® jo 2 YB MBY WEST CITIZEN Seturday, Bosomber 18, 1H Letter Leads | To New Limbs For Amputee LOS ANGELES. # — A letter opemed by mistake will mean new sets of arms and legs for a quad- ruple amputee in South Africa. Last August Mrs. Audrey Mc- Rann, a termite-control firm secre- tary, mistakenly opened a letter to an artificial limb company that had occupied her firm’s address. The letter, from Eric Schultz, 28, of Johannesburg, told of his motor- cycle colliding with a train. The accident resulted in both his legs being amputated below the knee, his left arm at the wrist, and his right arm at the elbow. The letter complained that the artificial limbs with which he had been fitted were most unsatisfactory, Mrs. McRann, mother of two boys herself, contacted dozens of experts on artificial limbs. As a result, Eric will enter UCLA here on Jan. 9 to be given new arms and taught how to use them. Then he will go to the Naval Hospital in San Francisco to be equipped with new legs and.learn how to walk. An international service club in Johannesburg is paying Eric’s plane fare here. His doctor wrote Mrs. McRann that: Eric is “com- Truman To Speak o War College WASHINGTON ‘uw — President Truman will make. an off-the-rec- ord talk next Tuesday to the In- dustrial College of the armed forces.

Tomorrow's Almanac Sunrise . —____ : Pa Jewish Leader Decries New Law “WASHINGTON #@ — A Jewish veterans leader says the portion of the new immigration law de- signed to keep out subversives would bar Communists but allow ex-Nazis to come into the country. Jesse Moss, national commander of the Jewish War Veterans, said after a talk with President Tru- man yesterday that regulations be- ing drawn up under the new law would allow entry of former mem- bers of subversive partiés which had not been active for five years. This would let in ex-Nazis, Moss said, because the party -has not existed for five years. Moss; who said he asked Tru- man to prevent therentry of form- er Nazis, said, “We want to keep the Communists. out of the coun- try, but we consider it outrageous that former Nazis, whom: we con- sider just as bad, should be al- lowed to come in.” HIGH HONORS AT (Continued from Page One) Monday night meeting are Frank Batts, Raymond Bozo, Tommy Gib- son and Charles Kaufman.

Moretti was a frogman during World War II, is secretary of the Quarterback Club of Miami and was connected with the building of the George Allen project in Key West. The Morettis left New York for the British Isles on June 5, 1951, taking their car with them on the liner. He explained that the main problem was to get good gas. By paying a little more than the stand- ard price, it was possible. The best high test gas can be bought in Germany, he said. It is 95 cents a gallon in Italy but only 32 cents a gallon in North Africa. Moretti went on to tell that roads in Europe were often better than the ones in this country with Scot- land having the best of all includ- ing a dual highway out of Edin- burg. Roads near Ostend, Belgium were also excellent. Noting the bridges, Moretti said that they were far better than those in the United States, of better design and each one different. He also men- tioned that even telephone poles were made of concrete and were more decorative. He touched on the terrible traffic hazards in Paris, the beautiful and accomodating restrooms through Great Britain, late dinner hours in Spain and old movies in Madrid where Jean Harlow and Clark Gable were headlined. In grimmer tone he told of the concentration camps where the Nazis killed their victims in gas chamber then burned the bodies in special furnaces. He said there is some grounds for believing that Hitler did not commit suicide and “may be closer than we think.” He described the cutstone tunnels and magnificent view at Hitler’s “Eagle’s Nest,” and told of the wonderfully preserved old houses of medieval eras of some of the old towns. Telling of the reason for beggars in Spain and North Africa, Mor- etti said they were due to labor conditions where a man informed him “there is no use in working for thirty cents a day.” Penetrating behind the Iron Cur- tain in the Russian sector of Aus- tria was not too difficult, he said, if you didn’t. stop between the assigned checking points. In - 98 miles of this sector he saw no machinery except a train load of old automobiles. Work in the fields is done by hand, He added that the factories were all shut down and buildings were delapidated, As for the signs which read “Yankee, Go Home,” Moretti was told by} natives tha the Russians put up) the sign and that they were afraid | to take them down although they didn’t agree, simply because as one | “We have to live with the | Russians.” 1 The Morettis visited 21 countries in all from the Scandinavian lands | through North Africa. He noted that bomb shelters were being said that there was talk of the |} “next war” throughout Europe. relative of his who is in intelli. gence work in Germany said Euro. peans were “living on top of a CONCERNING YTHING OBILES SEE THE au | TWINS | 130 Duvac Sr. PH. 1870-1871 Ist Congregational To Mark “Loyalty” Day Here Sunday “Loyalty Sunday” will be observ- ed at the First Congregational Church, giving the members and friends of the church an opportuni- ty to bring in their pledge cards for the support of the budget for the year 1953.
