.......... . , " : : . . MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY," SEPTEMBER 21 1948 FACE TEN Casualties Heavy on Bothr Sides as Blues Attempt to Dislodge Stubborn Reds. By Jerry Hannifin United Press Correspondent Fourth Corps Headquarters Oregon Maneuver Area, Sept. 21 U.PJ The hardest fighting In the second tactical problem of the Fourth army corps maneuv ers today raged along the south western slopes of Hampton Butte, where the Blue force was striving to dislodge the stubborn Red army. Casualties continued heavy on both sides, one force of Blues being ruled out of action as a result of artillery fire. 20-Mile Front Observers believed neither side had committed its reserves, and the location and use of ar mored units was uncertain. Cavalry patrols were skirmish ing a 20-mile front. Blue soldier Pvt. Louis E. Louis, negro "I'm no relation to the boxer, Joe Louis" of Lewisport, Ky., a member of the gasoline supply group, worked day and night but said ha saw none of the Red forces, "but no doubt they't like to get here." This group is under charge of 1st. Lt. Billy R. York of Braw ley, Calif., who said "5,000 to 10,000 gallons of gasoline is be ing used day and night for all battle purposes." In a silt trench on a hillside, Mortar Fire Observer Lawrence Oreglia of San Ramon, Calif was casually writing a note to a sister at San Francisco. He directed fire that scored hits on trucks of the Blue Infantry. At a tank destroyer unit, Lt. Chris Macaluso of Brooklyn is proud of his unit. When asked who would win the world series he answered: The Big League "Elsenhower and Fatten In the big league. When our out fit goes Into the real action, we'll make history, Just watch." Among the prisoner-of-war stories is the one told by the Reds of an unidentified Blue lieutenant colonel who was cap tured but shot trying to escape. "It was Just as well," one of the Reds commented, "colonels don't talk, anyway.' Ma). Walker Stamps of Jack sonville, Fla., of the Fourth Corps Surgeon's office, in com menting on the casualties said that along a four-mile stretch of the front line medical help is available at all times only 800 yards distant. Sycamore wood, although of secondary importance commer cially, is attractive and suitable for Interior finish and cabinet work. i E TRUCKS COLLIDE Portland, Ore., Sept. 21 (U.R) Nine Portland firemen were in hospitals today, two of them seriously injured, as a re sult of a downtown collision of two fire trucks speeding to minor grass fire. Both were sounding their sirens and apparently each driver failed to hear the other vehicle. A northbound truck from en gine company No. 1 and a west bound from another station col lided at S. W. 4th . and Oak streets. Firemen riding the trucks were strewn for half a block. Witnesses said the big truck first careened against a loaded bus parked by the curb, shattering the bus windows but not Injur ing any of the passengers. Then, spectators said, the truck turned over in the air, scattering the firemen who still clung to lt, and landing half a block from the intersection, squarely on top of a parked car. The chemical trucK whirled around several times but did not overturn. FEATHERS CLUE IN Closing time (or Classified tat t , m. Too Ute to Classify 12:30 Hollywood, Sept. 21 (U.F9 Blakely Patterson, 22-year-old hospital orderly, smiled sheep ishly tpday and admitted his story of an extortion plot aimed at slain actor David G. G. Bacon, film "masked marvel," was only a hoax to get his picture in the papers. Hollywood, Sept. 21 U.R Police searched poultry estab lishments today in the belief that the knife which killed Bos ton Socialite-actor David Gaspar Bacon may have been the long thin-blade type used to kill chickens. Feathers found on a heavy blue sweater in Bacon's car led to this belief and gave investi gators their first tangible clue in the mystery slaying of the "masked marvel" of the films. Meanwhile police Investigated reports that Bacon, scion of a wealthy Boston family, feared a blackmail or extortion plot. A man Identifying himself as Blakeley C. Patterson, 22, and a "friend" of Bacon, told report ers the actor was apprehensive recently after receiving a threat ening letter.
