Navy Plans to Stap Tank Battalion in Italy Up Training for Fliers h . a WASHINGTON, D C. - The navy announced recently that it would re- institute part of its pi ot training program, which was cut back last summer. The increase in pilot, training will give former aviation cadets and student aviation pilots who were separated from the preliminary stages of the program an op portunity to reenter the program. The navy said the accelerated tempo of the Pacific war was one reason for the increase in the train ing program. Another, the navy said, is the plan to speed up rota tion of navy fliers, giving aviators more frequent periods in the United States for rehabilitation and refresh er training. At the same time the navy an nounced that 2,000 "carefully se lected" enlisted men would begin V-12 college training July 1. j u m u n , rubikkM Published Friday or each weak by tha Pio near Publishing C o . at Beaverton, Orugon Entered aa aacood-olaaa m atter a t the paatofflce at Beaverton, Ora i .4LW One Year Subscription Payable In Advanca Beaverton Office—Enterprise Bldg., Phone Beaverton 2321 Portland Office—SOS Panam a Bldg., 3rd and Alder Phone ATwater (Jöwl O itc ]o ® liu < ® p t« f «Itllljiudtsipniio« 85 Villagers Murdered By Nazis in North Italy NEW YORK. — Fifty-five men, women and children out of the 200 inhabitants of the Italian village of Madonna Dell Albero, near Raven na, were massacred by Nazi SS (Elite Guard) troops.

Favors Examination For Underwriters Legislative action in the recent; meeting of the state legislature didn't get around to the proposed bill that life insurance underwriters should pass an examination before being allowed to sell Insurance. The passage of such a bill would have been a good thing, is the belief of Leon N. Lefebvre, who has rounded out a quarter of a century in the life insurance business. "Many states have such a law,'* Le febvre points out, "and Oregon could be benefitted, I believe, If a similar law were effected here. To me, life Insurance, Ls a highly specialized field and It takes hard stud yand many years of experience, as In many other pro fessions to really know It." lefebvre related that experienced, full-time life underwriters, can better serve peoples’ needs than many of the so-called Insurance men who only work part time at It and have their main living from some other business. His sincere belief ls that a law which requlied men to pass an ex amination, Just as lawyers do In their own profession, would mean more piotectlon to any buyer of life insur ance and the general public. He stated, "I’m certain If exper ience, full-time underwriters organ ized und backed such a bill, It could be passed at the state legislature, and when enacted would benefit ev eryone; those who wanted to enter the field full-time and those to whom policies would be sold. Then policies would be tailoied to fit ex actly the needs of each and every policyholder."

Plane Production Soars, Reaches 96,369 in ’44 With the Fifth Army, Italy,—8, Sgt. George J. Hauptman. whose brother Antone lives on route 3, Beaverton, Otegon, is a member of the 732nd Tank Battalion, which is credited with killing 1400 Germans, capturing 484 others, knocking out 11 tanks and disabling three others and destroying , 21 pillboxes, 41 vehicles and 64 guns. The outfit, now in the Apennlne Mountains before the Po Valley, had been in the line with the Fifth Army i about 300 days since it av&s indoc trinated in battle near Fondi, Italy, \ last spring. It has expended 55,000 rounds of ammunition in combat, in cluding lOft-millimeter, 76-millimeter 'and 75-millimeter shells. In one of its first actions, the 752nd helped seal off a German pocket in which 600 Germans were taken pris oners. Soon afterwards, the tankers en tered Rome with some of the first Allied troops to reach the capital. The tankers’ fighting between Rome ' and Arno River was characterized by ¡vicious skirmishes at close quarters, ' between 30 and 100 yards, with enemy infantrymen. The armor was able ' to reach positions at such close range | to the Germans because of conceal ment offered by heavy undergrowth familiar in that part of Italy In the summer. The outfit engaged In particularly fierce ..battles in -Roccastrada, Ce cina, Rosignano and Leghorn. The 752nd exchanged shellfire with the enemy in narrow alleys and through windows and doorways in Rosignano for seven days. Operating well in advance of the infantty, the 752nd attacked a heavily fortified hill north of Firenzuola at 8 ! o’clock one morning. Tnree hours later the last Geiman gun position on ; the summit had been wiped out. The | outfit held thè hijltop for four hours, until the infantry caught up. The 752nd was activated at Fort Knox, Kentucky, and trained at Fort Lewis, Washington, and Camp Young, j California. Further training was | received in England. Its personnel j operated an armored force training j school in Tunisia and, later, an ar mored command training school a I few miles south of Naples, Italy. Lt. Colonel Hyman Burss, Van Nuys, California, commands the tank- 1 ers. WASHINGTON. — American fac tories delivered 96,369 planes of all types in 1944. bringing production since July 1, 1940, to an Axis-stag gering total of 253,256. The 1944 output represented an in crease of 11,423 planes, but by using weight as the yardstick the increase exceeded 50 per cent. Weight now is regarded as a more accurate gauge. The trend toward greater average change directly. All groups, how weight will continue in 1945, with in ever, including housewives and school creasing numbers of B-29 Superfort | pupils, will share to some degree in resses and other giants.
