♦IOSCOW. — Moscow's subway
builders, now tunneling the city s
fourth underground transport line,
are working on the bed of a sub-
terranean lake deep below the city's
surface.
Foreign correspondents, taken
on a tour of the partially-complet-
ed tunnels in the new line, saw the
Russian sandhogs, sheathed as was
their equipment in thick hubber,
chipping awpy at the rock and clay
in a deluge of water from the lake
whose bed they had pierced.
Five massive electric pumps
force 2,500 cubic meters of water
an hour out of the tunnels.
Some of the laborers on the new-
construction are women, taking
their place alongside the men.
One of the correspondent's
guides was good-looking, 33-year-
old Sofia Alexandra Kiyenya, one
of the project's assistant engineers.
She was graduated as a qualified
engineer at the age of 20 and has
been employed by the subway
building administration since it
was formed in 1933.
Deepest Station
Under the subterranean lake,
formed by waters from the Moscow
River, which also ip tunneled by
the new line, will be the deepest
subway station in the world, fa-
ganskaya will be one of 12 stations
on the line.
Moscow's three existing lines,
the first of which was completed
in 1935, cross the city's center,
linking it with fast transport to
the industrial and residential
suburbs.
The new line is circular, ringing
18 of Moscow's most populous and
busy districts. Within its area, ac-
cording to Abram Gregorievich
Hankiieevich, chief engineer of the
project, 2,000,000 Muskovites live
and work. The principal offices
stores and theaters are within this
ring.
Whereas Moscow's first subway,
on wheih Tankileevich worked as
a foreman, was constructed with
80 per cent manual labor, con-
struction of the new line Is 80 per
<yent mechanised. Huge "shields,"
in width and height the same di-
mensions as the future tunnel, cut
their way through earth and lay
the steel skeleton of the subway
behind them.
These massive machines, all
built in the Soviet Union, are
working toward each other at vari-
ous points round the ring. Work is
going on simultaneously at 30 dif-
ferent "faces."
Exit Trams
Completion of the new system is
planned for 1952. After that there
wilt be other systems, said Tanki-
leevich. "We won't stop until every
tram has been removed from the
streets of Moscow," he promised.
The Moscow subway system now
carries 1,800,000 passengers daily.
At the fixed rate of 40 kopeks a
trip, regardless of length or num-
ber of transfers, the subway ad-

PONCA CITY, Okla—Frederick
L. Hanks has decided that an obi
kitchen chair he inherited as a
family heirloom was made by Brig-
ham Young, one of the founders of
the Latter Day Saints (Mormon)
Church.
He promised to donate the chair
to a group of women church mem-
bers in Salt Lake City, Utah, who
asked that the chair be placed in
ministration plans to be self-
supporting.
Metrostroi, the organization that
operates them, has its own mines,
mills and factories to produce the
machinery and raw materials it
needs.
Its workers earn an average sat-
ary of 700 roubles a month, but
the underground workers average
2,000 roubles, with Stakhanovites
making up to 3,500 to 4,000 roubles
a month. The latter get heavy
workers' ration and an additional
kilogram of bread a day.

mon menentoe.
Checking the chair's history.
Hanks found that one of his great
grandfathers bought it in 1834 at
a cabinet maker's shop near Men-
don, N. Y.
Mormon church history indi-
cates that Brigham Young operat-
ed the shop as a young man and
that he made ehairs, tables and
Other furniture for farmers in

ASTRONOMERS KEPT BUSY
BY 1346 SKY SHOW
CHICAGO: — Astronomers were
kept busy looking "up yonder"'
through their telescopes last year.
The Encyclopedia Britannica re-
port* some rather important go-
ings-on up in the heavens.
Climaxing a year high-lighted
by four partial eclipses of the sun
and two total eclipses of the moon,
the largest sunspot group ever ob-
served appeared during I IMS.
Newton Lacy Pierce, associate
professor of astronomy at Prince-
ton University an author of an
article in Britannica's Book of the
Year, said one of the sunspots had
an area of 4,<MOJ)OMOO square
miles. That is more than 22%
times the surface area of the earth.
