Pacific Headquarters, Pearl Harbor, Aug. 5 aUR) American marines and army troops hacked out gains of up to three miles on Guam island and repulsed a minor counter attack by Japanese forces cor nered in the northern one-third of the island, Adm. Chester W. Nimltz announced today, while the toll of enemy dead rose to 8,129. As of Friday, approximately 22,000 Guam civilians "found refuge within our lines," Nimltz' communique announced. The number of civilians compared with 1940 census total of 23,067 on Guam, of which 21,402 were natives. Today's announcement ap parently meant that almost all natives on the island are now safe. Some Japanese civilians taken to Guam during the two and a half years of enemy oc cupation were believed to be among those persons now with the U. S. forces. The remaining enemy soldiers on Guam were being steadily compressed into the northern end of the island in operations resembling the closing phases of the Salpan and Tinian drives, in which the enemy was driven into a tight pocket where the remnants of his defense forces Were annihilated or captured. The Japanese are now re duced to an area of about one quarter of the Island, after troops of the 77th infantry di vision advanced approximately three miles northward along the east coast to Lumuna Point Friday, while marines on the west coast pushed a mile and a half ahead to Amantcs Point.

DEATH REPORTED Frank C. Doremus, pioneer fruitgrower of the Kogue Hlver vailed, died Saturday In New York City, according to word received by friends here. About 1910, having been forced to give up his career as a mining engineer because of failing health, Doremus purch ased a 90-acrc ranch in tho 401 area northeast of Medford. He and Mrs. Doremus left here about seven years ago, their ranch, known as the "Big Boulder Orchard," now being owned by the Holmes brothers Mr. and Mrs. Doremus spent some time in Santa Barbara.

The Grenade will be missed on the Mail Tribune's ex Change desk and the army boys and girls of the Grenade staff will be missed by the Mail Tribuners who found them uniformly courteous and helpful. rURING the life of the service paper approximate ' ly 100,000 troops have been stationed at the camp and over 9,000 civilians employed in various capaci ties. Chronicling the news of this huge segment of the county's population, hedged about as it was by military restrictions and censor rules, would have been impossible for this paper without the aid of the post weekly and the public relations office which supervised its publication. THHE Grenade and the public relations office have given the people of the Medford area a close and sympathetic link with the army men and women sta tioned here and we extend our hearty thanks and appreciation to both for fostering and extending the fine spirit of friendship prevailing between camp and community. E.C.F. Who Killed Cock-Robin? One mysterious feature of the Democratic conven tion in Chicago has never been solved, or if it has been it has escaped the attention of the skipper of this department, namely: Who ordered the C.I.O. demonstrators in the gal lery to quit their drive for Wallace and why? Someone from Democratic G.H.Q. issued a desist ing order, that is reasonably certain. For the sudden collapse of the Wallace effort, was no spontaneous action of the rank and file; demonstrations of that sort gradually die out, they don't halt in mid-flight and just quit. QNE moment Dick Frankensteen of C.I.O., chair- man of the Michigan delegation, was demanding the nomination of Henry Wallace and no compromise amid tremendous enthusiasm, not only from the gal leries but from the delegates. The next moment, at least only an hour or so later, the mention of the Democratic vice-president's name, went by practi cally unnoticed. The galleries had not been cleared, the C.I.O. "claquers" were still up there. But they were silent, stone silent. Senator Truman's nomination went over without a protest. IT isn't a matter of any great importance now. But it would be interesting to the political student of the future. And Sidney Hillman, head of the C.I.O. political action committee knows the answer. But we doubt if, for the duration of the campaign at least, he ever gives it. The Bosses Didn V In Republican circles no doubt a popular answer to the question above would be the Democratic bosses gave the signal that Tinman was in and Wallace out, so there was nothing for the C.I.O. to do but quit. . Nothing could be further from the truth. The bosses, Messrs. Kelley, Flynn and Haig, worked night and day to beat Wallace, but no signal from them did the trick. Kelley barged in after it was all over and insisted upon having his picture taken holdintr the flustered Senator Truman's hand delegates, but tnat was for ,i i i. uuivii in uiiijny-uiiipn precinct. No one in the convention was fooled by it. Truman went over when Kelley was across the street trvinc to iron out the Illinois delegation, he did not even catch the caboose. HE boss triumvirate did and these votes would lace. But they were not enoueh to defeat him. Some one else did that. Who it was we don't know, but it must have been someone very .high up. And in all probability the person who really put Tinman over, also ordered the C.I.O. demonstrators to quit. WE don't mean that had Wnll "infill; M Ulim iltlVG mean, that had this order gallery would never have Quo Vadis? Speaking of Sidney Hillman and his prominence in the Democratic nartv. relief what promises to be the approaching campaign, Do the American people to turn more and more radically to the left, or main tain approximately the present course, with perhaps a gradual veering to the right I TTHERE is no doubt whatever that four more years of Roosevelt will mean that, a continuance of a radical, leftish more and more socialistic course. There is also no doubt that the defeat of Roosevelt will mean the exact reverse, a whole-hearted effort to turn the ship-of-state gradually to the right, to return to what have been generally known as the fundamentals of a free Democratic government. e e m TTHE Democratic party as now constituted, thor oughly believes, that what is so frequently termed aloft before the cheering j the benefit of the boys I i l control a great many votes never have cone for Wal this order not been given UVVII W1C UUIIllJiee. M t? UU not been riven, the C.I.O. stopped cold as it did. Sidnev brines into sharp one of the chief issues in j namely: want their government the "free enterprise system", the accepted economic system of this country for over 150 years, is today an anachronism, as out-of-date in modern economics, as the stage coach in modern transportation. And the Democratic party may be right. But the Republican party, also as now constitut ed, does not think so. It doesn't believe this country has to "go communist" to survive. It believes the old system of free unregimented competition, under pro per federal control and guidance, rather than hard and fast federal dictation; can not only survive but give to the rank and file of the American people a happier, more secure and more abundant life. And the Republican party may be right. LJOWEVER that may be, here is what undoubtedly will be one of the outstanding issues of the ap proaching campaign : And it is not too early for the American people to consider the matter seriously. Figure out what they really want, what course they would prefer to have their country pursue, not only for the duration but immediately thereafter, go more and more to the left, or less in that direction and more to the right, or perhaps preferable to both, straight ahead! Your Health and Its Care BY DR. WILLIAM BRADY. M. D. Readers should address Inquiries toi Dr. William Brady 265 El Camine. Beverly HUls. Calif. PELL In giving dried brewer's yeast to patients with pellagra, McLes ter emphasizes, the yeast must be given in what may be regarded as en ormous doses, not Just a few spoons full a day. In the past, this auth o i i t y asserts, the amounts prescribed were too small. "We have found it of ad- Dt Brade VPntage in the case of severely 111 pellagrins to give 180 to 270 Gm. of powder ed brewer's yeast daily. This is best tolerated when given in iced milk of eggnog in doses of about 20 Gm. each. The yeast will usually relieve the neurit is, but thiamin also may be glv-; en in doses of 5 to 7 mg. three times daily." That means the patient with fulifledged pellag ra must take six to nine ounces (about one-half pound) of dried brewer's yeast daily, or, say, a heaping tablespoonful stirred in cold milk or tomato Juice or what have you every hour or two. Do not confuse this dried brewer's yeast powder with baker's yeast. In the first place, yeast suitable for baking use is comparatively poor in vitamins and has the additional draw- back of causing considerable j fermentation in the digestive tract. Dried brewer's yeast, on the other hand, is much superi or in its content of vitamin Bl (thiamin), vitamin B2, (G, ribo flavin) and niacin (nicotinic acid), and it does not produce fermentation in the digestive tract. Although, much of this refers particularly to pellagra it ap plies to the manifestations of premature senility or too early aging in a good many instances. Of course dried brewer's yeast (not baker's yeast) is not ordinarily regarded as a food staple. Nevertheless a mixture "DEAR ALBEN" IN E VOTE LEAD Frankfort, Ky., Aug. 5 0J.R1 Senate Majority Leader Alben W.

Returns from 1032 of the slate's 4278 precincts gave for Barkloy 26.320 votes compared with 1321 for Judge Boone Ham ilton, his closest opponent. Allied Headquarters. South west Pacific.

This if used regularly as spread for bread would go a long way toward correcting the nutritional deficiencies of the average refined diet. There is no sound scientific evidence that sugar, candy and sweets cause caries, cavity for mation, decay of the teeth. I am satisfied in my own mind it is the lack of something in the diet particularly enough cal cium, phosphorus and vitamin D, and possibly some other ele ments such as fluorine or fluor ide that accounts for poor teeth and decay of the teeth, not the mere presence of sugars or starches in food or in the mouth.

Babson Declares Investors Need More Vision Chicago, Illinois, August 4. (Special Correspondence.) My father was a real conservative. He voted the straight Republi can ticket, stuck close to home, ran his farm, served on the board of his local bank, went to church regularly and hung on to his money. Upon his death there was found ' in his estate a particularly choice selection of stocks and bonds. During his lifetime he successfully preserv ed his principal and maintained a generous income. Conserva tism in investing was warranted during his time. Now, however, the picture has changed. It will progressively take far different investment qualifications to even maintain, let alone m- crease, capital and income. Investors Being Squeezed By Taxes Most current large fortunes were accumulated before the years of Inheritance and income taxes and, of course, before the decade or more of government regulatory practices. Particular ly in recent times, investors have had to contend with rising taxes, rising living costs and lower interest rates. Many in vestors have developed a defeat ist attitude with respect to their position. There are certainly as many investment opportunities, but investors may have to throw overboard many of their former theories to take advantage of them. Ten years ago an investor with funds conservatively divid ed between governments, cor porate bonds, preferred stocks and common stocks could count on a return of 4.75. From this a married man with no depend ents would pay about .82 in taxes leaving a net return of 3.93. Today these same secur ities while showing an increase in value of 1.66 would yield 4.43 and taxes would amount to 2.28 leaving a net yield of only 2.15. It is obvious that investors must forget certain orthodox methods of investing but still cling to broad diversifi cation. Market Trends Not Major Consideration Conservative investors have long been accustomed to making a choice of "blue chip" secur ities and then sitting tight. For the successful management of ENEMY PATENTS HELP NORTHWEST PRODUCE GOODS Portland, Ore., Aug. 5 U.R) Patents seized from Axis en emies are being put to work in the Pacific northwest for the production of products ranging from synthetic wool from fish wastes to air conditioning equip ment, Paul J. Raver, Bonneville power administrator, disclosed here today. These enemy patents were seized by the United States from Germany, Japan and Italy. Roy Shawcross, representing the alien property custodian, with cooperation of the Bonne ville district office, has been ex hibiting the patents to business men throughout the region. Eleven firms and individuals in Oregon, Washington and Montana are preparing to util ize some of the 45.000 enemy alien patents now available to Pacific Northwest Industry, Raver said. The new products that will be developed in the region through use of enemy patents include enterprises at: Spokane Inpection plastic molding machine; experimental work on house heating by elec tric heat accumulation. Seattle Air conditioning equipment. Hoquiam, Wash., and Charles ton, Ore.

These ratings must be obtained through specific or authorized ratings by the War Production Board, National Housing Agency, or the War Food Administration. We will be glad to assist our cus tomers in any way possible to obtain these ratings. This order does not apply to any other building materials only to lumber. BIG PINES LUMBER CO. i their portfolio they have de pended upon correctly forecast ing general market trends. The trend of market averages still plays a part in determining security values. The most im portant consideration in port folio management should be the minute and continued study of relative values among individ ual securities and groups. For example, as a group, most bonds and many preferred stocks are too high today, but there is no indication of imme diate rising money rates to Indi cate any change in the near future. Common stocks in rela tion to earnings are about "average" in price and the re turn from fixed income securi ties Is still attractive. Thus, it is okay to keep normally diversi fied' between bonds, preferred and common stocks. Yet, we all know that in Individual In stances certain of these securi ties will rise substantially and others will decline regardless of market trends. Special Situations Should Be Sought From a tax standpoint, many investors would be better off by avoiding income securities in favor of capital appreciation bonds and stocks. A portion of every portfolio should be set aside for investment in "special situations. Perhaps the most: outstanding of these have been : in reorganization railroad bonds. However, every other industry, such as merchandizing, financ ing, chemicals, paper, bus trans portation, oil, electrical and so on, has shown in specific in stances large capital gains. The investor should be con tinually on the watch for out standing attractive situations which will be better than aver age market performers. Certain preferreds with large dividend arrears are well set for gains. In every group, little-known companies as contrasted with "popular" companies may turn out the best. Companies with no outstanding debt, whose capi talization consists solely of a relatively small number of com mon shares, are particularly good. Investors should pay less attention to security ratings and more attention to Indenture terms in the case of bonds and to issue provisions with respect to the rights of common and pre ferred stockholders. interior of the cans.
