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

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.
