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

plications for employment, and
tne ranroaa win iurnisn nee
transportation to qualified ap
plicants from point of recruit
ment to the job, it was stated.
Probably the only place in
Klamath Falls where there is a
surplus of labor at the present
time is at the junior employment
; service established by the Klam
ath county junior chamber of
commerce.
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. At
present there are more appli
cants than there are jobs and
townspeople desiring this type of
work done are requested to call
. the chamber of commerce office
-at 5193.
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.

Klamath Soldier Hears Rat,
Finds Jap In Pacific Galley
PFC Dale C. 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
