PAOE TWO
TO GET
'CRACK' AT JAPS
r
Fix Us Up So We Can Get
Back For Another Crack
At 'em,' Is Sailor's Plea.
By Collier Ford
San Francisco, Jan. 1. (P)
"Fix ui up so we can set back
for another crack at 'em," a
tailor wounded at Pearl harbor
' cald today ai he and icorej of
other army and navy casualties
arrived here on ships from the
Pacific battlegrouod.
, From the gangplanks ai they
were lowered from the tall gray
lides of the ships came a thin
trickle first of walking wound
ed, hobbling on crutches or
their arms In slingi.
Later sailor orderlies began
carrying the stretchers down
boys still smiling, with a cigar
ette between their lips despite
burns which had left their faces
raw and red or shrapnel wounds
which had torn their bodies.
Families Arrive
' With them disembarked hun
dreds of the navy's wifes and
mothers and children worn
from a sudden trip which found
them leaving their fathers and
tiusbands on Christmas day of
all days.
Women In the gray and blue
of emergency and Red Cross
services waited to help the
evacuees and the piers were
barred by steel-helmeted army
sentries to all but the waiting
ambulances, lined up in serried
Tows.
A mother came off, walking
slowly down the dock, holding
a boy of two by one hand and
at her side another son, about
four, carrying a little suitcase
with "Little Country Doctor"
lettered on it in bright letters.
Doctors and nurses, real ones,
were busy tending the wounded
sailors and soldiers, trying to
make them comfortable for the
trip to army and navy hospi
tals.
But the boys were smiling for
the most part, although some ol
them lay still and quiet, up
speaking on their stretchers.
Others were feverishly reading
American papers, trying to get
an idea of what had happened
In the rest of the world out
aid. Typical Story
The story told by J. R. Tram
mell, an American boy Just
turned 20, was typical. Tram
mell, leaning on his arm, a blue
sweater tight over his gray pa
Jamas, and a blue stocking cap
Jauntily cocked over his brown
hair, is from Waurika, Okla.,
Where his parents, Mr. tnd Mrs.
E. D. Trammel, are farmers.
"This is what happened.'' the
boy said. "Thnt Sunday (Dec.
7 when the Japanese bombed
Pearl harbor) it didn't seem Any
thing unusual. But about five
minutes to eight we saw planes
flying ' overhead and a little
while later, a plane dropped a
torpedo which hit us forward.
"I was in the crew's galley
when the Japs were sighted and
that's where I got mine shrap-

Southern Oregon Work
men's November Checks
Have Not Yet Arrived.
Grants Pass, Ore., Jan. 1.
With the fate of more than
200 southern Oregon workmen
on mid-Pacific isles uncertain, a
payless winter threatened their
families.
Checks for November work,
expected Dec. 15, have not ar
rived, W. C. Allen, hiring agent
for the contractors, said today.
The November checks, If they
; come, probably will be the last
In a long while.
Allen said that families of
many of the men who signed
for work on Cuam, Wake, Mid
way and Palmyra were in
straitened circumstances.
Mrs. Cleve Stevenson, county
welfare head, said the relief
problem in the county might be
come serious.
San Francisco. Jan. t. WV
Bill Smith expected to be at his
home at Boise, Idaho, today after
arriving here from Palmyra isl
and with a group of several hun
dred evacuees.
Smith said he saw no signs
of the war at Palmyra, where he
was a civilian employe on a
naval building project, but man
aged to pick up a few spent bul
lets at Pearl Harbor on his way
home.
He was evacuated from Palm
yra a week after the Pearl Har
bor attack.

umbia Broadcasting System,
and eight executives with mon
opolistic practices were filed In
federal court today by the jus

virion.
The NBC suit sought by in
junction to break up the two
networks of National Broadcast
ing company by requiring NBC
to retain either the Red or Blue
network and sell assets of the
ether.
The government sought to
prevent Columbia Broadcasting
from continuing or making
further exclusive-affiliation con
tracts with broadcasting sta

asked that the networks be en
joined from making exclusive
contracts with broadcasting sta

running longer than two year?
and from preventing manufac
tureri of electrical transcrip
tions from making transcrip
tions in affiliated stations.

London, Jan. 1. (Ger
many's submarine fleet has suf
fered such losses that the nazl
high command apparently is
finding difficulty getting and
training new crews, the minis
try of information declared to
day. It said the situation at sea
had changed from one of anx

gards both German air and sea
assaults on British merchant
shipping.

40 Traffic Deaths
Mar Celebration of
New Year's Advent
By the Associated Press
Violent death brought tragic
endings to New Year celebra
tions of at least 61 persons, vic
tims of automobile crashes,
homicides, f a 1 1 and other
causes.
Traffic took the larger share
of the toll, 40 deaths, while mis
cellaneous causes accounted tor
the other 21.
The national safety council
said the degree of care exercised
by motorists and pedestrians on
New Year's Eve might mean the
difference between a new record
traffic death list of nearly 40,000
for 1941 or a total short of
1937 s mark of 39,643.
The national death total over
the Christmas holidays was 431,
consisting of 334 traffic and 97
from other causes.
' Illinois and Ohio led the list
of states with eight New Year's
dead each. Seven of Ohio's and
six of Illinois' deaths occurred
in traffic.

The traditional greeting "Happy New Yeir"
Is subordinated to the task of preserving the
RIGHT to seek happiness.
The health of the public Is most Important
Prooer foods help greatly to preserve good
health.
War is not pleasant, but If war It has to be
then let's do a thorough job of it. Here at Big Y
Market we know no more than you do but we
assure you that every precaution will be taken
to provide foodstuffs at prices in keeping with
market conditions. While prices are much lower
than during the last war, condit'ons are so much
different than existed then that food prices are
not expected to reach the price level that existed
at that time.
Food processors and food handlers are co
operating with the government to eliminate food
profiteering during these dark days of warfare
for our United States.
Big Y Market pledges to you that there will
be no profiteering on foodstuffs in southern Ore.
gon, that our sole aim will be to provide ample
stock of foodstuffs at lowest possible prices.
With two or three exceptions there is no
shortage on any kind of foods at the present time
and excessive price advances are unwarranted.
Purchase l'beral supplies of the foods you like
and need, but excessive purchase of foodstuffs
are not necessary at this time.
