crossed their goal line, losing 52
to 7.

IS DESCRIBED BY
L
Experiences aboard a marine
troop ship which sailed from
Sumay Harbor, Territory of
Guam, to Tsingtao, China, from
Sept. 29 to October 16, are con
tained in a letter from Cpl. Earl
Jones, of the sixth marine divi-
sicm,. to his mother, Mrs. Flor
ence Hunter, and family, 1041)
West 11th street.
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.

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.")

MAIL BOXES along country
roads are symbols of a Grange achievement.
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". Contact your local
Grange for copy, or write direct.
