Salvation Army Is Aiding in Alaska One of the first broadcasts from Anchorage on Good Friday telling of the earthquake mentioned the Salvation Army was already at work giving emergency service. Brigadier Herbert Hill, in a letter to members of the Salvation Army service units in Indiana, stated: ‘ The following highlights will be of interest to you: “The Army established emergency housing and feeding stations. Over 6,000 are being fed daily. Clothing and blankets are being distributed, and housing is v “''ng found for displaced persons. “Capt. Lincoln Upton, a War II pilot and currently a licensed pilot, will contact by air those areas inacessible except by air. “Additional staff workers have been assigned to Alaska from the U. S. A. and Canada. The Salvation Army maintains desks in the offices of the state civil defense, the Anchorage civil defense and the city manager. “Approximately 800 ham radio operators are forwarding requests for information to two operators housed in our headquarters building. One hundred Boy Scout Tunners’ are active in Anchorage and 10 of these are assigned to the Salvation Army. “As an indication that ‘life must go on,’ the matron of our hospital in Anchorage reported in interesting incident. One of the expectant mothers, giving signs of being ready to deliver was walked’ between two adults (road conditions make automobile travel impossible), about two miles to our Alaska native service hospital where her child was delivered. “Again the Army slogan has been demonstrated: ‘Meeting the need at the time of need at the place of need.’ “We thought you would be interested in this report.”

Section Os Berlin Wall Moved Closer BERLIN (UPD—East German border guards. working under floodlights in the predawn darkness, today moved a section of the Berlin wall three yards closer to West Berlin. The new one-block section of the Communist anti - refugee wall was still four inches behind the actual border between East Berlin' and the American sector of West Berlin near the U.S. Army's Checkpoint Charlie crossing point. The construction crew ended its work early this morning on the 40-yard wall section. There was no immediate explanation for the change, which affected only a sidewalk bordering empty lots'"that had been cleared of World - War'll rubble Western observers expressed, concern, however, that demonstrations by • West Berliners might result if the construction damaged a tough wooden cross erected near the site where Peter Fechter, 17. an East Berliner. bled to death from Com- - ’ munist bullets after an unsuccessful attempt to climb over the wall in August, 1962. The cross is on the Western side of -the border within inches of the new wall line. West Berliners rioted for days following Fechter’s death and any Communist damage to the monument could set off new demonstrations.

Hoffa Monday were denied a request for a delay in Hoffa’s scheduled April 27 trial on multi-million dollar fraud charges. Judge Richard B. Austin rejected the attorneys’ challenge of the grand jury which indicted Hoffa and seven other men on charges of fraudulently obtaining S2O million in loans from a Teamsters pension fund . and diverting more than $1 mil_lion for their own use. Hoffa said he had not decided whether the release of suppressed testimony in his? jury tampering trial at Chattanooga. Tenn., would cause him to again ask for a delay. A witness at the Chattanooga trial testified that Hoffa was involved in a threat to assassinate Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy.

Decalur Aviatrix Aiding In Projecl Mrs. Josephine Richardson, well-known Adams county pilot, is one of the 99’s, Women Fliers of Indiana, who are raising money in a unique fashion, to help air-mark the cities of Indiana. Air-marking means painting water towers, or other prominent features, with large, bold letters spelling out the name of the city. This helps pilots, or drivers, know whether or not they are on the right trad. Decatur Jaycees Helping The Decatur Jaycees, as well as other Jaycees throughout the state, are helping in this novel approach to raise funds. The new idea is the penny-a-pound airlift. Commercially rat- , ed pilots offer their services' to ferry people around over their cities so that they can see what visual marking would mean. Money obtained at the penny-a-pound rate would be used to mark the city involved. The Indiana- 99’s are the first in the United States to take up such a project, presenting a real challenge to the pilots and their backers in other states. Helped at Muncie Recently Mrs. Richardson and four Muncie pilots ferried 400 passengers over that city, raising more than S3OO after expenses. More than the 400 taken for rides had to be turned away, and many waited a long time for a ride. Mrs. Richardson will fly to Indianapolis Weir Cook airport Friday to pick . up the controllers for an aerial survey in the northeast part of the state; the Friday survey will include the Decatur area. Sunday. Mrs. Richardson wile take part in the airlift at Richmond, and another airlift will be staged Sunday at Bloomington. Only pilots with commercial licenses, to carry paying passengers, can help in the airlift, and it is only done in good flying weather, she added. Vincennes High Is Put On Probation INDIANAPOLIS (UPD - The IHSAA today announced that Vincennes High School has been placed on probation until next Jan. 1 for holding a Sunday baseball practice. IHSAA Commisisoner Phil Eskew also warned Vincennes school officials that any further irregularities could lead to the school’s suspension. He said he reminded William B.

Tokyo Is Biggest City In The World

(EDITOR’S NOTE* What makes a city great — other that its a1 a e alone? United Press International has asked this question of veteran correspondents in 15 of the major cities of the world.) Great Cities of the World (No. 2—Tokyo By EARNEST HOBERECHT United Press International TOKYO (UPD—Tokyo is the biggest city in the world. It is the noisiest. It may be the ugliest. With a population of almost 11 million. Tokyo is home to more people than inhabit the subcontinent of Australia. So chaotic is its traffic that at some major intersections big yellow flags are stacked < in boxes for pedestrians. They make their way across the streets with banners held high in sign of surrender to Taxi drivers—most of whom are reputed to be old kamikaze pilots. Tokyo is not only a city, or a way of life. It is a game. Few streets have names. House numbers are of little help because they signify the order in which they were built, not their position. No. 1 may be followed by No. 12 which is next to No. 4. Tokyo hag. trains that travel 100 m.p.h. It is a city of driving businessmen with branch offices in every principal city of the world. Right now it is preparing for the October Olympic Games and a pace which might ordinarily be called frantic has escalated to hysteric. Had you seen Tokyo with your own eyes — as I did — in August of 1945, you would not have believed the , city could rise again. I had talked a Navy pilot into flying me ashore from an American aircraft carrier and landed in Japan two days ahead of the late Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Tokyo was a city of ashes. It had been 70 per cent destroyed by fire bombs. Millions Lose Homes Three million of the city’s then 5 million residents had lost their homes—77o,ooo houses in all. More than 100.000 were dead. Survivors, living in bomb shelters, listened dazedly to 1 broadcasts announcing the defeat of imperial Japan. They crawled out to see the enormity of the damage to their city. And therein lies the answer to why Tokyo is one of the great cities of the world. It lies in the resiliency of the Japanese people. Unfortunately, reconstruction was not properly supervised. While there were many wonderful plans for the “new Tokyo,” most of the rebuilding was done right on the old foundations. Hundreds of winding, tiny lanes survived. Modern office, buildings are nestled up against 300-year-old structures. Its great problem is growth. The population increases an average of 30,000 every month. A government commission has estimated that the population of Tokyo and its suburbs will total 28 million by 1975. X It is a drab city,, full of dull wood and not much paint. But it is,, a city of neon and, at night when the advertising signs come to life, it takes on a gay appearance. Even loyal Tokyoites admit their town looks a lot better at night when you can’t see it quite so well. Return After War Tokyo has a strange fascination for the visitor who takes

' Where do you get your rebozos?” “The same place I get my cement. ” Many years ago, rebozos, colorful hand-woven shawl?, were a major export of Mexico. Today, Mexican exporters are more apt to be offering cement. Like-other nations, Mexico became industrialized, and more technically accomplished. Now, Mexico exports more than 1000 manufactured articles, ranging from ball bearings to electric toasters. And the tradition of quality synonymous with rebozos is kept alive in today’s products. You can still get rebozos-the same place you get your cement. Knowledge of our modern neighbor is important today. Send for the free 16-page booklet, “Know Mex- 5 ico,” Box 1900, New York 19.

the time to get off the beaten path. At the end of World War 11, the old Japanese hands—many of whom did a lot of complaining in the pre-war years — were the first to return. There are about 9,000 foreigners living in Tokyo today, far more than in any other Asian city. When you, a Westerner, invite another foreigner to your house you either draw a map or you give him a map that has been printed especially for this purpose with the directions written in Japanese so he can show it to police and passersby for further guidance. Even with a map you are not sure to reach your destination. Tokyo grew without a plan. Actually, it is a series of little lanes and paths now trying to lanes and paths nowtrying to v handle the traffic of a giant metropolis, Consequently, the streets have no relation to the points of the compass. One street crosses itself three times. The traffic congestion is something to bei hold. Visitors invariably say they have heard about Tokyo’s . traffic but they are never prei pared for what they find. i The climate is no great attraction. There is almost no snow in the winter and the temperature sel do m drops [ below the freezing mark. In the ; summer the mercury gets up ; around 90 but the humidity — : winter and summer — practic- ; ally drips. A low of 32 seems ; much colder than freezing in Minneapolis and a high of 85 seems a lot hotter than Chicago. Food No Attraction • Most tourists would agree I that food is not one of the , things that makes Tokyo a , great city. First of all, you have to eat ’ it sitting cross-legged on the ’ floor with your shoes off. Foreigners have difficulty getting down on the floor gracefully—and even greater difficulty getting up. / ; The food consists mainly of 1 soups and seafood. Much of the 1 fish is raw and this includes • squid and octuopus. You must—- • well, you should — eat with 1 chopsticks. Foreigners usually ■ find. it hard to pick up food ' with the two wooden sticks the ’ first time they use them. However, it doesn’t take long to get 1 the knack. What, then, is the great at- ■ traction of Tokyou What makes • Tokyo a great city? It certainly is not beautiful. It is over1 crowded. There are too many people, too many cars, too ; much of everything. Everyone complains about Tokyo, even ■ those who were born here and have lived here all -their lives. ’ What is it? Why, it is the people of Tokyo. * Flower Holders 1 Old sponges can be used as is, ’ or cut into small pieces, for E anchoring the stems of cut flow--1 ers in their containers. Simply stick the stems into the sponges 1 in the bottom of your vase or : other container, and your flower '■ arrangements will be held in ! place. i !
