Phone 2428 FOR 'CURE LUCE Helen Gahagan Douglas and Quentin Reynolds Hit G. I. Joe Speech of Republican. By Ernest Barcella United Press Correspondent Chicago Stadium, July 21. (U.R) The Democrats had a double-barreled answer for the Republicans' Clare Boothe Luce and her "G. I. Jim speech a movie actress who matched her glamor and a war correspondent who said nobody could presume to talk for G. I. Joe or G. I. Jim. From the very rostrum where Connecticut's Mrs. Luce turned on the charm and oratory for the GOP three weeks ago, Helen Gahagan Douglas and Corre spondent Quentin- Reynolds did the same in that order for the Democrats last night. Glamor Too Miss Gahagan, California na tional committeewoman and wife of Movie Star Melvin Doug las, didn't give away anything to Mrs. Luce in the glamor and fashion departments. And she got in a few good oratorical licks, too. The ample Mr. Reynolds won speech-making honors. He took Mrs. Luce across his knees f 1 g u r a tively speaking and spanked her for having brought the spirit of a dead soldier ("G. I. Jim") into this convention hall last month. , Leaning over the podium as if he were chatting with a cou ple of friends, instead of ad dressing a jam-packed crowd of 30,000, Reynolds confided: "Now I do not propose to speak for your son abroad, and I would never commit the un holy sacrilege of speaking for his dead brother who had been killed In combat." Then The Spanking Then came the spanking for Mrs. Luce: "No man or woman can SMASHING AND SUMMER t'lwm str ammmfmmimv m1 apt CONTINUES UNTIL AUGUST 1st BASEMENT BARGAINS One Large Group of Smart DRESSES MANY TAKEN FROM OUR MAIN FLOOR STOCK $4-88 2 s800 Slack Suits AN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE SELECTION!

We can only ac cept his sacrifice humbly and not presume to speak for him with our unworthy tongues. Nor can any of us speak politically for the G. I. who fights tonight." That brought the house down. With a note of reverence in his voice, Reynolds spoke of the G M I's with whom he has lived in combat. These men, he said, know what they're fighting for. No body has to tell them. They have re-discovered America on the fields of Normandy and on the blood-stained sands of Sai pan and they are, he said, fight ing for this America "for the right to bawl out the umpire." And they want the forthcom ing presidential campaign to be fought cleanly, he continued, because to them it is "an argu ment strictly 'in the family,' and if it is conducted in any other manner there will be a sharp re action from them." They want no name-calling in the campaign because "they have room in their hearts for onlv one hatred the enemy," he said. Rev. Ward Rice to Speak at Outdoor Services Sunday Ward A. Rice, pastor of the First Christian Church, will be speaker at the Union Services sponsored by the Medford Min isterial association to be held in the City Park Sunday at 4:30 p. m. He has chosen to speak on the theme "Christ, the Hope of WAMT PACKERS and SORTERS Apply in Person BEAR CREEK ORCHAR South Pacific Highway 99 NO REFUNDS NO EXCHANGES NO APPROVLAS the World!" Special music will be furnished by Miss Verene Bailey and Miss Treva Rice. . Congregational singing will be in charge of Mr. and Mrs. John ' Eby.
