AWARDED DFC FOR ON RAID Medford Bombardier Revives Flack-Wounded Pilots of B-17, Enables Safe Return An Eighth Air Force Bomber Station, England The- distin guished flying cross has been awarded First Lieut. Louis N. Iven, 20, of Medford, Ore., bom bardier on an eighth air force B-17 Flying Fortress, for quick ly reviving the unconscious nilot and co-pilot of his plane during1 a Dombing attack on a target near Nucort, France, and en abling them to fly the bomber back to its base In England. The bomber, attacking a Ger man strong point in support of allied ground operations, was hit by enemy anti-aircraft fire while over the target. Both the pilot and co-pilot were wounded and dazed from the flak blow, but the plane was on "automatic pilot" for the bomb run and con tinued on its course. . Lt. Iven gave the co-pilot first aid, and brought him to con sciousness so that he could take over the controls of the plane. The bombardier then put his own oxygen mask on the pilot, whose mask had been blown away by the flak burst, and re vived him. Holds Other Honors -The official citation accom panying the DFC award com mented on the "courageous de votion to duty" by Lt. Iven, who also holds the air medal with two oak leaf clusters for "meri torious achievement" while on bombing attacks against nazi military and industrial installa tions. His heavy bombardment September 27 Is "Victory Fleet Day." On this day, under War Ship ping Administration sponsor ship, the United States honors the gallant service of the Amer ican Merchant Marine its ships and the men who run them. They have built and main tained the supply lines to Vic tory. Standard of California is proud to salute them and to tell a little of what they have done. Appropriately, September 27 is the third anniversary of the launching of the first Lib erty Shin, the S. S. PATRICK HENRY. Despite all of war's hazards she still is on the job "delivering the goods." Since she was launched, more than 3,600 American merchant vessels have followed her down the ways. Their job has been, night and day, to see that every- s thing we at home can produce is landed in the hands of our front line fighting men at the time and place to do the most damage to the enemy. Standard of California operates a great fleet of tankers, so we naturally know best the tanker men and their ships. You can take it for granted that they will get their oil and gasoline through or be sunk in the attempt. But, they do a lot more than carry the products for which tankers were built. Extra decks have been built and on them are carried complete planes that go into the air within a few hours after the tankers make a land fall. These extra loads provide the air replacements for many a Pacific Island base and plane carrier at the strategic time. Their decks carry PT boats complete with crews. They haul guns and amphibious tanks, readv to go overside into action. And then, although the tankers swing low in the water, thev frequently throw out cable and haul along behind a barge loaded with even more gaso line and oil, or the other mate rials of war. Yes, all honor to these ships and their officers and men. They, too, arc at the beachheads. wit4 i. mm 9 dtmm4 iiSM ,1 mHMjiii i in mwmmm Scores IVpIcal of devastation wrought by hurricane which battered eastern seaboard, raking $30,000,000 dosage and cores of lives, is this waterlront view of Asbury Park.

Keep Asking tor it by Name Snider Bricker and Truman Address American Lesion Convention Chicago, Sept. 18 0J.R) American business and industry must be "unshackled" in the post-war era to guarantee and provide Jobs for returning war veterans to prevent a repetition of the manner In which the Job was done after the last war. Gov. John W. Bricker of Ohio today told veterans of 1918. Speaking before the American Legion convention, the Repub lican vice presidential nominee said that failure now to plan for the reabsorption of approximate ly 12,000,000 veterans in the na tion's economic life will mean that they fought only for a "bat tlefield Illusion." "But we shall not succeed If we rely only upon good inten tions, government doles, and public works," Bricker said. "Government must help. Gov ernment will help. The G.I. bill of rights is a good beginning. We must make it work. But that will not solve the problem; and that, I know, is not all our men and women in the armed service want." Bricker, an army chaplain in the last war, pointed out that when soldiers were drafted or enlisted they were guaranteed, under the selective service act, their old jobs upon their return. Now, he said, "certain sources" are saying that it will be a mis take to get jobs for veterans by taking them away from someone elsc "that seniority rights are property rights, and are more sacred than job priorities for our soldiers." "I do not share that view," he declared. "To accept it is to break our covenant with those who now fight and die for us. All veterans are entitled to have their jobs back and no individ ual, group, or organization dare deny that right." In a strong bid for Legion support, Bricker said that vet erans of the first World war felt the "real blow of ingratitude" when under the "guise of econ omy when there was no econ omy in government" their pen sions were cut and benefits vetoed, and the president told them that the simple fact of a man wearing a uniform did not place him "in a special class." Reiterating a program outlin ed in his Parkersburg, W. Va., speech Friday, Bricker said that a "climate of opportunity" must be created through full produc tion after the war, rationing and price-fixing must be terminated as quickly as possible, taxes re duced, and small business en couraged. Our economic society Is not tottering In old age," Brirkcr said. "It Is simply paralyzed by the restraints and shackles that are fastened on it. Unshackle it and we shall find it strong and full of promise for the future.1 DAIRY HERD SOLD Roseburg, Sept. 18 Sale of the fine dairy herd and equip ment owned by Dr. E. B.

DistrlbuUd bf Dairy & Produce Company Chicago, Sept. 18 (U.R) Sen. Harry S. Truman, of Missouri, Democratic candidate for vice president, told the American Legion today that the organiza tion faces one of its greatest responsibilities that of seeing that discharged veterans are properly placed in jobs. "Our responsibility is to helpjto halt a transportation strike. see that discharged soldiers who have done our fighting for us are placed properly in industry in farming, and in small busi ness," Truman said. "I want to emphasize the small business angle. Small business is the bul wark of free enterprise in this country, about which we hear so much talk. "The American Legion can make one of the greatest con tributions to the welfi.ro of this great republic, if it assumes that responsibility. And, I am sure it will do just that." Truman outlined the G.I. bill of rights, which he described as "the most comprehensive serv icemen's relief legislation ever passed in the history of this country." He said the bill "will pre vent n repetition of the tragic mistakes under which World War I veterans suffered and will guarantee just treatment to our veterans." He told of visiting hospitals at Mare Island and Hingham. Utah, where he saw "marvelous demonstrations of what is being done along the line of rehabilita tion," one of the important rights stressed by the G.I. bill. Truman also described the war department's demobilization plan. He said that first, of course, the war must be won "and thoroughly and completely this time. "But when the war ends in Germany, men will bo available immediately for discharge from the armed services." Truman said that, In all prob ability, "the country's affairs will be In the hands of veterans, just as those affairs were, after the war for independence, in the hands of Revolutionary veterans and of World War I veterans to a very great extent now. "I am confident that the things for which this great re public stands will be safe In the hands of the men who were willing to -fight and die, If -necessary, to prevent the spread of totalitarianism, tyranny and dictatorship. "They fought to make that greatest of all documents for government, the Constitution of the United States, stand as our ideal, and I have enough con fidence in them to know that they will continue to uphold and defend it for future genera-; tions." , I St. Augustine, Fla., the oldest ! existing white settlement in -North Amcrira, was settled by the Spaniards in 1505. j FALSE TEETH Do Rock, Slido or Slip? ; FASTEETII, nr.
