Fujita is the only known Japanese pilot to bomb this nation during the war. Now, in a goodwill gesture, he, his wife and son are guests of this community for a week high lighted by the Brookings Azalea Festival last week end. Fujita will present the sword to Brookings at a spec ial banquet in his honor to ' night. Traditionally, the heir ' loom, which he describes as "about 600 or 700 years old . . . and one of my most treas ured possessions," would go to - his son. Fujita wore the sword when he flew a submarine - based plane and dropped fire bombs into forests near here in 1942. The bombs did little damage. The Fujitas attended a round of events during the festival, including a parade, a barbecue, flower show, lunch- Three Pass Exam as Securities Salesmen Three local men have passed the National Association of Securities Dealers examina tion preliminary to being li censed as securities salesmen.

Purple Heart Order Conducts Meeting The Rogue Valley chapter of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, which has been reorganized in recent weeks, held its first meeting Satur day at the Veterans Adminis tration domiciliary, White City.

Orfly One S.O.B. Cornerstone for Congressional Building Brings Complications mm By DICK WEST Washington - (UPD - The cornerstone hat been laid for a $100 million congressional office build ing being erec ted on Capitol Hill. For rea sons having no direct con nection with the ceremony, this started me to think ing about the west 1 a i e KODen Benchley. Benchley once wrote that when poeple got to know him well they called him "Sweet Old Bob" and sometimes just the initials. So it is with the congres sional office buildings. Peo ple who know them well have learned to recognize them by their initials. There are approximately 20 members of the House and Senate who might be called "Sweet Old Bob." But as the congressional telephone direc tory figures things, Capitol Hill has only one S. O. B. That designation goes to the Senat Office Building, which standi next to the Naw Senate Office Build ing, which is listed In the directory a N.S.O.B. Until recently, S.O.B. and N.S.O.B. had their counter. parts on the house of the Cap itol in H.O.B. and N.H.O.B. Then the nomenclature began to get complicated. Work was started on the building which was dedicated Thursday, posing the prob lem of what it should be called. Some began to refer to it as T.H.O.B. (third House Of fice Building). Others called it N.N.H.O.B. (new new House Office Building). I personal ly favored S.A.H.O.B. (still an. other House Office Building). Capitol architect J. George Stewart finally settled the matter temporarily by desig nating it as A.H.O.B. (addi tional House Office Building). After the death of Speak er Sam Rayburn, sentiment developed for naming A. H. O. B, in hit honor. This prompted suggestions that H. O. B. and N. H. O. B. also be named for former speakers. Some proposed that H. O. B. be changed to M. H. O. B. in honor of Frederick Muhlen berg, the first speaker. Others thought that N.H.O.B. should be called P. H. O. B. in honor of James K. Polk. Ultimately, however, the House voted to name H. O. B., N. H. O.B. and A. H. O. B. for the three men who were speakers when work was started on the buildings. Besides Rayburn (A. H. O. B. ), they were Joseph G. Can non (H. O. B.) and Nicholas Longworth (N. H. O. B ). So now we have R. H. O. B., C. H. O. B. and N. H. O. B which is going to take a lot of getting used to. It seems to me the easiest thing to do would be to drop the "H" and simply call them "Cob," "Lob" and Rob." Police Duel Across Canal in Berlin Berlin - (UPD - Western and Communist police fought a gun duel across a border canal within sight of afternoon strollers Sunday after the Reds shot down a fleeing refu gee. None of the policemen was hurt in the exchange of 60 shots, but East German offi cials reported the refugee died of hla wounds In a hospital. The gun battle was the sec ond within a week between police of West and East Ber lin, and followed by a day an attempt to blow up parts of the Communist-built wall.
