TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Wednwday, Oct II, 1944 BRfCKER PLACES BLAMEUPON F.R. President Feared to Offend Japan Declares GOP Vice Presidential Candidate. By Charlei B. Degges United Press Correspondent Bremerton, Wash., Oct. 11 (U.R) Gov. John W. Bricker, of Ohio, speaking at this base where last August President Roosevelt asserted that "we were not permitted to fortify Guam," today laid the blame for American failure to fortify its Pacific outposts squarely on Mr. Rosevelt. Guam, Wake, Midway and Samoa were not fortified, the republican vice-presidential can didate said in a speech prepared for delivery at this great Pacific naval station, because the Rosevelt administration "feared that Japan might be offended." Realism Needed He demanded a "realistic American policy" which, he said, "includes a trained diplo matic service with full, accur ate information to give to con gress and the American people" to avoid a repetition of alleged unprcparedness before Pearl Harbor. Addressing shipyard workers and naval personnel free to hear him during working hours here, Bricker Jashed out against President Roosevelt's policies with more vigor than he has yet shown on this 9,250-mile cam paign trip to the west coast. Today's speech followed his most vigorous demand to date for American postwar interna tional cooperation, which he made last night at Wenatchee, Wash. He "prayed" there that the United States will "reach out around the world" to pre serve peace. Would Blame GOP Referring to Mr. Roosevelt's speech here on Aug. 12, Brick er said that time after the dem o c r a t lc administration "has sought to escape responsibility" for Pearl Harbor by blaming the republicans for Its own fail ures In Pacific preparedness. As late as his Bremerton visit "upon his return from a politi cal tour of the Pacific," the Ohio governor asserted, Presi dent Roosevelt said: "We were not permitted to fortify Guam, nor did we forti fy Wake or Midway or Samoa." "Whose fault was it?" Brick er demanded. "The administra tion has sought to blime con gress, more particuarly the re publicans In congress who voted against an authorization to ap propriate $9,000,000 to make certain engineering improve ments at Guam. Congress Not Askod "I call your attention to the fact that neither the navy, the administration nor the Presi dent had asked congress to for tify Guam. "It feared that Japan might be offended at such action. It was even that late, in complete illusion, appeasing uncivilized nations and potential enemies." Despite the lack of prepared ness in the Pacific, Bricker as serted, the United States was able to recoup Its power through the five-month defense which "a handful of sick and starving American troops" made at Corregidor.

E RUNS GAIT IN ANDREWSTRIAL Socialite's Defender Roars, Whispers, and Grimaces in Murder Trial Oration. By William Best United Staff Correspondent Monterey County Courthouse, Salinas, Cal., Oct. 11 (U.R) If this wasn't a murder trial, the audience could have relaxed and enjoyed the best show in Salinas Defense Attorney Leo Friedman defending Frances Andrews. There was a touch of the mel odramatic in him. As he faced the jury box, he alternately roared and whispered. With es calating eyebrows and pointing finger, he registered sorrow, anger, despair and impatience. He pounded the table, slapped the side of his head, grimaced and mimicked. Suicide Enacted While a tense crowd watched expectantly, Friedman, with histronic license, sneaked across a1 hardwood bean field and act ed like he was shooting Jay Lovett across a wide, dusty road. That was his best one. Later in the afternoon he played the part of a suicide, but only after flinching so the first bullet whistled past his head. From where he was standing, I noted it would have hit Su perior Judge H. G. Jorgensen. Jorgcnscn is a stern-visaged man, and he didn't flinch at all. This was Friedman's 54th birthday, and he spent it de livering oratory which probably hasn t been surpassed here since the .Spanish Dons told off the first migrating Americanos. Mrs. Andrews, whose life may be at stake, occasionally forced a smile at Friedman's sallies. Her husband, Frank, chuckled. Friedman's voice reached high pitch and sounded like the huckster who wakes me up ev ery morning shouting "tomatos potatoescarrotslcttuce" under my window. Umpire Role Sometimes Friedman was a Major league umpire, dramati cally pointing his finger at Dis trict Attorney Anthony Brazil as though Brazil had just slid unsuccessfully into second base and should now get up. dust off Chinese Troops RetaJce TengcrTufuj From ?aps i M'rf v V ' l)iL 3rVV ' Vj-tK-' mm.

He called Brazil a "nagging, pecking prosecutor" who would suavely put questions to wit nesses and then turn on them "snarling and sneering." Brazil didn't look like that kind of a D. A. He didn't look anything like Edward G. Rob inson. He had a frank, open face that resembles Vice Presi dent Henry A. Wallace's. You would expect farmers to trust him. Medical Training Offered WACS In Two New Schools Lt. Aida Ingraham, WAC re cruiting officer here, said today that she had just been notified of the opening on Novefciber 10 of two new medical and surgical technician schools. One at Fitz simons General hospital, Denver, Colo., and the other at William Beaumont General hospital, El Paso, Tex. Wacs, enlisted in the medical department for these specific who have completed their basic training in time for the Novem ber and subsequent classes, will be sent to one of these new schools. Women now in training at Wakeman General hospital, Camp Atterbury, Ind., will com plete their courses there. The new schools were made necessary due to the Increased enrollment in response to the war department's urgent plea for more Wacs to serve with the medical department in caring for returning veterans both in the United States and abroad. Lt. Ingraham will be glad to explain full particulars to any interested women at her office in the postoffice building. Two Japs Jailed For Camp Assault Newell, Calif., Oct. 11 (U.R) Two Japanese were sentenced to 90 days in jail being found guilty of assaulting a fellow inmate at the Tule Lake segregation center here, the War Relocation Author ity announced today. Hideo Tagawa, 20, formerly of Sacramento and Toshio Son- oda, 20, formerly of Seattle, each received 90 day jail sen tences. They admitted, accord ing to Project Director R. R.

We installed equipment like that used in the Olympia plant. We followed precisely the same methods of brewing. The same management directed the processes and used identically the same materials. In each city the best water supply available was used. Wc hoped that we might approach the quality of our Olympia Beer. To our great disappointment, wc found ourselves unable to produce in any of the Water 99 The waters of Burton-on-Trent, England, became famous in the 13th century and so valuable was this water that the monks leased the land from which flowed the water to brew beer that for centuries has beca famous for quality. new plants a beer of like character and comparable to that brewed at Tumwater, near Olympia. The public did not accept the new brands as the equal of Olympia Beer However, the sales of Olympia in the cities where the new breweries were oper ating showed no decrease. In the operation of these other brew erics, we were forced to recognize that without this one essential factor water from our famous subterranean wells we could not duplicate Olympia Beer. Therefore, in 1933, when we resumed the brewing of Olympia Beer, wc decided to confine our operations to the one plant at Olympia, with the knowledge that "It's the Water" that makes Olympia Beer so good then and now.
