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

July 20, 1H44, bomb plot on Hit
ler's life."

Manfred Rommel, 17-year-old son
of the Gorman "desert fox."
Young Rommel confirmed that

ing an American air raid, but said

Rkull fracture and shell splinters
in nis lace.
"On Oct. 14. he told me that
Hitler had given him a choice of
poisoning himself or being im
prisoned and later condemned
by a peoples court,' the state
ment said.
' "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

The Pacific Northwest light

ship switched back from Jack
Kiser to Paavo Katonen in the
main event of the weekly card
at the Roseburg armory Satur
day night, the Finn winning the
only fall of the one-hour battle.
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.

Extend Far Into 1946
CINCINNATI, Aug. 4 (AP)
Secretary of Agriculture Ander
son predicted here today that
food shortages will continue well
into 1946. He said that should the
war with Japan end this year,

lief" in the food situation.
"European agriculture will im
prove this year and be on a fairly
good plane next year," he said.
"The armed forces will still have
a great many men to feed even
if the war ends this year, and we
will have to continue for another
year to put Europe on its feet ag
riculturally." Labor Recruiter

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.
