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mans have withdrawn some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. LEAVES ON TOUR

Ray W. 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.
