Lt. Com. Henry A. Stanley of
the navy, who makes his home
in Medford when not on active
duty, is the subject of a recent
article in The Masthead, navy
publication at Treasure Island in
California. Lt. Com. Stanley
celebrated his fiftieth anniver
sary in the navy last February,
The article reads: '
"The saltiest sailor on Treas
ure Island quietly observed his
fiftieth anniversary in the-navy
last February. News of this event
has just come to light together
with these other interesting
facts. Lt..Com. Henry A. Stan
ley, U. S. navy, has been the
Executive Officer of Section
Base, Treasure Island, since
November, 1942.
Enlisted in 1893
"Henry A. Stanley enlisted in
the United States navy as a
stripling in February, 1893, com
ing in as an apprentice, third
class. In the true spirit of a mus
tang, he had made all the grades
by 1903. When World War I
came, he was given command ot
the Gun Boat Rainier and cruised
the Gulf of Mexico on neutrality
duty. From this Lt. Com, Stan
ley was ordered to command the
mine sweeper Lark. This activity
took him to the North Sea for
the removal of the North Sea
Mine Barrage. For the efficient
and workmanlike completion of
this hazardous assignment,. Lt.
Com. Stanley received the Navy
Cross.
"After thjrty-flve years of
loyal and spirited service, he
was placed in a retired status in
19il. but with the happening ol
events as history has related, Lt.
Com. Stanley has never been
out of the navy, and his services
and experiences have been ex
tensive and varied.
Live in Medford -
"Lt. Com. Stanley and his
gracious wife make their home
in Medford, Oregon. Besides his
own contribution to the navy
they have sent two sons into the
service as well. Both sons have
the rank of lieutenant (jg), hav
ing graduated from ROTC at the
University of Washington. One
son is now a fighter pilot at
tached to one of the newest
carriers. The other son, after
surviving a sinking, has re
turned to a new destroyer and
is busy with his brother carry
ing on the fighting traditions of
the navy. Traditions which they
have justly inherited from their
father's splendid fifty years of
faithful service.
Wife In War, Too
The Stanley home is on the
Crater Lake highway at the
edge of town. Mrs. Stanley is re
membered by many friends in
the valley as the former Gladys
Curry. During the first world
war the then Miss Curry enlist
ed in the navy's Yoemanettes
and was stationed at Bremerton,
Wash., where she met her hus
band. Her sister is Mrs. C. H.
Putney of Ashland.
The two- sons, Donald and
Harry, both graduated from
Medford senior high school,
Harry in 1937. and Donald in
1939. : . .

HEIL ROOSEVELT!
London, Oct. 29 (U.PJ
Tech. Sgt. Norman Goodwin
ot Bradford, Mass., among
the American airmen re
patriated from Germany this
week, said today that he was
punished in a German prison
hospital for heiling President
Roosevelt.
' "I was walking through the
ward when a German patient
sat up in bed and said, 'Amer
ican swine,' " Goodwin said.
"I replied, 'that's right. Heil
Roosevelt!' "
Goodwin said he was repri
manded severely and, among
other things, deprived of the
privilege of taking a bath for
several weeks.
grits made of barley," Williams
said.
"We looked forward to cab
bage days because anyone can
cook cabbage, even German
cooks. We usually saved the
potatoes for supper tea, as the
British called it which we
usually had about 5:30."
From 1 to p. m. the prison
ers had to stay in their bunks,
reading or talking in low tones,
he said. Sometimes they could
sneak to a fellow prisoner's
bunk for card or chess game.
Late in the day they split up the
food sent in by the Red Cross.
"If it hadn't been for 'the Red
Cross parcels, we would have
starved," he said. "We formed
what was known as combines
of five men to pool the parcels.
If a man had a bad stomach the
others in the combine would let
him have the things which help
ed him most.
Scant Rations
' "The Germans gave us rations
of a small teacup of beet sugar
weekly and a fifth of a pound of
margarine. I was lucky to be in
the best combine in the hospital
with New Zealander who
made meat rolls with the
tinned meat from the parcels
and the potatoes.
"The Germans kept a elose
check of tins of food so that no
body could store them up for an
escape."
Every day, he said, was Just
like the day before with the
Germans ordering all' lights out
promptly at 8:39 p. m.

SUT ANOTHt SOND TODAY
By James McGllncy .
United Press Staff Correspondent
Somewhere -in England, Oct.
29 (U.R) The day in a German
hospital prisons begins with
Nazi guards .growling "raus mit
you" and ends with prisoners
dividing Red Cross parcels to
supplement a starvation, diet,
Staff Sgt. Milton Williams,' a
maimed American veteran from
Omaha, Neb., said today.
"It's life like that makes you
madder than Hell when you hear
people back home griping about
conditions," Williams said. "Peo
ple who gripe should see what it
is like in Germany. In prison
you really learn respect for
human rights. . '
Half of Leg Gone -
Williams, who lost half of one
leg when he bailed out of a Fly
ing Fortress last April 17 dur
ing the bombing of Bremen, is a
sandy-haired former construc
tion engineer. His wife, Velma,
is an orchestra leader.
Potatoes and one other vege
table and black potato bread
were about all the prisoners
were given by the Germans,
Williams said, adding that with
out the food parcels sent in by
the Red Cross, they would have
starved. .
The German .orison camo from
which Williams had just return
ed is the Stalag 9-C near Obser-
maasfled. The .hospital was
staffed by the British, who were
hampered in their work by Ger
man shortages of gauze and
drugs.
Roused at 0 A.M.
Williams said the German
guards, all ot whom either were
old men, or young wounded sol
diers, came through the wards
at 6 a. m. shouting in high gut
tural pidgin English for the
prisoners to get up.
After awakening, the prison
ers followed the British habit
of making tea. Those who could
walk brought tea to those who
couldn't. After tea they washed
and shaved. -v
The prisoners, he said, were
allowed to walk freely around
the hospital or go into the e
ercise yard below the hospital
which is a limestone building
formerly used as an agricultural
school. 1
The yard, Williams said, was
enclosed by a barbed wire bar
ricade. Six feet inside was a trip
wire with signs warning the
prisoners they were liable to he
shot if they got nearer the bar
ricade. Guards checked the
prisoners four times a day and
frequently during the night to
prevent escape.
Spuds for Breakfast
"About eleven we were served
a German breakfast potatoes
and one vegetable which would
either be spinach, cabbage or
