YANKEES REPULSE
U. S. 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.

"30"For Camp White Grenade
In line with reduction of personnel and curtailment
of operations at Camp White, the post's weekly news
paper, the Camp White Grenade, bowed out of the
picture Saturday with its eightieth edition. 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

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.

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!

In giving dried brewer's yeast

past, this auth

the amounts

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

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

Is Conservative Investing Justified?
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

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

NOTICE
TO LUMBER USERS
Effective August 1, 1944, we are required to conform with
War Production Board Order L-33S, which require that we
have a rating and a certification on all sale of lumber. 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.

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.
