Henry Schmidt Starts to Pay
Debt to Jap Prison Guard
Greybull, Wyo., Dec 14 (U.R) Henry Schmidt today began pay
ment on a wartime debt to a Japanese who risked his own life to
smuggle food to starving American prisoners at the Osaka ship
yards. Schmidt, an American construction worker taken prisoner at
Wake Island, promised the smp-
yard worker that he would bring
the man's son to the united
States for an education in re
turn for aid that spelled the
difference between survival and
starvation.
The son, 16-year-old Haruo
Kasai, will arrive Friday in San
Francisco aboard the S.S. Pres
ident Cleveland and will fly to
Billings, Mont., to be met Sat
urday by Schmidt and his wife.
The 38-year-old construction
engineer said the boy would be
enrolled in the Greybull high
school and sent to an American
college for science studies "if
everything goes according to
plan."

Work Proceeds
The work of fire-proofing the
Tillamook burn under the forest
rehabilitation act is proceeding
on schedule, according to
George Spaur, state forester.
Spaur stated that the third
area in the fire corridors was to
be cleared of all snags and that
bids for this work would be re
ceived by the board of forestry
not later than December 30,
1949.
According to the forester, ap
proximately 2,718 snags are in
eluded in the open bid which is
being extended to all interested
persons. The snags have been
marked with yellow paint and
have an average diameter of
38.5 inches. The area is locat
ed in the vicinity of Owl Camp,
on the Wilson river highway, in
sections 1, 2, 11 and 12, Town
ship 1 North, Range 8 West.
Spaur urged that all prospec
tive bidders visit the snag block
so that they may thoroughly
familiarize themselves with the
conditions on the ground and the
type of snag that has to be cut.
Guides and information may be
obtained at the forestry head
quarters at Forest Grove or at
the Owl Camp.
Bid forms may be obtained at
the Forest Grove headquarters
or at the state forester's office
in Salem.
Jefferson Diking
Proves Successful
Jefferson A meeting of the
farmers living along the north
and south forks of the Santiam
river met in the city hall to dis
cuss the dykes which were re
cently completed. They were
pleased with the work which
had been done and are satisfied
that flooding of the land has
been checked, judging by the
recent high water. The state and
county officers will inspect it in
the near future.
ei uses to Discuss
Row Holding Up Promotions
Washington, Dec. 14 (U.R) Rep. W. Sterling Cole (R., N.Y.) has
information, not yet confirmed, that the navy's latest list of
Admiral promotions has been held up because of the recent uni
fication row.
Navy sources refused to discuss the report.
Cole, a member of the houses-
armed services committee, said
he heard the list has been delay
ed so the name of Capt. Arleigh
A. Burke, Pacific war hero, can
be removed.
Burke was director of "Oper
ation 23," a special navy unit
which reportedly was the nerve
center of a propaganda drive be
fore it was dissolved by Adm.
Forrest Sherman who took over
as chief of naval operations in
the unification shakeup.
The navy board which selects
nominees recently completed
list of 23 captains for promotion
to rear admiral. The list was
sent to the White House about
five days ago. President Tru
man is vacationing at Key West,
Fla.
Navy sources refused to con
firm or deny that Burke was up
for promotion to rear admiral.
The navy traditionally refuses
to reveal what names are on the
list prior to approval by the
President who then sends it to
the senate for confirmation.
