EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS 5P RAILROAD APPEALS FDR Critical shortage of manpower is preventing Southern Pacific from keeping its maximum amount of rolling stock in serv ice to speed men and war ma terials toward Japan, said L. B. McDonald, vice president in charge of operations for the rail road. Southern Pacific is short over 5000 workers, McDonald de clared in his appeal for skilled craftsmen. Less than 100 form er railroaders have reported to Southern Pacific to date under the army's plan to furlough such men from military service to help relieve the shortage. Immediate need of Southern Pacific is for machinists, boiler makers, pipefitters, electricians, carmen, signalmen, switchmen, brakemen, firemen, telegraphers, carpenters ana omers. owiuo standard pay, which in most cases would include overtime pay, they will have hospital benefits, insurance, railroad pass privileges.

Young boys and girls have ap plied there for jobs, such as mowing lawns, washing win dows, weeding gardens and ' other jobs of that nature.

Girls to take care of babies and young children are also available and this service should i be especially helpful to families i where both parents work. Help ! in housework may also be ob- j tamed by applying at the cham- ber of commerce. There is no charge for this service which is directed by Cliff Jay, chairman of the junior employment service.

Cheyne, 20, of Klamath Falls, was recently mentioned in roports from the Pacific as having helped stop Jap forays on the galley. Cheyne Is a graduate of Henley high with the class of 1943. His brother, Rollo, was killed in July, 1944, in the invasion of Guam. Dale was in the same outfit in the' marines and land ed on Iwo Jima this year. Parts of the report' written by Sgt. Cyril O'Brien, marine corps correspondent, arc as follows: The slory of how a mess ser geant, wielding a. hickory pick handle, led his cooks in a night attack on Japs who came to pil fer his galley will long be told in the 3rd regiment of the 3rd marine division. MTech. Sgt. Joseph Decidus of Portland, had set up his gal ley on the outskirts ot his regi mental camp. The area was surrounded by jungle which harbored many jap survivors of the campaign on the island. Gradually tne savory aromas from the kitchen beckoned the hiding stragglers. Joe was sleeping in the galley tent when the tirst enemy pilfer er arrived. PFC Dale Cheyne of Route 1, Box 857, Klamath Falls, a mess cook, heard noises in the corner of the tent. Believing it was a rat, he sat up in his cot to listen. A Jap was kneeling near the tent flap, his hands on a can of preserved butter. Cheyne yelled and the thief scampered into a field. The two galley men- were after him, and the Jap stumbled into a "cara bao wallow" where he left his cap, a shoe and the can of butter before escaping. Birdshot wouldn't stop the Japs so Joe assembled his mess men after supper and armed them with kitchen knives, meat cleavers, broomsticks, bayonets and machetes. The unorthodox Lttle legion hid beside the sal- ley. bnortry after dark a jap poked his head from the brush across the road. He signaled to a com panion and the two headed stealthily toward the galley, i They moved straight for Joe, who was tightening his huge paws on the hickory mace. Face to face with Joe, the first Jap froze on the spot, just before the pick handle slammed down on his head. He dropped like a pack of GI potatoes. I he other reeled to escape with Joe's big stick thumping his head. He dodged grqggily into a hedge. Joe tried .to pull him out as a mob of screaming messmen, brandishing their va ried weapons, bore down on the spot. The Jap heaved a rock at his attackers, and finally, in desper ation, a shoe. The Jap was picked up and carried back to the road where he was given medical attention Paul O. Landry this question: "A visitor in our horn carelessly left a burning cigarette on the top of our baby grand piano, severely scorching the finish and leaving a deep indentation which will be very expen sive to repair.

The galley is still on the hill, but not a Jap has come that way since. hunter leaves its guns at home, it carries no guns, drops no bombs; yet the Peeping Torn P-38 is one of our planes Japs fear most.
