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. His

TRIBUNE Sunday, June IB. 1944
Nashville, Tenn. (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

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

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

mounting his steed. One ordin
ance made it unlawful for a man
to indulge or partake of intoxi
cating liquors before going for
a ride.

Springfield, Mo. (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. Baker reports
that a man recently mailed his
spectacles in a mail box and then
even forgot to inquire for them.
"Goodness knows what he may
have done with the letter his
wife gave him to mail," Baker
says. For that matter, the super
intendent reports, postmen find
all sorts of things in mail boxes
even a soldier's overseas cap!

lead them, guide them. 4. Don't
