20.000 MARINES TO
REMAIN IN CHINA
A new statement of our policy in
China, issued by acting Secretary
of State, Dean Acheson, said that
the 20,000 Marines in China would
remain there. He stressed that
they were there only for guarding
supply lines from coal producing
areas to the great coastal cities,
an essential service that should be
continued.
The statement was made in view
of charges made by the Chinese
Communists and some Rightists,
that we were in China for no good
purpose and that we should get
out. It was also made as an ans
wer to demands by Communist
Leader Moa Tse-tung that the U. S.
get out of China. Mao Tse-tung
blamed the U. S. for the outbreak
and propagation of civil war in
China.
Mrs. Grady Johnson of Myrtle
Beach, was a weekend visitor in the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Guy V. Whit-
ener, where she visited her son,
Grady Johnson, who is a student at
Newberry college.

All veterans of World War II
found entitled to compensation for
the loss or loss of use df one or
both legs at or above the ankles un
der the laws administered by the
Veterans’ Administration and, are
therefore, eligible under Publ'e Law
663, 79th Congress to negotiate a
sales agreement for the purchase of
an automobile or other conveyance
must satisfactorily demonstrate
their ability to safely operate a
motor vehicle, says Mr. W. L.
Hardeman, Director, Motor Vehicle
Division, State Highway depart
ment.
Mr. Hardeman states that there
are numerous instances in which
the eligible veteran has been in
structed in driving tests by train
ed representatives of the Govern
ment and specially equipped ve
hicles during their period of hos
pitalization. In such an instance
where the veteran has demonstrat-
ed his ability to safely operate a
motor vehicle during his hospitali
zation period and has been certi
fied to the State Highway Depart
ment acdordingly an additional
driving demonstration will not be
required.' Another exception to
the rule will be found in those
cases where the veteran has been
examined by a representative of
the Department and approved for
license issuance since his disability
was incurred.
Any \ veteran qualifying under
either of the two cases as set
for h above should forward VA-
Form 4502 direct to the Motor Ve
hicle Division of the State High
way Department, being sure to call
attention to the number of their
current driver’s license and such
form will be approved and prompt
ly returned to the applicant.
' In all cases where the veteran
has not been actually examined by
a representative of the State
Highway department since disabil
ity was incurred and has failed to
take advantage of the free driving
instruction offered by the Federal
Government during hpspitalization
period and certified to the High
way department accordingly, jt will
be necessary that a personal ap
pearance be made before a special
representative of the Highway de
partment for re-examination.
The Highway depajrtmenit has
arranged for the convenience of
the veteran ;n demonstrating before
a specially trained representative
his ability to safely operate a
motor vehicle which will insure
approval of VA-Form 4502 foi
purchase of free conveyance. Mr
Hardeman points out that it will
be, of course, the responsibility of
the veteran to appear prepared
for examination in a vehicle equip
ped to compensate for his respec
tive disability.
T. C. Hutchinson of the State
Highway department will be in
Newberry on Saturday, November
2nd between the heurs of 9:00 a
m. and 1:00 p. m., and 2:00 and 5;00
o. m., at the county court house to
hold examinations for those dis
abled veterans desiring to be ex
amined.
NOTIFY VA PROMPTLY
CHANGE OF ADDRESS
Veterans receiving benefit checks
from the Veterans Administration
today were urged to notify V/
promptly of any change of addres-'
in order to receive their checks
promptly.
Edward B. Turner, manager of
the VA regional office at Fort
Jackson, pointed out that each
month thousands of checks are re
turned to the Treasury Department
by the post office because veterans
have moved without notifying VA
of their new address.
Leaving a forwarding address at
the old residence is not sufficient.
Turner pointed out. The VA itself
must be notified. Federal law re
quires the post office to deliver
checks to the address printed on
them, or else return them to the
Treasury Department, where they
are held until notified by VA of z
new address.
In South Carolina alone, a total
of 162 checks were returned to the
Treasury Department during Sep
tember because veterans had not
notified VA of a new address.

Man with a 32-track mind
He’s moved upstairs . . . this Southern
Railway yardmaster!
Yesterday he ran his legs off in all kinds
of weather trying to be all over his yard at
once. Today he sits in a glass-enclosed, air-
conditioned tower sixty feet above the ground
... acres of tracks spread out before him.
Through the magic of electronics he gives
orders and instructions to switching crews
and others throughout the yard... and the
men can report back to him over this two-way communi
cating system... thus speeding the “making up” into tiains
of as many as 5,000 freight cars a day.
Progress? You bet I
Always on the alert for new methods... never taking
anything for granted .. . we’re doing our best to provide
the kind of mass transportation service that is so vital to
the continued growth and prosperity of the South.
Whether it’s pioneering with the first Diesel freight
locomotive or building a tower for the “man with a 32-
track mind,” the Southern Railway is...and will continue
to be... a railway that is always looking for, and finding,
better ways to “Serve the South."
