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

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.

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. Patterson said
Bacon had made an appointment
to meet the writer of the note
the day he was killed.
