Admiral William L. Calhoun,
commander of service force, Pa
cific fleet, as he presented
awards to 44 officers and men in
cluding Nunes.
As for the Pensacola herself,
the admiral said:
"Her record, since the first
day of the war, epitomizes the
unflagging, spirit of the ligbt
forces. In ' mid-Pacific when
Pearl Harbor was attacked,. she
safeguarded the first convoy to
Australia, and without rest or
overhaul has. participated in
every major action up to the
Solomons operations. Her bril
liant work in that area was
climaxed on the night of Novem
ber 30; In the fourth battle of
Savo island in which she took
heavy punishment.
"With flames so serious on
board that her entire mainmast
was a mass of flames, with one
engine room flooded and her
own ammunition exploding, she
saved herself to fight again."
That was the battle in which
Nunes distinguished himself.
Robert C. Nunes is not listed
- In the Klamath county directory,
however, his name appears In
the 1939 census as a resident of
Crater Lake camp, probably the
CCC camp located in the park.
He was bora February 19, 1921,
son, of F. Nunes. The Herald
and' News would appreciate any
further information on Nunes.

Perhaps you have noticed that the prescrip

written in Latin. No doubt you have wondered
why. Prescriptions are written In Latin be
cause Latin is a dead and never changing
language, universally employed In medical
practice. A Latin prescription written In
America er England can be filled in North
Africa, Russia or France, even though the
pharmacist may not know a word of English.
On- the ether hand, no matter where your

FOR DRUGS
GROUP DOUBTS
J
IN MEAT HERE
Doubt that there is a black
market in beef affecting the
meat situation in this district
was expressed Tuesday by mem
bers of the agricultural commit
tee of the chamber of commerce
after holding a meeting for dis
cussion of black market rumors
and a study of milk supply
problems.
Dr. J. C. Hunt, city meat in
spector, Invited to the meeting
for informational purposes, said
that an outside purchaser, who
outbid local sources for one
batch of cattle, is able to get
more value out of a beef carcass
than can be obtained locally and
therefore can offer a higher
price.
Price Allowance
Dr. Hunt said this buyer, who
operates a slaughter house at
Red Bluff, has an elaborate set
up whereby he can utilize virtu
ally all of the carcass, including
horns and bones for tankage
and grease. He also said there
is an OPA grader at Red Bluff,
making it possible to grade some
animals under premium price
brackets set up by OPA. He
said there is no OPA grader
here.
Dr. Hunt said that OPA also
permits a higher price when a
beef is cut up under a method
not generally followed here be
cause of lack of facilities.
Reynolds Called
The black market 'talk here
began when it was reported out
side buyers were paying more
for beef than local' bidders could
offer under OPA ceilings.
After discussing the milk sit
uation here, the chamber group
placed a long distance call to
Secretary Earl. Reynolds of the
chamber, who was in Corvallis,
asking him to go to Salem to a
legislative hearing on the milk
situation.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 VP)
In ah effort to -vert further in
creases in retail milk prices, the
office of price administration
soon will establish nationwide
ceilings on 'he prices farmers re
ceive for fluid milk.
An initial temporary order,
which generally will peg prices
at the highest levels distributors
paid t roducers last month,
will be repl .ced in 60 days by a
permanent regulation. .
Current prices to producers
are "generally favorable, the
OPA said, adding that the price
ceilings would "lessen the pres
sure of uncontrolled producer
prices which have been forcing
advances in retail milk prices to
the public."
The pegged prices, which the
OPA said would be 113 per cent
of parity and the highest produ
cers have received for raw milk
since 1923, will range from $2.75
to $4.80 per hundredweight, ac
cording to the area.
At the time the temporary or
der becomes effective, the agen
cy said it also would C.eci a re
duction of $4 to $8 a ton on al
falfa hay prices in California,
Oregon and Washington to lower
the farmers' feed costs. Steps
already are being taken to re
duce alfalfa prices in other sec

Pleasure Driving
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 9 (P
William M. Jeffers, federal rub

that the nations synthetlo rub

very nicely now" and indicated
that, as far as the rubber sup

be no need to enlarse the 17-

driving Is banned.
Jeffers, here to Inspect a syn

whether there was any reason
why motorists should be. cut to
a basic ration of less than four
gallons a week outside the no-pleasure-driving
region.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 (P)
Asserting the nation already has
under arms "more men than it
can transport and maintain
abroad," Senator Downey (D
Calif.) called today for an imme
diate halt to military inductions.
He said more farm help is
needed to avert "world-wide hun
ger."
Downey told reporters Agri
culture Secretary Claude Wick
ard's testimony before the mili
tary committee yesterday that
he could not guarantee 1943 food
production goals on the basis ot
available farm workers would
bring increased congressional de
mands for a lowering ot military
personnel goals.
Workeri Recruited
As he spoke, Senator Reynolds
(D-N.C), chairman, of the com
mittee, added his voice to the
growing clamor for a reexamina
tion- of military and industrial
manpower demands.
Reynolds said Wlckard told
the committee in executive ses
sion that he was attempting to
recruit upwards of 3,000,000
workers to bring the agricul
tural force up to 12,000,000, but
even if this figure is reached
'there would be such a lack of
experienced personnel among
the recruits, and such a dearth
of farm machinery," that he
could not guarantee production
goals.

committees arranged to hear

chief of staff at a joint session
