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

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.

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.

ings to Germany amounted to
8,500,000 kroner ($2,125,000.)
The 1943 figure was 60,000,000
