PORTLAND, Ore., June 5 W) Day-old bull calves are being given away by dairymen as fox food because of slaughter re strictions and low OrA, hide prices, a dairy official said today. Uscar tiagg, memoer oi me Oregon Dairy association ex ecutive committee, asserted that hide sales are impractical and that slaughter regulations dis courage raising calves for veal. Hagg said fox-growers former ly paid $1.50 for newborn calves but "they got so plentiful mey wouldn't pay anything and now we give them to them to get rid of the animals." He said the OPA hide ceiling price of 18 cents per pound makes it impractical to take hides to market for 90 cents or a dollar. He set two or three dollars as a fair price. In normal times newborn dairv tvne bull calves are either slaughtered after birth and fed to hogs, or sold to be raised lor veaL Bar Association Saves First Offenders PORTLAND, June 5 UP) In two years a Multnomah County Bar association committee has saved 102 youthful first crimin al offenders from prison terms and obtained their military in duction. Chairman Henry S. Gray disclosed today. Gray said many of the 18 to 25-year-old men have been pro moted to corporal or sergeant and that one is an air corps of ficer. He estimated saving to the county at $30,000. Oranges, lemons, grapefruit and tangerines will keep better if stored in a cold place. After 14 months in a German prison camp near Munich, 2nd Lt. Royce E. Smith of the United States army air corps has re turned to Klamath Falls to spend a 60-day leave at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William J. Smith of 3102 Cannon. The first pilot of a B-24 Lib erator, Smith and his 11-man crew were shot down over France while returning from e bombing mission over Ludwig- shaven. Germnny. January 7. 1944. The bomber was attacked by three ME 109's, "one of which never returned to home base," according to Smith. He wasn't taken prisoner until March 2 of that year, and what happened in those two months is a story in itself. After the bomber had crashed near Paris, resulting in the death of two of the crew members, Smith was given help by a Frenchman who decked him out in civilian clothes and gave him enouFh money to travel for a few days. He was cared for by another French family for two weeks, later moving on by bicycle to a French town, where he joined five of the members of his crew. After moving from one home to another down through France, the men finally obtained the aid of a guide to take them in to Soain. Leaving on February 23. the five American flyers and four Frenchmen started across the Pyrenees mountains that form the border between France and Spain, and were caught in an avalanche of snow. Three of the Frenchmen and one Amer ican were lost. Smith and the other survivors were picked un by French gendarmes, who tried to get them back across German lines without being seen. After arriving in France, they were Dlaced in a prison to stand trial on charges of trying to escape into Spain, having no means of identification, and being in a re stricted zone. Surprisingly enough, the crew members were pleased about the whole situation, because it all was being done to try to keep them eut of German hands. However, the gestapo caught up with them and "hauled them away" on March 2. About his life in the prison camp. Smith had little to say. He praised the American Red Cross for the work they have done for these prisoners during the long months of internment. Approximately one package a week was received from the Red Cross "They really back you up all the way," Smith said. Books were sent from the YMCA in Sweden, as well as several musical instruments. Other forms of entertainment were found in the all too few movies that were shown only after they had been thoroughly censored by the German author ities. Their camp was liberated April 29 by the members of Patton's 3rd army. Following their release, the men were flown by 25 C-47 transport planes to Lo Havre, France, and Smith was in the first shipment to be flown out. It was V-E Day, May 8, when they left the French port, by boat, stopping in Southampton. England, to pick up 186 British wives of Amer ican airmen before returning lo this country. Prior to enlisting in the serv ice in July of 1942. Smith was employed by the Big Lakes Box company and Klamath Moulding company. He received training at Santa Ana, Calif., Oxnard, Calif., Bakcrsfield, Calif., and gradu ated from Yuma, Ariz., as a bomber pilot. He took addition al training at Boise and Poca- tcllo. Idaho, reporting for over seas duty rn November 3, 1943. Prior to being taken a prisoner of the German government, he was based In England. HOSPITAL BILL BRINGS CLASH CALIFORNIA PARIS.
