Gen. Joseph C. Fegan, commanding the corps' Pacific department. Sorenson, 20, of Anoka, Minn., was in a shell hole with five other marines on Namur atoll, Kwajaleln, when a Japanese toss ed a grenade into the hole, "I Just threw myself on the grenade," he said. "There was nothing else to do." Badly wounded by the explo sion, Sorenson Is convalescing at the naval hospltul here and ex pects to return to general duty.

Stat Press Comment Bepiaatatoel ky i TWO M AHONEYS. . j (Klamath Falls Herald-News.) j There are two Mahoneys in volved in Oregon politics, and some newcomers and casual fol lowers of political news seem to be gpetting them confused. Willis E. Mahoney, former Klamath Falls mayor, is the dem ocratic nominee for the short term United States senate posi tion. Mahoney, although he claims Klamath Falls as his resi dence, has lived for a number of years in Washington, D. C, and operates a private business there. Thomas Mahoney of Portland lias been in the state legislature a number of years, and currently t is the chairman of the Oregon delegation to the democratic na tional convention. Both Mahoneys are strongly lo-litlcally-minded, as is apparent. No love is lost between them, we are told, and it was rumored last spring that Thomas Mahoney of Portland might come out against Willis Mahoney for the senatorial nomination, if for no other reason than to confuse the situation by name duplication. e This brings us to a bit of po litical reminiscence. When, in 1932, Willis Mahoney ran for mayor of Klamath Falls, he was forced off the ballot be cause he had lived here less than one year, and came out as a write-In candidate. This involved quite? a cam paign among his disciples to get (hem to remember to write the jiame correctly with an X in front of It In fact, Willis signed I his name lor a while as X W. E. Mahoney to get the idea across. A man named Moloney was running for state treasurer that year, and the return Indicated that Moloney, though defeated, jjot a lot of votes in Klamath county from people who thought they were voting for Mahoney when they marked an X for Ma. loney. Some people told Mahoney af ter the election that they thought his name was ruled off the ballot, but had found it there and voted for him. Mahoney, lncdletitnlly, got a plurality of the votes for mayor and took office after another le gal ftglit. But that is another I GIVE CREDIT By Chirles THE Japanese government of a streama veritable torrent, in fact. Stalwart political ballyhooers keynoting the democratic convention, bluntly credited the New Deal party with forcing the removal of the Japanese dictator, but we have a sneaking suspicion that Admirals Niniilz, llalsey and Spruance have had some influence on the decision of the sun-god emperor to find himself a new cabinet, and that General MacArthur, whom the New Deal has tried unsuc cessfully to relegate to an obscure role, also has figured prominently in the causes for the Japanese shake-up. It would be surprising indeed if the New Deal leadership, as a matter of political expediency, failed to take advantage of the opportunity to steal credit for the Japanese cabinet change. (The republicans would have done the same had they been in power. Politicians do not overlook anything that may gain votes.) But we must not be mi.sled by cam paign oratory. The full glory for the change in Japanese military and political leadership belongs to those boys who have battled so bravely at Guadalcanal, New Guinea, Tara wa, Biak, Saipan and all the other island points furnishing stepping stones to Tokyo. Our own boys from Douglas county are in that fight and we have every reason to be proud of their achievements reports which bear the names When we learn, as we do Staff Sergeant "Bob" Dumont, on Biak island, the credit-stealing tactics of political leader shin, regardless of party affiliation, become somewhat dis gusting, to use a mild word.

The Japanese are mistaken if they think a change in rulers "will make us forget the treachery and barbarity of their behavior," declares Acting Secretary of War Tatter son. And from Joseph C. Grew, former ambassador to Japan, now chief of the state department's office of far eastern affairs, comes the announcement that the resignation of the To.jo cabinet, "will entail no fundamental change in policy in fighting the war to These are the kind of words to the American public, and which will be received in Tokyo with fear and trembling.

Y-, July 19 (AP) Rep. James W. Wadsworth, Jr., co-author of the selective ser vice act, said today that he and Governor Dewey are "in agree ment" that what he termed the weakening of United States mili tary strength after world war 1 "should not happen again." Wadsworth, an overnight guest of the republican presidential nominee, told reporters they "dis cussed generally having this country made strong and kept strong after the war." Asked the trend of their con versation, Wadsworth, former chairman of the senate military affairs committee, said it was "by contrast with 1920-22 when we sank our navy, cut our army down and promised Japan we would not fortify some Pacific islands." "The governor and I are in agreement that sort of thing should not happen again," Wads worth asserted. Declaring their talk included discussion of post-war military bases and many other subjects Involving security, Wadsworth said he and Dewey covered gen erally what he termed "the high desirability of maintaining our military strength so as to be not only secure but influential." Meantime the pattern of Gov ernor Dewey's "front veranda" summer campaign to seat himself in the White House appeared to hinge on party organization. Observers of the republican presidential nominee's political methods said it had become ap parent the 42-year-old governor was laying the foundation of his election drive on the time-tested formula of state and local party teamwork. They based their conclusions on Dewey's almost uninterrupted post-convention series of huddles with G. O. P. congressional lead ers. By SUSAN. Goodness gracious. Did you ever try to settle down to work with a political convention goinj.; great guns in both ears? Well, our very best advice to you is not to try it, because it's practically impossible.

Judge." rw ;irr-htf ,-a ifwiunrf cant' they stick to stuff we rec ognize like "Carmen" and Faust (well, we recognize a song or two from each of them) or good old "II Travatore?" Moving down to the 8 o'clock time on Saturday eve now . there's a different story we rec ognize most of the music and even if we don't, It's nothing to worry about.
