CHINA S LEDD
ROAD OPENED,
PAPER REPORTS
SEATTLE. Sept. 23
"Usability " of China's new life
line, the Ledo road, was ci,s
closed today by the Post-lntelli-
flnnrer.
The paper said the juncture of
the vital overland linK with ex
isting arteries in China first was
learned from a "visiting source
close to the Chinese embassy.
J.t was confirmed officially by
ine U. S. army engineers in
Washington I). C.
"Future usefulness of the
route as a source of eleventh
hour supplies to beleaguered
Chinese armies is contingent up
on eftorts to stave off mounting
Japanese pressure on the Vunan
feeder', roads," the paper point
ed out.
Joins Railway
Extending from the Ledo rail
head in eastern India, the road
passes through the jungles of
northern Burma and joins road
ways of China's Vunan province
at Trunghka, Biu.ua.
Describing the road as "an
amazing feat of construction,"
the paper continued:
"Scores of bridges, some of
concrete and steel, span innum
erable rivers and streams in the
hot sw.-mpland.
"Surfaced by gravel carried
in the head-baskets of Indian
women, the road is in part a two
lane highway, '- meandering in
places to elevations up to 4300
feet.
A Step Behind
"Built from scratch by road
crews, headed by woodcutters
and followed by bulldozers and
steamrollers, the road was al
ways only a step behind General
Stilwcll, whose knowledge of the
country was perforce based on
maps 21 years old.
"Even before completion, the
road served as a source of sup
ply to General Stilwell's forces
and 5-4 (Cub) planes of the army
air forces liaison squadron used
the roadway as landing strips for
evacuation of the wounded from
the China-Burma-India front."
. Built by army engineers un
der Brig. Gen. Lewis A. Pick, the
Ledo road, known as "Pick's
Pike," v-as begun in December,
1942, the paper said.
"United States postal authori
ties, without stipulating the de
li ery route, have announced
that parcel post, discontinued to
China since February 27, 1942,
is now roing accepted for deliv
ery to nine Chinese provinces,"
it added.
None of this parcel post has
left terminal stations of U. S.
seaport cities, h-wever.
