PORTLAND CAFES
:' GET UNEXPECTED
"BONUS" POINTS
Portland, Ore., Aug. 7 (U.R)
More than 800 Portland restau
rants today received unexpected
'bonus ration points in a start
ling move which trade circles
said would lead to solving the
critical food situation existing in
other cities.
A volunteer ration board mem
' ber, W. S. Dirker, made the dis
covery in OPA regulations which
permitted the return of hundreds
of ration points 'taken away"
from restaurants after the Christ
mas day ration stamp cancella
tion. Two Months Ration
His insistence on living up to
an OPA regulation permitting
return of the points an order
. subsequently cancelled gave
the hard-pressed restaurants the
equivalent to their January-February
allotment. This means
that a typical restaurant would
receive about two months' ra
tions in processed foods and one
month on meats and fats.
, Dirker said the OPA opposed
returning the points on grounds
the amendment to the regula
tions had not been discovered be
fore it expired May 1. Dirker
said he wanted to be honest with
the restaurants and had exact
records on each to justify the
'bonus" payments. About 400
already have received their
points and the other 400 are in
the mail. The board has juris-
ditcion over all
of wpst.iri
Portland, including the main
business district.
Others To Act
The bonus payments are for
the point values existing at time
of the seizure, not reduced fig
ures as of now, particularly on
sugar.
As the result of Dirker's board
action, it was understood the
OPA had ordered other boards
to act similarly in returning
points.
Dirker said he was certain
that similar situations in Olym
pia, San Francisco, and other
cities could be solved in the same
way.
Larry Hilaire, chairman of the
OPA restaurant advisory com
mittee, said Dirker's action will
enable restaurants to operate
"without resort to the black
market" because all restaurants
were point broke before the
gold-mine of returned points
was received. He said it would
end the epidemic of restaurants
closing for 'vacations or renova
tions" when lack of points was,
the real reason. '

LIFTING OF SIEGE
Buenos Aires, Aug. 7 (U.R)
Opponents of the Farrell govern
ment today cautiously hailed as
a step toward normalcy its lift
ing of the state of siege that has
! prevailed in Argentina since
1941.
"It will become a real step
when three other indispensable
rcqui5't" "e fulfilled," Amer.
ico Ghioldi, editor of tne
socialist newspaper La Vanguar-
dia and a leader of the opposi
tion, said.
Ghioldi listed the three re
quisites as:
"1. Elimination of an official
(government) candidate from the
forthcoming elections.
"2. A halt in the use of pub
lie funds to publicize a member
of the cabinet and aid him in
fighting his political enemies.
(The opposition has accused
Vice President Col. Juan Peron,
strong man of the government,
of misuse of public funds)-
"3 Fixing of a definite date
for general and total elections."
President Gen. Edelmiro Far
rell and Interior Minister Hor
tensio Quijano signed the decree
last night lifting the state of
siege, effective immediately.

IN CRASH OF
IY JET PLANE
Burbank, Calif., Aug 7 (U.R)
Maj. Richard I. Bong, America's
greatest ace, was killed in the
flaming crash of a jet plane from
which he desperately tried to
jump clear, investigators said to
day. Bong, 24-year-old Congression
al Medal of Honor holder, died
yesterday as he struggled to free
his heavy clothing from the nar
row escape hatch of the P-80
shooting star he was testing. He
had almost balled out when the
crippled aircraft exploded.
Plan Shattered
The force of the blast, which
shattered the plane into pieces
less than three feet square, shot
Bong's body clear of the plane.
He had pulled the ripcord of his
parachute, and its silken folds
swirled about the crumpled body
as flames swept over it.
'Bong was brought home for
"safe" duty after he became
America's all time air ace by
shooting down 40 of the enemy
without a scratch.
"Safe" duty was testing the jet
propelled P-80, the army's new
est fighter model.
Witnesses did not agree on the
cause of the crash. One army
flier said Bong overshot the
Lockheed landing field. Another
said something appeared to fall
out of the tail of the rocket-like
ship.
Mrs. Marjorle Bong, his 21
year-oid widow, said he had no
premonition of death.
"He said he was going to take
me to movie when he got
home," she said.
Won Many Honors
Bong, who fought his twin
engined Lockheed fighter
througt the toughest battles of
the Southwest Pacific, also wore
the distinguished flying cross,
the air medal with 17 oak leaf
clusters, the distinguished ser
vice cross and the silver star. In
all he held 26 decorations.
His death left Lt. Col. John C.
Meyer, of Forrest Hills, N. Y.,
the nation's leading ace with
371-4 planes to his credit, the
war department said,
