ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON. FRIDAY, JULY 2 1 1944.
FIVE
Platform Based on F. R. 's Record
Peace Plank Finds
Accord, but Racial
Stand Causes Rift
CHICAGO, July 21. CAP)
The democratic party wooed the
1S44 electorate today with a plat
form calling for a fourth term
based on President Roosevelt's
record "in peace and in war"
and a promise to seek military
backing to prevent another blood
bath of conflict.
The road ahead was paved with
party dissension over the racial
issue sparkplug of a vain but
bitter southern revolt unallaycd
by a plank Ignoring definite com
mitments sought by advocates
and opponents of the "white su
premacy" status quo.
"The democratic party stands
on its record in peace and in
war." said a declaration bearing
the approval of the quadrennial
convention. "To speed victory,
establish and maintain peace,
guarantee full employment and
provide prosperity this is Its
platform."
i Asserting its 1,500-word state-
mcnt of principles and promises
does not detail scores of planks,
but instead cites "action," the
party's short story portrayed its
four-time candidate as "the cham
pion of human liberty and dig
nity." "That God may keep him strong
in body and in spirit to cany on
his yet unfinished work is our
hope and prayer," it said.
Southerners Dissent.
In a 40-word "racial plank"
stripped alike of states rights
proposals and demands for en
dorsement of anti-discrimination,
anti-poll tax and antl-lynching
legislation, the party declared:
"We believe that racial and re
ligious minorities have the right
to live, develop and vote equally
with all citizens and share the
rights that are guaranteed by our
constitution. Congress should ex
ert its full constitutional power
to protect those rights."
A motion by the Missouri dele
gation, apparently reflecting feel
ing among many southern demo
crats, failed to get the necessary
one-fifth support for a poll of the
convention on this plank.
But Vice President Henry A.
Wallace, already the target of
southern delegations anxious to
send him back to his Iowa farm,
declared that "in a political, ed
ucational and economic sense
i there must be no inferior races."
Accord On Peace Plank
There was every outward sign,
however, of unanimity over the
foreign plunk pledging affiliation
with other united nations in an
organization to maintain peace
and prevent aggression by using
armed forces "when necessary.
Such an organization would be
supplemented by an international
court of justice to arbitrate and
adjust disputes between nations.
Other planks were keyed to the
Atlantic charter and the four
freedoms, the enactment of addi
tional labor legislation as experi
ence necessitates, the placing and
keeping of agriculture on an "in
come parity" with industry and
labor and adaption of tax laws
to expanding peacetime economy.
Barkley Praises
Roosevelt in His
Nomination Talk
CHICAGO, July 21. AP) -Senator
Allien W. Barkley, who
six months ago laid down the
new deal standard in a bitter but
short-lived tax quarrel with the
White House, raised it high yes
terday with a call for renomina
tion of President Roosevelt as a
leader "unsurpassed if ever
equalled."
It was another dramatic mo
ment in the relations between the
president and his "Dear Alben"
of other days, for the Kentucky
senator himself is a vice-presidential
candidate lacking a favorable
nod from the man he was nomin
ating for an unprecedented 16
years as chief executive.
Barkley concluded his nomin
ating speech to the throng pack
ed tier on tier in the lofty, echo
ing stadium with these words:
"1 present to this assembly for
the office of president of these
United States the name of one
who is endowed with the intellec
tual boldness of Thomas Jeffer
son, the indomitable courage of
Andrew Jackson, the faith and
patience of Abraham Lincoln, the
rugged Integrity of Grover Cleve
land and the Scholarly vision of
Woodrow Wilson Franklin De
lano Roosevelt."
Barkley conceded he had dis
agreed on occasion with the presi
dent. But he added. In his pre
pared address:
"It is one thing to differ from
a friend. it is quite another
thing to discard, or seem to dis
card, a leadership unsurpassed if
every equalled In the annals ol
American history: or to repudiate
a record of achievement in na
tional and international affairs

Criticism, Praise
Meet Acceptance
Talk of Roosevelt
WASHINGTON, July 21 (AP)
Republican congressmen in a
series of statements issued hero
today termed President Roose
velt's acceptance of a fourth term
nomination a step toward "disas
ter" and said it had "left the peo
ple cold," but democratic lawmak
ers who passed up the Chicago
conclave to remain in Washing
ton spoke enthusiastically 'of
"keeping a winning team in ac
tion." Typical comment:
Rep. Ploeser (R.-Mo.): "If
Roosevelt is reelected I believe
we will be disastrously near the
end of representative govern
ment." Rep. Sikes (D.-Fla.): "We must
retain a democratic administra
tion because the republicans are
' so close to being isolationists now
that they will resume such an
outlook as soon as they can."
Through his office here, Sen.
Moore (R.-Okla.), who is at his
Tulsa home, said "while we fear
ed that the willingness of the
president to stand for a fourth
term was inevitable, the actual
confession of the farce leaves the
American people cold."
Sen. Willis (R.-Ind.): "When
the American people realize the
sinister portent of a fourth term
their sound judgment will prompt
them to grant Mr. Roosevelt his
expressed desire to spend the rest
of his days in Hyde Park."
Rep. Bloom (D.-N. Y.) : "We
ought to keep a winning team in
action. There have been some
remarks about tired old men, but
age is not in a man's year, only
in his mind."
Bond Issue Permit Given
Utility in Service Here
SALEM, Ore., July 21 (API
Public Utilities Commissioner
George H. Flagg today approved
an order allowing the California
Pacific Utilities company to is
sue $1,600,000 of first mortgage

Wheat Stocks of 4
Countries Decline
WASHINGTON, July 20-(AP)
- The agriculture department an
nounced yesterday that wheat
slocks on July 1 in the four prin
cipal exporting countries United
States. Canada. Argentina and
Australia are estimated to be,RoseDurK chamber of commerce
575,000,000 bushels below the reo secretary, a gift from the North
ord supplies on that date last
year, but still well above the av
erage of pre-war years.
Tolal stocks were placed at 1,
170,000,000 bushels compared
with 1,748,000,000 last year and
with an average of 457,000,000 for
the five pre-war years, 1935-39.
The declin? of nearly one third
from a year ago, the greatest
change in carryover supplies in
one year's time on record, result
ed in part from the smaller 1943
wheat harvest in the four coun
tries and in part from the large
ciemana tor wneat lor feeding
and other non food purposes.
Good harvest prospects for the
new crop Indicate the carryover
a year from now will remain at
approximately the level of July 1,

Baptism of War in Normandy Fails
To Upset Yankees, Lt. Russell Says;
Young Fanatics Toughest of Enemy
Actual warfare is a far differ
ent thing than is pictured in the
"ws, according to Lieutenant
lLeIand Russell, son of Mr. and
J the aimv. Lieutenant Ri!
soli tells of action experienced
in the first few days of the in
vasion of Normandy, when he
was with an infantry unit which
participated in the first landings.
"The movies just don't give the
right impression," Russell declar
ed. "It's hard to explain, but
there's something personal in
each conflict here no desperate
dashes across fields, etc. We
fight with front lines often as
close as 100 yards apart, almost
within grenading distance.
"on our second day ashore we
entered our first pitched battle
for a strategic bit of woods on
the right of a town and In line
with another town. It was quite
a baptism. Our outfit by night
fall had battled to the far edge
of the woods and controlled a
highway. At one point we hit a
snag of pillboxes and my mortars
swung into action. You can't get
observation in this country, so
I went to the front lines with a
radio. Within half an hour the
outfit had carried those positions,
as the mortars had knocked the
Jerry silly.
Calm Under "Baptism."
"At the end of the fight I turn
ed to take stock of myself and
was amazed to find 1 was all
whole and not shaking like a
leal That's another thing that's
haul lo explain. They always told
us, 'You'll be scared silly." You
never saw such a bunch of deter
mined, cool men In your life. If
they were scared you'd never
knmv it to look at them. So when
I eame up, quite uncertainly, I
niiit admit, 1 found men laugh
ing', smoking and swearing at
snipers. It sort of works on you
ami the first thing you know
you are quite calm and collected
and start doing the Job that Is cut
out for you."
Strenuous Duty Recounted.
Something of the life of an In
fantryman is recounted in Rus
sell's description of the battle.
After fighting until 10 p. m., the
unit carried supplies all night,
standing waist deep n walpr at
one point to transport supplies
aei"ss a stream. After one hour
of sleep, the men turned out at
i m. and travelled between 10
;ind 12 miles before they caught
up with retreating Germans.
Their advance was so fast that
they overran German stragglers,
who, in trying to escape through
the American lines, gave Lieu
tenant Russell and his command
one of their toughest experi
ences. Part of the platoon bad been
Capt.Robt. Fulton,
Wounded, Freed
From Nazis' Clutch
' Captain Robert Fulton, son of
C. G. Fulton, Myrtle Creek, re
ported missing in action in the
European Invasion, is back at his
base In England, where he Is
being treated for wounds and
burns, but expecting soon to re-
turn to combat, according to word
received by his father.
Shot down behind the German
lines while flying a straf
ing misson, Captan Fulton was
taken prisoner, but was recovered
by the allies when they captured
Cherbourg.
"I am O. K. and doing fine,"
the captain writes his father, who
on July 9 received official word
that his son was missing.
Wounding Recounted
"Here are some of the details
of my latest and most terrifying
experience," the letter states.
"On June 20th I was strafing
roads in France when a 20 mm.
shell came through by cockpit,
puncturing my leg and exploding
my gas tank. I pulled up to 500
feet and bailed out. On the way
down some Heine infantrymen
put nine holes in my parachute,
trying to finish me oft
"I landed behind German lines
and hid in an old barn for three
Sdays. The hole in my leg was
about eight Inches long and three
inches wide, to say nothing about
the burns on my hands and face.
Attempted Sneak Falls
"The pain became so intese that
,1 decided to try to sneak back
through the German lines, but
was captured and taken on a hay
cart, along with some German
wounded, to Cherbourg, where I
was given medical attention. On
the 29th, the allies captured Cher
bourg and I was flown back to
England, where I am now in an
American hospital feeling fine
and itching to get back to the
fray.
"Five members of my squadron
reported that f went down in
flames, so when I reported from
the hospital that I was still with
the living, it took no little per
suasion to convince them.
"The doctor tells me that my
face will be free from scars and
pinned down in an open field
by machine gun fire. With three
of six mortars, Russell moved for
ward from a flanking position
to knock out a sniper s nest.
A group of enemy machine
gunners, who had been bypassed
in tne lorward advance, came
up in the rear of the' American
group and caught the unit in a
cross tire.
"We had elected to defend
the guns, but with our very lim
ited firepower, our cause was
pretty hopeless. I told Cy I was
going after a light machine gun.
You tell me how J got out of that
field. I don't know. I do know
that I bettered Warmerdam's rec
ord when I cleared the hedge
row, and when I fell on the other
side I figured the jig was up,
Inched forward through the grass
a bit and sprang up and took off
again. Jesse Owens was a piker.
By the time I got the light ma
chine gun and was on the way
back, the platoon had been forc
ed out of the field, but had giv
en a good account of them
selves. We did get one of the
German guns and several Jerries
were liquidated."
Young Fanatlos Worst.
The toughest Germans to fight
are fanatical youngsters, Russell
reports. "An old-timer in the
German army who was taken
prisoner called them crazy; said
they had no regard for anything.
And they haven't. Even our med
ics aren't safe."
"They hate our artillery. One
night after the artillery had
knocked a determined counter
attack with almost a half hour'R
continuous fire (within 100 yards
of our own front) about 25 of
them sauntered out of a draw
hollering "kamerad!" at the top
of their lungs. One, with elab
orate gestures, showed the artil
lery was driving them crazy.
Insolenoe Vanishes.
"After one artillery barrage
one day, we took an officer who
Informed us his men couldn't
stand It. 'What you aren't kill
ing ore going crazy,' ho said. You
see, most of those Jerries aren't
the supermen they are cracked
up to be. A lot of them arc inso
lent and arrogant, but I've seen
too many of them throw away
their arms and scream 'kame
rad!' when they get cornered
and have no fpeling except that,
however long It may take, we'll
kirk the pants off them."
Lieutenant Russell is a gradu
ate of Koselmig high school and
! University of Oregon school of
journalism. He began his news
paper work as school reporter for
the News-Review, went to Boise
following graduation from the
university and became spoils
editor of the Idaho Statesman.
His father is linotype foreman
at the News-Review and was re
cently elected grand master ol
the I. O. 0. F. lodge in Oregon.
that In about six weeks I will be
as good as new, which makes me
feel that these Fultons are tough
enough for most anybody's
league."
