It is now undergoing intensive post-truce training. Private Roberts, a rifleman, en tered the Army in December 1953 and completed basic training at Fort Jackson, S. C. Algie V. Bell, chief boatswain's mate, USN, son of Mrs. Robert Willis of Smyrna, and husband of the former Miss Mary R. Hoey of Roslindale, Mass., is serving aboard the destroyer escort USS Hanna which made a name for herself in the Central Pacific through her rescue and errand of mercy work. The Hanna returned to the U. S. June 6th. While in the Western Pacific the Hanna conducted the high comedy of the ancient ceremonies performed on the crossing of the equator. When on patrol in the Marshall and Caroline islands the "shellbacks" initiated the "polly wogs" aboard into Neptune's king dom. The Hanna has a crew of 153 officers and men ? only 17 of which were shellbacks at the time the vessel crossed the equator. These shellbacks introduced the rest of the ship's company to Nep tunus Rex. The initiation featured such legendary maneuvers as trim ming of the hair of the pollywogs by the "royal barber" and a thor ough bath in salt water ? as admin istered by a shipboard fire hose. The ship steamed on to complete her mission in the Pacific Trust Territories. No sooner was the Hanna back in port when she was called to render assistance to a Britsh mer chant vessel bound for Australia. The vessel, Avonmoor, wad hove to and disabled in heavy seas 95 miles northwest of Guam. What was worse, her skipper had been in jured in a fall. The Hanna put to sea with a par tial crew and soon arrived along side the distressed vessel. A whale boat was put over the side from the destroyer escort and the Bri tish captain taken from his ship de spite the high seas. Rushing back to base, the Hanna delivered the British skipper to a waiting ambu lance which rushed him to a Navy hospital. The Hanna went back to her routine patrol work. Kodiak, Alaska (FHTNC) ?

American crews are directing Afghan workers completing the first phases of two huge projects to restore farms Ghcnghis Khan and his raiders destroyed. Nomads, roaming the desert for centuries have stumbled over ir rigation works where the Mongol warriors wiped out the old civil ization. Now two new lakes have appeared in the southern Afghan desert. One is behind the Arghan dab River dam. The other is formed by a 321-foot earth - fill dam on the Helmand River. Engi neers estimate the two dams will provide water to irrigate 750,000 acres, eventually. There arc scores of ruined towns in the area, deserted hun dreds of years ago when the wa ter was cut off. About 4,400 Afghan workers were taught their jobs by 135 Americans, 20 Filipino and 32 Ital ian specialists. It was eight years ago that the first earth moving ma chines roared into Kandahar. They frightened turbaned Afghans from their mud-walled houses. At first the nomads were awed, but they soon abandoned their camels to learn how to run the mechanical "monsters." Young men operated Cranes, steam shovels and the huge earth movers. They learned Amer ican slang and habit*. They used "okay" and their own coined 'no kay" in talk with Americans and with each other. At first they had trouble adapt ing loose turbans and wide-legged pantaloons to work around machin ery and trucks. Today, overall! are as common in Kandahar as in Keo kuk, Iowa. Evan the turbans have been abandoned reluctantly by many workers, giving way to caps. There has been a lull in oper ations while Afghan officials seek a loan of about 21 million dollars from the Import Export Bank. The work so far has c<tst 17 million dol lars. Responsibility for further development has been taken over by an Afghan agency. The United States has loaned technicians and specialists as advisors.
