Mar. 25 U.R) A bullet-pierced, sun-bleached skull found last December near Bisbee, Ariz., is believed to be that of a Klamath Falls, Ore., ir corps lieutenant missing over four years, the FBI said here todav. Rovce Eugene Smith has been listed in army records as AWOL from his post at Douglas air oase, near Bisbee, since Nov. 10, 1945 He was the son of William J. Smith and was 23 years old when reported missing. Children playing In a gravel nit near the now-abandoned base three months ago discovered the skull and other human bones, a shirt with first lieutenant' bars attached and a flight cap.

Van Dyke, county Red Cross fund drive chairman, who yesterday described last Friday as a typical home service day at the county chapter office. Two applicants called at the office Friday requesting assis tance in filing for government claims for pensions and hospitali zation and help in personal prob lems and asking financial assis tance, Van Dyke reported. Receive Telegrams In addition to these personal interviews, the office had nine telegrams requiring immediate attention for verification of emergency leaves and health' welfare reports back to service men. The messages involved four deaths and five serious illnesses. They came from six states and Alaska.

Since 1942 Jackson county Red Cross home service has acted on more than 8.000 new cases, Van Dyke said.
