FAY Associated Tress News Analyst The army is about 60 days ahead of its original schedule for getting troops and material out of Europe, but is racing to keep pace with the lightning-like developments of the Pacific War. Maj. Gen.

John M. Franklin of the army service forces said recently that the military timetable for the defeat of Japan has been CITY MISSED FLOOD 'BY INCHES' SYKES, ENGINEER, DECLARES Tucson "missed a flood by inches" Friday night and Saturday morning, Glenton G. Sykes, city engineer, reported yesterday after inspecting the watershed which drains through the city. The only factor which saved the city, he declared, was the fact that the watershed was dry and much of the rain which drenched the area soaked into the ground Instead of streaming through the city. Twelve rainfall gauges are maintained by Sykes on the water-shed, which lies In an area of 24 square miles southeast of the city.

Average rainfall as measured by these gauges, Sykes said, was two inches. The weather bureau at Davis-Monthan Army Air Field recorded 2.26 inches during the six and a half hour downpour. Sykes said that recent work done by the city on the arroyo culvert definiteiy helped carry away the run-off waters, but that other flood control work has not reached the stage at which it would be of much help as yet. He estimated probable run-off in the arroyo at between 1.000 and 1,500 second-feet, but said he had no definite report. moved forward as a result ot recent air, sea and ground successes and that top priority must be given to forces and supplies headed for the Pacific.

He did not specify how much the timetable had been moved forward. Although the movement out of Europe is progressing far faster than even the rosiest hopes of planners before V-E day, problems and bottlenecks are developing along the line and in the theater. Biggest Job The biggest job is the one farthest away, geopraphically the construction of bases to receive the redeployed force in the Pacific ocean area. Enemy destruction was extensive in the Philippines, one of the greatest potential staging bases for the attack on Japan. Utilities, buildings and transportation systems were wrecked, Manila harbor subjected to thorough demolition.

IP) Postwar tourists mav find it pos sible to take a leisurely boat trip up the Colorado river to the lower entrance of the Grand Canyon to visit an almost unknown tribe of Indians.

Riding on a man-made lake, they would view a part of the nationally famous gorge that now is seldom seen by white men. The development at the moment is the dream of tiep. juuruocK Ar7 rhairman of the house lr- it-e. juuiuuL-n. ucirci" v.

Hint 11 1 f1 Tt Bam Contemplated The reclamation bureau, as part of its plans for future development of the Colorado river basin, is contemplating a 750-foot-high dam on the Colorado river above Boulder Dam and below the southern entrance to the canyon. Such a dam, designed to impound waters of the Colorado, would Back up a lake for many miles. The dam would be at Bridge Canvon.

Murdock told a reporter he believes the topography of the canyon is such that the dam could be raised to 1,000 feet. The lake would stretch bak up the river to the mouth of Hava-supai Canvon, which in reality is a part of the Grand Canyon. Home of Havasupai On a shelf In this almost inaccessible spot live the some 150 members of the Havasupai tribe of Indains, who graze stock and raise crops on irrigated fields on the canyon floor. "Only a handful of white men ever have found their way into the rough canyon country where the Havasupais live," said Murdock. "The Indians themselves know but little of the outside world." Havasupai Canyon lies downstream about 100 miles, as the fish swims, from Bright Angel Trail, perhaps the best known spot in the region to tourists.

It is at Bright Angel Trail that a descent may be made into the gorge.

"Some of the most marvelous sights in the country are around Havasupai, but no one ever gets to see them," he said. The Arizonan admits that the National Park Service might object to the project.

The lake would be backed up for a short distance within the Grand Canyon National Park boundaries. However, he contends, it would in no way impair the scenic beauties of the country. War Agency Shakeup Urged by Committee WASHINGTON, July 29. The Rpnatp War Tnvpstieatin? com mittee called today for a shake-up of the war agencies to place them under direct, supervisory control of War Mobilization uirector jonn W. Snyder.

In an annual report to the senate, th committee said a wartime econ omy "requires closely knit central control." vet the Office of War Mobilization "has functioned mainly as an over-all policy body and referee rather than an operating agency." "As a result," it continued, "the operating agencies have continued thpir conflicts and disnutps al though most of these now eventu-i allv reach the Office of War Mobilization for settlement. The Office of War Mobilization Was not attempted to run war mobilization." The change proposed would make each agency head, such as War Production Board Chairman J. A. Krug, War Manpower Commissioner Paul V. McNutt and Defense Transportation Director J.

Monroe Johnson. a "direct subordinate," in the words of the committee, of the war mo-bilizer. Under the war powers act, President Truman could make the change by executive order. "The number of these subsidiaries should be reduced to a minimum," the committee declared. IT'S A PET PROJECT CHARLOTTE, N.

The average monthly tonnage going out of American ports (with a great part of it clearing for Pacific destinations) is reported at two and one-half times the average in 1943, when the supply movement for the European offensive had started. Rail Jam Bad The build-up of this tremendous tonnage for shipment across the Pacific is creating enormous problems within the United States, of which the current rail transport jam Is the most obvious manifesti- tation.

The redeployment planners tooK Into their consideration the use of gulf and east coast ports when the west coast ports had reached the limit of their facilities. The unexpected acceleration of the movement out of Europe, combined with teh stepped-up tempo of the Pacific war, apparently has brought the program toward this point at a time earlier than planned. The result of this has ben to load to capacity the facilities of the Panama canal, through which ships from east coast and gulf ports move. 4 The effort now is to get construction material and munitions to the Pacific theater. The mass movement of troops will come later.

General Franklin mentions November as the time for the peak troop movement across the country. And that seems to indicate that while the military timetable has been stepped up the scheduled arrival date of the United States infantryman in Japan still is well the future.

"There are problems human, economic and political that must me solved," Ford said, adding: Unhampered Industry "Employment hinges on the right of private industry to go forward unhampered.

There must be more and more industry; more and more competition for greater excellence in quality. These will bring more and more employment. "The events of the last six years have shaken us from our compla cent attitude. Production techniques and science have advanced tremendously. We now must translate this knowledge into practical things that can be used.

And we must not dawdle. Educated Labor "Labor should be educated so it may know and understand the problems of industry and the full benefits of cooperation. Industry wants to help in that education, given the chance. Many of the barriers between management and labor will dissolve when the chance is given. "During the war, many, people have learned, of necessity, the great importance that agriculture plays in their lives.

They know the value of the land and have come to respect it. Surely they will not neglect this opportunity. Gradually the farms, the schools and industry are becoming more closely linked. This goal must be achieved." COOLERS STILL AVAILABLE AI PRE-WAR PRICES Complete Stock of Parts to Build Your Own Cooler ARIZONA MAINTENANCE COMPANY 1920 Oracle ltd.
