Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY (Editor' Note: Below is a continuation ol a report of civilian orientation cruise on board the USS AJax, 16,500 ton repair ship of the US navy, Irom Bangor, Wash., to Ban Diego. Members ol the civilian party In addition to the writer were Henry Semon, Klamath '! Falls; Flavel Temple, Portland; Eddie Schlenost, , Yakima, and J. D. Lewis of Pullman.) "ATI Wash, i T SEA, Aboard the USS AJax The AJax slipped away , dock tills morning so quietly that we didnt know we were moving until wt came out on deck after breakfast. Soon we were out In Hood canal, and plowed on into Puget sound and into the Strait of Juan De Fuca with the Olympic peninsula on port side, Vancouver island and Canada on our starboard. We paid our first visit to the bridEe of the AJax tills moraine. The navigating supervised by the Lt Cmdr. G. A. Mason, and a lot of our time Is spent looking over his shoulder as he works over charts and instruments. HMhirimrllillifcilBiie EPLEV m hririra tlf is a crescent-shaped Up on the front of the ship, its floor and walls studded 'with Instruments whose functions, once explained, make one marvel at the courage of the old-tuners who set sail on the unknown seas with only the stars, a few primitive gadgets, and maybe a rabbit's foot in the pocket as assurance of getting anywhere in par ticular. A row of portholes provides the view from the bridge. Borne of them, we noticed as rain continued to fall, are equipped with windshield wipers. Capt. Markham's spot is an elevated seat at a porthole near the chart table. Although we civilians were undoubtedly very much in the way, we were welcomed on the bridge and everywhere else in the ship even in the brig and made ourselves thoroughly at home. The wheel is a big disc of polished brass, and enlisted men take their turns standing on the slightly elevated wooden grating, turning the wheel cautiously to keep the vessel on course. There is a certain tense Bess in the atmosphere of the bridge, even under the most routine conditions. Here is the nerve center of 24,OO0O00 worth of ship carrying 300 to 400 people. Including us, and there is no monkey business which is all right with us. We went to church this morning. The chaplain, a Methodist from Texas, invited us down to the services held in the enlisted men's recreation room. He gave good, non-sectarian sermon to the all-faiths -congregation. Among the civilians, only Mr. Semon and I went to church; later, when we were not spared certain gastric difficulties that visited the ship, we took the chaplain to task. But he assured us that we were undeserving that the punishment stemmed Irom a cocktail party he suspected us of attending before boarding ship. (II the chaplain himself got sea tick later, he wouldn't admit ID It took most of today to get out into the Pacific. As soon as we had passed Tatoosh light, we began to realize that something was happening to the sea and the ship. The vessel had been pitching a lengthwise rising and falling motion but now it began to roll stnd pitch both. The wild increased, and the sea began running in big swells and waves. A big blow was on. (This was the storm in the North Pacific that wrecked several craft over the week-end.) I began to feel a little uneasy amidships (speaking personally.) I recalled the advice of all the Klamath people who know exactly what to do about seasick ness, and tried a few of those ideas, with no apparent result. I was determined not to be the first down, end not to show any tenderfoot weaknesses. If others weren't sick, I wasn't going to be. I went out in a passageway for a bit of fresh air, and two sailors were standing there looking out into the rough night. "Half the men below are sick," one of the boys told me. That was enough, I groped my way back toward my room. All holders were off; I went to the proper place and was emphatically seasick. That ought to make all my friends happy at home! ' A T SEA, Feb. 8 Well, it was quite a night. Half f asleep and half seasick, I got dimly through it, while the steel vessel pitched, groaned, shuddered and produced many unexplained banging noises. I made up my mind I would get to breakfast this morning, and did after several tries at putting on my socks and shoes. Leaning over that way has very unpleasant effects when you are on the edge. it Breakfast was good, the storm abated a bit, and I began feeling okeh. We learned this morning that 'one of the life rafts had disappeared In the storm, and that considerable gear, lashed to the deck, had broken loose, helping to produce some of the noise of the night. We proceeded rapidly down the coast, mainly in "sight of land. We were off the Oregon coast today, "and the weather is still improving. Tonight, we ' went to movies held In the sameVoom where church " was held Sunday and saw the "Kid From Brooklyn." "'AT SEA, Feb. 10 Today, we passed the Oregon- California line, and the weather has become ' positively charming something our friends aboard 'took pains to point out to us Oregonlans. The little waves danced in the sun, the coast line was blue and beautiful over there to the left, all the butterflies had departed from our tummies, and everything was wonderful, v We spent much of this day inspecting the ship's repair facilities, and talking at length with the chief petty officers and enlisted men attached to these "remarkably complete shops. At noon, we lunched With the enlisted men, enjoying good food but missing - the meat (it was meatless Tuesday, which the navy till observes.) The AJax as a ship is becoming to mean something .. to us. We are getting the feel and the significance of It. Unconsciously, we have developed a pride in its appearance and tradition. And It isn't our fault 7' If we haven't seen every inch of it we've run ourselves a tired, up and down ladders, (steep stairs) through "hatches into deep recesses, topside, below to the very bottom, everywhere, j. Henry Semon, despite a game leg which he has to .vdrag over those 8-inch obstructions that extend across ' the bottom of every door-way, has outdone me as an Inspector. He has really worked this ship over.

It The captain sent snappy-looking gig, four-motored transport plane, where we sat amid boxes of freight and with 16 or 20 other people in a flight northward. Our first stop was Los Allmidos navy field near Long Beach, and then we sped on over Los Angeles and the rough mountains to the northwest toward Moffet field near San Jose. On invitation I went forward to the flight deck and talked to the pilot, Lt. Cmdr. L. A. Juhnke, who told us he had flown this same ship to Tokyo, Shanghai and everywhere NATS has stretched. Its lines. He was Just now on the last leg of a flight from Wash ington, D. C. , As we approached Moffet, the pilot invited me to listen to his radio for the ground control (O.C.) land ing which he was to make there. All movements of the ship were directed from a tower until finally we came In. Over the radio lt was both a directive and a word description of what we were doing "you are now two miles north "f the field, you are 10 feet above the glide angle, you are a little below the glide angle, bring lt up please, you are over the end of the run way, you are on the runway ... A very good landing, sir." At Moffet we were given transportation to San Fran cisco municipal airport, and two hours later were on a United Airlines plane which brought us into Klamath Falls at 6:60 p. m., Just nine hours titer leaving San Diego. That's the story. Sea veterans must forgive such mistakes as we have made in nautical terminology. Four days at sea don't make an ancient mariner but they did give us a mighty happy, eye-opening exper ience, and taught us that the navy (1) does things well and (2) needs men. anemometer (the wind-recording Instrument) had be come stuck. This gadget is located far out on the sidearm of the big mast, high above deck. I suggested to Mr. Semon that he offer to climb the rigging and start the tiling whirling again. A couple of the en listed men were talking to us, and Joined in the fun. "Maybe I should tell the captain I'm ready and Willing," said Mr. Semon. "A teat like that ought to win me a decoration." "You're more likely to decorate the deck." said o-i of the men. AT SEA, Feb. 11 We have passed the Golden Oate and are now rolling on down the California co&u, with many well-known points showing up on the distant shore. A navy ship loomed up on the horizon this morning, and Captain Markham and Lt, Cmdr. Mason decided it was a good time for a "battle stations" drill. The bosun blew his whistle, the order was given, and there was a terrific scramble and clatter of feet. All guns were manned and we were given a demonstra tion of a lot of new equipment, which we were told Is simple compared with some of that on battleships and cruisers. Next came an "abandon ship" call. Again there was a great scurrying. We were standing in the bridge, where reports of the progress of the drill were centered. Captain Markham turned to a man at a telephone, and call the sailor who was stationed at steering apparatus deep in the rear If he's still there," he said. The telephone operator spoke into the transmitter, listened a minute, and said: "He's still there, sir. He says he can't abandon ship until he is relieved." A good laugh rolled through the customarily quiet "Tell him he'd better get out of there." said the captain. "If this were the real tiling, he'd be relieved A E were invited today to lunch with the chief VV Petty officers. We filled ourselves with fried chicken and French fries. Most of these CPO's have their lives pretty well mapped out. They are going to serve out their few more years in the navy, retire at good pay, and take up something else that will keep them busy and make them a good living. Many of them have their own homes and have their post navy life worked out to the lest detail. They enjoy a certain distinction on ship, with a good lounging lay out, good chow and plenty of leisure hour diversions. The chiefs, as did commissioned officers and others we met aboard, remarked at length on the lack of man power in the navy. The men in charge at the shops said they couldn't do a Job without more personnel. There was a general feeling of concern over a lack of enlistments, which some charged to the reaction that naturally follows a war. A chief told us that there was some public misunderstanding of navy life; that never had a man's personal dignity been more re spected in the navy than now, that people are not kicked around, and that the boys in his particular shop were intelligent and efficient, though far more independent in spirit than men of their grades in other days. Among the men we encountered a little sourness, some good-natured grousing, and general good cheer. Some of the guys were furtively enthusiastic; they said they liked the navy, but didn't say it too loudly. Several told us they intended to reenlist at the end of their present hitch. One tall kid listened to some of the talk for a while, ostentatiously lifted his trouser legs, and "waded" out of the passageway. All of the fellows to whom we talked liked Capt. Markham and the AJax outfit generally. SAN DIEGO, Feb. 11 (Night) Perhaps the biggest thrill of this cruise came, this afternoon as we moved into teeming San Diego harbor, center of tremendous navy sea and air activity. - Two cruisers stood out to sea Just before we entered, and ahead of us In the parade into the harbor were three submarines and a couple of destroyers. Over many descriptions roared, and we saw As we advanced into the harbor, The officers and crew of the AJax were decked out in their "blues" and white caps. The ship had been made splc and span for the event, and as we passed down the ship-lined avenue, our men saluted smartly in response to calls of "attention, port!" or "attention, starboard!" A pilot came aboard, three tugs after much order-shouting and man. was eased into her berth, about two We went ashore tonight with a lot of other AJaxers, and on a whim took a bus to Tijuana for dinner, which we ate amid thick smoke and the singing of a couple of troubadors. After dinner, we took in a Alal (hi 11), our first observation of tnis sport so popular in Latin countries. It's a sort handball, squash and lacrosse, with a long, curved basket or cradle for catching and hurling the ball. The crowd went pleasantly mad over every sensational play. The bet ting was on a parl-mutuel basis, but they got no that time. late, for our last night on the'AJax. Feb. 12 we bade farewell to our shipmates was a somewhat regretful leavetaktng for we had found these people officers and men friendly and stimulating. Cdmr.

Trellis Mae, set a plate of chipped beef and carrots before htm his ravorite break fast. Usually she told him this dish took too long to prepare on days when he had to go to the office. But after ten years a married man learns to take In silence any small bonus that comes his HAL BOYLE way. So Wilbur munched on until he noticed something stranRe about the breakfast table. A bowl in the center contained a dozen fresh red roses. What are those?" he mumbled. Please don't talk when your mouth is full, Wilbur," said Trellis Mae. He swallowed. "What are those?" Two Cupids "As If you didn't know, you lamb." said his wife affectionately. Wilbur noticed an envelope on the table.

One note to remember the "Bob Wills" show, Paul Alexander's pride and Joy, has replaced "Ross Dolan" at 7:30.

Tie World Today I4y HEWITT MACKENZIE AP Forclm Affairs Analyst Our Uncle Sum Is going to Insist that, his u Id for rehabilitation of Euroiw.m countries shall follow the precept that heaven helps those who help themselves. More specifically, the U. 8. senate foreign relations committee, which is putting the Marshall plan Into ihe form of a bill for senate action, has agreed that the needy nutlons must do every thing ihey can to help them selves uud each other If they are to get aid from America. The 10 countries looking O.Will Motktmi. for help must fulfill the pl.ilge they already have made to create a Joint recovery pro gram based on self-help and mutual cooperation. Thul's fair enough. As a matter of fact It's moro than fair, because self-help Is the least which the United Stales Is entitled to expect. And to give credit where It may be due the Indications are that on the whole the hard-hit nations of West ern Europe really are making an honest effort to help themselves. and In many cases are doing a good Job. Human Nature Now of course we should be naive if we dkln't expect the suppliants to gather all the manna they can and with both hands. That's human nature. Furthermore, there have been instances of countries trying to substitute American largess for solf-help. In any event, despite mistakes and finagling, a vast amount of encouraging self-help Is going for ward In the 16 countries which are Involved in the Marshall plan. It's almost unfair to mention any one country as an -example, but Britain provides a good Illustration On top of the fierce austerity pro gram under which the country has continued to live since the war and I mean fierce, for I had first hand experience of lt the socialist gov ernment has called for further drastic measures.
