Sun-Bleached Skull
Might Be Klamath
Air Corps Officer
Phoenix. Ariz.. 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

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.
Skull Pierced
William Murphy, chief of the
FBI bureau here, said a dental
examination of the skull's teeth
by an air force surgeon at Davis
Monthan field, Tucson, showed a
marked resemblance to Smith's
army dental record.
An FBI laboratory report said
the skull was pierced by a bullet
and had been exposed to tne ele
ments for several vcars.
Smith entered the service In
July, 1042. Corps records showed
he was the only lieutenant listed

would be scheduled as soon as ne

A new machine claimed to be
able to produce enough artificial
fog to guard fruit orchards and
fields against frost for seven
hours at a stretch is undergoing
tests near here.
The Bavarian state agricul

Karlsluid, which developed the
machine, reported that basic
fuels used were hydrochloric and
sulphuric acids, resulting in an
artificial fog mixture "already
proved in war."
They added that the real nov

Red Cross Aid In Many Fields
Told By Fund Campaign Leader
American Red Cross home ser-,
vice offers counselling and fam
ily plan ning, communications
and reporting, referral to other
agencies, assistance in obtaining
government benefits and finan
cial assistance for war veterans,
servicemen and their depend
ents, according to Frank J. 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.
Two camplete layettes were
furnished as well as two sets of
children's school clothing and
clothing for unemployed veter
ans. Since 1942 Jackson county
Red Cross home service has
acted on more than 8.000 new
cases, Van Dyke said. He stated
that this service should be meas
ured in human dimensions rather
than in terms of money spent or
cases filed. The whole philoso
phy of Red Cross translated into
one service is home service, ac
cording to Van Dyke.
Veterans Aided
Each day several or all of the
five major aids of home service
are offered to 10 to 15 veterans,
servicemen or their dependents
who call at the office at the
courthouse.
The office has helped a hos
pitalized veteran with an invalid
wife, a young veteran unable to
