During the same period the

its loans.
Production and subsistence, or
operating loans are made only

Koning explained. None is per
mitted to part-time farmers if
they intend to continue their
farming operations on that basis.

Dairy Cows Said
Least Since 1928
Washington JU.R) The Ag
riculture Department has re
ported 21,581,000 head of dairy
cattle on American farms on
June 1. This is the smallest
number since June, 1928, and is
one per cent below a year ago.
The Bureau of Agricultural
Economics said its June 1 sur
vey indicates continuation of a
seven-vear downward trend in
the milk cow population.
But it said the decline in the
last four years has averaged
only about one per cent annually
compared with a more than three
ner cent annual decline from
June, 1944, through June, 1948.
The number of cows on farms
fell from a record of 25.636,000
in 1944 to 22,320,000 in 1948.

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.
