OF JACKSONVILLE TAKEN BY DEATH r Civilians Assured Diet Next Year About Equal to 1943 Military May Cut Supply Washington, Oct. : 18. (U.R) Farmers are filling the 1944 lar der with record supplies of food in what the war food adminis tration said today was one of the most remarkable production achievements of the war. Accurate food production re ports and estimates for 1943 now are available and ' they assure civilians a diet in' 1944 about equal to this year and better than in any year except 1941 and 1942, the WFA said. . Outlook Summtd Up The agriculture department and the WFA, summing up the 1944 civilian food outlook in a report on the national food situ ation, predicted: . "An abundant supply of cer eals; as many chickens, eggs, fresh fruits and vegetables, po tatoes, beans and peas as. this year; food fats and oils to main tain present ration allowances; fewer canned fruits and veget ables in the first half of 1944 but more in the second;' less red meats and dairy products." The larder is being filled with 24,000,000,000 pounds of meat, 120,000,000,000 pounds of milk, 6,000,000,000 dozen eggs, 4,000, 000,000 pounds of poultry meat, 3,000,000,000 bushels of corn, 833.000,000 bushels of wheat, more potatoes, rice, beans, peas and peanuts than ever before. Many Difficulties - That achievement, WFA offi cials pointed out, was made de spite labor shortages, fewer new machines, a, cold spring and floods, delayed plantings, . and large areas hard-hit by a late summer drought. But to the favorable outlook, WFA added this note of caution: Civilians are not going to get all the food they would like to buy. Purchasing power In excess of supplies will be at least as high as this year. Military re quirements may cut more sharp ly into supplies of some foods. Farmers are harvesting the second largest food and feed crops on record. Meat, milk and other livestock products . will total 10 per cent above the phe nomenal record of 1942. Total food production crops and, live stock will be five per cent above last year and 42 per cent above the 1935-1939 average. Much Going Abroad This year the United States will send abroad, to the military, lend-lease and relief, one-quar ter of total food supplies, double 1942. Next year those'shipments will total about one-third of all supplies. J..'::-- - I "The 1943 civilian per capita food supply is richer than in 1935-1939 in all the essential nutrients and with the exception of vitamin A and ascorbic acid, the vitamin and mineral content of the foods consumed will be at least as high as in 1941 and 1942," the report said. "The net effect of smaller civilian supplies of meats and dairy products in 1944 probably will mean a diet slightly lower in calories, protein and calcium However, because of higher levels of enrichment of bread and flour now in effect, the diet may contain more iron and the B vitamins.

Zero Pilots Avoiding Tiffs With Big Liberator Bombers By Frank Tremaino United Press Staff Correspondent. An Advance South Pacific Base (Delayed) (U.R) America's big B-24 Liberator bomber is establishing such a record in Pacific aerial warfare for durability and fighting that Jap Zero pilots now. are showing a decided reluctance to tangle with these four-engiped craft. She s a hell of a good fight- ing ship," said Capt. G. E. Mar- quart, former Oakland, Cal., lawyer of 835 Portole Ave., Alemada, executive officer of a B-24 bombardment squadron at this base. . . "The Zeros have shown a marked lack of eagerness to jump us lately, unless they have considerable numerical superi ority, and even then they are not as eager as they used to be." Marquart revealed that his squadron on 23 strike missions in the last month and a nail all in daylight has suffered no combat losses. "We Just don't expect to lose bombers on daylight missions," he said. "We can bomb accu rately from above the effective range of Jap antiaircraft fire, and the fire-power of these ships is so great and they are so tough that they have been able to fight their way through Zero interception. We think these ships may be better fighters than the B-17-K Flying Fortress, and they can take a hell ol a beating and still get home." Effectiveness of the Libera tors' daylight attacks is indicat ed by one strike at the Japanese air base at Kahili in the norm- em Solomons in which at least 20 Jap planes were left burning on the runway, and three hits were registered on antiaircraft positions. Marquart said much of ' the B-24s' effectiveness in aerial combat and bombardment is due to innovations designed by Lt. Col. Marion Unruh, command ing officer of the bombardment group to which this squadron is attached. He said Unruh's innovations have greatly in creased the bombers' effective ness. Unruh, a former farmer from Prttv Prairie. Kan., flies the "Pretty Prairie ' Special." Re marking that Unruh was a track star in his college days, Mar quart said, "He's still a runner and he runs the legs off us to keeD the effectiveness of this to its highest level Leader of the squadron is Mai. Bvron M. (Pop) Sansom, Jr., and operations officer is Maj. Francis E. (Chief or Fire Chief) Riggs, a part Cherokee part Crow Indian from Okla homa. Riggs. a well-built, fine- lookine chan and "one of the best fliers here." flies a Libera tor decorated with an Indian chieftain's head and called "The Big Ch ef.' Dogfights between bombers are an unusual occurrence, but Marquart related one .incident GIRLS WANTED Oyer the Age of 18 For work in Camp White Exchange Cafe.

'The B-24s knocked down one of the Japs," Marquart said, "damaged the other and chased it home. Then they returned to the spot where the first Mitsu bishi was knocked down and found it floating on the water, so they strafed it until it sank." Marquart said that in addition to bombing missions against such Japanese bases as Kahili, Rekata Bay, Buka and formerly Munda, the Liberators ' make searches and armed reconnais sance and also have participated in bombardments for close of ground troops support in co ordinated operations with dive bombers, torpedo bombers and Billv Mitchell medium bombers. "We like to bomb Buka," he said. "That's a pretty target just made to order for us." WORLD WAR I SPY HELD ON COAST GUARD CHARGE San Francisco, Oct. 18 (U.R) Guenther Gustav Maria Rum.- rlch, first German spy to be con victed after World War I, was arraigned in federal court today on charges of falsifying informa tion for a coast guard permit and violating the national stolen property act.

Explaining the work of the Salvation Army, Major Nettie Brown of the local group today pointed out that the Salvation Army is a world-wide organiza tion operating in over 90 coun tries on an evangelistic and socialistic basis. Locally the Sal vation Army is one of the bene ficiaries of the Community Chest, which today started its annual drive for funds. "In Medford we have a corps located at 236 North Bartlett St.," the major stated. "A corps in lay language is a Salvation Army church, where our activi ties center. Religious Meeting "We conduct religious meet ings on the street and have regu lar religious meetings inside the corps building. In connection with our senior work we have a Home League, comparable to a sewing circle in other places. Here women volunteer once a week to sew. Layettes are made for mothers, garments are made and knitted for servicemen. The object is to create a friendlv feeling among women and still do constructive and beneficial work. 'Much of our time is spent among the young people. We conduct Sunday school every Sunday morning and another young people's meeting similar to Christian Endeavor or Ep- worth League. Once a week we have a Girl Guard class where the girls are taught much the same thing as the Girl Scouts teach. Among other activities for the young people we endeav or to teach them something about music. 'There is the recreational side of our program for the young people where we have parties. hikes, games, etc. Each year the Salvation Army operates a camp at the Lake o' Woods for under privileged children. This camp has been sponsored by the late George A. Hunt and the George A. Hunt Theaters, and the Rogue Klver National Forest Service Known By Mottoes . "The Salvation Army is known for two striking mottoes A man may be down but not out" and "Others' . Probably no other national organization has such an understanding of the "street" man, the broken home, the prisoner and the under privileged child as the Salvation Army. The Army is not so tech nical as it is sympathetic. "In, Medford our relief work is mostly with the transient and at the present time for those who are related to men stationed at Camp White. The Salvation Amy is one of the six agencies in the National USO and at 213 West Main Street is found one of these USO units under the di rection of the local Salvation Army."

HERE Due to recent consolidation of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies, the local office of the Postal will be closed in the near future but for the time being will be operated as a branch office of Western Union, according to Frank H. Gray, Medford manager of West em Union. .When the Postal .office Is closed, Gray said, Western Union will have Its office either at its present location. In the building now occupied by Postal or in some other place. In time, he said, all facilities of the two companies will be combined and operated at one station. All present Postal em ployes will be retained by West ern Union, he stated. , . . , "During the integration pro cess the public will continue to see the Postal Telegraph sign, blue telegraph blanks and envel opes and certain other Postal forms which will be 'used up in order to conserve paper, he ex plained. ' He pointed put, however, that all telegraph offices - will be under the management of West ern Union, and that telegrams filed at any office will be han dled over the unified system. He said that Postal Telegraph ac counts receivable and payable will be taken over by Western Union and payments for tele graph service heretofore billed to Postal should be made to Western Union. Gray said that local Postal Telegraph employes will be added to the Western Union ser vice roll as of the effective date of the merger and will receive the same considration and bene fits as though they had been Western Union employes in the past.
