up a Purple Heart and a Silver
Star for-heroic action in an air
battle over Buna, New Guinea,
July 25. Low turret gunner on
a B-17 Flying Fortress on patrol
and reconnaissance when it was
attacked by 15 Japanese Zero
fighters, Erheart was gravely
wounded by cannon fire. Never
theless, he kept his guns in ac
tion and helped shoot down three
enemy planes and damage
others.
"Technical Sergeant Charles
Norris Doty displayed more
than enough heroism to entitle
him to a Purple Heart when a
crass fire swept over a large
ammunition dump near Port
Moresby September 15. Risking
his life among exploding bombs,
he helped to remove valuable
government property and then
returned to aid in extinguishing
the fire."
Doty is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. M. E. Doty of 1726 Menlo
Way, and Erheart is the son-in-law
of Mr. and Mrs. Richard
Hannon. Doty is still in' the
South Pacific, Erheart is in this
country.
Other southern Oregon men
mentioned includes First. Lieutenant-
Philip K. Shriver, son of
Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Shriver of
North Bend, received the Silver
Star for air action, in the South
Pacific. The family is known to
number of former Coos Bay
residents now in Klamath Falls.
Lt. Shriver, a P-39 pilot, rose
to Intercept when 17 Jap bomb
ers and 10 Zero fighters raided
Port Moresby, New Guinea, July
11. He damaged two Zeros, and
one of the bombers was smoking
when it. finally eluded him.
Shriver's sister, Vivian, is a pris
oner of the Japanese in The
Philippines. She is a graduate
of Oregon State college.
First Lieutenant Seth A. Ford
of Medford received a posthum
ous award. He was cited for
gallantry in a raid in which he
met his death August 26. He
was the bombardier on one of
eight B-17s attacking a Japanese
convoy off Milne Bay. Despite
a direct hit upon the Fortress,
it kept on its bombing run until
Ford dropped the bombs, then
crashed in flames into the bay.

Stimson said, in Washington.
At allied headquarters, ' mean
time, it was disclosed that sui
cidal losses ranging upwards of
30 per cent were inflicted on a
Japanese armada of 75 to 100
planes attempting to attack the
allied base at Milne Bay, New
Guinea.
Aside from the vast Japanese
war fleet at Truk, a headquar
ters spokesman said the enemy
also had approximately 250,000
tons of merchant ships based at
Rabaul, New Britain, alone.
Emmy Reinforcing
"Constant convoys operating
beyond the range of our air
forces are being pushed forward
to reinforce the enemy," the
spokesman declared.
Striking in force for the third
time in four days, the Japanese
lost 15 planes definitely shot
down and 15 others were so
badly damaged they probably
failed to reach their bases in
yesterday's raid in Milne Bay,
it was announced.
Previous attacks included Sun
day's 45-plane raid on Oro Bay,
New Guinea, where 24 were shot
down, and Monday's 100-plane
assault on Port Moresby, where
37 were destroyed.

answered that it wbs shortly
after the train had left Eugene,
Ore. about five hours after the
tragedy. Asked to whom Wil
son had made the statement,
Hughes replied:
"I don't know who was ques
tioning him, but I understood it
was a deputy sheriff at least he
was acting as a deputy sheriff."
He added that the negro por
ter Shaw, he believed, heard the

"I believe I said so. I don t
know for sure. I'm under oath,
you know."
Hughes With Folkes
In his direct testimony,
Hughes had said he was with
Folkes in a Pullman washroom
a faw minutes before discovery
of the slaying. Asked by Wein-
rick how long that was before
Shaw ate the muffin, Hughes
said it was 40 or 45 minutes.
Curtains from sections 12, 13,
14 and 15 in car D were exhib
ited. Bloodstains were seen on
those from sections 14, across the
aisle from lower 13, and 15,
next to it. A blood-covered mat
tress also was brought in.
Hughes said he couldn t iden
tify the mattress positively, but
by the bloodstains on it, it
could be the mattress from low
er 13."

The porter, under questioning,
said that a Pullman curtain,
properly buttoned, cannot be
opened from the aisle. Improp
