STAND ON NAZIS Stockholm, Aug. 30 flJ.R) The accession of Baron Marshal Carl Gustav Mannerheim's new government in Finland has fail ed to bring any measurable change in that country's rela tions with Germany, observers believed today. It was noted that the Ger mans have withdrawn some troops from southern Finland but observers believed this was simply because they needed them more urgently on the oth er side of the Finnish gulf to op pose the Russian drive on Nar va in Estonia. Observers conceded that the new Finnish government de sired peace, but not peace at the price considered just by Mos cow.

Carr, 17 of Disston, Ore., was confined in Commu nity hospital today with a lacer ated right arm he suffered when the car he was driving upset in the middle of the Pacific high way near the Bear Creek orch ards south of Mcdfnrd about 5 a.m. today. His attending physi cian said he would probably be discharged from the hospital Thursday. The youth told his doctor he went to sleep at the wheel. The car left the highway, hit a bank and upset in the road. A passen ger, Jarred B. Hass was unin jured. The accident was discovered by Sgt. L. F. Miller of 21 Tripp street, who brought Carr to Medford. Census Bureau statistics for the period April 1, 1940, to No jvember 1, 1943, indicate that births in this country exceeded deaths sufficiently to make up more than half of the losses in civilian population through in duction into the armed services.

Truman's acceptance tomorrow night of the demo cratic vice-presidential nomina tion, plagued by two worries the weather and the feeling that "Joplin Is trying to steal our show." Bunting and flags on the But ton county square wrinkled after a soaking rain and coun try roads leading into the birth place ot the candidate were j mired, but the weather man promised that the slowly mov ing storm area probably would be to the cast by tomorrow. Heavy rains spread south and east in Kansas, and thunder storms spotted the southwest Missouri area.
