Southern Pacific has placed 500 of them in service at cost of six million dollars. They will carry chips from Oregon and California mills to Insulation board and other manufacturing plants. New Freight Car In Use A by-product o( western forests has given birth to a brand new type of freight car. It's a car the likes of which grandfather nevpr saw. Its tall steel sides slope slightly inward at the top. It resembles a roofless, doorless boxcar. And it's tilled with a commodity that grandpa wouldn't even have Riven wagon room to: plain, ordinary weod chips. Southern Pacific Company, de signer of the new cars, has placed 5tifl of them in service at a cost RECRUITER DUE WAC recruiting representative Sfc. Anne Hawkins, is scheduled to be in Klamath Falls at the U.S. Army Recruiting office, 621 Main, on Monday, July 14, according to a recent report from the Main Station for Army recruiting in Portland. Girls interested in mil itary service with the Army are Invited to meet with Miss Hawk ins. She will discuss opportunities for training and experience avail able to young women who join the WACS. of six million dollars. They're mov ing chips from Oregon and Cali fornia mills to manufacturers along Southern Pacific lines. Wood chips these days go into such products as hardboard, chip board, paper and fihrebnard. Last year, SP moved over 35,onn carloads of chips from mills to factories, well over three times I he amount moved five years earl ier. The new Johns-Manville plant north of here has been built to convert large stands of lodgepnle pine, a scrawny tree with no pre vious commercial value, into chips which in turn will become insula tion building hoard. RC Offering Swim Course A 10-day course of Red Cross swimming lessons will he given free to children and adults in the Odell, Crescent, Gilchrist and Che mult area beginning Monday. July 11. uasses will he held at the Crescent Lake lodge beach, and wishing to enroll should be there at 9:30 a.m. Bring suits, tow els and caps. Beginning, interme diate and advanced swimming classes will he offered together with lifesaving for those qualified. Carol Causey, Red Cross water safety instructor, will conduct the classes with Mrs. Virginia Meiss- ner and Carol Lake of the Odell Lake area serving as volunteer lifeguards. Car pools are being formed in Chemult, Crescent and Gilchrist to enable children to ob tain transportation. The program is jointly sponsored by the Girl Scouts and the Red Cross. Mrs. May Myers, water safety chairman of the local Red Cross, urges that all residents of the area make every effort to avail them selves of the opportunity for swim ming instruction. Swimming is the most popular single sport in America today," Mrs. Myers said. but it is also a sport that takes a dreadful toll in lives every sum mer. Being safe in, on, or near the water is each person's individ ual responsibility. Saving lives starts with saving your own; com mon sense is the most important thing of all, and no one needs to drown.

'He was quite demandinc and now we think properly so oui some times it was a little rugged, he said. Chennault drives himself a s hard as ever drove anyone who worked lor him. In the early 193ns he captained the corp's acrobatic "Three Men on a Flying Trapeze" and partici pated in the perilous air races of that time. But by l!).Ki he was forced to retire, nearly deaf from flying in open planes. The jiext year he was in China. "Dad was developing some air tactics," Jack said. "He thought China might be the place to prove some of them." Originally there on an inspec tion trip, Chennault remained as adviser of Mme. Chiang, then head of the Chinese Aviation Com mission. In July, 1941, he formed the Fly ing Tigers and with sharks teeth painted on the front of their rick ety planes, this small band of American volunteers chased the Japanese from China's skies. China's' fight became Chennault's light. "He gave his heart, his person ality and his affection for my people," said 'Mme. Chiang. "I do not know of anyone who could take his place. "What impressed us most was Gen. Chennault's determination not to give up in the face of ob stacles." she said. "He was one of the few of the many friends of China who thought China had a chance." The general didn't only fight from the ground. "He's closed moulh about it," Jack said, "but we know he got shot up a few times himself." Jack served under his father when the general took over the 14th Air Force in China after the U.S. entered the war Chennault's battle for China did not end with V-.I Day. He retreat ed with the Nationalists when the Communists took over1 the main land. "He was .. little spitfire," said his daughter, Peggy, who was with the general during the Na tionalists' withdrawal. "He tried to give the impression that the Americans were still he hind the Chinese." she said. "He was just about the only one that really believed things would go all right." Chennault accompanied the Na tionalists to Formosa, where he makes his home with his second wife, the former Anna Chan, and their two children. He is chair- an of the board of Civil Air Transport, a privately owned air line operating out of Formosa. Chennault is in Ochsner Founda tion Hospital fighting the, biggest battle of his life.

Claire L. Chennault, the man who never gives up hope, will not admit defeat in his personal fight against cancer. I m going to fight this thing and I'm going to lick it." he told Madame Chiang kai-shek before he returned to the United Slates in February to undergo extensive treatment for lung cancer. Whether the former commander of the Flying Tigers wins this hatlle or not, he will always he rememhered as the man who never gave up in a fight. And 67-year-old Chennault has been in plenty from the Army Air Corp's battle for recognition of air power to the China cam paign against the Japanese and the communists. The ailing general Friday was surrounded by members of his family, reunited at his bed side. Later he was visited bv Mine. Chiang, who made a special trip here to see her long time friend. 'Dad was a crusader." one of the general's six sons, Col. Jack Chennault ot the U.S. Air Force, sain later. e was probably the mosl morally righteous man I've ever known. If dad believes in some thing he will fight for it without hesitation." Chennault, born in Commerce, Tex., Sept. 6, lfWO, is a rugged individualist and strict disciplinarian. He rejected his father's bid to make him a cotton farmer, be came a high school principal in Texas. When World War I broke out, Chennault was ready to fight Aiier a tour in the infantry, he accepted a commission in the young Army Air Corps and was solid supporter of Gen. Hi v Mitchell's drive to win recognition lor air power. At home he was a hard task master, said his daughter, Rose mary. "But I never knew a single man who ever worked for him that didn't love him." He used to take three or four of us out into the swamp squirrel hunting and fishing for a week at a time." Jack said. "And all we'd Girl Cuts Off Father's Arm PALMER LAKE. Colo.

(AP) Human populations could recover from the effects of heavy radioactive fallout from thermonuclear bombs but it might take 500 to 900 years, two University of Texas scientists said Friday. Dr. Wilson S. Stone -and Flor ence D. Wilson reached this con clusion from a study of fruit flies. The flies were exposed to direct radiation at Bikini. Ronegelap and Rongenk in the Marshall Islands and at Ponape Is the eastern Car oline Islands. All the islands are in, pr near, the U.S. government's Pacific proving ground area. The univer sity geneticists conducted their study under contract with the Atomic Energy commission. "Descendants of men who sur vive on the tringe ot tnermonu clear bomb target areas would have to evolve through 26 to 40 generations before evidence of se vere genetic damage to the hu man species is erased," Dr. Stone said. ' "Time span required for devel opment of 26 to 40 human gener ations would cover 500 to 900 years." The geneticists outlined their in vestigations in an article pub lished by the National Academy of Science. They said it was assumed that the radiation damage to man's reproductive system would paral lel the damaging effects that di rect radiation and radioactive fall out at Bikini had on the fruit fly's genetic system. "For example, if a thermonu clear blast such as the one at Bikini on March 1, 1954. had ex ploded during the Crusades be tween 1000'A.D. and 1209 A.D.. it would have taken until the present century for the genetic damage to be erased from, the human popula tion," the geneticists said. Dr. Stone said it was impossi ble to conduct genetics studies of radiation fallout damage on the human population on a worldwide scale. "Since we worked with animal populations existing near the ac tual bomb explosion site, our con clusions would apply only to sur vivors in an area of direct fallout from the thermonuclear bombs," he said. "Obviously, these conclu sions would not be the same from populations hundreds of miles away from the fringe of the blast and heavy fallout areas where genetic damage would be slight." Defense Leader Stops In Hawaii HONOLULU (API Defense Sec retary Neil McElroy arrived here last night via non-stop jet tanker, en route to American nuclear tests in the Eniwctok area. "This is the way to get trans ported," McElroy joked to Defense Adm. Felix B. Stump and othe high officers as he stepped from the big KC135 swept-wing Boeing aft er a record-setting flight Irom Washington, D.C., in 11 hours and eight minutes. It was the first Washington-1 Honolulu non-stop flight ever made. McElroy said he would spend the weekend conferring with Pa cific Commander in Chief Adm. Stump on Pacific area military problems and fly to Eniwetok on Monday, where he said "some (nuclear) shots are scheduled in the regular course." He expects to return here Friday and leai"e for Washington the following Sunday. Judge Reaffirms Old Principle CHICAGO (AP) A judge has reaffirmed the age-old legal prin ciple that a man's home is his castle particularly if the castle is home made. He ordered Francis Phillips, 35, readmitted to his eight room ranch home in suburban Evanston Friday, dissolving an order Phillips' estranged wife. Anne, 32. had obtained barring her husband from the house. Phillips, a contractor, did much of the carpentry work on his $50,000 home. "A man certainly shouldn't be barred from a house he built himself." Judge Charles S. Dough erty said. Phillips will find another tenant in the house svhen he returns. His mother-in-law moved in recently.
