liberated at Niigata prison camp in Japan, are pictured in the
above group, photographed a few minutes after the arrival of
American forces. Second from left row is Eugene Hargis, Rose
burg, while third from left in first row is Zane Becker, Riddle.
George McPherron, Azalea, is second from left in row of standing
men. The picture was brought home by Becker, who arrived in
Riddle Wednesday. Stuffed with ice cream, soda pop and other
American delicacies he had been denied since capture on Wake
islan, Becker accidentally discovered a quick way to get home.

hospital examination. He was promptly placed aboard a plane at
Yokohama and flown to a stateside hospital, while his companions
went to other posts to await shipment home later. Arriving in
San Francisco, Becker's ailment was diagnosed as indigestion and
he was sent home to recover with his feet under mother Grace

Low Beef Grades
Ration Free Oct. 1
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 UP)
The three lowest grades of beef
will be sold without ration points
on October 1, food officials said
today.
These grades, known as can
ner, cutter and utility, are used
principally in canned and pro
cessed meats, hamburger, saus
age and ooiling meat. They make
up about 20 per cent of the beef
supply.
Pork, lamb and three top
graaes of beef commercial, good
and choice will continue to re
qurlo ration points. The three
top grades of beef are the source
ot most steaks, roasts and other
popular table cuts.
The low grades of beef will re
main technically on the rationing
list, although their ration values
will be reduced to zero. This
makes it much simpler from an
administrative standpoint, offici
als explained, to restore them to
ration control should lt become
necessary.
There has been no indication
when the rationing of the other
meats may be terminated. Of
ficials have said that this will be
determined largely by overseas
