ADDED FUNDS
SALEM, Dec. 28 (PI At
'.cast $5,000,000 in additional
funds is needed to nject state
ichool problems, a group of
italc educational leaders de
cided at a meeting here yester
day. The principal problems, said
Rex Putnam, state superintend
ent of public instruction, arc
the acute teacher shortage and
the inability of some school dis
tricts to support an adequate
educational program because of
the districts' poor financial
abilities.
The educators recommended
that the present sources of
school support not be disturbed,
and that an additional amount
for school support be made
available from income taxes
which would not be used to off
set property taxes.
Included at the conference
were representatives of the
state department of public in
struction, state grange, farmers'
union, Oregon Congress of Par
ents and Teachers,- American
Association of University
Women, State Federation of
Labor, Oregon League of
Women Voters, State Press as
sociation, American Legion,
slate system of higher educa
tion, county school superintend
ents, city school superintend
ents, and state bankers' asso
ciation. Lake view Man Hurt

Early to Judge on
Breakthrough Blame
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28 (P)
Secretary of War Stimson said
today that "it is too early to
pass judgment as to whether
any person or group should be
censured in connection with the
German breakthrough on the
western front."
His comment was in reply to a
news conference question.
"There is no doubt," Stimson
said, "but that the Germans took
advantage of every physical pos
sibility in effecting a secret con
centration against a portion of
our lines weather conditions,
long periods of darkness which
prevail at this time of year, the
wooded terrain and excellent
staff work all would facilitate
such a secret concentration."

PFC Richard A. Pope, 18, son
of Mr. flint Mrs. Leslie L. Pope,
237 Jefferson, is a recent grad
uate of the Kiugnuin arniv nil'
field flexible gunnery school
lu'iir Kingman, Ariz.
Pvt. Larry Foiming, 824 Plum,
is now fighting in buropc with
the famous, lighting . Iiillh di
vision, one of the fust divisions
to land in the invasion of the
continent. His regiment and his
division have received much
praise for its magnificent contri
butions to the liiillle of Kiimu'
This same outfit figured in Ihu
capture of the important citv of
l.c Minis mid was instrumental
in closing the bloody raltuse
Gap and the resulting capture o(
several thousand German pris
oners. Pvt. Fcnniiig Joined the di
vision February 10, 1U44 at Fort
Dix, N. J. and has participated
in some of this division's many
big battles across France. This
soldier is a member of the mortnr
platoon of Co. 11 and is assistant
gunner in the squud. He has
been awarded the combnt in
fantry badge and the Bronze
Campaign star.
WITH THE 4TH ARMORED
DIVISION IN FRANCE Sgt.
John W. Bowen, 27, son of Mrs.
Clara E. Bowen, 1293 Adams.
Klamath Falls, platoon sergeant
with an armored infantry bat
talion, has been awarded the
Silver Star for gallantry in ac
tion. . .
The citation reads in part:
"During the period September
2t and 27 when the battalion
was holding down a defensive
line near Rcchiecourt, France,
Sgt. Bowen displayed great
courage and bravery. When
one of the bazooka teams was
knocked out, and with enemy
tanks approaching, he stood in
an upright position in full view
of the enemy, and fired five or
six rounds into an enemy tank,
disabling it. Returning to a
front line position after secur
ing assistance from a tank de
stroyer unit, he was wounded.
The action on the part of Sgt.
Bowen undoubtedly saved the
lives of a great many of his men,
for without the aid of the tank
destroyer unit, the platoon would
have suffered severe casualties.
Sgt. Bowen was inducted into
the army in March 1943. He
received the Purple Heart and
also holds the Combat Infantry
man badge.
