Like Shooting Ducks
Oswego, Ore., July 23 (IP)
It was like shooting ducks
on a pond, Lieut. Wentworth
Stone, a navy flier credited
with two direct hits on Jap
anese warships, said last
night of the battle of Midway.
Home for a "hero night"
celebration, Stone said:
"We really caught the Japs
napping at Midway and it's a
good thing we did as they
had us greatly outnumbered.
But when we got their car
riers in the first attack, I
knew we had the battle won.
After that, it was Just a case
of picking them off for, with
their air superiority b'asted,
thev didn't have a rhnnrp."
GETS COLD FEET
Salem, July 23 (F) A 54-year-old
male inmate of the
Oregon State hospital, who
climbed the 140-foot water tank
on the hospital grounds at 2
l. m. yesterday and threatened
to jump, came down at 9:15 last
night when he got cold and
hungry.
The Inmate, received . from
Klamath county two years ago,
became abusive when Dr. J. C.
Evans, hospital superintendent,
asked him to come down.
Shortly after he went up, he
threw his shoes down at Dr.
Evans. His feet must have been
pretty cold by the time he came
down. ...

Oregon's Ex-Flying Tiger
Home for Brief Vacation
Says Japs Not Too Smart
Yamhill, Ore., July 23 UP) Oregon's most famous ace of the
Burma-China Battleskies, AVG Flight Leader Ken Jernstedt,
came home today, and found himself eligible for the draft.
Which his friends thought alittle odd for an ex-Flying Tiger
with an official battlebag of lOMitsubishi Zeros and an unoffi
cial count of at least a scoremore. But there he was in an
American volunteer group uni form, wearing a Chinese decora
tion and Just as 1-A as thevcome.
The reason Jernstedt, like
many another AVG'er, was left
without rank or military attach
ment when the Tigers were ab
sorbed by the army in China.
He resigned his marine commis
sion a year ago to enter the
famous Burma-China flying out
fit. Won't Wait Draft
However, Oregon's lone Tiger
won't wait for the draft.
"As soon as I've had a little
rest I want to fly again," he
said. "With the army this time,
I think. I'd like to do it in
Australia."
.The 25-year-old former Yam
hill farm lad says Nippon's
aviators are "good fighters with
guts but they're not too smart.
We worried them to death. We
pulled new tricks when they
were looking for old ones. We
never gave them what they ex
pected. As to planes the Zero fight

minded congressmen are asking
admirals and merchant marine
chiefs whether manufacture of
cargo planes by the thousands
would be the best way to beat
the submarines.
They are studying a proposal
by Henry J. Kaiser, west coast
shipbuilder and engineering au
thority, that several existing
shipyards be devoted to con
struction of 5,000 giant flying
boats, capable of carrying big
cargoes on transoceanic flights.
Rep. Mott (R., Ore), a high
rankino- minority member of the
j bouse uaval committee, said be
tiss fighter which the Tigers
used.
The Zeros have only two ad
vantages over the P-40s, faster
rate of climb and more maneu
verability. But give me a P-40
any day. But don't fight the Jap
his way. He wants you to stay
in there so he can outmaneuver
you. Put your P-40, which really
can take it, into a dive. The Jap
starts to follow but either he
g:es up In a hurry or you dive
the wings right off his Zero.
' Give the American ?iirs the
planes where they need them
and they can- take the Japs. I
have no doubt of that." '
Portland, July 23 (P) The

Several admirals were to have
appeared before the committee
today for a discussion of steps
to throw the Japanese out of
three islands In the western
Aleutians, but departmental
business kept them away from

them was deferred.

Soviet Facing Gravest Crisis
in 13-Month War Red
Army Battles Bitterly.
By Eddy Gilmora
Moscow, July 23 (P) Throw
ing many airplanes and tanks
into the fight to hold the huge
German army which has surged
into the lower Don basin, the
Red army braced and reported
stronger resistance from Tsim-
lyansk to Novocherkassk today.
Soviet Russia faced her grav
est crisis in the 13-month-old
German-Russian war today as
Nazi armored columns closed in
for the second battle of Rostov,
speared anew toward Stalingrad
and pressed upon the lower Don
between.those cities in an effort
to isolate the Caucasus.
Rads Fight Bitterly
Not since the Mongols were
driven from southern Russia 562
years ago had there been such
a threat to the military security
of the nation, observers said.
Red army men fought bitterly
to stem the invasion tides, aware
that the Germans were more
than half-way along on drives
which might split the Russians'
southern and trans - Caucasian
commands.
Rostov was menaced from
three sides at Novocherkassk,
20 miles northeast of the city:
from the north by a large force,
Including Italians, striking from
Voroshilovrad; and from the
west by axis divisions which
wintered at Taganrog, 40 miles
away.
Similarly a three-dlrectlonal
threat developed against Stalin
grad, 250 miles by air northeast
of Rostov. The central and most
advanced column was astride
the Stalingrad-Likhaya railway
line slightly more than 100 miles
west of the Volga city.
Moon Aids Russians
By the light of a bright half
moon, Soviet heavy bombers
and fighter -bombers pounded
long columns of German rein
forcements moving into the Don
river arer last night.
Scores of troop-laden trucks
were smashed and others fled
in confusion, field reports said.
Another column was said to have
suffered simultaneous bpmbings
at head and tail.
(By Associated Press)
The Germans declared today
that their forces reached the
outskirts of Rostov yesterday,
trying to repeat from another
direction last November's swift
but short-lived conquest of that
city guarding the estuary of the
Don. Berlin said the advance
continued today.
The Vichy radio quoted Stock
holm reports as saying that the
Germans had commenced "a
massive attack" on Stalingrad,
an industrial center at a lower
elbow of the Volga just east
of the big bend in the Don.
Whether this meant that the
Germans were striking at Sta
lingrad's Immediate defenses
was not clear but that seemed
unlikely.
At the Egyptian end of the
middle east lifeline the British
commonwealth's army of the
Nile was unofficially reported
to have progressed somewhat
along the entire 40-mile front
west of El Alamein, Alexan
dria's outlying barricade, al
though today's Cairo commu
nique claimed an advance only
In the renter.
RAF bombers, dominating the
skies, continued their smashing
assaults on German Marshal
Rommel's armor and unflagging
patrol of the battle area as the
British troops consolidated Inch
ing gains of yesterday.
The Italian high command
announced, however, that the
British had been repelled every
where and counterattacked, los
ing 800 prisoners, mostly New
Zealanders and Indians, and 130
tanks destroyed on the field.
Rome said the fighting had as
sumed a character of particular
tenacity.

28 Charged With
SUITS FOR CAMP
SETFORFILING
Trial Expected in Court in
October Bids Asked
For Buildings on Land.
Approximately 75 condemna
tion suits have been or will be
filed within the next few days
in Portland federal court against
land in the Camp White area,
it was announced today by
Norman G. Fuller, real estate
project manager of the land
section of the U. S. army engi
neers, with offices in theMed
ford federal building.
Proceedings, Fuller stated, are
being filed by Barnard H. Ram
sey, special attorney for the
Department of Justice. It was
understood the cases, to be tried
in federal court here, would be
heard in October or possibly
sooner. The 75 cases represent
the majority of Camp White
landowners who were not satis
fied with the appraisal prices
offered them by the government
for options on their land.
Sell Buildings
In connection with the clear
ing of land in the cantonment
area, Fuller announced that
sealed bids were now being
received for ' the purchase ' of
buildings, such as houses and
barns, on properties already
vacated or soon to be.1 The bids
are being filed in Fuller's tfed-
eral building offices. He said
it was expected that all struc
tures would be cleared from the
area by August 14.
Although most of the farmers
In the Camp White area have
harvested their crops or will
be able to do so by the Au
gust 10 deadline, the govern
ment purchased a few small
crops from farmers who vacated
their orooerty early, and later
sold them through bids. Bids
for a few more small crops are
being received, and previous
owners of the crops are eligible
to bid on them, Fuller ex
plained. NIPPONESElAIN

AUSTRALIA DRIVE
(By the Associated Press)
With an Aleutlap-style en
croachment In the southwest
Pacific, the Japanese have ad
vanced their lodgements on the
New Guinea north coast by 150
miles further to the southeast
to a point 100 miles across
nearly impassable Jungle from
the allied foothold at Port
Moresby.
Port Moresby lies 165 and 190
miles, respectively, south of
Salamaua and Lae, hitherto, the
closest Japanese footholds.
It was the first aggressive
thrust since the smashing Jap
anese naval-air defeat in the
Coral sea in early May.
The sea borne Japanese, be
tween 1,500 and 2,500 strong,
were set ashore on Wednesday
at Gona mission, near Buna, on
the northern coast of the south
eastward-slanting Papua penin
sula of New Guinea, 150 miles
southeast of Japanese-held Sala
maua and about 175 miles from
Lae.
The move cost the Japanese
dearly in casualties, plus a large
transport and a landing barge
sunk, and a seaplane shot down
as allied planes opposed the
landing with a terrific bombing
and strafing. Two allied fight
ing planes were lost.
General MacArthur s an
nouncement of the New Guinea
move overshadowed news from
China that United States bomb
ers on Monday set docks and
warehouses aflame and smashed
a railway station at Kiukiang
on the Yangtze, In addition to
sinking two Japanese ships, as
previously reported.
