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. Upshaw, for eight years
a member of the United States
congress from Georgia, will speak
at the First Baptist church Thurs
day at 8 p. m. His subject will be
"Who Shall Rule the World God
and the Right or Hitler, Japs and
the Devil?"
In 1932, Upshaw was a "dry"
candidate for president. He has
been called the "successor to Wil
liam Jennings Bryan as the cham
pion of national righteousness."
During his years in public life
Upshaw has spoken to high school
and college student bodies In 42
states. He offers a dollar to a stu
dent answering certain constitu
tional questions, also a dollar bill
ii offered to "anyone who goes to
sleep" during his talk.

Rising Sun on Shell
At the Clarence E. Stewart
home, 802 Mill street, Spring
field, they are in a bit of quan
dary. One of the New Hampshire
Red hens in the Stewart flock
laid a amall egg with a perfect
"rising sun" on one side.
"If I knew which hen laid
this I'd be tempted to put her in
a good stew," said Stewart.
Then an observer came back
quickly with hi: "Well, you

Dewey Compares
Smith To Hitler
SPRINGFIELD, 111., Aug. 1.
C4) Gov. Thomas E. Dewey today
charged Gerald L. K. 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.
Cottage Grove Bean
Platoons Are Working
School children in the two bean
picking platoons recently organ
ized at Cottage Grove were work
ing Tuesday, Ray Bower, county
farm labor assistant, reported.
One of the platoons was taken
to the Bartell bean fields at Cres
well and the second one was to
have started work in the Hankin
yard at Goshen but the beans
were not quite ready there and
the entire platoon was brought on
to Eugene where the members
were distributed among three dif
ferent yards in this vicinity. Don
Kabler, vocational teacher at the
Cottage Grove high school,
brought them down in the school
bus.
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.

story, the United States will not
suffer but gain, if we devote gen
erously of our resources in an all
out effort to create a new inter
national and moral world order
founded on the recognition of the
worth and rights of man as man,"
Smith continued.
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

Draft Status Shifts
For Men Over 25
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. 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.
