WFTT, we didn't get seasick.
We didn't even get to see Uie sea.
But throughout New Year's Day, 1948, we were at
sea In Medford, Oregon, about uie w9r'7wa:'t
Navy's plans for getting us to sea j
on that long - anticipated puouc
relations destroyer Junket which
was scheduled to leave San Diego
New Year's Night.
This little story Is of no particu
lar Importance but may be Inter
esting to the many "well-wishers"
who spent the last week of Uie
year telling Hank Semon and me
about seasickness and other things
we might expect on an eight-day
destroyer Jaunt from San Diego
to Bremerton.
nur instructions were to go to
Medford airpott by noon New Year's Day, where we
would be picked up by a Navy Air Transport plane
and taken to San Diego for the sea take-off. tWhy
Medford, when there is a perfectly good airport at
Klamath Falls, which was long owned and operated
by the Navy, Is Just one of those things that only a lot
of unwinding of red tape would explain. We can't.)
THE plane that was to collect us at Medford was
to leave Seattle New Year's Morning, pick up
several of the party at Portland, us at Medford, and
others at San Francisco, on the way down the coast.
Here is our chronological log for the day:
11:30 a. m. Arrive at Medford airport. Ask United
Air Lines desk who would know about navy planes
coming in. ton scratches head, suggests CAA office
where flight plans would be filed. Man at CAA
office scratches head, suddenly recalls he heard some
thing about a message for a "Mr. Semon" at the army
communications office In another airport building. Man
at army communications office says yes. he has message,
plane won't be In until 4 p. m.. presumably because
weather prevented Seattle take-off. We tell him we'll
keep In touch by telephone, go back down town and
end up as "squatters- in the living room of Mr. and
Mrs. H. P. Bosworth, ex-Klamathites, who offer us
good company, a Rose Bowl game radio, and other
pleasantries for the vigiL
1:30 p. m. Man at army communications office
reports his "interphone" is out of order, and to call
him later.
2:30 p. m. Army communications man says Inter
phone still out of order.
3:00 p. m. Army communications man sas's he got
call through, learns plane will not be in until 6 p.m.
3:02 p. m. Army communications man calls again,
says it should have been 8 p. m. Plane leaving
Seattle 6 p.m.
3:10 p. m. Wife calls from Klamath Falls, says
telegram arrived for us there, saying plane would be
in Medford at 8 p. m.
4:00 p. m. Being reasonably certain everything now
, set, send sons with car back to Klamath Falls.
4:10 p. m. Wife calls from Klamath Falls, saying
long distance call to Mrs. Semon from Seattle reports
whole trip Is cancelled.
4:15 p. m. Army communications man says he'll
try to confirm by call to Seattle. -
4:30 p. m. Army man says yes, Seattle plane trip
cancelled, but he hears plane to be sent to Medford
from Moffatt field (SJM to pick us up. We ask how we ll
know for sure, he says presumably Moffatt plane would
file flight plan, presumably any navy flight plan filed
would mean plane coming to pick us up. We're a bit
dubious, but sit down to wait.
5:30 p. m. Army man says no flight plan or word
about a Moffatt plane.
6 P. M. We place long distance call to navy at
Seattle.
6:10 p. m. Telephone operator says can't get hold
of navy officer we called at Seattle. We tell her story,
ask her to get hold of somebody who knows.
6:15 p. m. Telephone gal calls, says she talked to
navy office at Seattle, that a Commander Stampley
said the NATS plane left there as scheduled at noon;
but a Commander Creighton might know more about
it. We suggested she try get Commander Creighton.
6:20 p. m. Operator reports Commander Creighton's
line busy.
6:25 p. m. Operator says she again talked with
Seattle, thought best connect tut with Commander
Stampley.
6:30 p. m. Operator reports Commander Stampley 'a
line busy.
;35 p. m. Commander Stampley on line, says very
sorry, didn't kuow himself until Just now when he
talked with Commander Creighton, that the plane
hadn't taken off. But it hadn't because of Icing
conditions, and after several tries throughout day,
the trip was finally given up. That meant the whole
tiling was cancelled, with Uie Navy's apologies. Wt
say okch with us, glad no dangerous flights at
tempted, Just wanted to know.
10:20 p. m. Catch bus for Klamath Falls, which
took us over the mountains through snowstorm with
no trouble.
1:00 a. ni., Jan. 2 Arrive Klamath Falls, call son
out of bed and make him bring car down to take Mr.
Semon home to Henley. Chain cross-link breaks on
way to Henley, we wire It to side-link In Semap's
back yard, another chain cross-link breaks on way
In, whole chain falls off trying to get up our hill.
We abandon car, wade through deep snow, stagger Into
house we dldnt expect to see for eight days, fall Into
bed at 3 a. m.

Lies! Lies! Lies!
THE following is as much of an arUcle printed in
the"Tagltche Rundschau." published in Berlin
on October 15, 1947, as I have space for In this column.
The article speaks for Itself and It ought to speak
out loud to Americans'.
"The Youth of Two Worlds
"Young man, 20, healthy and robust, seeking any
kind of position. Any offer accepted."
" Discharged soldier, 23, completed high school edu
cation, read)- to accept any kind of work, even that of
workshop apprentice.'
" 'Olrl. 21, single, capable in accomplishing any kind
of work, seeks occupation no matter what kind."
"The American newspapers are Jammed with such
ads. They can be seen on many gates, exposed on
poster-columns and on placards carried through Uie
streets of all towns of the United States by numbers
of weary and prostrate young people.
' The doors of Uie factories. In front of which crowds
of unemployed are gathered continuously, among whom
are many Juveniles, bear big posters with the concise
words: 'No employment.'
"There Is no work, no means of existence. How to
find only a way to start, how carry on to make a liv
ing, how build a future? These are Uie questions
which steadily torment Uie youth in the countries of
capitalism.
1 1 N its very substance, the capitalistic system is ex
I clusively concerned with the Interests of a small
group of society. A group of people who, holding In
their hands all Uie capital and means of production,
live through the exploltaUon of the great majority of
Uie population. This privileged class have plenty to
eat, dress well, live In nice, comfortable homes and
are dominated by an ever growing greed for profit.
They are surrounded by faithful servants sitting In Uie
state department, always ready to please their masters
for a small and modest aim. Faithful and devoted to
Uie bourgeoisie, they keep careful watch on their
wealth and welfare. They are their pliant tools and
assist them In fattening their purses. In exploiting the
working man, getting rich at the hard expense of

and I thought heavily, "My, how
limes tto change."
Nineteen years ago I was a copy
boy. too In Uie primeval days when
copy boys were really boys and
ci.ultl aplt between llirlr Ircth and
the llMllrk era In the city room
hadn't even dawned.
It was to read Leo Tolstoi's "War
and Peace" clear through without
fudging.
It waa tills resolution Uiat started
me chewing my fingernails. It may
not sound like much of a resolution
to you, but "War and Peace" has
turned me Into a hideous hypocrite
and put callnusea on my conscience
thicker than the barnaclrs on
Noah's ark.
Always Failed
For nineteen atralght years I have
made Uita aame resolution and
failed to keep It, Bo tills year I am
going lo reverse the field and say
flatly that I never Intend to read
"War and Peace." I am done for
ever with Tolstoi and hla long
winded epic, and I don't ear If I
never find how the story comra out.
My long struggle with the book
began after a high school English
teacher mentioned offhand II was
undoubtedly the greatest novel ever '.
written.
So whenever any of my bulge- 1
browed friends remarked, "Doesn't
so and so remind you of the char
acter lira Ilvavltrh In 'War and
Peace''" I lied bark quickly:
"But of course. Who else but Ilya
Ilvavltrh Indeed?"
Difficult Names
It Isn't that I haven't tried lo
wade Uirotigh "War and Peace." But
It has more characters with difficult
names than the Moscow phone di
rectory and It Is almost as long as
"Anthony Adverse" and "Gone Wltn
the Wind" put together. And I am
allergic both to strange names and
endless prose, however good.
"War and Peace" Is so heavy you
have to hire someone to hbld up
the book while you read It. Even
