The all-soldier cast of "The Call of Freedom," a wartime playlet written by two service men, and the 30-piece Camp White band rang up a total of 3950,000 for the benefit of the Fifth War Loan drive, according to incomplete figures. The troupe played before capacity houses in Medford, Grants Pass, Roseburg, Ashland and Klamath Falls in Oregon, and Yreka in California. ' Telling the story of a battle scared, combat-wise soldier who returns from overseas to a dis illusioningly complacent home land, "The Call of Freedom" struck its audiences with an em phatic impact. Its three scenes depicted the veteran's exper iences on the battle front. The show was well fortified vith an experienced cast, many of whom had been professional artists before entering the serv ice. The authors are Cpl. Frank Farnham and Cpl. Lawrence Marcus of Stockton, Calif. Cpl. Dean Nelson, director and narrator of the play, and Tech. 5gt.

C, assistant director for pro gram development of the War Manpower Commission, said to day that the ability of Portland area shipyards to increase pro duction sufficient to meet cur rent ship delivery schedules, de pended upon immediate recruit ment of 11,500 out-of -state work men, plus "everyone staying on the lob." Faber, who is here to confer with employment officers and WMC officials, said that factors combining to make the manpow er problems more critical than at any other time since Pearl Harbor appeared to be news of munitions cutbacks in various parts of the country and a gen eral feeling that the war is near ly over. "The four major industries on the Pacific coast the manufac ture of ships and planes, and the production of foodstuffs and lumber are, and will remain, in top priority classification for a long time to come," Faber said. ARE GUESTS OF Americans Boast Secret Weapons For Berlin Drive Camp White Over a hundred army servicemen and Wacs from Camp White were convinced that the first two letters in Gin ger Rogers' name stand for GI, in lusty vocals and riding after roasting wieners, engaging around in a jeep with the movie star at her Rogue River ranch Friday night. The party was arranged by Lt. Donald Boggs of the special ser vice branch of the Western Per sonnel Reassignment Center, cli maxed a 12-mile hay ride from the camp. Ginger was every bit GI, to the letter and in the spirit. Every soldier wanted to know more about her, and Ginger wanted to know more about the doughboys and one in particular Pvt. Jack Briggs, her husband, who has been with the marines in the southwest Pacific for several months. Somewhere, somehow, she had heard there was a soldier in the crowd who had seen her husband only recently at his overseas sta tion. And somewhere, somehow, someone fetched that soldier out of the crowd and brought him to her. Biggest Thrill Listening to him tell about that coccaslon provided her with her biggest thrill of the evening. It left her a bit misty-eyed. Dur ing those few moments you saw her, not as a Hollywood movie star, but as a serviceman's wife a girl who wanted to know more about her guy. Two hugs bonfires lighted the river bank and glowed brightly over the circle of happy, content ed GI Joes and Janes, roasting wieners, munching on sand- I wiches, sampling the potato sal ad, sipping couee oreweci lrom an open fire, having loads of fun and helping to make happier a girl who wanted to know more about her own GI Joe.

Allied Supreme Headquarters, London, July 10 (U.PJ The Americans have several new se cret weapons to use in their march to Berlin, Maj. Gen. Har-, ry cemon aayier, cniex oranance officer for the European theater, disclosed today. Among them, he said, is a gun with a range so great that the usual law speed observation planes are useless as "eyes" for it and regular fighters will be used instead. "We recently opened fire for the first- time with the longer range weapon against German headquarters," Sayler said. "A pursuit plane was used for ob servation. The fliers saw the Ger man personnel trying to get away in cars and went down and shot them up." Some of the new weapons have been used successfully in Normandy, Sayler said, but oth ers are being held in reserve and details of them have not been released.
