If you were Usdead. you were DEAD. If you ""Were injured, ybu would be taken A LEGITIMATE SQUAWK By Charles V. Stantos A good niAny newspaper readers and advertisers have re cently had reaffirmed the truth of the old adage, "you never miss the water until the well runa dry." Newspaper strikes in several of the Jarge cities of the nation have served to 8how very definitely the important pavt news papers play in. the average person's life. We go along from day to day accepting the newspaper as a routine service without realizing how essential H is, nor how we would be affected if we were denied access to it. When a strike of the Newspaper and Mail Deliverers' Union prevented delivery of New York City's principal dailies for a period of 17 days, retail sales dropped as much as 15 per cent, according to Hardest hit were mail orders mer clearance sales and fur stores and specialty shops had to be postponed. First post strike newspaper issues carried record advertising volume. , In Birmingham, Alabama, where members of the typo graphical union went on a strike, Mayor W. Cooper Green, attempting to arbitrate the dispute, stated that: '.''Department store sales are off; movie attendance has slumped; real estate deals have been hampered; the city is ; without a medium for It legal advertising; the War Chest solicitation may have to be postponed for lack of publicity. As a result our 268,000 citizen are lost, flnNew York, the Bureau of Advertising of the American Newspaper Publishers association employed the services of Fact Finders Associates, Inc., a nationally-known organi zation, to conduct a cross-section survey on New York streets to determine how the strike affected readers. Questioned whether news by radio was satisfying the need for news, 76.6 per cent of the people interviewed answered in the negative, while almost an equal number, 74.2 per cent, held the opinion they were missing the important part of national and war news, and 70.9 per cent felt they were missing the most important part of the local news. In the matter of advertising, 79.1 per cent of the women interviewed deplored loss of newspaper advertising. The reason advertisers stress the "appeal to women" in adver tising copy was supported by the fact that only 56.8 of the men interviewed missed advertising. Editorial ego received a boost when, in answering ques tions regarding what departments or features, usually ap pearing in their newspapers, were missed most, editorials received first listing, news of sports, war, and general fol lowed in close order, slightly outranking comics, which ip turn, bpre a slight edge over commentators. The summary of the findings concluded : Together, the answer to the aurvey serve to emphasize anew the indlspensabllity of the newspaper; the Inadequacy of radio new service a a substitute, In the minds of most people, and the tremendous variety of interest which bind people every where to their dally paper. Having studied very carefully all of the reports on surveys from cities with strike-bound newspapers, we have reached the conclusion that a subscriber to THIS news paper, has a legitimate squawk if his carrier misses a delivery. Rommel Killed Himself. Son Says BAD TOLZ, Germany, Ailg 6 'AP) A son of Marshal Erwin Rommel declared n a sworn statement here that his father committed suicide as an alter native to a death sent nee passed by a people's court "because he was suspected of complicity in the July 20, 1H44, bomb plot on Hit ler's life."

' "Hitler informed him that in case ol suicide nothing would hap pen to the family. On the con- tviii'v, he would take care of the mmiiy.

It was the fourth meeting of the grapplers since Kiser annexed the title from Katopen more than a year ago. One of those follow up clashes was staged in Rose burg, the Finn scoring a victory that did not regain his crown because he was over the class weight of 180 pounds. Last Sat urday night he tinned the scales at 177, to Riser's 174. The titular clash here saw Kat onen at his roughest. During the hectic first round lasting 41 min. um, it auuuiius me c inn twice hurled Kiser through the ropes and floored Referee Jack Mitch ell, a Washington state mat of ficial, in retaliation for repeated warnings to quit his foul tactics. which included about every known violation of the rules. He was unable to fasten his deadly hangman hold on Kiser, but up ended him and slammed him head downward on the mat In the piledrlver finale of the per iod. In the succeeding 18 minutes 16 seconds of the pout, neither man gained a fall, and the de cision automatically went to Kat onen. In that period, Kiser damp en aooui a pozen cmropracuc headlocks on his foe in a desper ate effort to even the score, but the Finn had too much endur ance, holding out until the gong sounded. Franco Wins Opener In the preliminary bout, Milt Olson defeated himself after he and Louis Franco had each gain, ed a fall. Missing a second shoul der butt, Olson plunged head foremost through the ropes and onto the floor, landing with such stunning lorce that he was un oble to even regain his feet with in the count of 20 seconds. The first fall went to Franco on three successive Irish whiplashes, fol lowed by a Japanese arm bar. Time: 14:03. Olson got revenge In the second round in the fast time of 3:12 wilh a Boston crab.

Beavers, 8 Games Ahead of Rainiers, In Sight of Flag (By the Associated Press) Portland's Beavers, virtually landed the Pacific Coast league pennant at Hollywood last week, headed home today for a final series with the runner-up Seattle Rainiers, who are trailing their northwest rivals by eight games. The hapless Stars dropped three straight to the circuit lead ers over the weekend to give the Beavers a 7-1 edge in the series. The Movietown club lost 3-6 Saturday and 4-7, 5-14 Sunday for its 13th defeat in the last 14 games wi.th Portland and 24th out of 29 for the season. Seattle salvaged a series with the San Francisco Seals by win ning both ends of a Sunday twin bill 17-4 and 6-3 after dropping Saturday's encounter 7-8 to make it five put of eight for the week. Sacramento brought further woe to southern California's rep resentatives in the league by overwhelming the Los Angeles Angels with an 8-1 series victory, winning 3-0 Saturday and 5-3, 3-2 Sunday. The Solons are now firmly situated in third place, four tilts ahead of the Seals and Oakland Acorns. The Oaks moved Into a tie with San Francisco for fourth by beat ing the San Diego Padres six out of nine, sweeping the weekend contest 13-5 Saturday and 4-2, 8-3 yesterday. Barton Badly Hurt The Beavers hammered five Hollywood pitchers for 29 hits Sunday. Liska, aging submariner, held the Stars to eight safeties in the curtain raiser for his 17th win of the season. Mossor turned in a seven-hit job to cop the night cap. Portland's stay at the movie capital may have proved costly, however. Larry Barton, ace first baseman, suffered a possible an kle fracture in the first game and was carried from the field. Seattle went the Beavers one better in the matter of hits, rat tling out 30 yesterday with 21 reg istered in the 17-4 opener. Hal Turpin won No. 11 and his sec ond of the week in the loosely played tilt that saw the Seals commit six errors. Demoran tossed the Rainiers to victory in the 6-3 afterpiece.
