S. Seventh fleet filers reported missing and presumed dead have returned to a navy ad vanced airbase In the Philippines aXter surviving -six months in enemy-held Borneo. They are Lt. Robert J. Gruhnm, Rosemont, Pa., Reuben. L. Rob bins, aviation machinists mate, Omak, Wash., and James R. Shep herd, aviation machinists mate second class, San Diego, Calif. Five of the six other members of their liberator patrol bomber were captured and Killed Dy Jap anese. The sixth, seaman first class Alvin M. Harms, Holly, Colo., es caped earlier. While on a routine mission last Jan. 13, their big plane was at tacked by four enemy fighters and forced to land In a rice paddy near Brunei Bay. One man had been fatallv wounded in the aerial attack but nine survivors, unharmed In the crash landing, Jumped from the bomber as It sank in the mud. Japanese troops were known to be in the vicinity. For 13 days they walked into the hinterland. They were weak and hungry and all of them suf fered from malaria. Native Women Aid., "It looked for a time as if the mosquitoes would claim all of us," Graham said. "Robbins and Shep herd were flat on their backs for three weeks. "They were so weak at one time that native women kept them alive by chewing up rice and putting lt in their mouths. They didn't have enough strength to chow It." Japanese patrols drew close to the little band. For security, the party split Into three groups and lid in the jungle. Graham heard that two Army airmen were hiding out In an other village and alter a four-day walk In which he was trailed by Nipponese patrols ho succeeded in reaching them. The Army filers convinced Graham they tdood a better chance of escape if the groups got together, so the party of three turned back to the village where Graham's friends had set up camp. Five Slain By Nipponese. To their horror, they found that Japanese had caught five of the original parly and had cx ecu led them. They left the area as quickly as possible and walked deeper In to the jungle toward a village where natives had indicated there were five more while men. There they found a friendly Dutch of ficial who fed them solid meats and cooked foods. With the help of natives they built a crude airstrip by embed ding bamboo slabs in the mud.

Bodies of 2 Oregon Men Found in Burned Plane McCALL, Idaho, July 23. ( AP) Ihe bodies of two Ontario, Ore., men whoso airplane vanished nearly two months ago were orougiu Dy pacK train to nicutil today. They were found in the burned wreckage of Ihe plane at the base of a steep cliff about 30 miles south of Yellow Pine. The plane, piloted by Frank Van Pctten, Ontario lumberman, and with Charles P. Flegel as a passenger, took off at the Yellow Pine airport May 27. Weeks ot aerial and ground search brought no clues. Flegel, 58, was the son of Aus tin Flegel, Jr., president of Wil laetle Iron & Steel Co., Portland, Oregon. He was graduated from Oregon State college, and since graduation had been connected with the Eastern Oregon Land company at Prairie City and On tario. His widow and 14-year old . daughter live at Ontario. His son, William, is en route home from Germany. FEEDER LINE ti Charle. V. Stanton A diagram for lorrg-neralded invasion of small trade territories by commercial airways is contained in recom mendations of examiners to the Civil Aeronautics Board. Only seven per cent of the nation's municipalities, and 33 per cent of the population, are served by established air lines. The plan being drawn by the CAB would extend air travel to a very substantial part of the remaining 93 munici palities and-67 per cent of population, through a widespread feeder service. . The plan has been under consideration and in process of development for many months and has been prepared only after much study and calculation. Roseburg and Reedsport would be Douglas county centers under the program recommended. The area west of the Cas cades would be served by the Southwest Airways. Eastern Oregon would be served by the Empire Airlines, now operating in Idaho. Both would operate as feeders to United Airlines' transcontinental service. Incidentally, Klamath Falls is wailing most plaintively because of the examiner's recommendation that that munici pality be linked with other Western Oregon cities as a part of the feeder system, instead of. as an intermediate stop on the United Airlines' run from' Portland to San Francisco. Bend instead of Klamath Falls, has been designated for the intermediate station. While We can sympathize with the af front to Klamath Falls' pride and believe that the business which would be afforded in Klamath county would justify a stop by the major line, nevertheless, in view of Klamath Fall's recent attempt to steal Southern Oregon's inter regional highway designation, We can't repress a vengeful chuckle. Southwest Airways, the company selected from a dozen or more applicants to serve Western Oregon, has been plan ing its service most extensively. This company operated in California and neighboring states prior to the war and was expanding rapidly when hostilities came. It is backed by a number of wealthy, aviation-minded persons, including several motion picture stars. When war came, the company turned all of its facilities into the war effort. Four training schools, unique for picturesque construction, were devoted to training pilots for military flying. Its planes were used for transportation of military supplies, equipment and personnel. A report given us several months ago listed 400 trained and experienced' pilots, 1150 mechanics and radio operators and 450 flight accountants as a part of the Southwest Airways personnel. Doubtless this number has been considerably increased since those figures were furnished. Contingent upon securing the proposed feeder line franchise, Southwest Airways has designed a plane partic ularly for the type of work which it will bo called upon to perform. This plane is of twin-engine type, capable ' of operating on only one motor, designed to accommodate 10 or 12 passengers and carry a mail or express load of from 800 to 1,000 pounds. The planes are designed for cruising.speeds of 180 miles an hour, which, counting landings and take-offs, would give a consistant schedule based on 120 miles an hour less than two hours from Roseburg to Portland. The plan previously proposed was to inaugurate one scnectule eaun way daily and to add plane's and schedules as business de manded. The plane designed for the feeder line service would have high lift devices to assure low landing speeds; It would have tricycle landing gear, the latest braking features and special handling characteristics enabling it to operate safely in smaller-sized airports. There is every prospect that the entire nation will be blanketed with feeder line service in the postwar era, but the CAB is not permitting promiscuous operation by ir responsible companies. Rather it is endeavoring to set up a nation-wido airways system, served by responsible organ izations and all coordinated into a program that will ad vance commercial aviation on sound business lines. While wrestling with the CAB also has before it the port policy. U. S. Senator Ciiy Cordon i of senators on the commerce ; to sustain the CAB in its plan ; in which three or more lines international transport, rather as proposed in senate bills defeating. U.S. Assailed by Chinese Red Radio CHUNGKING, July 24 (AP) The Chinese communist radio at Yenan said today American policy toward China had become "definitely imperialistic" and would reduce this country to the status of a "colony or semi-colony of the United States." The Yenan broadcast said MaJ. Gen. Patrick J. Hurley, U. S. am bassador, had made misrepresen tations during a visit to Washing ton in April and subsequent ar ticles In American newspapers showed that America's uoltcv to ward China had become "definite ly Imperialistic." China, the broadcast said, must choose between this "false democ racy supported by the United States and real democracy spon sored by the Chinese communist party." The radio spokesman then ap pealed to the United States gov ernment and Army "to repudiate the new foreign policy sponsored by Hurley." He charged that the National government at Chungking "rep resents feudalism and facism," and sitiil future peace !u China depended, upon American support ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW. ROSEBURG, OREGON.

J The master-minder of the Sait Francisco Seals, who's seen them come and go on the coast for more than a decade, has conceded in the Dublic print there is no other club able to head Manager MarV Owen's crew. His prediction came on the eve of a Portland-Seattle series In which the runner-up Rainiers must at least break even to sty in the race. To O'Doul's way of thinking the Beavers will win seven straight. Seattle doesn t stand one-iwo- elght with Portland. I can't un derstand now tne rtainiers nave stayed in second place so long. If we'd had one more pitcher last week we'd have slaughtered them, the Seals' skipper said after a northwest road trip in which h Is team lost six out ol eight to the Beavers and took Its series witn seauie i-a. "Portland has a regular pitcher ready to go nine innings every night of the week. There's your answer. Those tossers wprk in turn, get their regular rest, and are fresh and willing every start. What can you do against a setup like that?" Statistics would appear ' to bear out O'Doul's soothsaying. In two previous series Portland has beaten Seattle 10 out of 15 games and Is riding the crest of a "hot streak. McCarthy Resigns As Yankees' Boss; Club Lags in Race1 By JACK HAND (Associated Press Sports Writer) Dark days have fallen upon the once mighty New York Yankees who today are exploring the Un familiar regions of the American league's second division without the guiding hand of Manager Joe McCarthy. Joe is off to Buffalo for a short rest period to reconsider a pro (erred rosgination that President t.arry MacPhail yesterday re fused to accept. Ill health prompted MeCarty to decide to step down in a surprise move hut he agreed to think it over while undergoing a thorough physical checkup by his physician. Upon Ihe result of that examina tion hinges the baseball future of the man who won eight pennants and six world series for the Bronx Bombers. While the Yankee stadium seethed with various rumors, the ball club itself continued ' to wander about in a daze, blowing a tough 11-lnnlng decision to Chicago, 1-0 to sink into the sec ond division. The White Sox took over third behind Detroit and Washington and the idle St. Louis Browns eased past the Yanks and Boston, tied fur fifth. The rebirth of Bobo Newsom of Philadelphia would be the top baseball news of the moment, if it weren't for the McCarthy af fair, for old Bobo helped himself to a fourth straight decision, 1-0, over Ihe pace-setting Detroit Tigers. Newsom hail lost 12 straight before he shut out St. Louis two weeks ago. Washington missed a chance to move within one and a half games of the top by dropping a 2-1 verdict to Cleveland, bowing to Klciman's five-hit pitching.

JULY 24. 1945 BORW THIRTY YEARS TOO SOON DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS "As many as received Him to them gave He power to be come the Sons of God." The word power might be changed to "right" What a challeng ing opportunity to become somebody. We are always be coming. The student becomes a scholar, the amateur an ex- ?ert, the theologue a preacher, n America we are becoming patriotic Americans. Men in the nation's uniform may flash into patriotism in some over maturing moment during a bombing raid or at the point of a bayonet. Others will grow into patriotism by slow de grees through everyday exper iences. Such as a rationed diet or giving up something dear to them. Likewise in the spiritual realm, the process of becoming may be slow and channeled through insignifi cant bits of religious service. We have been given the right, the power to become children of God, but this power is given only to those who believe in Jesus. Christ. Faith is the' wholesome atmosphere tin which the Spirit lives and moves and has its being. "And he that hath this hope in Him purifieth himself even as He is pure."
