The 22 page letter written In diary form told of conditions while traveling aboard the USS Brookings, which was flagship of a convoy of ships designated to bring occupation troops to China. The Brookings sailed through the Pacific to the China sea and through the Yellow sea toward Chcfoo, China, where members of the sixth marine division were to land, but Join ing with the 22nd marines at Tsingtao because of civil strife at the scheduled destination. Describing Tsiangtao, Cpl. Jones wrote in part: "The men wear regular busi ness suits, what look like house shoes to me, American style derbies, straws, and Chinese hats, and long robes over their suits. The streets are very dirty and every street is thronged with people. And I think at least half the men of Tsingtao are engaged in the rickshaw-pulling business. The richer people have cars, of all makes, and make about forty miles an hour down the crowd ed streets, blowing 'their horns all the way. To attract trade each merchant either has a gong he bangs or a guy that squats at the door and yells all day long. False Teeth Attract "One of the ASCO men took his false teeth out while down town and lt took six Chinese police to break up the mob that gathered. They kept trying to get him to take them out again. "The school Is a four story building made of marble, granite and native stone. It Is built in typical German style with, high narrow windows, carved oak doors and very high ceilings. It is far more modern than most American high schools." Cpl. Jones enlisted in the marine corps in April, 1942, shortly before graduating from. Talent high school, and embark ed for overseas last April. He was a former carrier for the Mail-Tribune. CHARGESBY PAC CIO Offshoot' Needlessly Alarmed Says Chairman of FCC Frequencies Clnalng time fni Classified Aril 8:30 m Too Late In Classify 12:15 o m Washington. Nov., 9 flJ.R) Paul A. Parter, chairman of the Federal Communications com mission, today denied charges made by the National Citizens Political Action committee mat the granting of licenses for fre quency modulation stations with out public hearings would leud to monopoly by newspaper in terests and the exclusion of veterans, small businessmen, farm groups and trade unions. C. B. Baldwin, executive vice chairman of the National Citi zens PAC, sent Porter a tele cram of protest on Oct. 4, short ly after FCC conditionally grant ed the first batch of 64 FM ap plications, On Nov. 1 the com mission conditionally granted an other 65 applications. CIO Alarmed Baldwin's telegram, released today by Porter along with his reply, said that the FCC's grant ing of licenses without public hearings "ignores the demands of many individuals and or ganizations for greater caution" in granting public licenses. "We are particularly alarm ed," the telegram continued, "over the granting of licenses to companies affiliated with or controlled by newspapers, tear ing this monopoly in many com munities of the media for dis seminating public information and opinion is a grave threat to freedom of speech and press." Porter in his answer, dated Nov. 7, assured Baldwin that "in each of these cases the grent was made only after the commis sion was satisfied. . . . That a grant would serve the public in terest." . Fields Not Closed The grants which have been made, Porter said, are for sta tions in uncongested areas and frequencies still remain avail able for assignment to future applicants. "The commission," Porter con tinued, "unreservedly welcomes the submission of any facts bear ing on a particular applicant's qualifications to operate its pro posed station in the public in terest." He pointed out that FCC early in 1941 held a lengthy public hearing to consider the fact tnat so many newspapers were enter ing the radio field. (In January, 1944, the commis sion dismissed the proceedings, deciding not to adopt any gen eral rule with respect to news paper ownership of radio stations "in light of grave legal and policy questions involved.")

Oregon was one of the first States to have rural delivery of mail. The route, south of Salem, was established on an experimental basis in 1898. The success of this and similar routes in other parts of the country led to the exten sion of R.F.D. to every part of America. Projects of this nature are as vital a part of Grange policy as better agriculture itself. That is why 28,000 progressive farmers belong to the Oregon State Grange why membership con tinues to grow why the Grange is a dominant force for social progress. loformatioo about the purpose and accomplishment! of the Ore goo State Grange is contained In a booklet "Let's Look at the Record".
