Paul Sperry, Phone 2-4211 Lloyd Kemp, Phone 2-4182 NEWS VIEWS By WILLIS K. THOITS Having observed Hitler's 55th birthday, we are now ready to wish him many happy returns of the bombers that have been smashing his war production. One news agency reported that his birthday was "observed in silence." You wouldn't feel like shouting, either, if all the silence around was ruined by bombs bursting. OPA rationing is that One result of none of us will need two weeks extra vacation to rest up from the driving we did on our vacation. We're all becoming more "mile conscious" these days, even the Japanese when they realize that MacArthur and his men have jumped 500 miles closer to Hirohito's house of heaven.

If the Russians keep on advancing they're going to be a blow to the rubber shortage since we are wearing out one eraser after another trying to keep up with them. Palo Alto residents also have learned that "bargains" in insurance matters may be costly unless you are dealing with a reputable firm. Willis K.

B. SHELTON 968 Addison Ave. Ph. 9103 Redwood City which closed yesterday afternoon. It is now before, the commisdecision, along with the Pacific Greyhound Lines application for a permit to operate over Middlefield road for the purpose serving Dibble.

J. P. Demeter, co-owner of the city lines, and W. K. Thoits appeared the hearing yesterday in the interests of the local firm's request.

Thoits, who is a member of the city planning commission but attended the hearing as a private citizen, said that the growth of the area to be served justified the extension of service and that the change, would be of detriment to no one. Atherton's opposition to having the Greyhound buses run on Middlefield road was pressed, E. yesterday Farrell, by who Police said he "would rather drive on El Camino Real and cross the traffic at Ravenswood avenue than drive on Middlefield road." He declared his community wanted "to keep Atherton a country town." Depressions on Midd lefield road impair visibility, he said, and the narrowness of the highway and its solid shoulder constitute traffic hazards. The Greyhound company submitted figures to show that its buses had been operated 000 miles between February 5 and April 9 with only 14 traffic violations. J.

W. Krug, superintendent of operations for the coastal division of the company, denied that there were special traffic hazards on Middlefield road. Opposing the alternative that a "loop" service be established around Dibble, R. E. Thomas, superintendent of transportation for Pacific Greyhound lines, said the lefthand turn off El Camino Real into Ravenswood avenue would be more dangerous than the Middlefield road route.

He also objected to another suggestion by W. C. Black, Atherton city attorney, that the line run special buses on El Camino Real with Dibble as the only stop between Palo Alto and Redwood City, Present custom-' ers would object to being passed up by the specials, he said, limited, service vehicles had taken off El Camino at the request of the Office of Defense Transportation. Greyhound spokesmen said that Chief Farrell had written the company in April, 1941, complaining against excessive speed by bus drivers and that the company had asked him to report all instances of such speeding. Since that time, they said, no such reports had been received.

With the approval of F. W. Clark, who conducted the hearing for the railroad commission, the Greyhound application was consolidated with one by the Redwood City Bus Line asking lifting of restrictions in the present franchise to permit of terminal to terminal service between Palo Alto and Redwood City.

Osburn came home to claim bride he brought exciting tales of combat flying It only took First Lt. John C. Osburn three months and 11 days to complete his 25 missions with the Eighth Air Force in England, but he was over there six months. And you can bet counted off the days a little the more eagerly than some of his buddies because his bride-elect, Geneva Hughes, of Woodland, was waiting for him. Lieutenant Osburn arrived in the States April 3, on Easter Sunday he was in Palo Alto, and April 14 was his wedding day.

The bride is a daughter of the Morgan Lockridges of Woodland, and the wedding was performed in a judge's Sacramento Mr. and Mrs. James Earhart, friends of the bride, were attendants. There was not a second's hesitation in Lieutenant Osburn's answer when he was asked which Unemployment trust fund tops half billion mark SACRAMENTO (P) California's unemployment trust fund is more than a million dollars over the half billion dollar mark, T. H.

Mugford, member of the California Employment Stabilization Commission and chief of the division of accounts announced today. Heavy payments made into the fund in the April quarter brought the total reserve to $501,301,580.13. Decreased unemployment due to wartime prosperity, with the accompanying decrease in unemployment insurance claims, accounts for the comfortable size of the fund, said Mugford.

His B-17 was one of a group which flew 1,032 miles in five hours and 20 minutes, from England to Brunswick and back again, leaving their calling cards at the German city.

When they were 25 miles from the target, a call came in from their home base recalling airborne forces because of adverse weather conditions over home bases. However, the colonel leading the formation was unable to confirm the order and went on. "We didn't drop anything on the first run," he said. "After a three-sixty we went over a second time." 'We got it' They got it that time--but the Germans got them, too. Flack was thick--and when Lieutenant Osburn's plane, "Pride of the Yanks," got home it had 30 bullet holes and a by 2 feet piece 'Reform' slate elected to San Jose city council SAN JOSE, May 2 (P) Six candidates who ran on what they called a reform platform were elected to the city council in yesterday's municipal election.

The six received majority votes, making it unnecessary for them to contest again in a runoff election. Those elected are Ernest H. Renzel Roy H. Rundle, Albert J. Ruffo, Ben C.

Carter, Fred Watson and James E. Lively. City Auditor Harry A. Young was re-elected. City Manager Clarence B.

of the fueslage by the left waist gunner was missing, where a 20 mm. shell had ripped through it. The 19 American planes in his formation had no fighter escort, because the fighters had evidently been able to confirm the recall order. Therefore, the German fighters had an easy time picking off the Americans -and they did it systematically, starting from the rear of the formation. "We were next in line," declared Lieutenant Osburn, a navigator.

"They had picked off everybody behind us when they ran out of gas." Ten of the planes returned to England. "Pride of the Yanks" put in a claim for six enemy planes. "But it's hard to tell if you got them," asserts Lieureally, Osburn, "with everyone shooting at the same planes." They got 8 ships Officially the returning bombers were credited with eight enemy aircraft, four probables, and six damaged. A Presidential Citation was awarded all the men who participated in that raid, and Lieutenant Osburn also has a Distinguished Flying Cross and an air medal with oak leaf clusters. In his 25 raids in "Pride of the Yanks," Lieutenant Osburn directed his plane 17 times over targets in Germany and eight times over France.

Most of his trips' were for strategic bombings, with aircraft plants, railroads, or other communications as targets. "We were lucky," he declared. "All of our crews came back." Three times, however, his plane had to drop out of formation. Twice coming across the North Sea it was "right off the water" and once, coming back across Holland and Belgium, it was "on the deck." No one scratched In all of that, not a member of the crew was scratched, and "Pride of the Yanks" is still making trips over Europe, with a replacement crew at the helm. Tomorrow morning, Lieutenant Osburn and his bride leave Palo Alto for Santa Monica.

From there, he will be assigned to a new post. A WORLD OF CARE WITHOUT A WORLD OF STRIFE SHUT OUT A WORLD OF LOVE SHUT IN The above quotation is fittingly used here.
