Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, 1942. PAGE FIVB JAPANESEUNES 'Big Moose' Moss Shot : Down Over Jap Airdrome, Makes Way To Rangoon. ' By Danl.1 Deluc Rangoon, Burma, Jan. 21 UP) Georgia-born Pilot Officer R. G. Moss, American volunteer with the Chinese force, came back safely today by river raft, bull cart and airplane, slipping through Japanese lines after he parachuted from his damaged plane. The flier, known to his associ ates as "Big Moose" Moss, had destroyed one Japanese plane and damaged another In an air fight yesterday over the Japa nese airdrome at Meshod, north western Thailand, before his own plane was hit. His parachute brought him down 10 miles west of Meshod, just behind the Japanese lines. He got through, reached Moul mein and came back to Rangoon in a British plane. Got One Jap I There were great red welts on his neck from where his parachute rigging had burned him and his front teeth were chipped from the force of his 0 landing in a rice paddy after bailing out at only 800 feet, but he seemed unperturbed as he climbed from the bomber here and recounted his experiences. "Positively I got one Japanese army 97," the drawling Geor gian told his mates. "He never had a chance to open his chute. A second rascal tried to ram me while I was climbing, and then a third got on my trail . . . ." That was when his ship was damaged. '1 figured it was curtains if I tried to straighten out of my turn so I went overboard," he said. "My ship landed 100 yards away and made a smouldering crater filled with wreckage. '1 didnt know the native lingo, but some little brown men in skirts came out of a village armed with bows and arrows and a few shotguns, and we got along fine with signs. I finally started hitching on bullock carts, the headmen sending me from village to village until I bunked for the night in one of their bamboo huts. "I got up at daylight and reached a fast-running river. I don't know the name of it, but it carried me, on some sort of a native craft, to a settlement 14 miles from Moulmein where a British official drove ma In to town."

(UP) One of the primary objectives of the new and liberal regime in Iran is to provide elementary educa tionutilizing manv American principles for greatly lncreas- j ed numbers of Iranians, Dr. Issa j Sadiq, minister of education, said in an interview with the United Press. i Dr. Sadiq believes that more 1 education, especially elementary schools, will greatly assist Iran's progress in democratic govern ment. "Education, especially If It ! builds character properly, is the 1 basis of strong national unity," he said. I Dr. Sadiq was awarded his Ph.D. at Columbia university in i 1931. He holds degrees from I r i 1 -. .. i i. I i .1 -r viiiuiik umv-xaiij aim insti tutions of higher learning in Paris and Versailles. He is a brilliant conversationalist in half a dozen languages, speaks excellent English. It is understood that Ameri can teachers may be asked to come to Iran and that a cultural exchange between the United States and Iran is the ardent desire of Dr. Sadiq.
