Eisenhower Celebrates
Fourth With Plane Ride
SUPREME HEADQUARTERS
ALLIED EXPEDITIONARY
FORCE, July. 5 (tP) Gen. Dwight
D.. Eisenhower returned to his
headquarters today after cele
brating the Fourth of July by
flying with Maj.-Gen. Elwood
Quesada on an observation trip
over the Normandy battle area.
Eisenhower flew in a Mustang
over the combat area with Ques
ada, chief of the U. S. ninth air
force fighter command.
Eisenhower also made a trip
by road which took him past an
enemy pocket of resistance on
the American sector of western
Cherbourg peninsula.
. On the aerial jaunt, the su
preme commander and. the
young, intrepid Quesada led a
flight which included six other
planes.
It was believed to have been
Eisenhower's first flight over the
area, and the first in which two
generals flew in a plane built
for one person.
During his visit in France,
Eisenhower conferred with Gen.
Sir Bernard L. Montgomery,
commanding all ground forces,
and Lt. Gen. Omar N. Bradley,
commander of the American
first army. . . ,
Eisenhower spent five days on
the bridgehead.
Col. George R. Bickell, Nutley,
N. J., led a second element of
the Mustang flight. All the
pilots returned safely.
Cheerful and thrilled over the
experience, Eisenhower asked
who was the leading ace of the
group, and was told it was Capt.
Don M. Beerbower, Hill City.
Minn., with 18 planes to his
credit. -
"Get them all in the air, son?"
Eisenhower asked.
Beerbrower, who leads the
ninth air force in number of
kills, said he got 16 in the air
and two aground.
Eisenhower praised the per
formance of the Mustang group,
recently awarded a citation for
outstanding operations.
Others in the flight included
Lt. Donald E. Gerber, Port
land, Oregon.

URGES
LOWER
FREIGHT RATES
Flashes of
Life
WASHINGTON, July 5 UV)
An interstate commerce commis
sion examiner recommended yes
terday lower freiRht rates on
meats shipped from the middle
west to the far west, declaring
that present rates are unreason
able and prohibit free westward
movement of meats, particularly
pork.
The lower rates, which Pacific
northwest stockmen and packers
claim would drive them out of
business, were proposed by Ex
aminer George J. Hall after
months of. hearings throughout
the west. The final hearing was
held in Portland last November.
Tlie commission itself must
make the final decision on rate
lowering. Northwest packers will
file exceptions to Hall's recom
mendation before the commis
sion. Midwestern meat producing in
terests have contended that if
they were given lower rates it
would reduce retail meat prices
on the Pacific coast.
Northwest producers claim the
exact opposite. Declaring they
could not meet midwest comoeti
tion, they have asserted that low
er rates would give the midwest
a monopoly of the market, re
sulting in eventual high prices in
northwest meat markets.
Hall gave his findings after
hearing evidence in 11 "different
complaints against the present
rates on fresh meats and packing
house products,, in carloads, from
midwest packing plants to the
west.
The examiner said that the
lack of free movement of beef,
veal, and lamb is due to economic
conditions and not freight rates,
but as to pork, "the lack of free
movement is due to the present
high freight rates." He prooosed
an elaborate new schedule of
rates for all fresh meats and
packing house products involved.
Oregon Sweeps
Past Bond Goal
PORTLAND, July 5 W) Ore
gon celebrated Independence
Day by swweeping past its S125,
000.000 war loan goal to an un
pected high of $134,030,395.
The war finance committee
announcing the ovcr-the-top rec
ord today, predicted that the re
maining four days of the Fifth
War Loan drive would add at
least another 30,000,000 to the
state's bond coffer.
Sales of E bonds, however,
remained stubbornly glued this
side of the halfway mark. A
24-hour report of $400,000 in in
dividual bond purchases brought
the total only to $18.539,075
less than half of the $38,000,000

POSSE HUNTS
TWO ESCAPED
PRISONERS
OYSTER BAY, N. Y.. July 5
l.'1'l Priceless relics' of Theo
dore Roosevelt were saved to
day when fire broke out in a
garage on the Sagamore hill es
tate of the late president and
spread to the main house, dam
aging a wing of the mansion.
Volunteer firemen from four
companies fought the blaze for
more than an hour, confining it
to a section of the home 'away
from where the Roosevelt me
mentos are kept.
The Long Island home was
unoccupied. Mrs. Roosevelt,
widow of the 25th president,
was reported vacationing in
Connecticut. . ,
, Origin of the blaze, which
demolished the garage and a
cottage on the estate, was un
determined. Fire officials did
not estimate the amount of dam
age. '
One of the most valuable
relics in the old-fashioned frame
house is the flag Roosevelt car
ried when he led the Rough
Riders in the Spanish-American
war. .
