announced today.
Patch formerly commanded
the U. S. army troops who mov

Sfassen to Run
If Nominated
Washington, March 21 (Pi
Lieutenant Commander Harold
E. Stassen, former republican
governor of Minnesota, advised
Secretary of the Navy Knox to
day that he will not seek the
republican presidential nomina
tion but will accept it if offered.
Stassen disclosed his stand in
a letter addressed to Secretary
of the Navy Knox and read by
Knox to newsmen today.
The former governor, who
now is flag secretary on the
staff of Admiral William F. Hal
sey, Jr., commander of the
south Pacific forces, said that
numerous questions were being
asked of him "as lo my atti
tude toward the current inclu
sion of my name in the presi
dential nomination discussion."
Knox, reading the letter in full,
interpolated in the quotation a
comment that "this is Stasscn's
statement."
"I do not seek and will do
nothing personally to secure the
nomination. If, notwithstanding
this position I were to be nom
inated, I would consider it to
be my plain duly to accept and
would do so, requesting inactive
duty for a sufficient time to dis
cuss with the people the issues
and problems of the future.
"I wish to make it equally
clear that I will make no state
ment on political issues while
on active duty, that I do not
wish any publicity of my activ
ities in the navy to be used in a
political manner, and that no
one is authorized to make per
sonal commitments on my be
half. "I will continue lo carry out
to the best of my ability those
naval duties assigned to me."
Cordon Urges Aid

an allotment for these heroes,"
he said in a speech at Portland
American Legion post.
"It is not enough to provide
hospitalization for those who
need it. We must give back to
Ihem, as far as we are able, the
things that were taken from
them when they left their pri
vate lives to fight for their
country. We must provide the
mechanics and the opportunity
for them, whether it be in fur
ther education or immediate
employment," he said.

Peters Tells
About Escape
Seattle, March 21 tPi After
18 months of hunted living,
Chester M. Peters, 32, is back
in Seattle, one of the first in
stances of the escape of an
American civilian from the
Philippine islands since the Ja
panese invasion.
In a Post-Intelligencer inter
view, approved for publication
by the office of censorship, Pe
ters related -part of his exper
iences, starting with the loan
of a small boat by a friend
who was afraid to risk the ven
ture with him.
Hugging a harbor shoreline
to avoid mines, he reached a
still uninvaded island in 1942.
In three months, the Japanese
came and he took to the hills
with thousands of Filipinos.
"At the start the Japs were
offering a sack of rice for an
American. That was to show the
natives how little the Japs val
ued Americans. Later the ante
went up," he said.
"America should be very
careful not to alienate the
Headship of the Filipinos. The
Philippines are the only friend
ly spot in the far east," he ad
ded. After finally reaching Aus
tralia, the army arranged for
his transportation to the States
and the Fed Cross loaned him
money to come to Seattle to
see his mother, Mrs. Myra Pe
ters, of Bothell.

Salem Pilot in
Wewak Battle
By Ralph C. Teatsorth
Advanced Air Base, New
Ouinea. March 21 (U.R) Pilots
of American bombers, which
blasted a convoy attempting lo
hrine reinforcements to the Ja
panese base at Wewak, today
described the engagement as the
second battle of Bismarck sea
and probably the biggest loss of
enemy personnel at sea in the
southwest Pacific in tne last
year.
About 1500 Japanese troops
were estimated to have died in
the waters off the northern New
Guinea coast Saturday night and
Sunday, when U. S. Liberators,
Bnslnns and Mitchells sank two
fully-loaded transports and three
escorting vorvcttcs, and dam
aged a destroyer and other ships.
Several of the pilots said they
saw hundreds of Japanese
dniinrinrine in the wrccage that
littered the sea after the 150-
mile running battle from north
of Wewak to Hollandia.
More than 100 bombs partici
pated in the battle, coming in
at masthead height to skip-bomb
their loads and strafe the decks
of the enemy ships. Anti-aircraft
fire was intense at times,
but the American losses for the
entire battle were only two Bos
ton bombers.
First Lt. Henry Kortcmcyer,
Salem, Ore., leader of a flight
whirh helDed sink a corvette.
said he "could see Nips flying
into the' air from the explo
sions." His was the last unit to
leave the scene and he reported
no survivors or lifeboats.

tention that introduction of al
leged confessions signed by

rights. He repudiated the state-
ments nn the witneii itand.
Clark, 27, an ex-soldier, was
convicted for the hatchet slay
ing of Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Dillon
January 15 in the cramped

charged in an information with

subsequently died from injuries

Vichy Report
Denied as False
Washington, March 21 M
The slate department described
today as "false on their face"
reports from Algiers suggesting
that the United States might
deal with Vichy officials when
allied armies begin the libera
tion of France.
At the same time, it was
learned at the department that
the French committee of na
tional liberation which has its
headquarters at Algiers was in
formed officially in writing last
January that the United States
had no intention of having any
dealings or relations with the
Vichy regime, except for the
purpose of abolishing it.
The committee was further
informed, and today's statement
here reaffirmed the point, that
the United States would not
deal with any individual in
France known lo have "wil
fully" collaborated with the en
emy. The state department asserted
that the reports, coming from
Algiers in the last few days, are
"evidently inspired, endeavor
ing to create the impression that
this government upon the liber
ation of France intends to deal
with the Vichy regime or with
certain individuals directly or
indirectly supporting the policy
of collaboration with Germany."
Bombers Free
River Ice-Jam
Miles City, Mont., March 21
(U.B Four-motored bombers
and dive bombers loaded with
300-pound bombs came to the
rescue of flooded Miles City to
day arid prepared to free the
ice-jammed waters of the Yel
lowstone river in "practice ma
neuvers over an enemy objec
tive." The flight of bombers from
Peterson field, Colorado
Springs, Colo., army air base
came in answer to an appeal
from Gov. Sam C. Ford for
emergency relief to the stricken
city after the swollen river
overflowed its banks and flood
ed a residential district, leaving
more than 300 persons tempor
arily homeless.
As melting snow-fed waters
continued to pour into the ice
choked Yellowstone and threat
ened further flooding of the
city, army pilots planned their
strategy of droping the big
bombs on "key points" in the
ice jam. Engineers explained
that a break-up of the ice gorge
would permit the heavy volume
of water to move down the
river.
Two square miles of the city's
residential district were inun
dated yesterday, forcing 300 res
idents to evacuate their homes
and causing an estimated prop
erly damage of $50,000. The
river stood three feet over the
flood stage and about 15 feet
higher than normal today and
formed a lake more than a mile
wide in one portion of the city.
Some of the natives on Ponape
have etiquette in warfare, and
give notice of the day and the
place of hattie to the tribe to be
attacked.

Britain Gets
Carrier Fleet
Washington, March 21 T
Secretary of the Navy Knox
announced today that 38 escort
aircraft carriers built in the
United States have been deliver
ed to Great Britain under the
lend-lease program.
"This fleet of 38 carriers will
be a part of the anti-submarine
fleet of the Allied Nations"
Knox said at a news conference.
The escort carriers, of ap
proximately 10,000 tons dis
placement each have been one
of the most potent weapons
against the German submarines
in the Atlantic.
Knox pointed out that with
the gift of 38 of the deadly lit
tle craft to the British, 50 re
main in operation with the Unit
ed States fleet.
He said that the carriers were
delivered by the navy to Eng
land without their compliment
of planes and that he was not
personally acquainted with how
and when the planes were ob
tained. Like all other lend leased
ships, he said, title to the car
riers remains with the United
States and "if we want to exer
cise options," they can be re
claimed after the war.
In announcing the delivery of
the carriers, he remarked it was
"reminiscent'' of days before the
war when 50 destroyers were
delivered to Great Britain un
der the lend lease program,
Walter Snyder, curriculum di
rector for the v Salem public

Bonneville Offers to Pay
$90 Millions for Utilities
Seattle. March 21 u.R Washington state public power agencies
and the Bonneville power administration have offered to buy all
electric properties of the Puget Sound Power and Light company
for $00,000,000, it was an-
nounced today. The proposal lck-s. he offered to arrange pur
was submitted to the directors chase of "all of the electric
of the company by Bonneville
Power Administrator Paul J.
Raver. The move followed ac
tion of the city of Seattle and
Puget Sound public utility dis
tricts in requesting Raver to act
as negotiator.
Raver said that on the basis
of authority given him by the
public power groups and by
Secretary of Interior Harold
Block Tells of
Alumina Plant
While the Salem plant for (lie
reduction of alumina from clay
is small and will supply only
one-fortieth of the needs of the
northwest, it is the first step
towards production for com
mercial use and is not in any
sense experimental but of
highly significant development
of the industry, Ivan Bloch, act
ing chief of the division of in
dustrial and resources develop
ment for the Bonneville power
administration, told the Cham
ber of Commerce Monday noon.
Only united effort upon the
light metals committees, cham
bers of commerce and congres
sional delegations in congress
in protesting early action by the
WPB resulted in a reversal of
earlier plans, he said. Bloch
warned that it was still a long
road from the foundation of any
plant to production on a com
mercial basis.
The northwest will have one
third the production capacity of
the industry and take 75 per
cent of the available power from
Bonneville, he said. To con
tinue successful both clay and
bauxite, which can be imported
from the orient after the war,
are needed.
Future payrolls will depend
upon manufacturing of finished
products instead of shipping
the aluminum pigs east with
transportation equipment pro
viding the greatest future mar
ket, Bloch said.
The history of aluminum Is
one of great industrial strug
gle, the speaker said, with little
interest shown in the produc
tion of commercial need until
that lime. Production of alum
inum has been stepped up from
300,000,000 pounds shortly be
fore the war to 2,000,000.000 at
present. Aluminum was de
scribed by the speaker as the
most abundant metal in the
earth's crust but hardest to get.
particularly as clay yields high
content of iron and silica while
Bauxite runs around 55 to 60
percent alumnia with a lower
silica and iron content. Proc
essing was also described.

cilman of Salem, and salesman

retire its bonds at call price,, the
preferred stock at its par value
of S100 per share and to pay the
new common stock at least its
full par value of $10 per share,"
Raver wrote.
"In addition, I am of the opin
ion that a sale of the company's
properties on this basis will per
mit the establishment by the
company of a fund for protec
tion of the rights of employes
which have accrued under the
company's pension and retire
ment plan."
Raver said he would recom
mend that a committee of
unions representing the Puget
power employes be created and
"given voice in determination of
all problems" dealing with em
ployment status.
To Revise Navy
Standards
Washington, March 21 W) A
complete revamping of person
nel standards in the navy, with
an eye toward the needs of the
post-war fleet, will be under
taken soon in congress.
The house naval committee
probably after the congression
al Easter vacation will begin
study of legislation virtually
setting up a new code for the
status of commissioned officers,
both in the regular navy and
the naval reserve.
Rep. Magnuson (D.-Wash.)
said today it was an outgrowth
of many instances of discrimi
nation which turned up because
of wartime conditions.
One of the facets to be in
quired into Is what should be
done about the U.S. naval re
serve which has bounded from
a fledgling to a giant in step
with the huge shipbuilding pro
gram. The navy now has a force of
about 2,500,000 officers and
men and MaRnuson predicted
that by the end of the war, 70
percent will be in the naval re
serve. "Many of them will want lo
continue in the navy and we'll
have to have a large force," he
explained. "Something must be
worked out whereby they can
continue."
Many naval reserve officers
by that time will have had five
or six years active service and
perhaps be more fitted to re
main in uniform than to return
lo their civilian pursuits, he
pointed out.
