'' MANILA, July 24 (AP)
Three U. 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,

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.

"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.

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

and cooked foods.
With the help of natives they

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

. 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.

Pennant Good As
Won by Beavers,
O'Doui Declares
BY PAUL WELLS
Associated Press Sports Writer
Portland's Beavers, who have
won 11 straight games and lead
the Pacific coast baseball league
by seven, might just as well fold
up the 1945 bunting and stow it
away as far as Mr. Francis J.j
O'Doul is concerned. 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.

"As many as received Him to

n America we are becoming
patriotic Americans. Men in
the nation's uniform may flash
into patriotism in some over

into patriotism by slow de

spiritual realm, the process of
becoming may be slow and

We have been given the right,
the power to become children
of God, but this power is given
only to those who believe in
