MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY,'' DECEMBER 19, 1941. PAGE THRE3 o i o O ' o I o o JAPS jNJSLANDS 2nd Lt. Carl Gies Returns Safely To Base After Forcing Enemy Down- Br Clark Ln Manila, Dec. 19 W) The roster of American air heroes is growing daily as these stout young pilots add to the list of 70 Japanese planes already offi cially announced as destroyed in fighting for the Philippines. The hara kari complex of the Japanese pilots, a development of the Samurai suicide psychosis, has been more than matched by the cool courage of the Ameri can airmen who are fighting against numerical odds to hold one of the most Important of allied strongholds. Kelly First Most of the time, Americans live through their cloud battles under the semi-tropical sun. Sometimes they do not. Capt. Colin P. Kelly, Jr., 26, Madison. Fla. was one of the first to die, in seriously damaging and caus ing the subsequent sinking of the Japanese battleship Haruna. Another who has given his life was Lieut. Samuel H. Merett, 26, Atlanta, who led his squad ron in an attack on Japanese naval transports attempting to land troops on Luzon. Two enemy vessels burst into flame as Meritt and his companions dropped their bombs and fol lowed with low-level strafing attacks. In the final dive, Meritt flew his plane squarely Into the side of a third Japanese trans port, which blew up. Ohioan Successful Lieut. Jack D. Dale, 25. Wll loughby, Ohio, repeatedly at tacked another group of Jap anese transports, silencing their anti-aircraft weapons with ma chine gun fire which drove the crews to cover and smashed the Japanese guns. Dale then dived upon the enemy landing barges, causing heavy casualties among the Japanese troops attempting to reach the shore through the surf. He was unhurt. Second Lieut. Carl Gies, 26, Salem, Ore., went aloft to pro tect his home field from an anticipated attack. In the air he received radio notice that another American base, 20 miles away, was under attack. Gies raced to the scene and dived through low lying clouds into a group of 20 enemy planes and forced one down. Gies returned safely although his plane was badly damaged.

District Attorney Lyel Keith said today he was advised the secretary of the treasury had issued a general permit allowing Japanese aliens who have re sided in the United States since before June, 1940, to resume ordinary business. ' Under the license Japanese who represent nationals outside the United Sla'es or the Jap anese government will not be allowed to do business, nor will any Japanese be permitted to engage in banking, shipping or some other businesses, he said. "The license is set up so that it will be difficult if not impos sible for Japanese to deplete tneir assets in this country, he said. "But it will give them a chance to make a living."

War Correspondent Says Death By Freezing Con stant Danger in Steppes. By Henry C. Caasldy With the Red Army on the Moscow Front, Dec. 19. (AP) Spend a couple of nights out on the Russian steppes suffering wind, snow and cold and you have an idea what the Germans are up against on the eastern front. I have Just been through two such nights. The elements at their wildest. whining and moaning weirdly ol. the broad plains, broken here and there by stark forest, strike every living thing exposed to them and make death by freez ing an ever-present danger. That is one of the important reasons why the Germans are now fall ing back from advanced posi tions near Moscow and seeking winter quarters. Full Effect In Open You have no conception of the violence of this Russian winter as you drive out of the towns and villages where the Soviet troops keep warm in well-equipped quarters. It is only when you get Into the open where the Germans have been forced to seek shelter in the forests or in shattered set tlements that you feel the full effect. Then you see that the greatest invader, whether he be a Na poleon or a Hitler, met In this weather a foe more than worthy of his mettle. I noticed the weather as an interesting natural phenomenon while riding out of Moscow to ward the front on a bright, crisp day. Gradually slate-gray clouds covered the sky. Toward nightfall the snow be gan and suddenly darkness came. The car ran slower and slower. The road disappeared under the drifts. Finally the car lunged into a ditch settling up to the hubcaps in snow. There were no signs of life anywhere. There was nothing to do but sit In the car until daybreak. Paraonal Fee Then the weather became a personal foe. There were six of us in the car, the Russian driver, a guide, one Australian, two British cor respondents and myself. We sat in cramped quarters straight up right as much as would German motorized infantry ln stalled troop carriers. Pressing close together to keep warm we dozed fitfully. Finally gray morning light fil tered through the windows. An drifts came down the road, army truck plowing through the Troops heaved us out of the ditch and broke path to the highway. vocal and musical selections and pantomines. Two oil paintings, entitled The Annunciation" and "Star of the East" by Mrs. Lottie C. Rogers will be part of the Christmas decoration and will be used as a theme ln a panto mine "Star of the East". Every boy and girl present will receive a treat The public la cordially invited. Methodists to Give Foodstuff Offerings The Methodist church reports through the pastor, Louis C.
