10 ROTARY SPEAKER A sweeping change In the system of international diplo macy to assure the people getting the facts concerning warlike moves of neighboring countries before it is too late, was vigor ously advocated by Dr. Hugh Grant, former U. S. minister to Albania and Siam, in an ad dress here Tuesday. Speaking before the Medford Rotary club at the Hotel Medford, Dr. Grant said "guns should be kept tram' ed upon Japan long after the close of the war" and that the U. S. should withdraw from European affairs when order has been established. The speaker predicted that the war with Germany would prob ably last at least another year, and the war with Japan two or three years longer. He spoke with the authority of a diplomat close to the international picture before the opening of the present world war. Dr. Grant reported to the State Department the arm ing of Germany in 1936 ano passed on the warning of King Zog of Albania when he was minister to that country. The speaker was assigned to Thai land and was there when the Jap thrust was made into Indo-China and Siam was made. Here again his warnings to the State De partment, like those of Ambas sador Grew's, were "pigeoi holed." Dr. Grant Is now vocational rehabilitation officer for Oregon, Veteran's Administration. Ex amples of practical rehabilita tion of veterans were cited in his concluding remarks. William A. Gates was Rotary program chairman and Morris B. Leonard introduced the speaker and pre sided at the meeting. Orville Kingman spoke brief ly In behalf of the Jackson County Public Health associa tion's current blood donor pro gram. T LI In the British Battle Line, France, June 13. U.R There are the beginning of signs that the Germans are getting groggy and their transport shot up and disorganized as the allied inva sion of Normandy goes into its second week. r.vn now, while the enemy's armor Is staging a desperate counterattack against allied tanks thrusting toward the southern coast of the Cherbourg peninsula below Caen, our troops are subjected to practi cally no shelling. Reconnaissance forces say they have seen the Germans try ing to get artillery up to the front by horse. Country roads are lined with the wreckage of enemy vehicles with their dead horsepower lying in the shafts where our artillery or airplanes caught them. The Germans are working feverishly to get a new ram shackle railroad system working into the peninsula to replace the network practically bombed out of action by allied air power. There also are signs that they are trying to get supplies up to their hard-pressed forward troops by waterways.

Make Your Selections While Stocks Are Complete 75c-55.50 MOISTS SLOW IN PURCHASE OF TAX STICKERS Only "moderate sale" of fed erad auto tax stamps has been noted thus far at the Medford post office where the stickers went on sale last Saturday, it was stated today by Postmaster Frank DeSouza. Sales through yesterday numbered 492 stamps. Priced at $5 for the one-year period, the stamp evidences pay ment of the federal auto tax for the fiscal year beginning July 1, and law required that it be purchased on or before that date. It is transferable with the ve hicle, and is required for any motor vehicle operating on pub lic highways. If the vehicle is in storage or out of use in July, it will become subject to tax as of the month in which it is placed In use, and a stamp effective for the re mainder of the fiscal year may be purchased from the collector of internal revenue at Portland. As the period remaining in the fiscal year shortens, the stamp lessens in price accordingly. Post offices have discontinued sale of auto tax stamps of less than $5 denomination, and vehicle own ers liable for payment of the tax for a period of less than a full year must obtain stamps from the Portland office. As precaution against loss or theft, it is suggested that each motor vehicle owner make a record of the serial number ap pearing on the stamp. In Oregon all stamps are re quired to be placed in the upper left-hand corner of the inside of the windshield. Failure to pur chase and display the new tax stamp on vehicles used on the public highway on or after July 1 will subject the violators to severe penalties imposed by law, it is pointed out.
