Though their moth ers Insisted the democratic vice presidential candidate, on a tour of Louisiana, refused to kiss 300 defenseless babies. His alibi was he had a slight cold. He did not explain why a dem ocratic candidate was wasting time and wind campaigning in a rock-ribbed democratic state like Louisiana. The gracious and charming First Lady urges parents to keep their "teen age" daughters home. She follows her own ad vice every four years when a presidential campaign rages, A Los Angeles Civil War vet eran attributes his 104 years to black cigars and whiskey. As usual no credit is given to plen ty of air and regular breathing. MODERN MAIDENS (Klamath Falls Herald) "All Initiates are wearing long underwear . on back wards, black bloomers (grand ma fashion), a man's jacket on backwards, a glove on wrong side out and backwards, at least six pig-tails with a tin can tied to each one, a high top boot on the left foot, a wool sock help up by a man's garter on the other, and a hlgh-hecled shoe." Following the bombing of Formosa by American planes, the Nlpp admiral and governor general, who happened to be In Tokyo, proclaimed ha was "absolutely unnerved and calm over the news". This is one of the better tricks heretofore un known, save to politicians when the bad news starts coming In on election night. Gen. Elsenhower announces the Allied armies enter Ger many as conquerors, and there will be none of the hall-fellow well met stuff and dancing in the streets with the Fraus and Fraulelns of cities that sur rendered because they had to. The troops will not fraternize with the Krauts. Instead they will be told what to do, and do it now. Common courtesy and kindness has long been regarded by Teutons as a sign of weak ness. The Safety Council chiefs re ports the post-war autoists will be tempted to drive recklessly. There are already signs on all highways and byways. The post-war autolst is In training for Just that. The first six months of peace will see the wildest, nuttiest, most Idiotic and plain dumb driving since gasoline was invented. "Following the luncheon, she announced her engagement the 2th". (Exchange.) No ration ing of romance. "We have a secret weapon whereby we can avoid destruc tion. Get hold of a perfectly ordinary stick and a while hand kerchief." According to a Mos cow report, this is the advlco of a Niul officer to his men, It has worked In every war since the first one. MIGHTY HUNTER ITEM "This man was a crack shot, and had never been known to miss. His method was to tie a goat to the foot of a tree at dusk, climb the tree, and when the tigers came for the goat, fire at the flash of their eyes. In the morning they would be found dead, shot straight be tween the eyes. He followed his usual proced ure the firs'; night, but although he fired several shots, when the day dawned the goat was gone, but there were no dead tigers. This happened on two suc ceeding nights. Perturbed, he took a huge torch with him on the fourth night. Instead of fir lng at tha flashing eyes, switch ed on his torch and saw, to his amazement, six tigers advan cing In pairs, each with one eye closer. (Llnecaster.) Welcome to Governor Bricker As at the Chicago convention in June, it would appear the weather man is a New Dealer. At least after one of the most beautiful Falls in many years, it started to rain the moment Governor Bricker of Ohio entered the state, and it looks like rain for the Bricker train stop in Medford this evening. In which case, of course, many who planned to ex tend a welcome to the Kepublican vice-presidential nominee in person will be unable to do so. J? or listen iner to a few remarks under a roof is one thing, but listening at the rear of a train in the great outdoors, with the skies dripping HzO is quite another. uIOWEVEK, the Kepublican nominee can rest as- 1 sured that no New Deal weather man can really dampen the enthusiasm for the Republican ticket in Medford and Southern Oregon this year. Regardless of how many are able to greet the train this evening, regardless of what the rest of the state, or the rest of the country, may do on November 7th, this section of Oregon is certainly going for "Dewey and Bricker and against four more years of .Presi dent' Roosevelt and the New Deal. And unless all signs fail it is going for them in a BIG way! An "Honest Harding?" One of our eood Democratic friends we still have ONE! when apprised of our intention to greet the "Bricker Special" remarked he didn't think he would go to the station to welcome the G. O. P.'s "Honest Harding." That term applied to the Governor of Ohio by the late William Allen White, is supposed to have ended the former's chances of becoming the Presidential nominee. ' We don't know about that. But we do know this, an "Honest Harding" would have been a VERY dif ferent Harding a Harding without the "Ohio Gang," without Harry Daugherty or Tea Pot Dome. So the damning phrase was, rightly understood, perhaps not so devastating after all. . WE also know this: If William Allen White had attended the Chi cago convention and he would had he lived we feel certain he would have regretted that remark. For "Will" was a straight-shooter and a generous foe, if there ever was one. And John W-Bricker rose in stature at that Repub lican convention last June, almost as sensationally as Henry Wallace did, at the Democratic convention a few weeks later. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon FINDS FAMILIAR mm Paul Mallon VES, Governor Bricker came to the convention with an excellent record as a governor, an executive, an administrator with very strong backing for the presidential nomination. He left with all those qualities intact, but without what he sought, yet he stood far higher in the regard and respect and affection of all those -who attended that convention, than when he arrived. For John W. Bricker did play the game in a fine, manly, unselfish fashion. He might have adopted a dog-in-the-manger attitude and made pretty much a mess of that convention for the strength of his per sonal following was amazing. But when he saw he could not get the nomination himself he not only made the seconding speech for Governor Dewey and one of the best speeches of the conventiou but for the sake of party harmony and effectiveness and against his own personal in clinations, he accepted the secondary role of Vice President, and at once went to work whole-heartedly for the man who had beaten him. We have not agreed with all of Governor Bricker's views, and don't now, but we will say this he is a good loser, a good sport, a loyal and devoted Re publican. Ahead of Schedule? We are in receipt of the following communication signed "Greater Medford Club": To the editor: Would you please explain to a group of interested readers how General Eisenhower can now say the war Is ahead of schedule both In Europe and the South Pacific, when ten months ago ho said the war In Europe would be over this year? How can we be ahead of schedule and still west of the Hhlne If Germany is to bo defeated In a little over two months time? Well, in the first place General Eisenhower" did not say the war was ahead of schedule in Europe. The remark was made a few days ago by General Mar shal, chief-of-staff, and he said the war was ahead of schedule, not in Europe, but in France and the South Pacific. No doubt it is, for France has been cleared of the enemy, and a far more bitter and effective resistance by the Germans in that country was no doubt expected. AS to what the official war schedule was or is re- minii L,uiU't: c Villi iriu j;ucm nl lllnl, But not very long ago President Roosevelt said Ger many was not expected to fold up until the allied armies reached her borders, then Germany would probably never submit to the devastation and ruin to the "Fatherland" a fighting advance to Berlin would bring. Very likely this was the view of the Allied High Command at that time. And the schedule as far as the end of the war in Europe is concerned might well have been based on that. Probably the people of Germany would quit now if they could, but Hitler and the Gestapo, with nothing to lose and everything to gain by continued resistance, however hopeless, won't let them I Washington, Oct. 13 Continu ing a noncritlcal analysis of the Dumbarton Oaks program for postwar (see column pub lished October 12), nothing In the text desig nates Washing ton as the head quarters for the new league of nations after this war, but the program will start what eventually will be a very large world administration which must be convenient to the cen ters of all phases of world activity. There Is to be a military staff committee, mado up of the chiefs of staff of the United Nations, permanently advising the security council as to how to meet aggressors. In effect. this International military staff would conduct the future wars, or blockades or military ac tions against nonco-operative powers. It would be a perma nent International war department. Disarmament, diplomatic, eco nomic and other committees unquestionably would be re quired to maintain sufficient permanent offices to advise the security council about what ac tions should be recommended to the nations. IN these vital matters the se curity council is to be virtually supreme. On peace or war, the new league is to be controlled by the major United Nations in consultation with a few repre sentatives of the smaller pow ers on the council. But in other matters the second component part in the new peace setup is to have major authority. A general assembly of all the nations (each with a single equal vote and therefore beyond direct control of the big united na tions) will make recommenda tions concerning "economic, so cial and other humanitarian problems), although it also will have a hand in drawing recom mendations for disarmament and regulation of armaments. IN economic and social matters, " the assembly, howover, will be required to work largely through a committee of 18 (each member one vote). This com mittee also is to be a permanent, continuous body, whereas the assembly will meet but once a year to receive reports from all ine others, make appropriations and revise recommendations The EAS committee no doube will become an enlarged replica oi ine league of nations com. missions on labor, health, opium, child welfare, social conditions. In everything, all these vari. uus committees' at Bottom can only recommend action to other committees, not take any itself, can recommend action to the various nations, but has no mili tary or economic force of its own. 0 pill:, theory upon which the league of nations was built is to be tried again, but harder now, and under our leadership. Whether those will be more suc cessful no one can say. The or ganizations proposed will have no more value than the use that is made of them. These texts will be no more important than actions taken. They constitute only broad charters and contain nothing that is fundamentally new. ' Staff Sgt. Robert M. Boyl, au tomobile salesman in Medford before the war, wants to know how much it costs the local Chamber of Commerce to ad vertise in the south, and accom panied his request with a pic ture taken between Mobile, Ala., and Biloxi, Miss. The picture is of a tract of land and a build ing, the latter with a large sign which reads "Jackson County Fairgrounds". Sgt. Boyl sent the picture to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. R, H. Boyl of 1404 East Main street and suggested that it might be of Interest to the Jackson Coun ty Chamber of Commerce here and jokingly wrote, "ask them what it costs to advertise down here". Mrs. Boyl presented the picture to the Chamber staff this morning. Sgt. Boyl and his wife took the picture while en route from New Orleans, where he had been stationed with the air corps, to Dalhart, Tex., where he Is now on duty. The ser geant has been in the army since 1942 and worked for the Cooksey auto firm here before going into the service. His brother, Jack Boyl, is ouw smiiuucu to. . iviii ctiiioi , cam., at ine marine corps Dase there and recently wrote that he had been assigned to the per sonnel to the permanent staff of the post exchanges at the Dase. i I T PRACTICALLY OVER Ralph E. Koozer, manager of the Bagley Cannery at Ashland, reports harvesting of the toma to crop of the valley practically completed, with most of the cannery's output going into to mato juice. The crop was light and below average quality, Koozer further reports. Oper ations were hampered by lack of labor. Picking of Boscs, P. Barry. and Winter Nellis pears is now underway, and Deak of the Dear I harvest has been passed. Pack-1 ing houses expect the cleaning ' up process to take another two or three weeks. They are still handicapped by lack of experi enced packers. Rains of the past ten days have been beneficial to fall pas tures and cover crops but the precipitation so far, has not been sufficient to put the ground in shape for extensive fall plowing. Some stock has started home from summer ranges in the high hills, but it will take a heavy storm to start a general movement to the low er levels.
