Curley Back As
Mayor Of Boston
✓ -
(Continued from Page One)
“Good old Uncle Jim” and “Wel
come back.”
Curley, dressed in a blue busi
ness suit, was accompanied by his
wife, his daughter Mary, and his
son George, who is city’s director
of public celebrations.
Waiting alone in the mayor’s of
fice was John B. Hynes, whom the
state legislature made ‘‘temporary
mayor” while Curley was in pri
son.
‘ Good morning Johnny, seo you
lriter,” said Curley as he entered.
H ,nes then dropped into the back
ground. When photographers
found him later and suggested he
pose with Curley, Hynes replia
“It’s all right with me, but ask the
mayor first.”
Hynes, who was paid the mayor
al salary at the rate of $20,000 i
year, now reverts back to his for
mer job as city clerk at $7,500 a
year. The emergency act passed
by the legislature when Cm ley
was jailed specified that it expired
with his return.
Contracts calling for expenditure
of more than $38,000,000 and the
city budget estimates were the
immediate city business befcie
him.
Cinnamon apple balls make a
garnish for baked ham that will

as many apple balls as desired.
Poach them gently in a hot syrup
made by melting cinnamon can
dies in a little water. Do only a
lew at a time and don’t overcook.

New Canal May
Link Two Seas
MOSCOW—Work on the Nevin
namyssk Canal in the Kuban—en
visioned as part of a possible link
ing of the Caspian and Black Seas
—is entering its final stages.
Besides playing an important
role in the lift of the north Cau
casus in general the canal will
hasten solution of a problem
which has long captured the im
agination of scientists.
By adding to it another canal on
the Kuban and one on the Terek
River as well as a number of large
reservoirs, scientists believe it will
be possible to lay out a workable
waterway from the Black to the
Caspian Sea.
Such a waterway from Europe
to Asia apparently existed in an
cient times as is evidenced by the
chain of bogs and lakes.
The Nevinnomyssk canal rounds
out a phase in reclamation of up
to 7,500,000 acres of arid steppes.1
the electrification of a consider
able territory and the develop
ment of shipping on a hitherto un
navigable waterway.
Water has always been hard to
get in this region. Most of the
ground water is saline and the
river Yegorlyk, which flows
through the area, dries up in sum
mer.
The Kuban is the only river in
the area that rises in the Cauca
sian Range and is fed by glaciers.
The level of the river never drops,
for the hotter the summer the fast
er the snow melts in the moun
tains.
The Kuban, however, does not!
flow through the Stavropol Terri
tory, which needs water for crops.
Before the war Soviet engineers
drew up a plan to make use of the j
Kuban waters by diverting them
into the Yegorlyk river and build
ing canals from the Yegorlyk far|
into the steppes.
The project called also for sev-1
eral large and about 40 small hy
droelectric power stations. The
first link in the system is the 53
kilometer Nevinnomyssk canal.
The canal amounts to a new
river with a projected capacity of
40,000,000 tons of water daily.
Rejects A
Raise In Pay
CANBERRA, (/P) — Australia’s
dour Labor Prime Minister Josenh
B. Chifley has refused a sizeable
increase in salary, because, he
said, “my needs are simple.”
He asked the Parliamentary La
bor Party to drop a proposal that
his salary should be raised to ap
proximately $16,200 a year, adding
the extra money “would only em
barrass me.”
The prime minister at present
j receives about $14,580 a year—the
I exact amount is not disclosed.
Pointing up his “simple needs,”
Chifley marked his 62nd birthday
a few days later with a typical
12-hour working day. He was up
j at 6 a.m., at the prime minister’s
I residence. The Lodge, and made
his own cup of tea.
He was first in line in the Par
liament House barbershop for a
hair-cut, was in his office at 8:45
and settled down to his mail.
One of the first letters Chifley
ay that day was formal advice
from the Australian Federated
Union of Locomotive Enginemen
that he had been made a life
member of the union in acknowl
edgment of “splendid services dur
ing many years of active associa
tion.”
Chifley was a locomotive en
gine-driver before he entered pol
itics.
GI No Joe College:
Questions Please Prof
LONCOLN, Neb. i/P) —Univer
sity of Nebraska professors say
they are “kept on their toes” these
days because veterans in their
classes ask questions more freely
than the average college student
and demand proof of statements
made by their instructors.
“They have injected a new
spirit into my classes by stimulat
ing lively discussions, and when
they want to know something they
ask intelligent questions which go
right to the core of the matter,”
said Prof. J. P. Senning of the po
litical science department.
