marine pilot is a gradaate of
Oregon State college. His wue,
Mrs. Lillian W. Blaek Uvea at
LaJolla, Calif. In the letter of
commendation. Admiral Halsey
wBt that Cantata' Black had
consolidated many : independent!
f procurement- agencies . into one
- 'and arranged a constant flow
of supplies into the one central
7 agency. The commander f went
nto list other acts which Cap
tain Black had performed be
yond regular duty. In conclus
ion he said, "His 'conduct was in
keeping with the highest tradi-
Uona of the United States naval
..- service.' .
GERYAIS Mr. and Mrs. C W.
Cutsforth have received a letter
from their son, Rex, somewhere
in Australia, in which he -tells of
the customs there.
He says, "I am now cooking and
cutting meat for our company and
like it. I pinch hit at cooking
when one of the boys is on pass.
My work calls for lots of night
work artd I work by lantern light
as we haven't got our lights in
-yet. While cutting meat the other
night, the captain, who had Just
come from the horse races, stop
ped In to talk and I found out
that he is from Corvallis. His
name is Capt. Whiteside.
"We get lots of hind quarters of
beef. In fact that is about all we
have had so far. We have ' had
pork twice, once a hog and a half
and once a whole one. They weigh
around 120 to 130 pounds and
look old. Their bacon has part of
the shoulder on " it including the
front hock. Their hams are trim
med similar to ours. As luck
would have it we haven't had any
lamb so far, but the Aussies tell
- us that if we would get some that
had been fed on nitchel grass,
j there 'would be no strong flavor.
Their beef is better fed on 'that
grass. They do not put up hay
here but. graze all the year
around.':, .
"When on pass the other day
two of us had a meal that cost
only about 48 cents of our money.
We had hamburger and French
fries, coffee, milk, combination
salad, bread, butter, ice cream
and cake. Not that; much for one
but for two of us, :T rr
"We have seen several walla
bies, small kangaroo, around
here and one of the boys was
run over by one, was not hurt but
scared to death. We are also in
a snake country. We have one
kind which grows about six or
seven feet long and no one has
ever recovered from the bite of
one. It is the third most deadly
one In the world. The other day
one of the boys came dragging in
a lizzard five or. six feet long. He
has the skin tacked up in his hut.
v "Things are strictly rationed
herev-T hey get 114 coupons a
year for clothes, sheets, towels,
blankets " and most everything
made of cloth; 14 coupons for a
pair of shoes; two for a pair of
socks. Most people wear no stock
ings. They have no spices, only
r salt and cinnamon. Beer is . ra
tioned; 60 per cent for soldiers
and 40 per cent for civilians and
then the soldiers on pass come to
town and try to drink ud the 40
per cent left for the civilians. The
Aussies cannot buy - any of our
,-. cigarettes. .
"We haven't electricitr so nn
other boy and I ' have invest
our pounds in a kerosene iron tn
dolour clothes up for pass. It is
an Aladdin product,. We, also have
an Aladdin mantle lamn in Mir
kitchen. People1 here : call ; flash
lights torches.

- Extremely few cities in the Pa
cific coast dimout zones are, using
the full ' amount of street lighting
to which they are entitled under
existing dimout regulations, it
was reported at the - meeting of
Oregon, " Washington and British
Columbia civilian defense officials
last weekend in Olympia, Jerrold
Owen, Oregon civilian defense
coordinator, reported Tuesday. '
Owen suggested that city offi
cials consult with civilian defense
lighting consultants , to determine
whether K their , street ; lights are
carrying the maximum amount of
illumination authorized by the ar
my. 'J-' : :; 'l'i-
"The army feels, Owen, said.
"that it is .being blamed for acci
dents caused by inadequate light
ing, whereas , the blame actually
rests with , the cities themselves.
Two outstanding requests were
made by Oregon : civilian" defense
officials at the conference. f :
One sought clarification of the
latest ruling on brig h t outdoor
signs in the Portland and Willam
ette valley areas. The other was
the, elimination ;of Marion,' Polk,
Yamhill : and. Washington counties
from the dimout regulations. Until-the
.western .defense command
has acted on these, requests Owen
suggested that " bright outdoor
signs remain oars. - r . i ,
. Owen ' said the ; western com
mand officials ".apparently were
impressed, with the requests and
he predicted thStt. thp 'dimout re
quirements ; under previous ; pro
clamations would be relaxed,
Any clarification Or relaxation
order must come from the west
ern defense command with head
quarters in San Francisco.

Ray Ouster
PORTLAND, Oct lJPf- The
AFL International : Boilermakers
union lost another attempt to force
Tom Ray from the leadership of
the "pqwerful Portland local.
Circuit Judge Alfred P, Dobson
denied another request by . attor
neys for the international for an
injunction to oust Ray as business
agent and secretary as ordered by
J. A. Franklin, international pre
sident, October 11.
Dobson said, however, he might
accept a petition for an injunction
after a hearing tomorrow on a
request by a group of local mem
bers for a receiver for the "union.
This action was brought by men
who charged ther were "elected
officers of the local but refused
seats by Ray. - - -
They have accused Ray of hold
ing office illegally, .failing to call
regular meetings, and refusing to
issue financial -statements. ...

Britain From
lis
By JOHN F. CHESTER
LIVERPOOL, Oct. 25-(VFour-teen
war-shattered American sol
diers ' who had been prisoners in
Germany arrived at a friendly
shore today" aboard the British
hospital ship Atlantis and the first
question one of them asked upon
landing was, "how did my dodgers
make out?.v:' ; s - ;
The baseball fan was. Pie Her-"
bert Enrich,: Brooklyn, and even
word that his beloved bums had
finished a poor third In the nat
ional league did not ruffle his good
spirits. ':; ;-r 'r-l
: He said he had gone through the
entire Tunisian campaign safely
and then was wounded five times
and suffered a collapsed lung from
the bursting of a mortao shell at
Troina, Sicily. "
; The Americans, most of whom
had lost an arm, or a hand, or a
leg.were among 76 Allied soldiers
in. the group which came from
Goeteborg, Sweden, after an ex
change of prisoners with Germany.
i With the din of welcoming gun
salutes and whistle "blasts -'still
echoing on the Mersey side docks
they told from their stretchers and
crutches short snatches about their
injuries and about life in prison
camps. Most asserted that : they
had been well treated. ; ,t
i c Staff Sgt" August Tornow,-;28,
whose- parents live in Springfield,
Ore,': but who last worked as a
logger as ; Mossy back, Wash,: was
badly wounded in . the 'right hip
when, the fortress in which he was
tailgunner was shot .down at sea
after bombing Lorient, France, on
his fourth raid. '
But he received one of the hap
piest surprises of all the group
who returned. On landing he was
given . 25 pounds (about $100)
which he had left on his bed be
fore setting . out on the Lorient
raid.
Tornow said that getting Red
Cross parcels In prison camp "was
like - having. Christmas once a
week." At t Mossburg Americans
received a German weekly paper
printed. in English, he said. . The
title was "Okay" and, the princi
pal article was signed "Overseas

BP ORATION
Arjrvy -Censor,
coner
LOJIDON, Oct 5 -) Strin
gent American army censorship
trimmed large sections out of a
1000-word dispatch which an As
sociated Press staff member sent
to London from Liverpool , today
after talking "with the. first 14
American prisoners of war to be
released from Germany.
Army censorship's contention
was that nothing should be print
ed which the German might re
sent and which might imperil fu
ture negotiations for exchange of
prisoners. - ' ' ,-, "' ' - ; ;
The . instructions enforced by
army censors even eliminated ma
terial which previously had been
reported from interviews with
Americans In Sweden enroute
from Germany jto Britain.
, The censorship also deleted re
marks almost identical with those
appearing, in the boldest type on
the -front pages -of London news
papers - remarks made by Brit
ish prisoners who "docked yester
day coming from Germany under
the same conditions. - :
The - statements - which were
eliminated wholesale 1 concerned
the treatment of prisoners , both
inside - and outside : prison camps,
German morale under - allied, at
tacks, and the effect of allied air
raids. . ''- I
The American censorship, how
ever," was. more severe than" the
British, and the British people
consequently were told more about
their returning heroes than were
the'Amercans;:V : .
An order from Washington was
understood to have been the basis
of the censors' actions.
