Chicago Cleans Up After
Being Hit By Hardest
Rainstorm In a Century
CHICAGO, OP) — There was a
speedup in cleanup operation yes
terday from the city’s worst rain
storm of the century and the flood
crisis appearc-d diminishing.
No heavy rains were forecast
after a weekend of torrential
rains measuring nearly 7 inches.
But many of the city’s business
and industrial activities were
curtailed from the damage and
disruption caused by the deluge.
Damage from the floods, which
drove thousands from their homes
in the city and suburbs and in
convenienced hundreds of thou
sands, was estimated at 15 million
dollars.
An estimated 100,030 persons
were made idle Monday as a re
sult of the flood.' Power plants
which were knocked out virtually
halted operations at nearly a
score of big industrial plants.
Although Chicago’s flood ap
peared easing, critical flood dan
ger continued in nearby northern
Indiana communities.
National Guardsmen were
moved into the flood-stricken area
a after a state of emergency was
I declared.

The Moscow announcement of
a new agreement with Red China
is an event- of great significance.
Among other things, it hints at
the existence of strains in Mos
i cow-Peiping relations and efforts
| to ease them.
Since the Russians are notor
iously unwilling to get out of any
place once they have a foot in
the door, the announcement that
they are leaving Port Arthur by
next June can only -be viewed
with suspicion. Perhaps the Red
Chinese politely insisted on the
departure.
But there was compensation for
this, from the Soviet viewpoint.
The communique announced that
a railway will be constructed
from Alma Ata, capital of Soviet
Kazakhstan near the China front
ier, through remote Sinkiang and
Ulan Bator, the capital of Outer
Mongolia.
Both Sinkiang and Mongolia
appear to have figured largely in
strains between Moscow and Pei
ping. It seems highly significant
that Chinese Premier Chou En
Lai, on his way home from the
Geneva Conference, chose to stop
off at Ulan Bator.
Outer Mongolia once was Chi
nese territory. Russians infiltrated
for many years under both czars
and commissars. The Soviets
caused it to secede from Chinese
rule. First Nationalist and then
Red China were forced to recog
nize the permanent separation of
Outer Mongolia from China. But
the Chinese never lost interest in
the area, now designated a “peo
ple’s republic” by the Russians.
It is also likely the Chinese are
not very happy about gradual
Soviet domination in China’s Sin
kiang province, which the Rus
sians have been draining econ
omically for some time. It is a
rich area, twice the size of Texas,
with many natural resources, in
cluding uranium.
Alaska Salmon Pack
Totaled 3,101,923 Cases,
200,000 Above 1953 Pack
SEATTLE, UP) — Alaska’s 1954
salmon pack totaled only 3,101,
923 48-pound cases, the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service reported
Monday on its annual salmon
pack report of the year.
This year’s pack is more than
200,000 cases above 1953 but still
far below records of previous
postwar years.
Dollar value probably is less
than 1953’s. More than a million
cases of chum salmon helped
boost the 1954 total, but fisher
men landed few of the valuable
red sockeye, which brings highest
prices in the Alaska industry.
U.S. statistics show a pack of
$754,081 cases of reds, 1,007,829
of chum, 1,145,436 of pink, 162,
709 of coho and 51,868 of king sal
man for Alaska canneries through
October 1.

Competition...
leads to the world's
best service
The world's first service station was opened
by Standard Oil Company of California in
Seattle, Washington, in 1907, two years after
cars came to the Pacific Coast. Pioneer motor
ists, tired of wrestling 5-gallon cans to fill their
tanks, flocked to this convenient gasoline sta
tion. Other suppliers saw the point... service
stations soon sprang up all over and the com
petition to serve you better began.
Look how it is today! Here are just a few
of the services you now find at Independent
Chevron Stations and Standard Stations.
We originated many of them in competing
with hundreds of other companies for your
business. This competition that has brought
you more convenient motoring has grown
with the West. Since 1907, we’ve seen the
total number of Western gas stations grow
from our lone Seattle pioneer to 26,000 to
day. For us it has meant working harder to
merit your business ... investing $275 mil
lion in 1954 alone to find new oil and im
prove our refinery output... spending more
than $35 million in the last 5 years for re
search and technical services to bring better
products to motorists, industry and farms.
Since this is Oil Progress Week, we’d like
to remind you that this competition which
sparks oil progress brings you more miles
per-gallon of gas, lubricants that lengthen
your car’s life—and the world’s best service.
