Leaving Pingchuan early today, I finally arrived, with a Japanese army motor truck column, in the capital of Jehol at noon. The cars passed through the outskirts of the city, crossing the Jehol river, where they were welcomed by a crowd of inhabitants waving Japanese and Manchoukuo flags. Going through the palace wall gate and several smaller gates inside, we drew up in front of the inner gate leading to the section of the Manchu Emperors’ palace, which had been occupied by Governor Tang Yu-lin, his wives and staff. Japanese Enter City Major-General Kawahara, commanding the Japanese leading column, had established his headquarters here. The road Irom Pingchuan climbs steadily, over stony roads and mountain passes, until it suddenly reaches the summit of a pass from where it makes a long, breath-tak-ing descent into the little plain on either side of the Jehol river in which Jehol City is situated. Prom this descent, which is exceedingly steep, there is one of the finest views I ever have seen. Beyond the Jehol valley, there stretched away range after range of blue, snow-capped mountains. This afternoon, Lieutenant-Gen-eral Nishi, with his stall of the Eighth division, entered the city, and took up his quarters in the old palace. Populace Is Unafraid Then he, with his staff, went to the outer wall gate and received the greetings of citizens, schoolboys and girls. The boys were in western clothes, but the girls wore a costume that seemed to be a mixture of western and Chinese dress. With the committee I previously had found Father Oscar Conard, Belgian priest, with whom I had made arangements to lodge. Tlie streets of the city were full of people until nightfall, quite animated over the events of the past few days. But they seemed to be quite without fear, and shops were open.

Indiana's forest regiments are in the front lines in Clark and Mangan counties This is the second of a series on the functions of the reforestation army. BY ARCH STEINEL Times Staff Writer COUNTY FOREST, Ind., May 23. —Shovels glint in the sun. Picks and axes ring. Brown tents in a square of cleared land expel heat at the hand's touch. A breeze from the surrounding knobs gives off a whiff of pine cones. Youths in blue work dungarees with brown hats, and vice versa, bend to labor. Sweat brings need for a wind-shield wiper for brows. Mulligan stew comes from a cook-tent. The backs raise to its call. Smiles garnish and the backs bend again. Company 514, of Indiana’s Civilian Conservation Corps, is bedding down in the place it'll call home for the next six months of work in the rehabilitation of Hoosier wooded areas. It’s a place—this Clark county state preserve—where 200 Marion county youths are hearing the call of the bob-white and the shrill notes of the bluejay instead of the raucous whistle of Indianapolis traffic cops. Here life is cool. The bustle, sweltering beat of the Camp Knox sun is forgotten in the shade of an oak tree. Here men are hardening muscle, bringing peace to minds, with only the skies and trees that topple over each other to see. tt tt tt HERE the rattler and the copperhead may give them combat. Poison ivy warns from underbrush. And in the trees are hornet's nests to be found as a prize for the one who can “shinny" the best. And here, if they do have to haul their water from Jefferson--ville, twenty-five miles away, daily

by truck they think it’s a lark and all volunteer for the job. “Hay-foot, straw-foot, belly full of beans,” and here they come over a winding red-clay road from the railroad station into their camp. Camp Knox, the lineup for last inspection, with the dreary wait in the hot sun for trucks to take them to the rail station, is over. Adventure lies aneaa with the signs on the road warning them to kill “rattlers.” “I’ll get a couple of rattles for my baby sister,” shouts one embryo forester over his shoulder to comrades trooping behind. Home has been far away in Kentucky. But now the thoughts become exuberant instead of pining. This is home. * a a AN advanced party, headed by Captain A. E. Armstrong of Indianapolis, has wood for the cook, space staked off for tents, and red hose from the water truck ready to douse dusty throats. A brown little village, encased by green tree trops, rises out of a stubble field. Center poles raise with the rapidity of circus day out at old Washington park. These woods soldiers are learning how to tie sailor’s knots, and drive stakes with a few swings of the maul. Army cots unfold under canvas. Duffle-bags are opened and out comes safety razors. The front cover of a magazine bathing girl in a swan-dive hangs near steel army mirrors. Mess call sounds. Clanging mess kits acclaim the hunger from the hike from the train to the forest reserve. Roll is called, “Jones!” “Here!’ in a variety of tones of bassos, tenors, and some unplaced squeaky voices that betray their age. “And he said he was 18,” jeers a buddie. tt u ROLL-CALL ends. Three weeks of training and now encamped in the forest, Company 514 proudly shouts its record of “only one desertion.” “Two others were given discharges, but only on.; fellow went over the hill,” says Captain Armstrong. Nor has the captain been bothered by radicals, as have officers of companies from Ohio. One was “shooed” from an Ohio company shortly before the Hoosiers trekked home. Four others were given dishonorable discharges from companies of other states. You ask Marion county’s foresters about “reds” and you get the retort. “Lead us to them.” They believe each man has the inalienable right to "squawk" over his cabbage dinner or that, first bum issue of shoes he got at Camp Knox, but when that man starts trying to enlist his own army in cabbage revolt or shoe rebellion then it's a night-shirt brigade at “taps” for him. As one Ft. Knox military police-

man put it, “There are too many of them to argue with—so I let’s them go on where they’re going.” And that’s what a Stalin follower would find in Company 514, “Too many to argue with.” U tt tt ' 1 a HE bad batch oi shoes Marion’s youths received has gone back to the cobbler. But are they satisfied? They are not! Did you ever see a satisfied soldier? You did not—if you were in A. E. F. What members of Company 514 have set their hearts on most, and it's the thing they need least, is nice dress clothes. They'd like to doll up on weekend leaves. They're tired of fatigue garb, the floppy hats as shapeless as a circus fatso, the baggy trousers that won’t stay pressed. Pride in their own corps, the work they’re doing, is given as the reason for this mental and sartorial change. “Men who never had a good shirt to their name now pine for snappy army garb,” asserts Captain Armstrong. tt tt THERE’S still a little of spring left and their fancy turns, as does that of North Meridian boulevardiers, to trim ankles, balloon sleeves and roughed lips. From that standpoint their camp is a disappointment, for Henryville, one mile away, couldn’t muster up a good bridge game between the- permanent waves and the hair curlers. They hanker for the bright lights. The “hanker” is calleo a good sign. “They’re toughened up,” said an army sergeant, “and feeling their oats. These forests will take it

STATE MURALS ARRIVED FAIR Great Size and Weight of Benton’s Art Work Adds to Moving Task. BY MRS. MAURICE MURPHY Times Staff Writer CHICAGO, May 23.—Great difficulty was experienced in transporting Thomas H. Benton's murals to their destination at the Century of Progress exposition here. Because of the tremendous size and weight of the canvases, which portray the history of Indiana, bridges had to be tested and measured all along the way. Another major problem which confronted those in charge of the moving was that of obtaining passes for the huge trucks through Chicago parks and boulevards. Maurice Starkey of Indianapolis accompanied the murals to Chicago, where they were received by Thomas Hibben, architect, of Indianapolis and New York, who has had the extremely difficult task of designing the Indiana hall in the Court of States group, in order to house the ] exhibits effectively', and by H. K. j Roberts of Marshall, Ind., assisting Hibben in directing installation of the murals. Robert Kingery, regional plan commissioner, of Chicago, arranged for a police escort through the parks and boulevards, where traffic was of necessity temporarily halted.
