Her' Is tho copy of his letteV: Monday, January 4. I arrived without Incident early this morning, one hour bofore the deadline, my train bolng about 12 hours late. ' Words cannot convey to you how much I enjoyed my trip to Oregon, and especially Klamath Falls. You know this was my first time out to visit' with Americans In almost a year,. You did so much for me. 1 deeply and sinceroly appreciate tho things you did for mo. I shall; never forgot your kindness and sincerity. It Is my prayer O that I am worthy of your con fidence and friendship. On tho train for Mare Island I met soveral sailors and sol diers and they said Klamath Falls was the best place, they ever spent leave. I surely agreo with them. It Was an honor and a pleas ure to go and keep the war far from our beloved USA for peo plo like you. I didn't do much, but I did all I could. I shall return to Klamath Falls on another visit, and I'm looking forward to meeting you again. May this be your finest and happiest Now Year everl Sincerely, (Name signed, withhold).

Men Need Change ' "Another ro a son tho Com mandos wish to bring mon from service men's hospitals here for n Jew days' visit has boon told thorn by several mon who have been In these hospitals and later visited tho Commando, center here. The sorvlcs men praise our hospitals but, thoy suy, there Is not a groat deul for tho men to do In tholr wards besides talk to each othor. Thoy talk over their respoctivo buttles, Thoy got these all talked over and then another boatload of wounded mon arrive at the hos pital and they start In again. They then visit and go over tho battles of tho now mon brought in. , This Is the thing the doctors try to keep the men from doing. Howover, it is a difficult situa tion for thorn to guard against when these men are togothor with practically no outsido con tacts, as they have been brought to these hospitals direct from foreign duty, ' i Hits Home "This war Is beginning to hit In our very homes now, mon we know being Injured, lost and missing, It Is our duty to try and do everything we can to help our fighting men In every way wo can. How could we do it any bettor than to entortoln few Injured men, send them back to tholr hospitals filled with a new spirit of friendliness, confidence, and' let them toll their fellow patients In our service hospitals how the Amer ican peoplo at home are trying to do their part for them? The fow guests we would entertain In Klamath Falls would build great deal of morale in theso brave mon who have fought so courageously for us.. It would help awaken In their tired and sick minds the deslro to have tholr clmnco again In our Amer ican life, , "Tho Commandos urge evory pursuit buying a ticket to attend this dunco at tho armory and sco the outstanding floor show at 11 p, m, it will be woll' worth the price of tho ticket alone to sco and hear the performances of the soldiers from Camp White on tho floor show.

Kreuger, formerly commander of the 3rd army with headquart ers at San Antonio, .Texas, went to Australia at the request of General Douglas MacArthur, Stimson said, because the strength of American forces in the southwest Pacific has reach ed such proportions that the or ganization of a field army there appeared desirable. MacArthur retains his post as commander in chief of allied forces In the southwest Pacific, and Stimson said also that Kreu gor's now assignment would not affect the, status Of Lieutenant General Robert L. Elchelbergcr. Elchclberger, the secretary said, Is a corps commander.

Hodges, who becomes a lieutenant gen eral by virtue of his new Job. Secretary Stimson told his press conference today not to draw too hasty conclusions from Kreuger's appointment that any largo scalo offensive In the south west Pacific was Imminent. Officers who have known Kreuger for many years regard him as Just about the most com pletely military man In the army.
