A Use for the Gates Wonder how long 'twill be before Some patriotic chap Suggests we tear the Dads’ gates down And turn them into scrap ? - J.W.S. War Heroes in Portland Complain of Inactivity “I haven’t seen action since I escaped German-held Holland," de clared Lt. Johannes Weltjer, of The Netherlands, in Portland Mon day. “All I’ve done is repair damaged warships and be bombed.” Lt. Weltjer and three other United Nations heroes, including Lt. Liudmila Pavlichencko, Russian woman sniper who has 309 dead Nazis to her credit, appeared in the city for breakfast, luncheon, and evening engagements, sponsored by United Students’ Service. “Bombing is one thing you never seem to get used to,” the smil ing Dutch lieutenant continued. "I originally lived near Rotterdam, was bombed there; later in London, and still later in the Dutch East Indies. “Five companions and I escaped Holland in a 15-foot dinghy. The Germans gave us a ‘farewell’ party, too. They heard our motors, turned on the searchlights, but luckily they thought we were a plane. Their beams criss-crossed high over our heads.” Lt. Weltjer, who speaks English with a British accent, admitted that he didn’t quite understand what it meant to be “in Dutch.” It didn’t clarify the question for him further when someone said it meant “in the doghouse.” “Pavlichencko (the Russian sniper) and I got along quite well,” he said. “She speaks only Russian, but she uses her native dialect and I use Dutch. With help of the sign language we get along quite well.” The Russian heroine was of strong build, short both in stature and hair, of plain features, but she wore lipstick. Her army skirt hung half way to the knees. She wore a Sam Browne belt and black Russian boots. Two Britishers, Sub-Lt. Richard Miles and Wing Commander Scott Malden, rounded out the quartet. Malden was winner of the British D.S.C. for his participation in the commando raid on Dieppe. Lt. Weltjer smoked cigarettes between courses of his noon lunch eon. Dark-haired, wearing heavy glasses, he displayed keen sense of humor, applauded alone when he found he would not have to speak at the lunch meeting. Asked about Japanese marksmanship he replied: “In one bomb ing, 26 Japanese planes dropped three bombs each simultaneously, a total of 78. They missed that time. Other times they came woefully close.” In cooperation with the Eu-* gene and national drive for scrap iron and more scrap iron, the University cf Oregon ha* scheduled its campaign for Sun day, October 18. A joint committee of student and faculty defense workers wi 1 meet Thursday night to malt'? more extensive plans for the. drive: One of the points to be de cided at this time is whether campus scrap will be piled ; -v designated corners and then ca - ried away as will be done in tin city drive or whether to put : l scrap in one central place. According to the defense con ■ cil the Eugene area campaign in divided into four divisions undo* the direction of Eugene service clubs. J. O. Lindstrom. UO busine.-ij manager, announced in a left- • to Chancelloi' Hunter that a r> - port on the amount of scran picked up on the University cam pus in past drives could not I r made yet; because the Kyli • foundry, which said it would buy all campus scrap, has been too busy and has not been able '•> pick up. all accumulations. TJ final clean-up drive was post poned, since many faculty mem bers had just recently returned to the campus and had been ton busy during the last two week > to have an additional job thru* , upon them, added Mr. Lindstrom. The possibility that student ! may make placards for the drive,* volunteer to pick up scrap, and aid the program of delivery ha i been suggested. Prime scrap which can be turned in is one-eighth or more inches thick, announced Waited Bridges, head of the city drive.
