r J IIGHT MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, Wot. 7, 1844 DAV IN ANNUAL DRIVE 10 SELL FORGET-ME-NOTS The Disabled American Vet erans of the World War will hold their annual "Forget-me-not" drive here Thursday, Fri day and Saturday. Headquar ters for those engaged in selling the little flowers will be main tained In the Hotel Allen. It Is the hope of the D.A.V. committee headed by Chairman C. R. Reynolds, that a substan tial sum may be raised through the sale of forget-me-nots that the work of caring for disabled veterans may be carried on ef fectively. Last year's drive was as successful as the committee had hoped for, and they are hoping to have the biggest sale the chapter has ever held this year. Back of the forget-me-not campaign is a most worthy pur pose, according to the chairman. While the immediate needs of the disabled veterans are promptly and effectively taken care of, It is our rehabilitation program of services that we are greatly interested in. No mat ter how badly one of our com rades may be disabled, utterly lncaplcitating him, he lives in hopes of being restored to use ful citizenship at some time. While he gratefully accepts the help we give him he looks for ward to the day when he can again take his place in the work ing world and contribute his share to the general welfare. To finance the needs of this rehab iliation service the annual forget-me-not sale has been insti tuted. The very lexistence of the Disabled American Veter ans organization and its serv ices to the unfortunate partici pants in the World War, de pends upon the success of these forget-me-not sales. , April 22, the anniversary of the famous "run" for homes into Oklahoma territory, is a legal holiday in Oklahoma. SEEK WRECKAGE Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 4 U.PJ Navy crash and salvage boats equipped with grappling hooks probed the waters of St. John's river here today for the wreckage of a navy transport and fighter plane which crashed yesterday and were believed to have carried 18 persons to death. The river is about three miles wide one of its widest stretches at the point where the acci dent was believed to have hap pened, thus hampering salvage operations. The navy said 17 persons were on the air transport service plane while only the pilot was in the fighter. Further official details of the accident were lack ing, and names of all casualties were withheld. Wave Enlistments Release Many Men WAVES enlisted from Oregon communities in the two years the program has been open have released enough men to man seven modern destroyers or a heavy cruiser or an aircraft car rier, according to a report just received by Herb Crain of the Medford recruiting station, which handles WAVES applica tions in this area. The goal of 100,000 set for the WAVES program by the end of 1944 is rapidly being reached. New quotas after December 1 are provided for replacement en listments only, which will be a limited number. Truman Refuses To Estimate Majority Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 7. (U.R) Sen. Harry S. Truman said today that "there's no doubt about the outcome" of the elec tion, but declined to hazard a guess on the majority he expects the voters will give him and President Roosevelt. "I have never posed as a po litical porgnosticator and I see no reason why I should start now," Truman said, "but there's no doubt about the outcome." LEGION TO SHOW Starting Wednesday night Medford Post No. S, American Legion, will show a series of moving pictures furnished by the army service forces. The films, of 90 different subjects, are all actual war scenes taken in the last eight yeajs of axis aggression. The two films to be shown to morrow night are 'The Nazis' Strike," showing the shrewd blow at Austria, and the con quest of Czechoslovakia and Po land. One of the features of this film which makes it truly un forgetable is the inclusion of the horror pictures made by the Ger mans during their pillaging of Warsaw. This particular picture became famous throughout the world as the Germans gave spec ial showings of It in their em bassies and ministries in such neutral countries as Turkey, Norway, Spain and the Latin American countries. The film has a way of weakening a peace able country's power to resist: "See .what we did to Poland and stay put. It could happen to you." The second picture is "Film Communique No. 4." It covers three subjects, aerial techniques, showing action during raids by U. S. fliers on Hansa Bay, We wak and Rabaul; Negro engineer troops rebuilding the Munda air strip and the Sth army from Salerno through devasted Italian cities across the raging Volturno river. Commander Harry Young urges all Legionnaires to see the first of this series of films. Regular business to be taken up at the meeting will be final reports on Armistice day observ ance. All committee's have been busy and all plans are ready, A short resume of the day's program includes: 8:30 a. m. Legion breakfast at Holland .Hotel. . 11 a. m. Parade starting at city park. ' 12 noon lunch' !n the Elks basement. 9 p. m. Dance at Merrick's ball room and Dreamland. Enemy Tortures Of Civilians Told As Villages Wiped Out San Francisco, Nov. 7. (U.R) Two unidentified villages in Java and Sumatra islands In The Netherlands East Indies have been "wiped out" by the Japan ese "on the same pattern the Germans destroyed Lidive," the official Netherlands news agency Aneta asserted today. A ColonTbo, Ceylon, dispatch from Aneta correspondent Ralph Coniston citing official state ments by headquarters of Neth erlands forces of the far east said inhabitants of both villages were machinegunned and the towns razed. The dispatch also described "a number of cases of savage mis treatment of prisoners of war and the civilian population." Alleged tortures, Coniston said, included "burial alive, forc ing victims to drink soapy water and then jumping on their stom achs . . . lifting persons by the feet and banging their heads on the ground, starvation, failure to provide medical attention . . . and bayonetting of women through the breasts."
