Charles B. McVay, 3rd, being tried on charges of negligence and inefficiency in the loss of his heavy cruiser, the Indianapo lis, that night en route from Guam to Leyte. The court admitted the Japa nese officer as a witness after ruling it was proper to subject him to a double oath. He was given both the standard oath pre scribed by U. S. naval procedure, as well as that used in Japanese court-martial. . .

Methods Of Choosing Homesteaders For Tule Land Talked (Continued from Page Ono) lake land. This is due to the large number of veterans of World War II (the land will bo opened with veteran preference) and the- great - -amount of - pub licity which , has ocen given Tulolake in the Inst year or two. Under present law, veterans of World War II only would be given preference for 'the home steads, but other legislation is pending which may extend nreference to veterans of both wars. Waves, Spars, Wacs and Marine Girls would probably qualify as applicants as well as male veterans. 7500 Acres The 88 units will range from 55 to 120 acres in size, the to t a 1 comprising approximately 7500 acres. The - opening will occur next year or early 1947. Under the old regulations, an applicant is required to have $2000 unencumbered assets (cash, farm machinery, livestock, etc.) There was divided opinion as to whether this requirement should remain the same or be reduced, some favoring cutting it to $1000. A Tulelake spokes man said that it takes at least $2000 to set up a farming busi ness in these times. Another comment was that the financial requirement eliminates appli cants who may be earnest and deserving, . but simply do not have the cash, -whereas it favors persons already possessing sub stantial means. There was also.' a long dis cussion of the matter of farm ing experience. It was pointed out that many veterans have heard of the Tule homesteads and have an idea they can go on them without agricultural experience, prove up and dis pose of the property. Experi ence, some held, is essential to success on the farms, and it would be unfair to an inexperi enced veteran or one without sufficient capital to put him on a homestead where his chances of making a go of it . are slight. Requirement Favored General opinion seemed to favor a requirement of - two years' farming experience after the age of 15 years, with' the possibility ot rating up appli cants who spent their entire youth on a farm. Some of those present were firmly of the opin ion that irrigation experience is not important, and that any type "of farming should qualify. Several ol those present spoke of the importance of working out some plan that would require successful appli cants to remain on the home stead for a reasonable period after - proving up... It was sug gested tha( the applicant might be given a contract lhat would make the homestead his after he -had remained upon it for five years. Legal .'.complications -hi' such a; procedure' were- discussed,'-orie possible obstacle be-'ing.'.- tneaiffieutty lot getting credit on land and buildings which the .farmer, did not actu ally own; .'-" No Speculation '-' All were agreed that it is im- Dortant that the speculator be eliminated. It was pointed out that the character of the new homesteaders and their success Steer Injures Boat Crewman PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 13 (JF) Ono harbor patrol boat crewman was injured and six Spanish sen men were given a workout as "Toreadors of the Willamette river" here trying to corral' a steer In the port -of Portland. ' ' Crewmen today were dubbed tho "river rldln' cowboys" aftor rouing tho steer in the river and towing it tug fashion to tho Spanish ireiumer where it es- caped yesterday. Roy K. Phillips wns in a hos pital with a fractured arm and severe bruises after the steer tossed him 25, feet down a river bank onto rocks. The steer then jumped Into the river and swam to escape six excited Spaniards who cheered the harbor officers as they lassoed the animal. One Oregonon Makes The Grade WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 (&) A supplementary treasury de partment list of corporation em ployes earning more than $75, 000 a year contains one Oregon- lan. . He was R. R. Adams, general manager of Meier & Frank Co., Portland, with a $60,000 salary and $25,000 bonus for the year ending January 31, 1844. or failure are matters ot sig nificance to the entire commu nity. A majority of those present seemed to favor sworn state ments in behalf of- applicants from qualified references, such as county agents, bankers, AAA officials, medical men; etc., with reference to farming experi ence, financial backing, and physical ability to farm. It was agreed that service-ac quired disability should not bar a man from obtaining a home stead, but that It would be un just to a veteran unquestionably physically incapable ot farming to encourage him to attempt it. No Decisions Mad No decisions of any kind were made at the conference. The reclamation men said they would take all suggestions un der consideration, and may pre pare a set of recommendations to the reclamation commission er. If that is done, another simi lar meeting will probably be called for further suggestions on the recommendations. The reclamation officials said that one plan that had been sug gested was to list all applicants meeting minimum quaunca- tions, and conduct a lottery. Eighty-eight names with suffi cient alternates would be drawn, and preference would be given on the land units in accordance with the order drawn. ' Visiting reclamation officials from the regional office includ ed D. S. Stoner, R. G. Howard, P. H. Johnstone and Jr. A. hoi. 7l r' I Thursday, Dee.
