Harry Truman Bays he's dizzy as a pet coon! So Is everyone else, including Porter J Neff, Medford delegate, trying to figure out just what struck the Chicago Stadium at eight o'clock last evening when Wallace was out In front by 100 votes. Porter stuck to Wallace until the deluge, as did five other members of the Oregon delegation; four hopped on the Truman bandwagon and the remaining four went over to Douglas, Incidentally, Thursday's hot tip on Douglas which was sup posed to be "straight from the horse s mouth, now appears not from a horse at all, but from a donkey and what a donkeyl Try to visualize this: Over 2,000 delegates and alternates cheering themselves hoarse for Wallace for three days and nights as they bowed humbly before the shrine of their exalted leader. And then, suddenly abandon' lng their candidate In a body, rushing to a candidate they had not previously given even a bronx cheer and deliberately taking a course which the aforesaid leader declared he would never have taken had he been In their position. It just doesn t make sense; but then what party conventions do? The net result is that President Roosevelt will run for a fourth term not with alter ego Henry Wallace, but with Harry Truman, anti-New Dealer, former Boss Pendergast favorite and at heart a good conservative REPUBLICAN! Chicago Stadium, July 19. Back agalnl But what a difference In the atmosphere No doubt about it now. The Chicago weather man li a 4th term Democrat and expects to be named ambassador to the Island of Yap. Not only Is this a nice mild summer day, but a cool night Is promised and three mora days and nights thereafter, of the same If that doesn't put over Roosevelt and the Yap ambassadorship what can? Yes, few people (outside of Grants Pass) realize what a potent factor In human destiny the climate Is. If we were not blessed by a habitat in the temperate zone we wouldn't be winning the war, as we are, and certainly the delegates to this convention would be not as confident of victory as they are or be having as good a time. And are they enjoying themselvesl We haven t seen so many ' Democrats staged an oratori cal debauch at Chicago Fri. nominating a running mate for the "Indispensable Man." Gloria Swanson of the silent screen I was phesent, and had her dress 'drunks per square inch since the 1026 Cal.-Stanford game! described. A delegate from Wy oming waxed eloquent, and a republican frog got in his throat. Valley-grown corn showed up the past week. The seed of this mid-summer tidbit, were all eaten up by the C. Pheasants last spring, it was then de clared. - The mercury soared to 102.1 degrees the first of the week. Nobody paid any attention to tha .1. A citizen living on the Pacific Hightway counted the gasoline shortage from 14 different states whizzing by his front porch one day last week. It Is only nine weeks until Junior puts on his shirt and re turns to school. ( Royal Brown of the E. Pt. district got back the middle of the week from a month's intern ment in the metropolis. Piscatorial enthusiasts have started displaying members of the finny tribe yanked from the Rogue. Bigger fish have been caught, but all put up the hard est fight in fishing history, e e e The hent of the past week put sugar in the pears, and increas ed the rotundity of the pump kins. J, Tannehlll Walker, past 4, left for Frisco Fri., accompanied by his folks and brother Bob, who will be a year old soon. The name of Wendell Wlllkle, the bright boy of the GOP in 1940, was mentioned several times by the keynote of the New Deal pow-wow. The re ception was as chilly as the one he received in the Wisconsin primary. A large congregation watched the wrestlers sweat at the Ar mory Thurs. eve. The congre gation also sweated, and were quite vehement. G. Averlll, the ex B. Falls teadog, now boatswain of a lo cal gravel pit sailed Into town In mid-week from the outskirts. He is an alumni of the Navy. The weekly warning to the people from Washington, D. C, not to be "too over-optimistic" over the wny the Japs and Hunt are folding up, was swal lowed with the usual handful of salt. The enemy has only start ed to Jump through the hoop, like delegates to the Chicago convention. e Mike Hanley, the Lake Creek tiller towned in mid-week. He reported, due to the shortage of hay-handr, he had to fall back On himself. Sen. Truman of Missouri emerged from a field of 18 can didates, as the New Deal candi date for vice president. He de feated Henry Wallace of Iowa, the Incumbent, who was hoisted on his own petard and stabbed In the back by every political weapon, but his own pitchfork. The voters have started lining Up for and against, four years more of Deputy President Harry Hopkins, star White House boarder. ' reeling, pickling, preserving and processing of apricots kept the Older GUIs hot and busy the past week, , A carnival is headed this way. Citizens are warned not to spend all their money for kew pie dolls, and have nothing to eat next winter but short-ribs of kewple dolls. The Dick Phair girl, Karolyn. and boy Dick, are again at large after being divorced from their aonsUa. And THIS circus has barely opened. Twelve years of prosperity, political prosperity, and absolute conviction there will be at least four years more, have a large part in this change of atmosphere, compared with the sonjbre GOP conclave of nearly a month ago. Nothing succeeds like success. However worried the Demo cratic Board of Strategy may be, and they say the higher-up dopesters like Charley Michclson ARE, the Democratic rank and file as represented here by these delegates are not. The theme song twelve years ago was "Happy Days Are Here Again" it is the theme song now, not one in a hundred here seem to believe it will ever change. (But it will of course some day.) 4 a The fact we are living next to the delegations from Kentucky and Tennessee, and in the "largest hotel in the world" may have something to do with the above impression. Citizens of these two border states have a reputation for liking their liquor, and the number of frosted mint-Juleps that have passed our room since our arrival would surpass the number of atoms in a drop of rain water. if you don t know how many that Is, look it up in the latest edition of the Encyclopedia Britannlca. It is plenty. We haven't found Porter Neff yet, when we do we will try to get him up here to verify this item, for Rawles Moore who hails from the foothills of Kentucky will probably write a letter to the M.T. challenging the truth of it. At this point one of the older gals from Kentucky with a white ribbon across her shirt front emblazoned in gold letters with "Berkley for Vice President" shook her finger at our open window across the court and shouted: "Look a henh suh, don' you peck that thing (typewriter) tonight, as we-all wants to sleep, you quit it when the sun goes down you hear me? and she shook a menacing finger followed by a large grin showing three or four gold teeth. (Rawles will also deny this, no doubt, but It happens to be the historical fact although we don't pretend our dialect is strictly correct.) But to return to the convention. Outside of the change In atmosphere, both climatic and spiritual, this first day at the stadium might have been the first day three weeks ago, the same hall, the same flags and bunting, the same beer and coke and hamburgers, the same reporters, and same empty seats (must have been a thousand both opening days), the same organ and bands, and except for the greater prevalence of a southern accont, the same type of men and women as far as externals are concerned. In a rather careful Inspection of the place before the gavel pounded, we only observed two visible changes: One: Instead of a large poster of Abraham Lincoln hanging from the main girder, a similar colored portrait of Franklin Delano Roosevelt! And, . . . Two: back of the portrait a list of Democratic Presidents in a seml-ctrcle sunset arrangement, In letters large enough for all below to read: Jefferson, Adams, Monroe, Madison, Jackson, Van Buren, Tyler, Polk, Pierce, Buchanan, Johnson, Cleveland, Wilson, Roosevelt." (We wager old John Adams turned over In his grave when he heard of that!) We know one or two Republicans In Medford who would sug gest the above for the "New Yorker" In that popular department captioned "ANTl Cllmax". And, believe It or not, we were snapped at again by a camera gal, but saw her coming this time so were prepared for the shock. Our scat was on the rail and we noticed the gal with the flash bulb camera making her way in our direction and finally climbing on a chair and pointing the contraption directly at us, as she waved her hand as If in greeting. We stood our ground, and thought: 'This is it, fame at last!" Then out of the side of our eye we nolired the crowd down there looking up but not DIRECTLY at us but slightly to one side, and turning our head there who do you think girls and boys, There was Grade Allan at our elbow, red hair, pepsodent smile, blue eyes, white linen and diamonds. flash went the bulb, bingo, bango! Grade waved at the crowd and was o((l What has she got that,!, etc., etc., etc. Wa mentioned the line of cleavage in the G O P. when last here, but great Pete, it can't compare with the same cleavage in the Democratic, the idealistic liberals like Roosevelt and Wallace on one side for example and the boss reactionaries like Kelly of Chicago and Hague of Jersey City on the other, both real powers In the Democratic party and Its councils. Certainly the comic muses above must have held their sides today when Congressman Wm. Dawson, of Illinois, as black as the ace of spades and with a voice that literally shook the rafters, extolled the virtues of Franklin Delano Roosevelt (like all of today's speakers he mentioned the full name as an applause-line at least half a dozen times) as the great leader of the forces of purity and righteousness in this wicked world, while Boss Kelly looked on benignly from the platform as "mine host" of the morn ing session; and Boss Hague's pale, poker face above a high stiff collar and perfectly tailored tropical worsted, caused a slight divertissement as he took his place In the New Jersey delegation and shook hands all around. (Wo wondered whore was Cotton Ed Smith who walked out on the convention eight years ago when a pastor of the African Methodist persuasion gave the benediction. A search of the Carolina group, however, revealed no Insurrection.) But what a tableaux REALLY! Roosevelt and Wallace on one side; Hague and Kelly on the other;' and a colored table-thumper in between, giving his white brethren from the solid south sitting directly in front of him. good sound doctrine, on racial equality, human brotherhood and Christian righteousness! If FDR doesn't get the Chicago negro vote, It won't be because Boss Kelly didn't do his stuff for it. V We went Into the saloon although it isn't called that, It is called "Mayor Kelly's Democratic Headquarters," and the entrance is guarded by four of Kelly's best policemen who examine credentials carefully. And with good reason. For once inside, everything is on the house, beer, cocktails, and free lunch, the latter includ ing the best turkey and ham sandwiches the undersigned has ever seen. And how they would delight the heart and gastric juices of Smudge Pot who is always ridiculing the razor-blade thinness of the New Deal meat and sandwiches, for actually there was a solid two inches of meat in each sandwich. And one man did it all, and never touched a finger to anything, did It all with a knife and a twist of the wrist. How does he do it? Mayor Kelly, we mean not the sandwich man? The answer to that Is also the answer to why he is Mayor of Chicago, and why at every election Chicago goes ten to one for that great moral Crusader and Apostle of the Higher Life, Franklin Delano Roosevelt! R.W.R. (To be continued) OF L WHO AIDED NAZI ESCAPE, NABBED PLANTS BE LAST Detroit. July 22 (U.R) U. S. Attorney General Francis BIddle conferred with the district at torney and federal bureau of in vestigation agents today regard ing the nature of charges to be brought two Michigan girls who aided in the lescape of two Nazi prisoners of war. Biddle entered the case un expectedly. He conferred with District Attorney Joch C. Lehr. and Robert A. Guerln, in charge of the FBI here. BIddle said he was en route from Chicago where he had attended the Demo cratic National Convention. Meanwhile. Shirley Durfe. 18. Owosso, and Kitty Case, 20, Ben nington, sat in the Owosso Jail. pondering the gravity of their plight.

Both testified the girls, whom they met working' In the canning factory, induced them to leave. Everett, Wash., July 22 (U.R) Sen. Mon C. Wallgren, D., Wash., advised by Manjower Director Paul V. McNutt, that inter-reg ional recruitment for the west coast aluminum industry was being terminated, said tonight that If there is a cutback in aluminum production it should start with plants where costs are higher than In the Pacific northwest. McNutt told Wallgren that the present supply and current rate of production of aluminum was adequate for military and lend lease requirements and would permit the use of aluminum for Civilian goods in the near future. McNutt said that manpower "desperately needed" for highly urgent production which is be hind schedule such as the foun dries and force shops, should not be diverted by inter-regional j recruitment 10 pruuuciioii New Jap War Cabinet Meets Appeal for Confidence Is Made. By United Press Japan's new war cabinet met for the first time under Premier Gen. Kuniakl Koiso today and pledged itself to a finish fight against the Allied land, sea ana air forces crowding in on the em pire from all sides. Simultaneously, enemy broad casts Vevealed that ex-Premier Gen. Hidekl Tojo, the discredit ed war lord who launched the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor almost 33 months ago, has been relegated to political obscurity placed on the Emperor's offi cial "retired list." All but one member of the Tojo cabinet was dismissed from office in the shake-up initiated five days ago following the American conquest of Saipan and just before the invasion of Guam, two of Japan's inner de fense bastions only 1,500 miles from Tokyo. Mamoru Shlgemitsu, foreign minister In the Tojo cabinet, re tained that post in the new gov ernment and assumed the addi tional portfolio of greater East Asia minister. His retention was hailed by Radio Tokyo as an In dication that Japan's foreign policies "will not be influenced in the slightest degree" by the cabinet change. Koiso and the array of "con servative" military, naval and business leaders drawn into the new cabinet held their first VISIT SURPRISE Navy Chief Flies Close To Enemy Island On Pacific Sector.

The text of the fund, released today, takes up 54 typewritten pages and comprises about 12, 000 words.

Each nation's central bank shall be the depository for all the fund's holdings of Its currency. T CITATION GIVEN IE! SEN. NYE VICTOR Y Pearl Harbor, July 22 flJ.R) The rugged little spic and span destroyer Buchanan was award ed the presidential unit citation today by Adm. Ernest J. King, in the first announcement of the presence of the commander-in-chief of the U. S. navy in the Pacific. From the looks of the Bu chanan's "scoresheet" the dough ty little tin can was probably on the Japs' "hope to hit" pa rade. This was what she did in lit tle more than 20 months: Sank one Jap cruiser and destroyer and probably sank a submarine and damaged another, shot down five Jap planes, participated in four assault landings and took part In numerous bombardments of enemv shore Installations. In addition, the Buchanan shares credit with another de stroyer and cruiser for two en emy merchantmen sunk and an other Jap bomber shot down. The Buchanan destroyed at least 23 enemy barges and five times crossed the fire of Jap shore batteries, each time knock ing out some enemy guns. time. Following the meeting, the new premier broadcast an urg ent appeal to the Japanese peo ple for "full confidence" in his government and promised a more vigorous prosecution of the war against the United States and Britain. "The ups and downs of the war are only inevitable ordeals which the Japanese nation must conquer In this sacred war for the welfare of the world," Koiso said in a veiled reference to the growing list of Japanese defeats in the Pacific and southeast Asia.

King, u. &. navy commander-in-chief, stood beside a Liberator bomber on Isely field less than three miles from JaDanese-held Tinian island today and lauded the capture of Saipan as giving us "an interior line position from which we can have our choice of objectives- inside the heart of the Japanese empire. The tall, spare commander- in-chief of the U. S. fleet held a brief press conference after a 24-hour visit in which he toured the entire island with the exception of Mount Tapot- chau. where 21 Japanese snip ers were killed a few hours be fore his arrival. "It's a fine island I'm glad we've got it and proud we've taken it," King said. "It means a great deal to our future plans for operations in the Pacific and the Japs don't like our having it. King, dressed in field green trousers and a khaki shirt open at the throat, with four stars gleaming from the collar, was surrounded by the greatest gal axy of high-ranking officers ever brouht within artillery range of enemy lines. Adm. Chester Nimitz. Vice Adm. Raymond A. Spruance, Rear Adm. Richmond K. Turner, Rear Adm. John H Hoover and Marine Lt. Gen. Holland M. Smith were included in the par ty at Isely field an aggregate of 19 stars, not counting the as sortment of rear admirals and other generals present. "This is the first sizable land mass we've had to take," King said, "and I consider the three week period of conquest a quick and efficient job. It Is obvious that other important Islands in the Marianas will be taken."

"It is shocking," Goodman said, "to consider that an Ameri can citizen must be confined on grounds of disloyalty and then, while so under duress and re straint, be compelled to serve in the armed forces or prosecuted for not yielding to such compulsion." Goodman added it was clear to him "the defendants are under the circumstances not free agents since they are not accorded tha due process of law."
