...find old welts and busted places that have occured in the general course of my business when I have guessed wrong or moved too slow. A young boy called up from Oklahoma City-and wants to break in roughnecking and be an oil man. The boy is lucky as hell in not knowing that digging oil wells ain't exactly playing Ping Pong. I kind of admire that boy. It don't seem so long ago that I was riding freights and had wrinkles in my belly too. But they all came...

In honor of China's newest traitor, Wang Ching-wei, Chinese coolies call the fat-fried crullers they munch for breakfast yu cha-wei (i.e., "May Wei boil in oil in hell!"). Last week a new honor was bestowed on Traitor Wang. Chinese in Chungking started a chain letter respectfully dedicated to him. Each recipient of the letter was asked to kick back one dollar and pass copies of the letter on to eleven friends. Honorable destination of the kickbacks: "The Kill Wang...
