Newspaper Page TextPf i Cugena ltegUter-Guard, Tuesday, August 1, 1944 Rev.L. T. Holman Called To Home Of Missing Kin Bkium hi brother, Harold E. Holman, 29, navigator In the air transport command, hat been re ported missing with a transport plana between Iceland and New foundland, Rev. Lawrence T. Hol man, pastor of the Church of the Nazarene In Eugene, has flown east to the home of the brother's wife and his mother, at Alexan dria. Va. ' Harold Holman was bound from Scotland to Mitchell Field, N. Y., with 18 wounded soldiers as pas sengers and eight crew members, but failed to arrive. A message received from the plane shortly before It was re ported overdue, said they were running short of fuel. As this is a regular run and had been made countless times before, running short of fuel was something which could not occur unless either sabo tage or negligence had happened. A search is being conducted by 160 planes and numerous coast guard crafts, not so much in hope of finding survivors In the Icy waters, as of finding some clue which will give explanation of the accident. Mrs. Gruce Holman of Glendale, Calif., the mother, had gone east to visit, only recently. She had been at her son's home but a few days when he was called to duty on this trip which was to take but four days. Harold Holman formerly lived in Glendale, Calif., also, as an em ploye of Transcontinental Western Air lines. Upshaw to Speak Wm. D.

Smith, head of the America First Inc., with a "sinister effort to smear" Gov. John W. Bricker of Ohio, the GOP vice-presidential nominee. Commenting on the action of the America First group in "nominat ing" Bricker as a running mate for Smith, its presidential candidate, Dewey said at a presB conference: "Gerald Smith is one of those rabble rousers who, like Adolf Hitler, makes racial prejudices his stock in trade. "His contemptible attempt to as sociate himself with Gov. Bricker is a sinister efofrt to smear the re publican candidate for vice-president." Bricker previously had repudi ated the America First action, as serting in Ohio he knew nothing about the matter.

Most of the bean growers around Eugene were pretty well supplied with pickers Tuesday, Bower said.

'Meanest Thief Robs Elderly Man Somewhere In Eugene, Oregon's meanest thief may be spending his ill gotten galna today. Eugeneans, Tuesday, who heard the unhappy tale of the grandfather of a Eu gene child, will heartily concede that the thief, whoever he or she is. is the state's meanest, for he took advantage of a grieving and over-wrought grandfather. James A. Rowland, 65, who lives four miles from Salem, was lis tening to his radio Monday morn ing when he hoard the announc er tell of the Sunday picnic trag edy on the Sluslaw highway in which several children were killed. One of the little girls names was Beverly Rolen, 12. Grand father Rowland just hearing the name and not knowing the differ ence in spelling was beside him self thinking It was his little granddaughter Beverly Rowland, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Rowland of Eugene. Overcome with grief and anxi ety he walked the four miles Into Salem and caught the next bus for Eugene. It was when the old gentleman took out his old-fashioned draw-string purse and bought his ticket lhat the meanest thief saw his savings. Somewhere between Salem and EuRene he took the purse and its $200 con tents from Grandfather Rowland,' Greyhound bus officials have searched the bus which only went as far as Medford and have found no purse; so It was not lost but was in someone's pocket, they conclude. The purse contained a $50 check on the Ladd and Bush bank of Salem, which was endorsed by James F. Rowland. Grandfather Rowland, although happy that his own little Beverly Is safe, was hoping Tuesday that perhaps Eu gene merchants would be able at least to find this part of his savings. air we breathe; when we have emerged from this stench and blood, the terror and hatred into which we again were forced, then we shall realize the enormity of the transgression of those false prophets of 1920." Eplo Moment Since Pearl Harbor we have faced the truth that we are in one of the epic moments of his tory that decide the course of cen turies, such as when Grecian civ ilization held off the Persians, or again when Charles Martel's heroic fighters died to save western civ ilization from the Saracen, the speaker added, continuing: "Ger many and Japan know that they are about to perish by the terms which they imposed on this con flict; lhat it is a war for their survival now and they must tight ruthlessly and desperately. We too had to have such a realization be fore we were prepared for what this war would bring to try our souls." "We have come out of our sel fish Isolation and we have assumed once more a role of courage, self respect and helpfulness," Smith said, concluding with the comment: "And It Is good to know that Woodrow Wilson is about to win his fight. The 'Unknown Soldier' did not die in vain." Smith was introduced by Dr. Frederick M. Hunter, chancellor of higher education In the state. While In Eugene, Smith called on a number of friends. He and Mrs. Smith are leaving for their ranch in eastern Oregon lo be there during the August harvests. Smith reports he is not plan ning to start his active campaign in the senate race until right after Labor day in September.

Hits Isolationists Undoubtedly, this country will find Itself again "heckled by the forces of isolation, by demogogues and politicians in and out of con gress like those who fought Wood' row Wilson and sneered at our helping to make the world safe for democracy, the speaker com mented, adding: "Always there is a group of Borahs and Lodges and Jim Reeds, or of Wheelers, and Nyes. and Hamilton Fishes, who cherish hatreds to the exclusion of great principles, who follow a policy of 'scuttle and run' in their passion for personal aggrandize ment or In their practice of vent ing political spite with Its ac companying plays for partisan and racially prejudiced votes. But thev will not prevail again! ' The next treaty settlement will be ratified by men who are work ing for peace, not for party; men who work for security, not for self, Smith said, declaring he was certain of this "because, when we have endured the ordeal which still lies before us, when we have completed the all-out mobilization which was necessary if we were to survive, when we have paid the price in casualties and mater- I ial necessary yet If we would save the freedom and liberty to which we are as accustomed as to the Capture Ot Florence Believed Imminent ROME, Aug. 1 u.

They were driven out again, how ever, under a storm of gunfire from strong British defenses in side the town. Four miles to the east, south African units- beat off strong enemy counterthrusts against San Andrea, while other British units on their right flank battled Ger man infantrymen defending the Greve river crossings about seven miles south of Florence. Eleven miles southeast of Flor ence, the British were firmly in control of Monte Scalar!, after repulsing five enemy counterat tacks. The Germans held the north bank of the Hiesco river, 16 miles southeast of Florence, with the British in possession of Castel franco and Faella, just south of the river. Hard fighting continued at the center of the Italian front, where the British were pushing slowly north and northeast of Arezzo against stubborn German resistance.

OP) State draft directors have. been ordered to resume drafting men over 25 who are making no con tribution to the war effort. The order, selective service of ficials said today, took the form of a letter from Draft Director Lewis B. Hershey directing them to conform to the national policy. This policy permits deferment of men 26 through 29 only if they are "necessary men" in essential Industry and men 30 and over only If they are making a substan tial contribution to the war. Some state directors simplified this policy by ordering a "holiday" for all men over 25, regardless of jobs. Hershey's letter said enough time now has elapsed since the policy was announced in May to make It clear to all local. Boards. Hershey also asked for a review of all 1-A's those subject to in duction in order to remove from the class the older registrants whose jobs entitle them to defer ments. Some local boards have been slow in placing these men in occupationally deferred classes, it was said.
