A new
wood is on the way to this
country and it may be a boon to
the stenographer.
The wood, according to Yale
University scientists, may save
the girls from runs In their
stockings. The wood is known
technically as manllkara biden
tata. It seems just the thing for
the manufacture of legs or posts
of office furniture.
"Dr. Frederick F. Wangaard
of the Yale forestry research de
partment said the wood Is of
extreme durability and almost
immune to abrasions, scars or
splinters.
Trees Being Studied
The new wood comes from a
tropical tree which is one of 75
species of tropical hardwoods
that the Yale scientists are test
ing for the U. S. Navy. The Yale
group is particularly pleased
with studies on the manilkara
bidentata. Said Wangaard:

Find Guam Easy
Pushover in War
Agana, Guam (U.R) Am
erica s enemies In tne urieni
will never again find Guam the
pushover that the Japanese did
10 years aeo when they captur
ed this strategically-situated is
land with scarcely a struggle
on Dec. 10, 1941.
The United States has spent
many millions of dollars to
make Guam a permanent, for
ward-area fighting base, and
Rear Admiral Ernest W. Litch,
commander of the Marianas-
Bonins defense command with
headquarters here, said: "We're
ready for them if they ever come
again. '
Guam westernmost Pacific
base erected on territory of the
United States is a key point
in the MacArthur secondary
line of defense" against Com
munist Asia. It s 217 square
miles of palm-fringed coastline,
volcanic mountains and tropical
jungle are bristling with defense
establishments.
Plenty of Room
Apra Harbor, site of the nav
al operating base, can accommo
date a giant fleet of deep-draft
fighting ships, including the
largest vessels now sailed by
the United States Navy. Ship
repair facilities are here to do
major repair voyages "to Pearl
Harbor or San Deigo.
Here, the Navy also has an
ammunition storage depot, a
giant communications station, a
hospital and a naval air station
in active commission. A second
naval air station is out of com
mission on a standby basis.
Near the northern end of the
30-mile long island is Anderson
Air Force base, headquarters
for the 19th bombardment wing,
now fighting in Korea from for
ward bases in Okinawa. Two
other air force bases, Northwest
Field and Harmon Field, are
kept on Guam on a standby bas
is. Support to Fleet
Guam s peace-time mission is
to maintain a naval base in a
forward area to support the op
erating units of the Pacific
fleet.
In case of war, It could serve
adequately, and logically, as
headquarters for the U. S. Pac
ific fleet, now located at Pearl
Harbor. Fleet Adm. Chester W.
Nimitz set the precedent for
such a move when he transfer
red his headquarters here from
Pearl Harbor in August, 1944,
to direct the Navy in the final
phases of the Pacific war. ,
When Admiral Nimitz set up
operations here, the sound had
hardly quieted in the battle by
which the United States regain
ed control of Guam from the
Japanese.
In case of war, Guam also
could serve, as it did in the last
12 months of World War II. as
a staging area for thousands of
troops moving forward to en
gage the enemy.
American Samoa consists of a
group of islands just east of the
International Date Line, 800
miles south of the equator, and
about 2,275 miles south of Haw

Brazil Communists Start
Movement Against Russia
By W W. COPELAND j went Into hiding when their ar-U-P
Press' Staff Correspondent i rests were ordered to answer to
Rio De Janeiro Si.H) Dis
sident Brazilian Communists,
rebellious toward constant serv
ility to Russia, have started a
national Communist movement
similar to the Titoist attitude
in Jugoslavia.
The new movement was laun
ched on the 30th anniversary
of the regular Brazilian Com
munist party by the rebel Jose
Maria Crispim, who Renounced
the Russian line and announced
the formation of a national
Communist party to be called
the Brazilian Revolutionary par
ty. What success the movement
will have is a matter of conjec
ture but it has been apparent
for the last year there was a rift
in the old line Communist party
which was outlawed in 1947.
There have been several pur
ges, in one of which Crispim
was expelled from the party.
Formerly Top Man
Crispim, about 40 years old.
was a militant leader of the reg
ular Communist party and one
of its top men lor many years
He was an army sergeant and
took part in the Communist up
rising in 1935, after which he
went into hiding. He did not
show up again until in the 1945
elections, when the Brazilian
Communist party elected him to
the federal legislature from Sao
Paulo.
At the same election, his then
leader, Luis Carlos Prestes, head
of the Communist party in Braz
il, and against whom Crispim
now has declared war, won a
seat in the national senate.
Both lost their seats when the
party was outlawed and both
charges of subversive activities.
Beiwoen Two Fires
Secret service men believe
that Crispim is in a tight spot,
caught between two fires, after
launching his proclamation of a
new party and open denuncia
tion of the Cominform group.
They have no doubt that he
has been, or will be, ordered
liquidated by his former Com
munist associates. He cannot
seek police refuge because
there are two orders for his
preventive arrest, one In Rio de
Janeiro and one in Sao Paulo.
A few days after Crispim an
nounced his new party, an an
nouncement made from hiding.
Sao Paulo police claimed to
have found evidence of its ac
tivity.
In a routine raid they said
they discovered a group of Cris
pim followers already at work
for the new party. No names
were revealed but police said
all of them were formerly mili
tant members of the regular
Communist party.
THAT'S GOSPEL TRUTH
Penney Farms, Fla. (U.R) A
local minister reported that one
of his New Hampshire Reds laid
an egg 10 inches in length and
seven inches in clrcumerence.
The egg weighed half a pound
and contained two perfectly

Female Monkey Makes
Monkey of Male Monkey
Houston, Tex. (U.R) It
takes a female monkey to make
a monkey out of a male monkey.
Freda, the male, escaped from
his owner, T. J. Bell. After a
three-day chase. Bell found Fre
da in a tree but two hours of
coaxing left Freda unmoved and
still in the tree.
Finally Bell returned In his
car with Cheta, a female monk
ey, tied to the steering wheel.
Minutes later Freda leaped in
to the car and began chattering
happily with his mate.
Girl Couldn't Pay Fine
Because Permit Lacking
Battle Creek, Mich (U.R)
Susan Ellis, 19, tried for a year
to pay a $3 traffic fine but the
violations bureau wouldn't ac

didn't have a driver's license. ,
Miss Ellis, who was fined for
driving without an operator's

of natural wood with respect to
marring or splintering.
However, the studies show
that the new wood bulletwood
as it is known commonly is su
perior even in Its natural state.
"It is so durable," the Yale
scientist said, "that buildings
using bulletwood timbers erected
in Puerto Rico around 1500 have
sood up to tropical weather for
over 400 years.
Wood Much Stronger
The scientists said the bullet
wood is more than twice as
strong as white oak, the most
widely used North American
hardwood. It Is dark red but is
plain, not highly figured like
mahogany, and it can be ma
chined to an extremely smooth
finish.
Wangaard believes bulletwood
also may be used for ice-sheath
ing of ships, for boat frames and
marine keel shoes.
