Member, Aaaoolatad Praia Member Audit Bureau Circulation Today's Roundup , By MALCOLM EPLEY- HOPE ran out today for Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Dieter of Tulclake, parents of Staff Serg eant Bill Dieter. They were informed at last nd definitely by tho war de partment that Bill was killed In action on April 18, 1942, the day of the Doolittle raid on Japan. Bill was an air crewman on that historic at tack, and until today's fateful news, was listed as missing in action. The parents of Bill Dieter had received no definite word In the long months since the raid, but there had been things to keep alive a faint hopo. EPLEY There was, for instance, the paragraph in the book, "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo," by Capt. Ted Lawson, one of the Doolittle fliers, quoting Wendell Furnas, an American who came back bn the Gripsholm. Furnas spent some time in a Jap prison, and reported he saw or spoke to eight of the Doolittle crew, imprisoned in the same place. Quoting the book: "He said there was a little fellow who didn't ' say much whose name sounded like Deeter. That was Corporal Bill Dieter." Today's news shows that it wasn't Bill, after ail, Lt. Chase Nielsen was in the group men tioned by Furnas, and it was presumably Niel sen, released just a few days ago, who dis closed the truth about Sergeant Dieter. Nielsen Was navigator on the plane in which Bill flew Over Japan, and he knew, of course, what happened. Sergeant Dieter was the only man from our area who participated in the heroic Doolittle raid. We salute his memory. , , Psychological Blow THE release of four of the Doolittle fliers and the announcement about Bill Dieter has slanted public attention back to the 1942 raid, even in the midst of the stirring events ac companying the Japanese surrender. , It is good, in a time of triumph, to recall daring incidents that lifted our spirits in a less auspicious period of the war. One of those was the Doolittle raid, a tremendous psychological blow for the American cause, and terrific feat. Eighty men rode the sixteen planes over Japan. Fifteen of the sixteen planes reached China, and 75 of the 80 men. AU planes were lost, excepting one that landed in Russia) but not one was shot down in the raid. He Saw Them Take Off PAUL HAINES, Herald and News sports editor, saw the Doolittle fliers take. off. . Paul Was on the heavy cruiser Vincennes, ; Which with the USS Nashville, escorted the carrier Hornet, base ship of the Doolittle planes. " He had gun watch on the morning of April 18, ; . 1942, and from that vantage point saw through the haze as the B-25's left the deck of the Hornet and circled back over the Vincennes. "It seemed to us they barely got off," Paul said today. "There wasn't much evidence of excitement among our gang. The comment went about like this: There they go. We hope they bomb h out of them." The planes got Into formation and flew out of sight in the direction of Japan. "The Hornet, the Vincennes and the Nash ville lost no time in getting out of there. We made full speed, picked up the rest of the task force which was waiting farther back, and hightailed it back to Pearl Harbor. "In all that run up close to Japan and back, we never saw a Japanese plane. We never saw a Japanese ship, except a low-slung boat Which the Nashville sank. It was after that . incident that the Doolittle gang took off. It was feared the Jap ship may have had time to radio a warning to Japan." i H medium-good 308 lb. slaughter calves 13.75.

Aug. 30. 184S News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON A ASHINGTON, Aug. 30 Pressure from YV mothers who want their sons back home and servicemen is playing havoc with the discharge and draft programs. More irate mail from them has been received in congress, and therefore presumably also at the White House and war departments, than upon all other sub jects combined since V-J Day. At that time, you will recall, the govern ment came forward with the program retain ing about two-thirds of the armed strength for the present peacetime, and i planned a gradual demobilization over the long period of 12 to 18 months. Well, the navy changed its tune and figures two weeks later, announcing what was called "a speedy step-up" in demobiliza tion and it was all of that, and more. It more than doubled its earlier demobilization plan. ' Army Cur THE army announced its retreat through Mr. Truman's draft message to congress. Where as on V-J Day the army had proclaimed inten tion of keeping an occupation force of 2,700,000, it came down to 1,200,000 in the Truman recom mendation. But the army covered its retreat with a flanking maneuver. It inspired Mr. Truman to propose the first peacetime draft in all history of youths 18 to 23. To me this looks like a sort of universal military training program the youth draft in a disguise of demobilization requirements. The training would presumably be mostly in police work in foreign lands, its scope limited to 500,000 men, and the age limit of course runs a little higher than the youth draft plan, but the basic idea is not dissimilar. It would be a peacetime draft of youth for two years of army service. Mothers' Messages AS I said, congress has been hearing from mothers also the mothers of youth to be drafted and showed public signs of resistance to the Truman message to the house and sen ate military affairs committee as soon at it arrived. Adding volume and substance to their resistance was a growing suspicion of army figures, already once altered in two weeks. A strong movement is developing behind the position taken by Chairman May of the house committee who wants to wait three months before doing anything. That is the course like ly to be taken by .congress. How Many Volunteers? THE argument now all runs down into the simple question, of how many men will want to remain as volunteers in the service. The proposition Mr. Truman submitted was based on the assumption there will only be 300,000. He figured 300,000 men would be produced by continuing the draft "at its present rate," so you would think only 400,000 men would have to be retained in the army to make the heeded 1,200,000 for the occupational force. But he left this last part of it open, saying additional supporting forces would be needed in this country, but he did not know bow many. (If the army can figure how many it needs for occupation abroad, why can It not figure a home supporting force precisely?) These considerations leave the figures a little fuzzy. You can pull the fuzz from them all day long and you can only come to the conclusion that the army does not know: (A) How many will volunteer to remain in, until it asks them, and (B) Cannot calculate anything else until this is proved conclusively. Jobs Go Begging THE change in the demobilization plan, how ever, may upset the Truman economic calculations somewhat. A swifter demobiliza tion will release men for civilian employment faster and complicate that problem if It de velops severely. i To date there are far more jobs calling for workers in my community than any army releases can fill, and the want-ads in the news papers I read contain 10 to 1000 more appli cations for workers, than for work. lilumatirs gooa sows vio.uu. market nominal; ewes y3.00-6.00. 30 'AP-UBDA1 Ssl From the Klamath Herald August 30, 1935 The slides on the side of Mt.

Humbled MacKENZlE All this is quite unwitting on Walnwright's part. On the con trary It's the last thing he would have expected. - Throughout his terrible years Of Imprisonment he has been tortured with the nightmare of his surrender. ' He thought he' must be in disgrace with the folks back .home. Even now he can hardly understand his elevation to fame. You get that from his humble statements but more strikingly from the years of hell that show In the eyes of the ra dioed photo which was taken on his release. That picture haunts one, for it tells the story of a man who thought he had failed in his great stewardship. Read his statement to the press, His Apology "I have had very little direct contact with my country or of ficial agencies thereof or even with my family for over three years, but such contacts here and there as 1 have had have caused me to believe that the adminis tration, the war department and the American people have ac cepted my dire disaster with forebearance and generosity which perhaps are unique in the experience of a defeated com mander." .

Said the American commander: "I've been to general staff school and the war college, but they never taugiit me what to do if I was called upon to surren der. I gueso we shall have to continue fighting.'! , Finally there was nothing left for Wainwright to do but ca pitulate, or sacrifice the lives of his entire command without rea son. . ' "My gallant troops," he says, "had perhaps made a defense against m o r t overwhelming odds, under more disadvantag eous circumstances,' than-troops of the American army had ever been confronted with In his tory." . To Attend Surrender ' So It is particularly fitting that General MacArthur should have invited Wainwright, and members of the lattcr's staff who were in prison with him, to be present at the formal surrender of Japan aboard the battleship Missouri. In replying to Mac Arthur's message, Wainwright said of his colleagues: "All this group were with me on the tragic day when I had to surrender, and I'm especially anxious that they be present when we accept the Japanese surrender."
