TWELVE MEDFORD MAIL LT: E AERIAL EXPLOITS Former Medford Man Wins Air Medal on Flight North east of New Ireland. Somewhere In New' Guinea, June 17 Lt. General George C. Kenney, commander of the allied air forces in the southwest Pacific, has awarded an air medal to First Lt. Lawrence N. Schade, 592 North Summer St., Salem, Ore. The citation Is as follows: For meritorious achievement while participating In an aerial flight northeast of New Ireland ' on 19 February 144. These ot ficers and enlisted men were on the crew of the leading B-25 on a strike against enemy shipping reported noar Kaut Bay. Prior to sighting the convoy, a hostile subchaser was observed and Im mediately a strafing and bomb ing run was made, scoring a direct hit that completely de stroyed the vessel. After reform ing, the formation attacked the main body of Japanese ships. Since their own bomb load was expended, this crew singled out an escorting destroyer, which was throwing up an Intense antiaircraft barrage, and press ed twelve low-altitude strafing runs, silencing all of the war ship's guns and thereby aiding the other planes In making smooth bombing runs on the convoy. The courage and devo tion to duty displayed on this occasion are worthy of commen dation. Lt. Schade, a graduate of St. Mary's academy, Is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Schade of 989 South Oakdale avenue.

(U.R Oil- Zr?Ztl" ."31. Allies appear headed for in several parts of Tennessee may play an Im portant part In the state's post war future when deeper wells are drilled, State Geolist Walter F. Pond predicted. Prospects, he said, are definite i i' ly promising in the Cumberland Plateau area to the west of the Great Smokey Mountains and! around the highland rim which encircles Nashville. "Five companies are either drilling or buying up oil leases in the Cumberland section near Crossville which is Tennessee's current 'hot spot,' " the state geologist reported but declined to pass judgment on the commer cial possibilities of the area. Companies now keeping their fingers on the oil pulse of this region include the Kingwood Oil Co., a large independent firm; the Ohio Oil Co., which holds leases on some 100,000 acres of land east of Crossville; Sun Oil Co., with extensive lease-holds in Rhea and Bledsoe counties; Ash land Oil and Refining Co., now actively at work in Scott and! iviurgan uuumies; ana ine iiuiui em Ordnance Co., also having an Interest in Scott and Morgan counties, "I would say that over 500 wells have been drilled in Ten nessee, but only a few have gone deeper than 500 feet and the average depth would be even less than that," Dr. Pond pointed out. "The state's deepest well was drilled just west of Browns ville and measures about 4,000 feet." Dr. Pond believes that deeper drilling will uncover latent oil producing possibilities that have not yet even been tapped. Ten- nessee welIs now produCe less than 20.000 barrels of oil a vear. tcau." he said. Prospects in por- tlons of middle and west Ten nessee also will bear watching, but most of east Tennessee can be counted out because the earth layers are so intensely faulted and folded that it is doubtful oil could have been pocketed and preserved even if it were at one time present." Dr. Joseph T. Antony of Law ton, Okla., has purchased the residence at 2303 Hillcrest road from Dr. and Mis W. G. Bishop and with his family expects to take up residence here about August 1. Dr. and Mrs. Antony have been in Medford for the past week and the transaction, made through the Mark Goldy agency, was completed the latter part of the week, Dr. Antony has practised in ternal medicine and obstetrics in Lawton since 1919 and expects i..n, i n,. i,. f medicine here. The Antonys have four chil dren, the eldest 16 years of age and the youngest five months old. Dr. Antony states that the family made four or five motor tours of the west In recent years and decided upon southern Oregon for their future home. Tho Bishops are now making their home In California, Dr. Bishop being on active duty with the navy.

ANTONY BUYS DR. BISHOP HIE Invasion Trends Babson Discusses Effect of Invasion Upon Our Principal Markets Babson Park, Mass., June 16 (Special Correspondence) Readers of this column are al ready asking me what effect the Invasion will have on the prices of stocks, bonds, commodities and real estate. Frankly, it is too early to tell what will happen Paris and early fall of Paris is essential to the Allied psycho logical phase. It may be the signal for the underground Con tinental army, estimated at 12, 000,000, to begin action. The Allies must also secure. almost immediately, a number of d rporAs' Undoubtedly i these will be Le Havre and Cherbough and Brest. These three ports have excellent facilities and were used by the Americans in World War I. Hence, our men are fa miliar with thorn. After certain beachheads are secured, it will be necessary to spend many weeks in getting supplies and men ashore before the real Ber lin drive can be started. Of course the Germans may be willing to easily give us Paris with the idea of saving their strength for resisting Allied occupation of the German Fatherland. Is Bulliih or Bearish Position Justified? In my talks with experts since the invasion started, there seems to be two Iines of thougnt wnich are quite different. Some feel that early Allied success will bring about a "peace scare, This would be especially bearish on railroads, heavy industry and other war stocks: yet some mar ket analysts are taking the op posite position. Tley are in clined to be bullish on every thing whether the Allies are initially successful or meet with heavy reverses. It may be that the pattern of this great invasion will follow that set in the Italian campaign. There it took months to land suf ficient supplies and men, but once these were ashore progress has been most rapid. There will necessarily be many trial and error sorties in the invasion plan. The markets took the initial news in their stride and in an optimistic manner. Natur ally, the actual Invasion was dis counted, but there' was no way for the stock market to discount whether the initial move would be successful or not. Now that we are over the first hurdle, the market must digest the first news, prepare itself for unforeseen contin gencies and await the success or failure of the trial and error moves mentioned above. It may be some weeks before sufficient information is at hand to moke any real forecasts. 1 tt ' We Have In Slock Olhar OLIVER Parts and Equipment We cordially In.

"': .. er" aV.fT A Blue (? i GoofEy Supply and Demand Continue to Functionl Without any qualifications, I can safely impress upon my read ers at this time that prices of stocks, bonds, commodities or real estate will depend upon whether there is an excess of sellers or an excess of buyers. Irrespective of theories, or ir respective of precedents, and ir respective of wars, panics, poll tics or administration controls, when there are more buyers for stocks, bonds, commodities and real estate tSan there are sellers, then prices will go (up; con versely, when there are more sellers than buyers prices go down. There is, of course, one other factor in this situation, namely, the position which results when buyers and sellers are about equal. In such a case, neither in vasion for any other factor would materially affect prices. Under this condition, however, the tendency would be for cer tain selected stocks to go for ward. Bonds would remain about as they are. Commodities would decline and productive real estate would continue its upward move. The demand for residential real es tate, I should also expect to con tinue in volume. Personally, for me lime being, I am not Inclined to see any great change one way or the other, although I continue extremely optimistic on the long-pull outlook for all except nign-graae bonds. FATHER AND SON SOLO Tayetteville, Ark. (U.R) It was another "like father like son" case recently when R. H. Waters and Holland Waters learned to fly. The father's in terest was stimulated when he gave his son, Roland, a solo course for his 18th birthday. The fact that he was teaching stu dents in the aircrew program at the University of Arkansas led the father to go on and learn what his son was learning and so they completed the solo course together. WHEN DOBBIN KING Omaha, Neb. (U.R) Old-time city ordinances recently uncover ed by attorneys dealing into Omaha's past, took up nearly every phase of horseback riding even to a regulation govern ing man's consumption before mounting his steed.

(U.R) A postman never knows what he is going to find when he opens a mail box these days, according to C. H. Baker, superintendent of the mails here.
