UP—They call Inchon the “toughest port in the world,” but observers prediet 1 that to a large extent the future prosperity of the republic of Korea swill be decided here. Experienced army officers and civilian foreign traders are convinced that if South Korea fa to attain prosperity it must be done through foreign trade. K “I have seen many ports in my time, but Inchon fa the toughest > in the world.” said Lt. Col. Bruce l Martin, executive officer for U. S.

The army licked the tides by repairing a Japanese - built bay which can accommodate up to six shallow-draft ships at ope time, and employing a vast fleeit of amphibious trucks, “ducks,” which shuttled cargo ashore from the ships, anchored in deep water. Dredges On Order Adding floating “spud” piers, the army was able to move 535,000 tons of cargo a month through the port. It is felt, however, such an

operation would 'prove too expensive for the South Koreans. On the brighter side, they point out that a giant, Japanese-built trial basin, capable of holding up to 13 ships, could be repaired economically and thus triple the present -capacity of Inchon harbor. “R would just take a lot of manpower to work on it—and the Koreans have no shortage of manpower,” said Martin.

Martin explained that - nadequate rail system running inland to Seoul was a critical bottleneck, and the Koreans have no immediate solution.

Make Rule Changes For Speedway Race • To Protect Drivel's From Fumes, Heat INDIANAPOLIS, UP — The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corp, moved today to protect 500-mile race drivers from fumes and heat which‘made many of them ill last May 30. President Wilbur Shaw announced eight rules changes for the 1954 Memorial Day race, including a regulation saying all car bodies must meet approval of the AAA technical committee with regard to providing adequate ventilation for drivers. Shaw said the rule was added because many drivers ,in the 1953 race were overcome when temperatures shot up to 90, requiring 17 of them to surrender their cars to relief drivers. Many new style bodies are built high and there often is not enough ventilation provided in their designs, Shaw said. This and other rule changes were announced in letters to 227 Potential entries in the 1954 race. The Speedway ended speculation that restrictions would be imposed on fuelj formulas. “There will be no restriction of any kind on the quality or quantity," Shaw said. "Thorough investigation has failed to reveal that the so-called nitro fuels are any more dangerous than other types used in the past.” Evidence of the slow’ increase ip speed was given by a rule change eliminating the 105-mile-per-hour speed test for rookie drivers and adding a 125-mile test. The entry fee' was doubled to SSOO, assuring an addition of $20,000 to the prize purse if the usual 8i)-or-so cars are entered. \ Diesel piston displacement maximum was cut from 402.68 to 335.57 cubic inches. "Slight” price Increases for race tickets also were announced, warehouse mortage bottleneckTy moving cargo inland immediately by truck, thus sidestepping the normal necessity for storage epace for incoming sea cargo. Observers warehouses, and a lot of them, must be built at Inchon to attract trade.

Both Brownie and Girl Scout leaders are “up in arms*' because the former kindergarten and first grade rooms at the Lincoln school are no longer available for the trodps to dance, play games, etc. The scouts want to get away from the regular school routine but it’s utterly impossible with stationary desks affording no work or play space.- How about will you let the cheerful Scouts and Brownies fpto your closed frond They could bring much happiness and usefulness into lonely lives. We can only make our community better by building better youth, and where is a better place to start than with the future mothers of America? Think it over, parents: the churches and schools will fail, too, if we parents neglect to do our duties. J.

In the home, the Child learns that others besides himself have rights which he must respect.
