Fugitives Brave High Seas
Of Atlantic in Tiny Sail Boat
Dublin, Feb. 3 (U.R) A tiny sailing boat, convened from a
rowboat, crept through the gale-swept seas, almost smashed
itself on a line of needle-edged rocks and crawled to the quiet
of Wexford harbor.
Its pilot, radio-engineer Paul Muller, aged 33, and his daughlerl
-Aga, both refugees from the
Soviet zone of Germany, had
another step in their desperate
flight to South America.
When he saw them near the
reef, Capt. Mark Bates of the
motor trawler Pride of Helvic
called for aid and went to their
assistance.
As they approached the tiny
Berlin, the trawler skipper sig
nalled to the Mullers to lower
their sails. Then they maneuver
ed close to the Berlin, threw a
rope, and took it in tow.
Data Compiled
About Teeth
Preliminary to the observance
of national children's dental
health week, February 6, the
Marion-Polk-Yamhill dental so
ciety has compiled certain in
formation concerning the care of
teeth.
Care of the primary teeth is
important to later dental health,
the society states. Since the child
uses the primary teeth for about
the first 13 years, or approxi
mately one fifth of his normal
lifetime, "it .is most important
that they be maintained in the
healthiest possible condition."
If a primary tooth begins to
decay, it should be filled in or
der to check the decay process
and preserve usefulness of the
tooth for the maximum period
intended by nature.
If a defective tooth cannot be
treated properly to restore it to
health and usefulness it should
be extracted.
As for permanent teeth, the
society, among other things
points out that the so called
sixth year molars are considered
"guideposts for the rest of the
permanent teeth to come." All
the other incoming teeth take
their position in relation to the
sixth year molars. If they grow
out of line or are lost through
neglect, the other teeth may
shift out of normal position.
Injuries to a permanent, front
tooth should be cared for im
mediately since if needed pro
tection is not given, the nerve
may die and the tooth may have
to be removed.
Budworm Study
To Get Stress
Oregon's forestry department
shortly after the middle of Feb
ruary will start advanced studies,
designated to determine the in
tensity of the spruce budworm
infestation in Oregon.
The early study of the infes
tation will give the department
an idea of what can be expect
ed during the spring outbreak.
Alvin Lindsten, entomologist
with the research division of
the state forestry department.
said that the study will be made
by placing infested branch speci
mens in rearing cages and count
ing the insects as they emerge.
Lindsten is to be assisted in
the work by W. J. Buckhorn
Portland, bureau of entomology
and plant quarantine. Buckhorn
will collect specimens in the
Blue mountains of eastern Ore
gon and in the Mount Hood
region and Lindsten, in the Sis
ters area and throughout west
ern Oregon.
Knowledge of the life habits
of the pest, Lindsten said, would
give them the chance to deter
mine early in the year just what
can expect when the outbreak
occurs. They then can make
their plans accordingly. The
budworm hatches in July and
the small caterpillar immediate
ly hibernates in the bark of
the branches.
Twig specimens are to be col
lected in areas showing evidence
of infestation and placed in rear
ing cages at a temperature of
about 53 degrees. Within
few days, the young caterpillars
come out of hibernation and can
be counted. These figures will
give the forestry department the
basis for determining the degree
and extent of the infestation and
enable them to make advanced
plans to combat the pest.
Cold Weather Puts
Quietus on Fishing
Astoria, Ore., Feb. 3 (U.R) For
the second straight year winter
cold and ice have choked off the
livelihood of thousands of Col
umbia river fishermen.
Only a handful of boats have
attempted to fish since the sal
mon and steelhead commercial
seasons opened last Sunday, and
most of these have returned
either with frozen nets or nets
not laid out. Packers say that
fishing will have to wait until
the ice is gone from the river.
The Mullers' faces were cak
ed with salt as they came ashore.
They had not had a hot meal
since they left Milford Haven
in Wales three days before.
The Mullers were taken to a
restaurant for hot drinks and a
meal. Beds were prepared for
them but despite their weari
ness they refused to sleep ashore,
and returned to their tiny but
beloved boat.
It has only a couple of feet of
freeboard and no engine. The
small cockpit, "like the Black
Hole of Calcutta," is cluttered
with tanks and gear, and there
is barely room to lie on the deck
in a huddled position.
"People think I am crazy and
that my boat is crazy," he laugh
ed, "but I know what I'm am doing."
The Mullers took three weeks
to make the short journey from
Falmouth, England, to Wexford,
in the 16-foot boat.
The Mullers escaped from
Germany via Berlin, Hamburg,
Holland, Belgium, and France,
and set sail for England. Despite
the hard times they have faced
they are determined to go on.
We have met a lot of bad
weather and storms," Muller
said in broken English, "and
twice I have been thrown into
the water.
'But I am quite sure my boat
will stand up to the seas. I ex
pect it will take me about three
months to reach Brazil. From
there I shall go on to Argentina,
where I hope to settle and bring
my wife and son, who are still
in Germany.
Land is cheap there, and 1
expect to make good as a farmer,
with Aga to help me."
Aga told reporters that she
was not looking forward to the
long Atlantic voyage.
I do not want to go on," she
said. "I should rather stay here
where people are so friendly
and generous, but Daddy is de
termined to go, and in spite of
my fear, I shall stay with him.
The two have refused an offer
of a rent-free cottage in Wex
ford for the winter, until more
favorable weather would make
an Atlantic trip less dangerous.
Wexford friends think the
refugees may never reach their
destination. The boat, under
normal circumstances, they say
is so constructed as not to ship
water, but anything may happen
in mountainous seas.
Coast Guard Averts Disaster;
Solves Permanent Wave Puzzle

the distress message flashed:

Japanese Favor American
Occupation as Security Aid
Editor's Note: The author of this dispatch arrived in
Japan as a war correspondent with the first orcupation
troops. Since then his assignment as United Press chief
correspondent and manager for Japan has taken him all
over the four Japanese home Islands. This story is based
on his observations.
tenant rubbed his chin, sighed
deeply and reached for the tele
phone. Within an hour, dots
and dashes spelled out inis
message to the distressed hus
band:
Try four ounces peroxide in
quart of water. If no peroxide
available, wash 10 times with
any soap and shampoo.'
And so the coast guard search
and rescue division chalked up
another victory over disaster
and another story was entered
in a remarkable log known in
coast guard circles as the "D.F."
book.
D.F." stands for the kind of
question that people keep ask
ing the third coast guard dis
trict night and day by wire
less, by phone and in person.
They get some dillies at their
headquarters on the 10th floor
of a lower Manhattan building
(80 LaFayette St).
"Do barnacles bite?" (No
ma'am.)
"How deep is the Atlantic
ocean?" (It varies, sir up to
30,246 feet at a point north of
Puerto Rico.)
"How can I avo'd seasick
ness?" (The one sure remedy is
to get off the ship and lie under a
shady tree.)
To some extent the search
and rescue division is a victim
of its own good reputation. Peo
ple expect it to know everything,
do anything. Witness this item
from the "D.F." book:
"Received call from excited
woman requesting we find and
board husband's fishing boat
somewhere in Long Island sound
and see if a silly-actir.g, dumpy
little redhead is wilh him.
'Admised caller that unless
boat reported missing in distress
coast guard had no cause to hunt
for it.
"Caller became highly indig
nant, asserted men were all
alike, said coast guard typical
of government red tape."
All calls get attention, wheth
er they seem destined for the
"D.F." book or not. It pays. One
day a mysterious voice on the
phone said narcotics would be
found in a certain place on s
certain incoming ship. It sound
ed fishy but the coast guard
notified the customs They in
vestgated and found $70,000
worth of cached dope.

By EARNEST HOBERECHT
Tokyo, Feb. 3 (U.R) The Japanese want a peace treaty.
Nevertheless, they would settle now for a modified occupa
tion which would return most controls to their o'vn govern
ment while still providing continued American aid and pro
tection. :
Japanese, when discussing
their wishes, always emphasize
that they would like a peace
treaty and independence as
soon as possible.
However, they add that they
would like for the United States
to guarantee Japan's security af
ter the treaty is signed. That
they expect and believe will be
accomplished by America's re
tention of bases here.
Continued American aid also
is desired.
So, if the Japanese could have
their prefect wish, they would
have a treaty, get America's
promise of protection and make
some arrangements for Uncle
Sam to continue his extensive
assistance.
The Japanese, however, have
their eyes on the ball and they
can see that there is little chance
of their "perfect wish" coming
true in the immediate future.
Being practical, they have fig
ured out what they think they
are likely to get.
If there is no peace treaty, the
Japanese would like to see the
occupation modified until it re
mains virtually nothing but
watch dog to see that a more or
less independent Japanese gov
ernment does not get out of line.
The trend seems to be in that
direction. More and more res
pnosibilities are being relin
quished by Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur's headquarters and re
turned to the Japanese.

Even in this matter, the Jap
anese are seeing developments
which make them think their
wish may come true. Troops are
being diverted from "occupa
tion duties" to training ever-
cises designed to bring them up
to combat fitness.
A pro-fraternization program
has been launched to create
good will between the troops
and the Japanese. The idea

Much of Japan's almost amaz
ing post-war economic recovery
has been made possible because
of U. S. financial assistance. Not
only did American dollars pre
vent expected widespread star
vation here after the surrender
but American money primed the
pump to get Japan going again.
Most Japanese have a healthy
respect for the United States.
They respect America's military
might, her production capacity
and her wealth.
Many Japanese have said they
feel safe as long as American oc
cupation troops are in Japan, To
those Japanese, the American
forces are protection against
traditional bogey man, Russia.
When the last American GI
has marched aboard ship to sail
for home, Japan will have only
her police force to protect her.
She has renounced war and her
new constitution specifically
states that she will have no mili
tary machine.
"How would you feel?" a 50-year-old
Japanese white collar

had to ward off aggressors with
nothing but its police force, es
