(Travel Correspondence) This is written in the corner of an auto court cabin, with our feet held up out of water that came into the place in fTJ""m the night. ' S 14 uiae Vint CI we went to bed with all win dows and the door of the place wide open. A clap of thunder raw f wOKe us up aouui o a. m. j There followed a terrific aownpour iiihi eii water creeping over the floor through the open door before we realized what was happen ing. It was the kind ot rain that EPLEY fills the Main street underpays at Klamath. It continued for about an hour, accompanied by the loudest claps of rolling thunder we've heard since our Nebraska boy hood. It's still raining a little this morning. : A rain with that much vigor can't give up without continuing to sprinkle a while. WE came on to the prairie country from St. Paul yesterday, following highway US 12, the Yellowstone Trail. We stopped for the ' night at Mobridge (Missouri bridge) because i the map doesn't show much with promise in the way of towns for miles ahead. So far, we've been on good pavement. But ' the map says there is "improved" but not paved 1 road for about 140 miles ahead of us. The local weekly newspaper, which we read in a : restaurant, gives highway authorities the devil ' for the "deplorable condition" of US 12 west of here. The service station man says not to worry it's officially deplorable, but not really . bad. We'll let you know. a Where Does The West Begin? BILLINGS, Mont. (Travel Correspondence) Where does the west begin? Where is that "ridge where the west commences" to ward which the singer yearns in the ditty so popular a year or two ago, "Don't Fence Ms In"? Probably every homebound westerner reaches r a spot where, after a look from train "or car " window, he says to himself or a companion nostalgia in his voice something like: "This ' is it!" or "Back in God's country!" or "That's the west, all right!" For lack of anything more Important to do, . we weighed the issues carefully today to de termine just where the west began for us, personally, on this auto trip from New York to Klamath Falls. We began the day at Mobridge, South Dakota, certainly far out in the west to many people but not Quite, to us. Our west must have rimrock, and pine or juniper-studded ridges, sage brush ("rolling plains of artemisia with some pasture in the valleys," it says on an old map somewhere) flat-top buttes, a purple ridge in the distance that seems to break off at the end into nothing, aspen in the gulches and wild hay in the meadows. (You see, we're a little nuts about the high desert.) Coming west, you don't get all of these at once, but when you've seen several, and some of them together, you know you've reached it. We did today, just after crossing the Missouri river west of Mobridge and climbing the crinkly-faced ridge there. From there, one after another of our western features came into sight, and our studied conclusion was that the hills just west of the Missouri river, on this particular route, form the "ridge where the west commences." a . a a a IN the last installment of these chronicles, we promised a report on the condition of un paved portions of US 12 west of Mobridge. As graveled roads go, they probably are not bad, but we, like most other motorists, have come to expect paved roads on even the remote country sections of a transcontinental US high way. We're probably spoiled, but that's the situation. Furthermore, today the road had just been treated to a terrific downpour of rain. It was slick in spots; we did considerable careening and splashing, and cut our speed drastically. US 12 is the "Yellowstone Trail" crossing over northern South Dakota and swinging over into the southwestern tip of North Dakota before entering Montana east of Miles City. It has about 140 miles of unpaved road be tween Mobridge and the Montana line. A young man who sat by us in a restaurant , at Bowman, N. D., said that North Dakota politicos are uninterested in US 12 because it touches just a corner of that state. A lot of the unpaved road, however, is in South Dakota, whose politicians apparently aren't interested west of Mobridge. The road is an orphan in there, and evidently is treated like one. It was the worst road we've encountered on this two way transcontinental jaunt. a a a AT Bowman, an incident occurred that proved we were in the west. For the first time on this long trip, we forgot our gasoline credit card, leaving it at the station at the edge of Bowman. We drove into the town, and ate lunch at the hotel cafe. The service station operator, Gary Gunderson, discovered our card, got into his car, drove into the town, TUESDAY EVE, KFLW 1450 kc ff:vfl saien Concert 6:1ft Hem Town Newi :S5 World lS'ewi Bnmmiry :20 MorIc of Manhattan :43 Bell Bpewi.nl.

But in this field again the young man will find most colleges overflowing, with trailer camps and quonset huts disfiguring campuses like the University of Chicago, and shortages of teaching and housing facilities everywhere blocking his path. Now this young man, as I have met him upon three graduation campuses around the country, does not want more government help. He is already awakening from the delusions of the past. No government need kiss him, put him in government nightrobes and slip him to bed at night He knows he must make his own place in the world. No one can provide it for him. So what he wants is a chance. An opportunity providing him that chance, practically free of government mothering and muddling, has been developed since 1944 (only two years) in one of the nation's leading col leges. It should be copied by every school of higher education, every college and university in the land, and I can see it is adaptable even to high schools. a a a a Holy Cross System THIS is the Holy Cross system, operating in Worcester, Massachusetts, specifically in the form of its "Holy Cross placement bureau." About 300 returning servicemen have been led to their niche in life by this bureau in a com paratively small college In a comparatively small time think of it, 300, or about 30 per cent of Holy Cross men in the service. Be tween 25 and 50 of this year's graduating class of 134 roughly a third will receive positions through the placement office. The job is well done. It is worked largely through alumni clubs in 41 various cities of the country. Each of these clubs has a placement committee, made up of employers or people with contacts with employers. While I was there recently, a national tire and rubber com pany took three of this years graduating class, after sending a man to Worcester -to interview approximately 25 applicants in one day. A dozen of the largest concerns in the country whose names are familiar to you (but cannot be used by me solely because I did not obtain their authorization), take the best they can get for their purposes, of the unspecialized grad uating class each year. Holy Cross gets the jobs for its people. Indeed, business is happy to have this source of new employment, and small concerns get more than the large ones because of the opportunity for faster advance ment and experience which they offer. But to do this you must have a system. A lad may half-frivolously be led to a job for which he is not suited and will quit in a few weeks. To get around this, the central Holy Cross placement bureau keeps a full question naire record on both students and graduates who wish to file. It knows the experience and preferments of every man of them, his marks, " background and education, and what he wants. The questionnaires are worded along psychical lines, designed to produce a knowledge of tem perament and adaptability. So the central bureau knows what the man is suited for. The alumni committee and employers know the jobs. The system fits the two together. a , a a a Others Improperly Organized k IOW there are a few other colleges having ( placement of which work as well because they were not properly organized. I know half a dozen ' (but none for service men in colleges), which func tion from moderate to worse, because some old ' dodo of an alumnus has been put in charge as he needs a job or something. A placement bureau, like an individual, must find its place in life. No system is any better than its re sults, and I mean permanent results. I think the main secret of the Holy Cross system is that KADIO PROGRAMS JULY 23 KFJI 1240 kc. Gabriel lleatter MB8 Around Town Amer. Forum of Air MBS WEDNESDAY A. KFLW 1450 kc. :ir.

We hope they finish pav ing that road, that the traffic Increases many fold, and that Gary Gunderson gets a big share of it into his service station. a a a a OUT on the Dakota prairie, a man hailed us down and told us to take it easy over the next hill, they were moving a house on the road. Sure enough, way out in that remote region, we came upon a six-room two story house, being towed slowly up the road. The man who stopped us with a red flag had his car parked by the side of the road. It bore a California license. That leads to in teresting speculation, but it really didn't look like a California house. They weren't having any .trouble getting it under street car trolley lines when we saw It. a a a a People who make a lot of distance in a day shouldn't complain about the roads. We did come 450 miles today, right into Billings. A lot of hours went into that driving, and we were glad to find a good hotel room and a bath.

Bulging "V IvirHttH ii'lMS extra pay, he finds himself largely unable to take advantage of preferments offered by the government. He cannot buy an automobile or rent a house, as there are none, but the in creasing cost of living will soon devour his preferred status If he chooses to loaf.

The World Today Br D.WITT MacKENZIE AP Fsr.ign Affairs Analyst Madam Sun Yat-sen's blunt statement yesterday that China is heading for disaster not only is reminiscent of the fire and leadership of her late husband, revolutionary idol of his people, but is highly significant of the terrible straits in which her un happy country finds itself. It's rarely indeed that the noted widow of the Reverend Dr. Sun (she also is sister-in-law of Generalissimo Chiang Kai shek) talks for publication about the political affairs with which she has been familiar these many years. She maintains very close touch with public mutters, as I found when I visited her in her Chungking home in 1943, but she shuns publicity. It takes an emergency to make her talk and so when she does speak it is of double interest. Madame Sun made the start ling charge that reactionaries in Chiang's government party (the kuomintang) are striving to in cite war between the United States and Russia in the hope that in this way the government can' crush the Chinese commu nists. She declared that Ameri can reactionaries are abetting Chinese reactionaries. Wants Troops Evacuat.d She wants all American troops withdrawn from China, as their presence "is not strengthening peace and order among the Chinese people." She advocates that the United States stop sending war materials and other military assistance. With this preface Madame Sun urges the formation of a coalition government between the kuomintang and the com munists. She wants to see the application of the people's na tionalism as advocated by her husband. She says that by this it knows iU men thoroughly, and the 41 alumni clubs around the country merely furnish op portunity. They do this by coun seling, occupational testing and interviews with men of prac tical experience In the field. No wonder the youth is rest less. Nowadays, this feeling is given big social names. In my early time the same thing was merely called growing up. There Is nothing the matter with the younger generation which can not be attributed to unwise lead ership from my own existing generation. They were led to ad mire the wrong things, like gov ernment mothering which can never work because of the very political nature of Incompetence in government, and the human nature of the individual. It will not work for labor unions any more than for college graduates. It will not work for a govern ment employment service, which, in my community, is a halfbaked thing which few em ployers or employes use. The private ones are better. No wonder, furthermore, why Holy Cross was listed by the navv during the war s the most difficult Catholic ROTC college in disclDline and scholas tic requirement, second only to its own beloved Annapolis.

' It's an interesting coincidence that simultaneously the Moscow radio accused the United States of fostering civil war in China in order to assure economic und political dominance in the Far East. The broadcast declared that American influence now is exerted toward strengthening Chiang Kai-shek against Chi nese communist forces and that "thousands of American troops have been forced to go on fight ing an undeclared war on be half of a reactionary and re pressive regime." 'The Soviet republic." assert ed the radio, "is unanimously of the opinion it is high time to proceed to a practical realiza tion of all decisions of the Mos cow conference of foreign min isters on China as they contain a minimum of pre-rcquisltes necessary for the successful so lution of China's internal prob lems and the problems of en suring lasting peace in the Far East." Another Colncid.nc. But coincidence didn't stop there. John M, Hightower, As sociated Press diplomatic re porter in Washington, disclosed at the weekend that high Amer ican officials had been consider ing a shut-down on shipments of arms and munitions to the Chinese government in hope that this might assist in unify ing China. Report had it that large quantities of lend-lease weapsons had given the ex treme nationalists the idea that they could whip the reds quick ly and they wanted to have a go at it. The generalissimo him self was said to have come to this view. This would mean all-out civil war and the defeat of American policy for unification of China. Such a development also would create delicate problems affect ing Russo-American relations, and consequently the peace of the world. These three coincidental de velopments provide fertile ground for wide speculation. However, there are outstanding points on which there seems to be agreement in Important quarters in America, China and Russia. These points arc: (1) China is riding for disaster; (2) military supplies might encour age the nationalists to push the war against the Chinese com munists; (3) all-out civil war in China would endanger world peace. The corollary to all this, as Mme. Sun indicates, is that "this calamity must be stopped at its beginning. A Singer expert is best qualified to repair and adjust vour ma chine.

Charley said, and I quote "Oh, there's lots of marines sitting up at the Barracks. 1 imagine they'd be glad to stand a little guard duty." As on cx-marlne, Char ley, I can tell you that the ma rines would not be "glad" to stand a little guard duty.
