MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1942. PAGE SEVEN RESUME SERVICE Aviation Mechanic Bert Hughes- of Rogue River, a sur vivor from the aircraft carrier Lexington which was sunk in the Coral sea battle early in May, left this morning for San Diego, Calif., after spending a furlough at the home of Frank E. Hall in Rogue River, with whom he had lived for several years prior to joining the navy three years ago. Hughes said the Lexington put up a great fight before a bomb from a Jap plane started a fire that was impossible to extinguish, and which several hours later forced the crew to abandon ship. Most of the some k 3,000 men aboard were rescued "by American destroyers, Hughes stated. Hughes declared that plane for plane and man for man the Japs were inferior to the Ameri cans. However, he said, the Jap Zero fighter planes were more maneuverable than American fighter craft but added that United States planes were far superior in every other respect. "Jap flyers," he recalled, "seemed to have only one idea In mind to crash their planes into their objects. Bue we usu ally got them before they could do it" He said the Japs were poor bombardiers and added that the only time they would engage Americans in air fights was when they had numerical superiority.

F SAYS VETCH, PEAS STORY ERRONEOUS Statements appearing in Ore gon newspapers that seed deal ers would receive a "total profit of $18 a ton for hairy vetch seed and $16 a ton for Austrian peas" is entirely erroneous and not based on facts, says a state ment issued from the office of Leon S. Jackson, manager of the Oregon Feed and Seed Dealers' association, received here today. The statement says "the AAA sets the handling charges, and up to Saturday had not indi cated what dealers would be paid for their work. Dealers have asked that they be allowed $9 per ton for hairy vetch and $8 for peas. Just ho" of amount credited in the state ment sent out by a Wasiungiun, D. C. news service. "Officials of the association have asked that this Washing ton news service correct the false impression . conveyed in this news release, as It has al ready created considerable dis turbance to seed growers of the state). Many seed growers are aware of the fact that this in formation is not correct, but in view of the fact that the AAA has not yet set handling charges, others do not know but what the statement is correct. "Seed dealers have worked closely with the AAA in an effort to secure top prices for the growers in their southern trade, built up over a period of years." Douglas Co.
