Newspaper Page TextEKJHT MBDrORD MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, June B, 1946 T TELLS OF JURY SUMMONED IN DAMAGE SUIT Describing the desolation and ruin of Germany. Staff Sgt. L,. L, Campbell told of a "victory tour" in a recent letter to his wife who resides at 510 North Bartlett street. "I wouldn't have missed it for the world." wrote the sergeant. "The trip was made by plane and at times we were flying about tree top level so we really got to see Just what happened over there. It still doesn't seem possible that human power could completely annihilate a city the way most of the German cities have been. They are aDsoiuieiy destroyed and look as if a mon strous hand had just wiped them away. I am sure that Germany now knows what total war means because, believe me, she. has really seen it." He described the trip In de tail, saying that they saw evi dence of the ground battles in Belgium and that Brussels didn't appear to be badly damaged but that as they arrived over uer- many they began to see real damage. "The first large city was Essen, home of the Krupp armament works and it was hard to believe what we saw. Here was once a large, proud in dustrial city. It spreads along the winding river and is very large. Now nothing remains but a few piles of brick and twisted steel. The city has absolutely been removed from the map. "We crossed the whole Ruhr and the story is the same every where. Every city either is gone or practically so. There are hardly any people left in these cities. A few can be seen among tlie ruins find a few in the main streets, which have been cleaned out." ' The sergeant wrote that the tour continued over Munster, Hanover, Brunswick, Kassel, and added that not even a wall was left in Kassel. Sgt Campbell also-dcscribed the mountains and beautiful farms seen between cities and wrote "I can't under stand why Germany can't turn her immense power to living a descent, normal life." Sgt. Campbell, with the Eighth air force, has been overseas 25 months. The circuit court petit jury has been called for next Monday to hear the trial of the damage suit of James H. Nunes against Maur ice J. Woodson and Alonzo R Harden. Nunes seeks $15,000 personal injury damages and $2,576.40 special damages as the result of a logging truck collision on the Dead Indian road last July 1. The truck in which Nunes was riding went off the embankment causing logs to fall on the cab. As the result of in jury Nunes sustained the loss of an arm. Circuit Judge Dal M.

Farrell, Jr., said today. They may vote with the absen tee ballots up to within five days of the election. A total of 573 applications for servicemen's ballots have been received in Farrell's office for the election. Farrell pointed out that there are a number of conventions scheduled for the latter part of June, and that many voters might be away from their poll ing places. Farrell repeated earlier state ments advocating the passing of the $10,000,000 building fund at the special election. Money Available "It is important that voters understand they are not being asked to authorize collection of additional taxes in this election he said. "Oregon now has the $10,000,000 needed to finance the building program in income tax surplus, but under the state's constitution, this money cannot be expended unless the people authorize the five mill tax levy. The fact that the building pro gram is one that Is needed to enable over-crowded state insti tutions to meet demands on their facilities was emphasized by the secretary of state, who added that the work would provide sound employment after the war.

Underwater Gym Proves Helpful To Paralysis Victims Johannesburg, S. A. (U.R) Underwater bicycles, wall-bars and trapezes are being used in a submerged gymnasium for pa ralysis patients at the Cottesloe Military hospital. One patient who suffered a back injury at El Alamein and others suffering from poliomye litis have been treated with the underwater exercise devices with good results, according to the superintendent. An. underwater boat allows for observation of the patients without distortion. The patient injured at El Ala mein, the bath superintendent said, is now able to walk some 80 yards. When he arrived at the hospital for treatment in the baths last October, he was un able to walk at all. He can walk along the path, dive into the pool and swim about 100 yards. Other patients show similar improvement. After some mild exercises with the aid of floats, patients are often able to exercise on the bicycle or the trapeze suspended from the diving board.
