Dear Dr, Allen: Yesterday Dean E. Martin, former K.U.student now in the Army Air Foree, was in our office. He had been over to eall on you but did not find you in. He inquired about how the T.P.Hunter Fund was going, and then left his check for $20 as a contribution to that fund. I thought you might like to write to him. His home address is Route 2, Princeton, Kansas. He is now stationed at an Army Air Field in Louisiana, but is uncertain for how long. He said his mother would forward his mail to hin. He requested that the contribution be recorded as from Mr. and Mrs. Dean &. Martin. Ve d fA s. Flora S. cayflos, Secretary. P.S. I neglected to notify you that Mou Hui King made a $5 contribution to the T.P.Hunter Fund on March 30. His address: 1240 S. 77th St., West Allis, Wisconsin. He enclosed his check in a letter to Fred Ellsworth. ee 139-74 AANA B,. 72 ve 0 Pastrnractee ae EO es a eee f A At ue y oA GO Le. a £7083 °FC L 6 eee es Lg. APO.4AAS oe.

Brown, MeDs | Commisioner, Department of Health Nassau County Court House Mineola, Ne Ye Dear Doctor Brown: I am mighty happy to receive your letter of July 3rd, ‘ and beg your pardon for not being prompt with my reply. Just received a letter from Bobby yesterday and he is being shipped out from San Francisco to points west this weekend. The rest of the dope on Bob and Mit are in the Rebounds. _/ When I recall your little tots of several years back and now see that Josephine has doubbless shipped out by now and that Richard was over in Germany makes me realize that time marches on. I wish that I had time to write you more but being Governor - of Rotary district 123 and having the district assembly meeting at Manhattan on Monday July 23rd causes me to curtaih my desire for a longer epistle. With every good wish to you and yours, T am Sincere ly yours, Director of Physical Bducation : Varsity Basketball Coach BOARD OF HEALTH EARLE G. BROWN, M. D. COMMISSIONER BENJAMIN R. ALLISON, M. D.

July 3, 1945 Forrest C. Allen, M.D. Director of Physical Education Kansas University Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I have not previously acknowledged your note of May 8th with which was enclosed the Jayhawk Rebounds, No. 15. Personnally it was guite a thrill to me to see that our names appeared in the publica- tion. You have previously sent me two or three copies of the Rebound and I am wondering if my name might be placed on the mailing list to receive each issue. I have read every word in this news letter and have sent it on to Richard, who I know will have as much pleasure in reading it as I had. I am acquainted with only a very small number of the men you mentioned, however I feel that I know most of them because of having read their various activities while in school. Your appointment to the police committee after your becoming a city official was most inter- esting. It does not seem possible that the years have passed so rapidly that Bob has completed medical education, his interneship and is by now on the medical corps. On the other hand, it is now eight years since we moved from Kansas to Arlington and have now been in New York for more than seven years. Josephine writes that she has received her cholera and typhus injections and is anticipating an early call to overseas service. She had her basic training at Camp Swift, Texas, and since that time has been at the Station Hospital at Camp Howze, Texas. Early last month, having passed her overseas physical, she was given a 10-day leave of absence, came back to New York and as you can imagine we had a busy time during her short stay here. Richard wrote that at the time of the surrender of Germany he was located at Bad Nenndorf and has moved two or three times since then. Early in June they were sent to a small town on the Moselle near Cobenz, but in a letter received today and written on June 27th he gave the name of still another place. Although he has not said, I am presuming that in all probability his division is being kept over there for occupation duty. Forrest C. Allen, M.D. -2- July 3, 1945 During the past week we have had some scorching weather but the heat wave was broken late yesterday afternoon by a thunderstorm and the office is very comfortable today.

The maximum annual salary here for a teacher with an A. B. degree is $2940.00 and for a teacher with an A. M. degree is $3140.00, in either case plus $250.00 for assistant coaching and plus $500.00 annually for head coaching. An important and favorable advantage of teaching in Illinois is the fact that all teachers in Illinois have "tenure" after two years of teaching here. Illinois has one of the best teachers! pension systems in existence. Your kindly sending me an immediate reply will certainly be appreciated. : Sincerely yours, EAST ST. LOUIS SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL & W.

U.’s Charlie Black. (By The Star’s Sports Editor.) HANCES are that Dutch Stamberger, former golf pro at Old Mission, has done his share of praising the Lord. We don’t know about that, but we do know that Dutch has been passing the ammunition. In a letter to our Roy Johnson, Dutch says as much. “Since we are permitted to tell something of our experiences up to March 1 maybe you'll be interested in some of them,” Dutch writes. “We have made two raids on Tokyo, which were the first ever made there by carriers. In one of them we got so close we began to think maybe we would get ‘liberty’ there and made preparations to visit Tokyo Rose. Also during the month we covered Iwo Jima and made a raid on Okinawa ...I have a gun mount during battle where I help pass the ammunition, so I get to see a lot of action... One thing we all know out here is that these navy pilots sure are ‘good. For every one we lose the Japs pay many times with their own: planes,” Mr. Johnson Curmises: that when Dutch returns there'll be many a buzz party in the locker rooms at Old Mission. His Scoring Is Still High. HARLIE BLACK is still doing a mighty good job. It wasn’t so long ago that Charlie was one of Phog Allen’s Greats in K. U. basketball. Since then he has been in a far tougher game, but he still delivers in the clutches as he used to do for the Jayhawkers. ; Testimony in support of that may be found in a letter to Charlie’s mother in Lawrence. Under date of April 12 and signed by Brig. Gen. B. W. Chidlaw from the headquarters of the 12th air force the letter read: ‘Tt is with pride that I take this op- portunity to write and tell you that your son, First Lieut. Charles B. Black, jr., has ‘earned the Distinguished Flying Cross for superior performance of duty . in action against the enemy. ‘Despite a heavy overcast which forced him to fly at minimum altitude and through accurate enemy ground” fire, Licutenant Black made repeated photo runs over vital enemy targets, thereby contributing greatly to subse- Capt, CHARLES BLACK, | quent tactical operations. He is still doing a first “His courageous act richly merits ne OO this high honor and I share with you the pride I know you feel. Airmen like your son, by their great courage and perseverance, maintain peak standards of combat efficiency and encouarge the devotion to duty which marked our progress toward ultimate victory.” Lieutenant—make it captain, for promotion has come to the lieutenant since the letter of his commanding general—Black is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Black, 1709 Louisiana street, Law- rence. Mr. Black works for the Stewart-Warner Alemite company of this city. As we recall, Captain Black has another year of collegiate athletic competition and your guess is as good as ours as to whether Phog would like to have him back. Captain Black’s wife and daughter, the latter 4 months old, live in Kansas City. The airman has not seen his daughter. C. E, McBrmve, BETSHER, Charles A.

I am sure that Jim would like to have all four copies of the 1944/45 issues and if you would be kind enough to have them sent to me I will be glad to pay what ever expense is involved. Jim transfered to the Paratroops but was turned down because one shoulder was higher than the other. He is now back in the Air Corps at Keesler Field. I will be glad when this is all over and he can be back in school again. Truly yours J. &. Briley f puty 2012 East 13th Place Tulsa, Okla.

Dr. Allen, in all sincerity, my sister joins me in expressing our gratitude for your generous efforts in accomplishing what you have done to clarify the article that previously appeared in the Kansas City Star concerning our father, We only hope that in some way we may be able to repay you for the kindness and consideration shom, It is things like this that give a person renewed faith in the principles of hmesty and justice, which appears to be so lacking during these trying times, Should I hawe the opportunity of visiting Lawrence, Kansas in the immediate future, or at some later date, I would like to have the pleasure of meeting you again, Sincerely yours, Ul Williem M.

Che William M. Bain, | a Envlend 21/5/45 Monday Dear Doc: I received Jayhawk Rebound No. #15 today and as usual was very glad to get the lowdown on good, old K.U. This finds me in the same fix as the average American housewife. I just don't have enough points. The only difference is that she's looking for points to buy her husband a nice juicy steak and I'm looking for points to get a discharge. According to what my Mother writes and judging from my own personal experience - we're both out of luck. Ev- en with almost 2 years service abroad I'm still plenty short. The discharge really isn't worrying me much, The thing that I do worry about though, is that I haven't seen a B.B. game since the Great Lakes nosed us out in Kansas City on Jan. 31, 1943. That was too long ago. I hope to see some kind of athletic contest at Kansas this season, but of cou- rse that's up to Uncle Sam. I'11 probably end up paying $65. because I talked to some pretty Fraulein. I was glad to hear the news that my good friend, Charlie Black is a Captain: now. He was a great athlete and from his Army record he mustajust as great a flyer. With his 50 missions completed he should be on his way home before long. When he drops in to see you will you please extend*him my best regards and heartiest congratulations- both on his pre omotion and the birth of his daughter. I flew on a tour over Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, and France last week and believe me the Krauts know they've been in a war this time. Large cities like Essen and Hannover are literally wiped off the map. The country between liege and Aachen, scene of the br- eak through last December, is really a sight to see. Even the small villages are leveled. We crossed the Rhine just north of Dusseldorf and could see many bridges, all destroyed by the retreating Germans. The last big city on the tour was Paris. We flew over the town at 200 ft. and it was a great thrill for me to see the Eiffel Tower, The Arc De Tr- iompe and other famous landmarks. Coming back we crossed the Channel from Cap Griz Nez (Cape Grey Nose) and got to see the White Cliffs of: Dover. Many an American has been thankful to see those Cliffs when he was returnigg from a mission over Germany. I have a new address now so will you please make the change on your mailing list. My new address is: j Pie. W.E. Bradford-17125540 836 Air Engr. Squadron 410 Air Serv. Group A.P.O. #559, c/o Fostmaster New York City, New York. Thanking you again for the Rebounds. I hope this finds you and Mrs. Allen enjoy- ing the best of health. Sincerely Yours © settee reese eveses U. S.
