Most of the largest merchant vessels afloat will be able to reach the annex in seven and one half hours from San Francisco bay. The construction of this tremendous supply annex makes it one of the most important focal points for the distribution of naval supplies. War materials will flow steadily from this annex directly to the Pacific fighting fronts.

SHERIFF'S SON MARINE DIES IN OKINAWA BATTLE Sheriff and Mrs. Carl J. Tobiassen yesterday afternoon received a message from the war department, stating that their son, Cpl. Carl z Tobiassen Jr. of the let Marines Division had died of wounds received in battle on Okinawaw on June 17th. Cpl. Tobiassen had been stationed at the San Diego naval base for most Pine oS wherebe was the athletic instructor for marines. He went to Okinawa arriving there little more than two weeks ago with replacements for the fighting forces. The young marine married four years ago to Miss Colleen Wood, who now resides in San Bernardino. Surviving besides his parents are ;his brothers, Elton, Bill, David and . Ronald and his sister Miss Mildred Tobiassen. (Cpl. Tobiassen was a graduate of Was the Nevada City High School and was a noted boxer, football and basketball nlever and a marksman of unusual accuracy. ing stops our millions of men of the . jarmy and navy must be supplied unal-. ;—chutes which operations an. expected ° ISA CLUBS AT PANAMA PORTS other fighting equipment. In the salvage department at the big U. S. naval air station at Alameda, discarded planes’ returned from overseas are processed with a resultant savings to the nation. A typical plane, for instance, is smashed’ beyond use in the war zone. Its wreckage is returned to Alameda aboard a cargo ship. Swung over the side by a huge crane, the discarded plane is inspected immediately by skilled workers who decide whether the aircraft can be repaired or salvaged. ‘Men and women armed with rivet cutters air and power driven wrenches then go to work on the plane and take it apart. Good, salvagable ‘parts are tagged and cleaned, then ‘stored. Some, requiring minor. adjustments. are overhauled and as many parts as possible picked out for further use. When nothing useable remains in the plane, the aluminum shell is de. livered to men armed with -aeetylene and electric torches. They cut it. into sections which are then fed ‘ta giant power shears whiich crunch {into small bits. The pieces then are fed to a gas blast furnace and melted. : Molten aluminum, termed secondary aluminum, formed into ingots.

But don’t get excited, ladies, because nylon which has been used in a parachute isn’t convertable to stockings. It’s been pieced together in many panels for strength so when it is sold to manufacturers after Dbeing salvaged by the navy it is good only for pieced together items like a scarf or the lining of a purse. The navy of course picks out the most salvagable parts of planes and parachutes even before sending the remainder back to the states. In the forward areas where crashed and wrecked planes are more numerous the navy operates huge _ salvage dumps with skilled sailors to Zo over the -wrecked hulks, salvaging useable instruments, motor parts, tires and’ anything else that can be used again. The increasing tempo of shipping throughout the Caribbean and the Canal Zone has resulted in stepping up United Seamefi’s service facilities for crews in the parade of the ships now transporting vast cargoes of war supplies to,the far Pacific, according to a report to Vernon Stoll. from the California War Chest. Realizing the great importance of shipping in the recent shift of military operations from the European to-the Pacific theatre of war, representatives of transport and export companies, together with local residents in Caribbean and Canal Zone ports are cooperating in the war effort by forming port committees to aid USS in providing adequate facilities for merchant seamen while in those areas, said the report. The USS club at Cristobal, which organized the first USS port. committee overseas,’ has already outgrown its capacity and plans are under way for an addition to the club building, erected only last fall, the report stated. An addition is also planned for the USS clug at Balboa, which has a newly formed port committee, and which has become a port of great importance due to the fact that as the Pacific war speeds up, turn arounds at Balboa will shorten and as the number of:ships in port increases, USS services to seamen shipside must also increase, the report explained. Another USS overeas club. will shortly be opened at Caripto, Venezuela where there is great need fof seamen’s facilities becaluse of that oil town’s isolated location 100 miles in the interior jungle where tanker wear »vrews find themselves periodically in shuttle runs from the Canal Zone or down the east hakst Braj Zi or Uruguay. . ‘. ed IN GERMANY phone period of 216 weeks, __MONDAY, _JULY 2, 1945 WAR PRISONER MERCHANT WINS BA DEGREE “MARINE SCHOOLS .
