Eugenean Convicted
In Driving Cases
ALBANY, Ore., Jan. 29 (U.R)
Rogery Kinney of Eugene was
convicted In justice court late
yesterday on a charge of failing
to stop after an, accident, for
which he was fined $15, and
thereupon he was brought before
City Judge C. R. Ashton, who
convicted him on a drunken driv
ing charge to which he had plead
ed not guilty.
Kinney was fined $100 In city
court and suffered suspension of
his driver's license for a year. The
hit-and-run charge grew out of
an accident five miles south of
Albany on the Pacific highway,
reported by Willard E. Gillctt of
Halsey, whose car, the court
found, had been struck by Kin
ney's pick-up.

after their liberation. Not since
I'd heard Atlantans cheer for

had I heard cheers like Paris

down the way police joined
hands and held the surging
thousands who finally fell into
chanting "Vive DeGaulle! Vive
Churchill! DeGaulle forever!
Churchill forever!"
Both Deposed Now
Thinking back now. It seems
strange they have both been de
posed by mere politicians al
most unheard of at that time.
I next almost rubbed coat
tails with Churchill in parlia
ment by the Thames. I was sit
ting in a corridor awaiting an
opportunity to enter the House
of Commons. He walked di
rectly in front of where I was
sitting, broad, so very broad
and stoop-chested. His face was
deep in political thought as he
strode for a recess from the op
position who had been criticiz
ing what had been transpiring
in liberated Athens.
Within a few minutes, while
In waiting room conversation

MAJ. GEORGE GODFREY
right into those of the man who
had seen England through
"blood, sweat and tears" and
quite a bit of success. I was so
surprised to see him returning
so soon I switched my stare,
lest he feel trapped by the
curiosity of a hick.
Engagement With Stalin
The last time I encountered
Churchill he was in southern
France on his way from vaca
tioning in Hendaye to Bor
deaux. He was to fly from
France's No. 4 city to the Pots
dam to drink vodka with Joe
Stalin and hear Harry Truman
play the piano.
Maj. George Godfrey (ol
Eugene) and I were going north
from Biarritz to Paris in a com
. mand car. There had been a
rough wind storm from the Bay
of Biscay and a lime tree had
blown across the highway.
Churchill's car had stopped
while the barrier was being
cleared. I was resting in the
back seat, half lying down.
"Blondie! Wake up! It's
Churchill!"
I raised up no faster than if
for early morning toast with
out much butter.
"Yeah, it is," I returned, un
excitedly. "I just saw him the
other day." I felt as if he were
becoming commonplace, like
people who wait at the same
bus stop every morning.
Churchill Talking
We started to pull up be
tween the Englishman's car and '
the tree, as a way had been
cut.
"Would you mind waiting,
please, while my parly passes
through?"
It was Churchill talking in
that magnificent deep voice
which helped raise his people to
stoicism and eventual defeat of
the enemy.
What1 was there for Godfrey
to say but:
"Certainly not, sir!"
Godfrey grabbed his camera
and jumped to the ground, aim
ing it almost Garand-like at his
prize. One of the parly ran to
him with hands up in warning.
"No, no! Wait until he is
through drinking!"
Buttle Upturned
He had relumed to his car
and had a bottle upturned into
his familiar face, very familiar
indeed, I'd always heard, to
bottles as well as to men.
George waited, as impatiently
as the Luborites in London who
were counting the days until
they could count votes which
eventually upscated the hero.
Finally George fired.
I hate to admit for George,
while he is still with the GIs in
Germany, probably with print
el's ink from Stars and Stripes
all over, his hands this very
minute, that he failed to get his
picture. He forgot to pull out
the slide! .

Christian Science
"Truth"' was the subject of the
lesson-sermon in all Churches of
Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, Jan.
27. . . .
The Golden Text was, "The
Lord is good; his mercy is ever
lasting; and his truth endureth to
all generations." (ps. 100:5).
Among the citations which
comprised the lesson-sermon was
the, following from the Bible:
"And the Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among us, (and we be
held his glory, the glory as of the
only begotten of the Father,) full
of grace and truth. For the grace
and truth came by Jesus Christ."
(John 1:14, 17).

Message On Death

City police were unable to ful
fill a telephoned request Mon
day, because the unknown caller
furnished an address which does

1269 Charnelton, and refused to
give any further information, say
ing, "He will know."

Patterson Stoutly Defends Army
Demobilization Policy, Program
WASHINGTON (U.B Secre
tary of War Rdbert P. Patter
son, stoutly defending the
army's demobilization program,
said he hoped that some minor
overseas theaters could be
evacuated completely In the
next few months.
He also reported that American
forces in Italy could be moved
out by June 1 if a peace treaty
is signed by then.
Patterson returned last week
end from a world tour of army
bases. He emphasized that the
evacuations would not reduce
substantially the army's man
power requirements, now esti
mated at 1,500,000 by June 30.
He added, however, that a slow,
steady decrease could be expected
after that date as overseas com
mitments end.
Vigorous Defense
In a vigorous defense of de
mobilization policies, he reported
that 10.600,000 persons have serv
ed in the army since Pearl Har
bor; that total strength last. May
was 8,300,00 and that 7,750,000 of
the latter will have been re
turned to civilian life by June 30.
"I am willing to match that
record against any armed force
in the world," he said.
He disclosed that studies are
underway in India, Burma, the
middle east and north Africa
lookng toward evacuation in a
matter of months. If Italy, too, Is
evacuated, he said, combat air
force personnel based at Foggia
will remain because it primar
ily is intended to support the oc
cupation of Germany.
By June 30th
The June 30 estimate of 1,500,
000 men, he said, is based on the
closest calculations of army lead
ers. Less than 300.000 will be
assigned to Japan and some 300,
000 more will be needed in Ger
many Patterson gave this sched
ule for paring the size of over
seas forces:
Pacific forces under Gen. Doug
las MacArthur now total 875,000
and will be reduced to 375,000
by June 1. Philippine forces to
talled 280,000 on Jan. 1 and will
be cut to 79,000 by June 30.
Germany Gen. Joseph T. Mc-
Narney will cut his occupation
force from 622,000 on Jan. 1 to
307,000 on June 30.
China Now 9,000 and to be re
duced to 6,000.
Italy From 51,000 on Jan. 1
to 28,000 at the end of June if a
peace treaty is not signed by then.
Other Areas Strength in India
and Burma will be pared from
55,000 to 4,000 and in the Middle
East from 18,000 to 5,000 unless
plans are revised.
Patterson also reported that:
1. Negotiations are underway
for the assignment of British em
pire forces to Japan to serve
under MacArthur in the occupa
tion. He said he did not know
of any plans for Russian troops to
participate.
2. During the five months since
VJ-day, 2,700,000 Japanese troops
have been disarmed and demobil
ized. There still are 3,000,000
Jap soldiers overseas with only
500,000 still to be disarmed.
3. He plans to ask congress to
increase the pay of Filipino scouts
from 18 to 50 pesos ($25) a month
to encourage enlistments in the
U. S. army. The army hopes to
enlist 50,000 but had less than
200 recruits.
4. He personally favors retain
ing WACS for the regular army.
State Asked To Stay
In Flax Business
SALEM, Jan. 29 OP) Repre
sentatives of four flax coopera
tives today urged the state board
of control to stay in the flax
business, opposing the Willamette
Valley Flax Fibre association's re
cent effort to get the state out. of
the flax business.
Officials of the four coopera
tives f Ml. Angel, Springfield,
Canby and Molalla said the state
has helped- the flax growers to get
established, and that threatened
European competition will make
it necessary for the state to con
tinue its help. They said the state
flax plant also is needed because
the other plants cannot handle all
the crop.
