U. S. 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.

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.
An overseas dispatch to the OWI
said Lieut. H. N. Acker of Toronto,
a signals officer of the Canadian ;

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."
A group of college girls recently ob­
jected to an article In a newspaper
stating that they wore "bobby socks".
They deny this saying they wore
"anklets." Only juveniles wear "bob­
by socks."

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.

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
