Heroism at Anzio Of CpL E.B.Clark Wins Silver Star Corporal Eldred B. Clark, son of J. E. Clark, Southern Pacific company agent at Roseburg, Is the subject of a most Interesting article written by T-5 E. Glenn Harmon, combat reporter, for the Camp Roberts Dispatch. Corporal Clark, who joined the regular army in 1936, now has 135 points accummuhited for dis charge, but proposes to remain In the peacetime army. I is com bat experience started with the invasion of North Africa and continued with the 3rd "Rock of the Marne" division through Sicily, Italy, Southern France and Germany. He was overseas from October, 1942, until March, 1945. He is the possessor of the Silver Star, Purple Heart, Combat In fantryman badge, European-African-Middle Eastern campaign ribbons with seven battle stars, American Defense ribbon and Good Conduct medul. In First Wave at Anzio Reporter Harmon reports Corp. Clark's exploit, for which he was awarded the Silver Star as fol lows: Then came Anzio beachhead. For Clark, a private first class. It was the fourth invasion. "I went In on the first wave at Anzio," lie remarked. "I'd quit driving a jeep and was an ammu nition bearer in a machine gun crsw. There was no opposition (It all for several days, Then we SECRECY AT POTSDAM By Cherles V. Stanton Widespread suspicion is resulting from the secrecy which surrounds the Potsdam conference. Peoples of the world are Intensely interested in the success of the Bg Three meeting, realizing that it Involves the problem of peace and security, for which tremendous sacrifices in blood are still being made. The public wants more news than the color of President Truman's new suit, the trimmings on the ban quet table, or the fact that the President attended both Protestant and Catholic church servr.es. Press and radio have vigorously protested exclusion of their representatives but without avail. Undoubtedly re porters have been barred from the conference upon the in sistence of Stalin, who disagrees with freedom of the press as practiced in Great Britain and' the United States, and who tells the .Russian press what it may or may not publish. But it seems to us it is time the United States and Great Britain quit kowtowing to Russia, We have already gone too far, we believe, in a policy of appeasement in meeting Stalin's denjarids involving violation of our own traditional doctrines. Former Governor Charles A. Spragne, editor of The Oregon, Statesrimn, published at Salem, does not agree with criticism 'of Potsdam secrecy. He says : This l a cloud session of the three beads of state who are to disouss the gravest question confronting the world at the moment. It Is most Important that the utmost frank ness prevail so that each may learn the Idea and purpose of the others. To assume this frankness would exist with reporter sitting In hearing distance of the discussion I absurd. And unlet reporters attend the session they must depend on official handouts, which Is what they are promised. Newspaper should realise there I a basic difference between statecraft and reporting. The former deals with pollole In the making. They may be broached and then rejected. They may Be nebulous to begin with and then take shape as discussions proceed. To have all the world listening to the give and take ef conference would promote confusion And misunderstanding. Editor Sprague's point, we believe!, would be well taken if the Potsdam conference were to be opened to the public on the scale of the United Nations conference at San Fran cisco, which we consider an example of how press relations of an important meeting should not be handled. Hundreds of reporters and commentators, completely unqualified for such an Important assignment, attempted to publicly in terpret the conference. Persons having no connection with press or radio were given press privileges to further con fuse the situation. Certainly the secrecy of the Potsdam con ference is more to be desired than the unrestrained liberties granted at San Francisco. But at numerous 'times at important meetings, because of various conditions, the general press could not be admit ted ad selected representatives of leading news associa tions were assigned to act for the press as a whole. They were persons fully qualified and competent to report facts, yet able to keep in confidence those things requiring secrecy. Thus it was trained newspapermen who distributed the "handouts," not some propaganda agency official. Some similar arrangement at the Potsdam conference would ease public anxiety and eliminate suspicion. We must realize, of course, that the secrecy of the Pots dam conference is being used as a weapon of propaganda in the "war of nerves." Japan is anxious to know Russia's intentions. As long as she can Soviet military might Is to be thrown into the Pacific war, the Japs are kept on the anxious seat. But the very effectiveness of this "secret" weapon is tied up in exploitation by newspaper and radio. If the press and radio should suddenly refuse to mention the Potsdam conference, ignoring it completely as an item of news, then this propaganda weapon of secrecy would prove a "dud." The Big Three must rely upon their conference. Whatever their decision may be, they must distribute their information through the mediums set up for the dissemination of must use the press, not only as their agency to report their final . determinations, it would seem that the press should at least be permitted to select a qualified representative to sit in as an observer and official news "hander-outer." started getting in trouble. "We made a big attack. Our machine gun crew was moving forward and got just on the crest of a hill when the Jerries opened up on us from the forward slope of the hill. Thr gunner was wounded. I took his place. The newspapers say I was still firing when tanks came up to my sup port." The rest of this Silver Star winning exploit was hard to get. Hesitantly Corp. Clark admitted that it was true that he sat in that exposed position for about a half hour, duelling with Jerries throwing machine gun, murtur, rifle ami machine pistol fire at him. When the Germans opened fire. the machine gun had not been dug in was just sitting on top ot the hill. At one time during the fight lie ran out of ammuni tion. Sticks Despite Wound ' "I was sitting there all alone, yelling for ammunition," he re called, speaking In a quiet voice. "One man had enough guts to try to bring it to me. He got to me with the ammunition, but Just as he handed it to me, a German rifle grenade hit beside him, less than two feet from me, and killed him." Corp. Clark was wounded dur ing the fight, taking a shot in the right shoulder, hut refused to leave his position. He wouldn't say now-effective his fire was. but admitted: "I was doing all right." Finally,, four American tanks came to the support of the fone machine gan. Tluto tanks gave support to the - fourth u t ROSEBURG' NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG ' OREGON.

"The Jerries what was loft of them surrendered when the tanks came up," he said. Only Mi ui-rmans were still alive from tne units facing him.

Three Mat Bouts Billed to Select Riser's Opponent Buck "Blood and Guts" David son Is the hottest thing in wrest ling togs at the present time after walloping Jack Lipscomb here Saturday night to the delight of Douglas county grappling fol lowers. The triumph wan only slightly more popular than the victory of Walt "Sneze" Achlu over Jack Kiser, current king oT Pacific coast light-heavyweights. And now both Davidson, the tough ex-marine from Texas, and Achiu, the Chinese Jiu-jitsu ex. pert, are clamoring for a title match against the talented St Johns youngster. Matchmaker Don Owen an nounced here Wednesday that he could not award either of the two matmen a championship bout against Kiser and pointed out the Dresence of several other strong contenders. Owen, therefore, has scheduled a four-man, single-elimination tournament to decide the rightful challenger and the tour ney will be featured here at the armory next Saturday. Owen would not announce the idenity of the other two prin cipals. Although they are almost certain to agree to complete, ne was unable to identify them until contracts were signed and sealed. Method of staging the elimina tion affair will be to have all four contestants enter the ring simul taneously and draw for opponents in the two preliminary 30-mlnute engagements. The two winners will then return for the finale in which Riser's next opponent will be decided. The matches will be over 30-mlnute time limits one fall or by the referee s decision. The three-match program is ex pected, to attract the largest crowd of the season regardless of the other two matmen. Davidson and Achiu have both amassed enviable records here and fans are anticipating one of KRNR Mutual Broadoattlng 8ytm, 1490 KMooyolea.
