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

chips.

Mrs. May Myers, water safety

the most popular single sport in
America today," Mrs. Myers said.

'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. He won't admit
defeat.

Gen. 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

individualist and strict disciplinarian.

AUSTIN. Tex. (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

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

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

It was the first Washington-1

McElroy said he would spend
the weekend conferring with Pa

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

Phillips, a contractor, did much

Phillips will find another tenant

Safer Driving
Aids Death Dip
Safer driving enabled Oregon
motor vehicle operators to mark
up the second lowest death rate
on record during May, Department
of Motor Vehicles' traffic safety
division figures disclosed recently.
The mileage death rate wan
computed at 3.66 persons killed
per 100 million miles of travel.
Twenty four persons met death
during the month which saw trav
el for the year reach a high of
656.537,339 miles.
Only twice previously in the last
22 years has the death rate for
any single month been belowr 4.0
deaths per 100 million miles of trav
el. The low was set in February,
1049, with 3.62 deaths. Deaths
were 3.72 per 100 million miles in
April, 1055.
The death rate is computed from
reports of gasoline and diesel fuel
sales.
