WASHINGTON.—Gen. Joseph T.
McNarney said 26 large plants in

By Jews Or Palestine
WASHINGTON. — The committee
of inquiry on Palestine heard testi
mony that at least $ 45 , 000,000 in
American private capital has been
invested in Palestine and another
$ 110 , 000,000 has been sent as gifts
by American Jews.
These and further funds, said Rob

America, have produced a basis of
employment for large numbers of
new immigrants, including Europe's
non-repatriable Jews.
The committee has been asked by

Risks Her Life to
Save Blind Neighbor
BOSTON.—Risking her life to
aid a blind neighbor, Miss Veron
ica Spear crawled from her
smoke-filled apartment along a
fourth-floor ledge to her friend's
flat and led the blind woman back
to a fire ladder. They were res
cued by firemen.
The rescued woman was Mrs.
Annie Brown.
Jap Sub Goes Down,
Cheats U. S. Gunners
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF.—Navy
gunners were cheated by a Jap
anese submarine.
The undersea craft, captured near
the Japanese home islands, had
been taken on a tour of American
cities in war bond drives.
Recently it was towed out to sea
to be sunk by the gunners. Plowing
through heavy swells about 60 miles
offshore, the empty submersible was
struck by a wave, listed and went
to the bottom before a gun could be
trained upon it.
Helicopter Saves Two
Crewmen From Oil Barge
NEW HAVEN, CONN,
crewmen aboard an oil barge
aground on Penfield reef off the
Fairfield shoreline were rescued re

Bucking strong east winds, the
helicopter made two trips to the
stranded barge and employed a
winch and cable to rescue the two
men.

Speaking conservatively, major

predict that thé field ultimately will

J wide Spot in Road .
Before j ast SU mmer, when the oil
industry began sending in thousands
of men and huge quant ities of drill
hig equipment, the Rangely basin
was a quiet, sparsely settled region
where herds of fat cattle and sheep
grazed with wild deer on purple
sagebrush-covered mountainsides.
The town of Rangely was just a
wide spot in the road that meanders
across the basin, with a post officer
school, general store, and half a
dozen scattered dwellings.
A few weeks later heavy oil field
trucks had churned the main street
into a sea of mud. Frame business
buildings of every description sprang
up overnight.
J. W. Hays came to Rangely to
open a liquor store and "started do
ing a land-office business right
away."
The lumber used in the flooring of
his shop was green, and it kind of
shrunk, Hays said,
"I had linoleum it so

| I never saw anything like this be

High Rent on Prairie.
Out on a bald prairie far from
! town, the owner of a dilapidated one
j room log and mud cabin rented it
! to a desperate house-hunter—for $75
; a month.
At the junction where U. S. high
| way 40 turns onto the Rangely road
! an entirely new town—Artesia—
j blossomed like magic on a few acres
of sagebrush, boasting two theaters,
j stores, pool halls and the inevitable
I liquor dispensaries and beer em
j ponums.
On up highway 40 a couple of
! miles toward the Utah line lies
1 Wiley's resort, the property of Wi
ley Baucum, whose real bonanza is
an artesian water well, from which
flows the only pure drinking water
in this arid territory. Wiley's water
supplies the oil field and the town
of Rangely—for a price—and it's
generally understood that his water
well is more valuable than any oil
well around.
But Wiley isn't just standing wait
ing for the profits. He's building a
$75,000 night club which he says will
be the finest "between Denver and
the West coast."
The boom has echoed all the way
to Craig, an established town 110
miles southeast of the field which
had 2,000 satisfied souls before the
upheaval and now has about twice
that many. Craig is the nearest rail
road point to Rangely and the fun
nel through which flows all the
massive quantities of drilling equip
ment headed for the field.
Britain Still Owes U. S.
6 Billion From Last War
WASHINGTON, D. C. — Aside
from any new loans, Britain still
owes about $6,400,000,000 to the Unit
ed States on its World War I debt.
This figure was supplied by the treas
ury recently in reply to a reporter's
question.
The original loans, made both be
fore and after the 1918 armistice,
totalled only $4,277,000,000. Accumu
lating interest has brought the debt
to $6,400,000,000 despite the fact that
Britain paid more than $2,000,000,
000 before ceasing payments in 1933.
In fact, interest is still accumulat
ing and the debt rises every year.
