Loaned $134,475 During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1952, the Farmers Home Administration loaned $134,475 in Jackson and Josephine coun ties for production and subsis tence purposes, Komng said.

Malayan Railway Continues Despite Communist Attacks Singapore U.R) The show must go on, is the motto of the Malayan railway department. Communist terrorists have made more than 1,000 attacks on trains, permanent way and stations of the Malayan Rail way since the beginning of the emergency in June of 1948. More than 175 trains have been derailed. 145 fired upon and 18 members of the staff and 33 passengers killed. De spite the calamities the trains have continued to run to cope with the expanding trade with the outside world. The trains carry precious car goes of rubber and tin ingots from remote parts of the feder ation to Singapore and Penang, from where ocean-going ships carry them to the free world. Continuous Battle Maintenance of the traffic is part of a continuing battle by the authorities, since lengthy disruption of it would be a mi jor victory for the Communists Often derailments occur in thick jungle country or beneath dominating hills, which first have to be cleared by troops Machine guns and mortars are as much a part of the equipment of repair gangs as heavy cranes and jacks. To clear the line quickly, de railed locomatives are rolled down slopes and recovered later, piece by piece. That is rough treatment but railway engines are sturdy machines and all cas ualties are repaired in the comp any's workshop at Kuala Lump ur. ine railroad engineers are mostly Eurasian, many of them sons of Englishmen who drove the first trains in Malaya. Trains Armored They ride on armor-girded footplates equipped with radio transmitters in contact with po lice headquarters, troops or po lice traveling in armored cup olas or old armored cars carried on goods wagons at both ends of the train. None of the pre cautins, however, has proved ef fective against derailment. To protect night mail trains and goods trans, a patrol engine with two crash wagons to deton ate explosives leads the way. Mounted in front of the armored section are searchlights trained on the whitewashed track plates. Should a tampered rail be seen, there are powerful brakes de signed to stop the patrol train within the length of the beams of the searchlight.
