Comdr. Eodie, Who Rescued
|Rickenbocker> Killed in Pacific
Widow Is Notified
Of Officers Loss
On January 8
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MARION, Mass, Jan. 49,
Comdr. William F. Eadie, who
rescued Capt. Eddie Ricken-
backer when he was lost in the
Pacific, was killed January
somewhere in the Pacific" the
Navy Department notified his
widow over the week end.
Multiple contusions following an
air accident" caused his death, the
Navy Department later informed
Mrs. Eadie.
Comdr Eadie, 81, stationed at the
New Bedford naval air facility aux
ilary station from April to June last
year, was native of Evanston, ILL.,,
and was graduated from North
western University before becoming
naval aviation cadet.
He was commissioned a lieuten-
ant, junior grade. on the eve of
Pearl Harbor and was doing patrol
and combat duty when he partici-
pated in the rescue of Capt. Ricken-
backer
Besides his widow, he leaves two
daughters. His parents live In
Evanston.
Comdr. Eadie was pilot of a light
seaplane, one of the many searching
the South Pacific for the Ricken-
backer party in November, 1912. On
a fight on November IL, he spotted
tiny rubber raft on the sea. He
descended and picked up Capt. Will
liam T. Cherry, pilot of the lost
Rickenbacker plane, whom he took
back to a nearby island base.
The next day, acting on lnforma-
ton supplied by Capt. Cherry.
Comdr. Eadie resumed the search.
That night, with the aid of flares, he
located a second raft In which were
Capt. Rickenbacker, Col. Hans C.
Adamson of. Washington and Pvt.
John r. Bartek.
Due to rain squalls. Comdr. Eadie
was afraid he would be unable to
guide surface ships to the scene, so
he landed on the water. Col. Ad-
amson, seriously Ill, was placed in
the seaplanes cockpit, while Capt.
Rickenbacker and Pvt. Bartek were
lashed to the wing. Then the over
loaded light plane was unable to get
off the water, so Comdr. Eadie un-
dertook a dangerous expedient. He
started to taxi the 40 miles of rolling
sea back to base, something no sea-
plane is built to do. A surface boat
finally arrived and took off Capt
Rickenbacker and Pvt. Bartek, but
Col. Adamson was too i'll to be moved
then, so Comdr. Eadie continued
taxing across the open sea.
That chap has what 1t takes,
Capt. Rickenbacker said later.

Pfc. Ned Schultz, who spent nearly
one month in a L. S. Army hospital

April 21, arrived in Bluffton Mon
day night for a 30-day furlough visit
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Theo-
dore Schultz, of West Kibler street
He came here from Grille General
hospital in Cleveland, where he will
return at the close Of his furlough.
During the time he was held
prisoner by the Germans Pfc. Schultz
lost nearly so pounds, but has re-
gained his lost weight. Numbness
in his feet, resulting from having
them frost-bitten during the winter
has practically cleared up, and his
return to the hospital at Cleveland is
expected to be more in the nature of
a final checkup rather than for
treatment
Pfc. Schultz returned to this coun-
try by airplane, flying from Paris
where he had been hospitalized.

Pfc. Fred Hermann, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Andrew Hermann, was a
member of rifle platoon which lib
Grated 300 Russians srsrn German
prison camp set up in the Ruhr area,
it was learned this week in a news
release from 77th Division head
quarters.
The Russians told the Americans
they were the only ones kept in the
camp after evacuation of nearly
5000 others was completed only a
few days before the Americans ar
rived.
When the American force first saw
the camp, it set up machine guns,
expecting a fight from the Nazis.
Two of the Russians then came for
ward bearing a white flag and ex-
planned that the camp had been
evacuated by the Germany army,
and that only Russian prisoners re-
mained.
Pfc. Hermann was one of a de-
tail of three men sent to the camp
to check the story, and found con-
ditions as described.
The Russians, most of whom had
been prisoners three years or longer,
included both men and women. The
women We're used as kitchen helpers
and cleaning women. A large share
of them were between the ages of
Is and 20.

MEAT MARKETS TO
OPEN FRIDAY after
FIVE DAY HOLIDAY
Neat Situation In June viii Be
Better Than During Last
Two Weeks of May
Reduction In Quotas Spread
Over Entire Month; May
Cut was Last Two Weeks

Bluffton meat markets, closed
since last Saturday night because
quotas they were permitted to sell
in May had been exhausted, will re-
open Friday morning to again serve
meat-hungry citizens of the COM
munity.
Altho an unusually heavy rush OF
buying is expected on Friday be-
cause meat supplies of every family
have vanished during the five-day
market-holiday, some improvement
is expected in the meat situation as
compared to that of last week when
the two local shops were forced to
close two and one-half days.
The overall shortage remains an
changed, however, for War Food
Administration restrictions will al
low local markets to slaughter only
one-half the pork killed in tie cor
responding month one year ago, and
the amount of beef that can be
marketed is restricted to three
fourths of last years quota.
Improvement in the situation,
therefore, will be represented in ad-
justments worked out by the local
retailers to spread the reduction
over the entire month, instead of
applying it all in the last two weeks,
as they did in May
Sales for the early part Of May
were insufficiently restricted and as
a result the full force of the cut in
quota was felt in the closing days
of the month.
During June, however, the markets
will close each Thursday, and the
quota for the month will be spread
more evenly over the entire period.
When Bluffton's two markets
closed their doors for the fve-day
sales-holiday last Saturday night,
no pork or veal was left in their
refrigerators, and the only beef on
hand was a small quantity of steaks
reserved for restricted distribution
to restaurants during this week. A
little cold meat also remained, but
otherwise there was nothing remain
ing from the May quota.

LAND PRICES RISE
0NE-THIRD DURING
LAST Il MONTHS
Losing Battle Is Waged Against
Inilati0n's Effect On Farm
Land Prices
Higher Cost of Farms Repre-
sents Snag in Farming Plans
OF War Veterans

Farm land prices in the Blufftor
area have waged losing battle
against imitation, with an increase
of approximately one-third resulting
during the last II months, a survey
disclosed here the first of the week
Altho land prices have not YET
reached levels prevailing % years
ago after the first World war, they
are substantially higher than in the
years Immediately preceding the
present conflict.
Before the outbreak of World
War Ii, good farm land in the
Bluffton area was priced at roughly
$3.50 per acre.
$500 Per Acre
This same land now is quoted al
an average of $500 per acre, and in
only rare instances can any farms
be found which sell for less than
$175 per acre.
In some cases present high prices
for land are thought to have been
placed on farms by owners who ex-
pect to sell to returning war veter-
ans who have promises of federal
loans for that purpose.
However, it was pointed out that
purchases made by means of such
loans are subject to appraisal by
farmers or others knowing land
values before the transaction is
completed. Approval of the ap-
praisers is required before the loans
can be made.
Soaring prices for land will make
it increasingly difficult for veterans
to buy farms, as an increase of one
third would make an S0-acre farm
cost $4,000 at 5000 an acre in
comparison with an outlay of $4,000
at normal prices of $3.50 an acre.
Big Outlay
In addition to the cost of the
farm, veteran beginning operations
would need $4,000 for machinery,
and an additional fund Of at least
$1,000 for livestock.
This would make the total cost of
setting up farming operations ap-
proximately $4,000, and under
present arrangements veterans can
obtain maximum government loans
of S2500 for chattels and an estimat-
ed commercial loan ceiling of $4,000
is in force.
This would give him loans of only
$500 to apply to the 1000 out
lay, and the balance of S12,50O
would have to be provided by the
serviceman.
How veterans who wish to take
up farming can surmount this
financing problem is a matter now
engaging the attention of Veterans
Facilities.

An older generation failed in its
opportunity to Danish war from the
world and it is the coming genera
tion to which we must look today to
solve postwar problems, the speaker
said. Juvenile delinquency, education
of whole nations, recoversion and
minority groups are some of the
problems, beside the one of world
peace which will claim the best eff
forts of our most able thinkers, the
