Convoy Road Is a Lonely
One Says Local Now Man
MERRILL It's a lonely old
trull, the convoy route between
the western and tho eastern
hemispheres. No mail reaches
the boys who arc responsible for
the safe delivery of allied war
materials to ports across the seas
for weeks and sometimes
months. Radios, with the excep
tion of the official sets on board
the mcrchuntmun, are "taboo."
Thcymight be a give away to the
enemy subs that lurk like
"schools of fish" for the slow
moving convoys so the old pho
nograph and scratched records
get a thorough working out, ac
cording to Lester Lodicn, who
spent a few days in Klumuth
Fulls with his brother, Dennis
Lodicn, before reporting back
this week to San Francisco for
further duty.
Lodcin, a gunner's mate 3c
class, enlisted a little over a year
ago and in the brief span of
twelve months completely cir-
i clcd the globe, touching in his
1 travels, India, New Zealand, At-
riea, Australia and both coasts
i of South America.
Nonchalantly he mentioned
the torpedoing of the boat on
which he was returning to Amer
ica early in March. He described
its sinking'and the rescue by a
destroyer of all the crew except
one who was asleep near where
the torpedo entered the ship. The
crew never saw the sub that sent
the shell completely through the
vessel. It was about 3 a. m. and
while the moon shown on the
water the deadly missile was
sent without noise or fan fare
and the undcr-watcr craft went
on its way.
Possessions of all the crew in
cluding mementoes of their shore
leaves in those far flung ports
went down to Davey Jones lock
er. On board were a dozen or so
tiny monkeys, small- enough to
be carried In the pockets of a
shirt that the boys called ba
nana rats. These, too, were lost.
Lodicn praised highly the Aus
tralians whom, he said, seemed
to really like the Americans.
Australian cities arc much like
those in the United States. Their
sky scrapers look like the New
York shore line as ports of the
major cities arc entered.
India, particularly Bombay, is
a city of beggars. Sailors from
U. S. vessels fell over them in
the dim light of the black-outs
as they sprawled in gutters and
across sidewalks. Dozens of little
beggars, some of them mere
babes, work under a master beg
gar who gets the lion's share of
what they can wangle out of for
eigners. Americans particularly
arc sized up as being made of
money.
Shoe hino beggars double up,
one hanging on to each foot of
sailor boys who go ashore and
shine as they walk, yelling for
cash. Crippled beggars try to sell
their canes and knives are a
common buy.
Sailors registered amazement
at the deftness with which the
Indian wraps his 18 or 18 yards
of cloth into a turban and "wom
en of India look like bales of
cloth walking around."
Food on board was plentiful
and good and Australian, beef
loaded for table use on one voy
age was excellent. Travel being
necessarily slow, the boys had
plenty of time to think "and
most of us lived a lot in the
past." They dragged a fish line
most of the way to India but
"only got a strike or two." Laun
dry, especially greasy work
clothes, was a chore so these
were tied to ropes and dragged
through the salt water that
eventually cleaned them.
English coal burning ships
were the bane of convoys, the
smoke being a trailing signal for
the enemy. These sometimes
shipped among American oil
burners.
Lodicn hoped to be sent on
destroyer duty on his return
from his 30-day furlough, part
of which was spent in Minnesota
with his family. He was em-
' ployed during part of his real
I dence in Klamath county on the
D. . Alexander ranch at Merrill.

MORE GOOD NEWS FROM THE- PRODUCTION FRONT
A REPORT TO IT
IE NAT
ION
on General Motors' Production, Employment, Economies and Profits
TODAY THE COUNTRY'S LARGEST PRODUCER
OF WAR MATERIALS
During 1942 war production In Gerwral Motor incroased rapidly.
Deliveries In lh fourth quarter wer mor than four timet those in the
fourth quarter of 1941 and were at an annual rate of more than three
billion doilort, h reality, war production increased far more rapidly
than dollar value Indicate thonitj to decreases in cost of manufacture.
General Motors' interests and energies are concentrated on speeding
war production. i
THROUGH BATTLE TESTS WITH FLYING
COLORS-THE WORLD AROUND
General Motors' war products are now being used by both the Army
and Navy on batHefronts all over the globe. Reports of their effective
ness and, in many cases, of dedded superiority over enemy equip
ment are evidence of the quality materials and precision workman
ship going into their manufacture. The great variety of equipment
fvmbhed b indicated below and there are additional secret weapons
which cannot be Bsted.
THOU5ANDS OF SUBCONTRACTORS AND
SUPPLIERS ASSIST GENERAL MOTORS
Continuing peacetime practices, thousands of subcontractors and sup
plierscompanies which have demonstrated production efficiency and
ability to maintain quality have been utilized by General Motors.
This practice has resulted in the spread of approximately one-half of
General Motors' wor work to outside firms. Thousands of these subcon
tractors and suppliers are firms employing 100 people or less..- -
ENGINEERING AND PRODUCTION
. KNOWLEDGE PRODUCES RESULTS
The experience gained by General Motors over the years has proved
of Immense value In war work. This "Know-How" In the fields of engi
neering and manufacture has made possible quick conversion to war
production, and resulted In simplification of design Improvement of
quality and reduction In cost. This not only speeded up the work and got
the fob done, but saved manpower and millions of dollars of the tax
payers' money.
EMPLOYMENT FIGURES HAVE MOUNTED
TO AN ALL-TIME HIGH
Although more than 50,000 G.M. people have foined the armed forces,
employment in the U.S. and Canada rose to 370,000 in 1942 an all
time high. This increase involved great problems in training personnel.
Hours worked Increased to an average of 45.5 hours per week, compared
to 40.7 hours In 1941. General Motors' employment is spread through
107 plants In the U. S. in 46 communities In 13 states and five plants in
Canada.
TECHNICAL TRAINING AND FIELD SERVICE
TO ASSIST THE ARMED FORCES
General Motors' training schools for technicians of the armed service!
have graduated more than 11,000 men will train approximately
40,000 in 1943, Parts schedules have also been established, and main
tenance units set up In combat areas. Technical observers ore stationed
at bottle fronts, so that our engineers and mechanics, cooperating with
the armed forces, can more rapidly Improve the military effectiveness
of weapons.
WAGES REACH A NEW PEAK AS
RATES AND HOURS INCREASE
Along with Increased employment and working hours, wages hove
risen substantially. Hourly workers, who averaged $43.41 weekly In
1941, averaged $54.91 In 1942 an Increase of 26. The payroll
for both salaried and hourly rate employes in 1942 was $659,314,062.
G.M. paid $259,331 to employes for suggestions furthering the war
effort. More lhan $7,000,000 was paid to employes through group
Insurance
it THE 4
AMERICAN WAY
WILLW1N
SAVING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR s
UNCLE SAM-AND YOl
As a result of the Industrial "Know-How" reviewed above, manufac
turing costs were so reduced that, by the end of 1942, more than
$177,000,000 had been voluntarily returned to the government In
price reductions, and there will be an additional $183,000,000 In price
reductions which wHI apply to subsequent deliveries under existing
contracts.
