Peru, Mass., Aug. 17 (AP) Three soldiers, one ot them a heroic sergeant who dragged two companions to safety from a flaming army transport plane. today were given a better than even chance to recover the only survivors of a crash that took the lives of 17 others. All three Sergeant Robert Lee, 23, of Columbus, O., Corp. Alonzo Pearson of Somerset county. Pa., and Private James Fern of Abingdon, Va. suffered serious burns when the big ship plunged into Peru mountain in this Berkshire Hills town Satur day night while on a routine mission out of Pope Field, Fort Bragg, N. C. In laconic language, the army told this story of Sergeant Lee's heroism: "With his clothes completely burned from his body, he climb ed from the wrecked plane and Stockings?

He carried two others from the burning ship only to find they were dead. "He then walked three quar ters of a mile to the nearest highway and directed state po lice back to the scene of the wreck. He had previously signal ed for help by firing three shots irom nis revolver. An investigation of the acci dent, one of the worst in the history of United States military aviation, was launched, but the army released no details on the possible cause. The huge plane sheared tree tops for 100 yards as it plunged toward a flat spot atop 2,200 foot Garnet peak on the moun tain, then burst into flames. kinds held at 15.00 and above; good hnndyweight yearlings 13.00 with nothing strictly choice offered; few choice rat ewes up to 6.50. WHETHER it's bringing in a well at some sun-sizzled field or handling a run of gas oline in a refinery, the oil game is rough and tough and he-man stuff. So, when the War Pro duction Board says women must roll up their sleeves and release millions of men for war, it means a particular problem for Standard. Although ours is a husky war industry, our men are con stantly exchanging work clothes for uniform. Often women can not directly replace them. But Standard is managing to intro duce women on many jobs out side their traditional sphere . . . as chemists, as draughtsmen, as wc-don't-yet-know-what-all. In some instances, women may be trained on the job. Per haps more often, courses of specialized training will be needed -just as is true when bank clerks and farm boys go into the shipyards. Already Standard is hand-in-glove with the University of California on ' a training-for-women program. f Wherever they work for Standard, women will find their surroundings pleasant. Their tasks will be far easier than the ordinary home-work of their pioneer grandmothers. And, just as those grandmothers made many an Indian sorry that he ever went on the warpath, so will today's Standardettes help roll up the Axis by rolling up their sleeves.

BY 5000 PEOPLE Over 5.000 persons witnessed the Jackron County Sheriff's Posse's rodeo and horse show at the fairgrounds park over the week-end, an estimated 3,200 attending the Saturday night program and some 2.000 being on hand for the Sunday night performance, the committee in charge said today. So great was the crowd Sat urday night that lack of seating accommodations forced those in charge to turn away between 400 and 500 customers. The thousands who saw the perform ances were high in their praise of the rodeo events, as well as the horse show. Mack Barbour of Klamath Falls furnished all stock for the rodeo, including bucking horses and wild Brah ma bulls, and some of the coast's top riders competed for the large number of cash prizes offered. First prize in the calf-roping contest Sunday night went to Basil Brown in :20.2, with Pat Fiske, Joe McAuliffe and Dutch Martin following in that order. Dutch Martin won the bull rid ing contest, with Tom Bride and Bill Holmes tied for second and Mutt Dillon fourth. In the bronc riding event, Jerry Ambler cap tured first, followed by Jack Sherman, Marshall Flowers, Ce cil Bedford and Pat Fiske. Saturday night, Cleve Kclley won first in the calf roping in :17.3, followed by Pat Fiske, Basil Brown and Leonard Block. Vic Matney and Dutch Martin tied for first in the bull, riding and Bill Holmes and Tom Bride split third money. The rodeo and horse show, one of the most successful ever staged here, was held in con junction with the activation of the 91st Infantry Division at Camp White.

Templeman said today that the Oakridge-Westfir area of Southeastern Lane county will be virtually without milk within few days. In telegram to the State Milk Control board he said two of three producers serving the area, which has a population of 1B00, went out ot business last month. The other producer cannot con tinue in operations long, he added. Templeman blamed the milk control law and asked a change in quotas and price to permit "production and distribution at a reasonable profit. He said shortage through the Eugene milkshed prevents the area from shipping in supplies.
