TWO MEDFOBD MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday. Oct. 17. 1944 SPORTS NAVY FOOTBALL TEAM STAGGERED BY By Jack Cuddy United Press Correspondent New York, Oct. 17 (U.R) Like the feller who was bopped on the nogyin by a gold nugget, Navy's football team was stag gered temporarily by the sud den acquisition of four stellar players in September. That was the major reason for the Middies' mysteriously unimpressive showing in their first three games this season, ac cording to Lieut. Cmdr. Rip Mil ler, the sailors' big, genial line coach. Rip, originally one of the sev en mules of Notre Dame, tola New York writers, "when the N.C.A.A. withdrew its ban on four-year players, a quartet of our stars became available Im mediately men upon whom we hadn't counted at all. They were Hal Bamberg, Ben Martin, Jack Martin and Don Whitmire. "We were delighted to get them back, because they are fine players. But they provided a unique problem. We had al ready organized the team with players who had worked to gether since spring. It now be came necessary to fit in the Big Four without disturbing the work we had already accom plished. Unfortunately this proved an Impassibility, and we suffered ragged play as a re sult. But we're getting our feet on the ground now, and we'll be tough from here on. That hard game with Duke was Just what we needed to straighten out the kinks." DETROIT TIGERS LEAD ALL CLUBS E .

With Sen. Truman en route to San Francisco, Oct. 17 (U.R) Sen. Harry S. Truman moved toward San Francisco today aft er terming Gov. Thomas E. Dew ey a "fence-straddler" on foreign policy and asserting that his election in 1940 would have in creased the number of lives spent in the war. .. After making his first major address of a cress-country cam paign tour at Los Angeles, Tru rnan was scheduled to arrive this morning at San Francisco, where he will speak extemporaneously before a Commonwealth club luncheon. He leaves tonight for Portland, Ore. Truman, Democratic candidate for the vice presidency, told a party rally in the Shrine audi torium at Los Angeles that Pres ident Roosevelt should be sup ported because he had demon strated leadership in foreign af fairs when Dewey "was flirting with isolationists" whom he had not repudiated. Two Policies Been The nominee said the 'ate Kenneth Simpson, Republican national committeeman for New York, had repudiated Dewey in 1940 on grounds that he had "one foreign policy for isolation ists In Wisconsin and another for interventionists in New York." ... "Let's have an end to shilly shallying," Truman said. "Does the Republican candidate still have one foreign policy for Wis consin and another for New York? " Can you afford to take a chance on a fence straddler with a record on foreign affairs like that of the Republican can didate when your future and that of your children is at stake?"

A Message to the People of Oregon THIS IS A SOLEMN HOUR IN OUR HISTORY It Is an hour so solemn, that no American, moved by love of country, can escape the challenge. The hopes and fears of a century and a half of our history will meet In this election. We are confronted with this grave crisis because in the election of 1920, we failed to heed the call of that inspired leader of peace, Woodrow Wilson, and permitted the League of Nations to be sacrificed on the altar of partisan politics. We then charted course that led America and all the other nations of the world, Into the present world war which strikes at the very foundation of our American form of government and civilization itself. ANOTHER MISTAKE ANOTHER WAR If now again at this election we make a fatal mistake, the sure hand of fate will plunge the children of our present fighting men and women Into the battle fields of World War III. THIS IS NO IDLE PROPHECY It is a stark and inescapable fact. The ballot we cast at this election will be our vote for the kind of America and the kind of a world we want our children and our children's children to inherit Our hand will write for each of us the record of how we stood In the most critical hour of our national destiny. We shall be called upon to discharge the highest trust of our citizenship. CAVE LIVES FOR LIBERTY All the years to come will judge us by how we voted. We shall be alone. Yet, we shall not be alone. With us in the voting booth will be the men who are fighting on land, on sea and In the air. They will be our witnesses. Watching us also will be those others the men who sleep beneath the waves, In the sands of North Africa, in the hills of Italy, on the beaches of Normandy, and in the fat islands of the Pacific. They have given their lives that we may enjoy freedom and keep the right to vote. They have entrusted their beloved free America to us. OUR CREATEST HOUR It is to our soldiers, living and dead not to a psrty that we must give an accounting of our trust. It Is for one who has fought beside them my only son (he Is out there somewhere in the far reaches of the Pacific as a combat bomber pilot) carrying on their fight and our fight. It Is for him and the countless sons of other parents, that I write this message. It was In 1935 that President Roosevelt said: raVn.?""'"'00 Am"ic"" A" renifervoDj with destiny. " Our rendetvoui Is NOW this year 1944 is our year ol destiny. It is our greatest hour. This year of 1944 Is the year we In America have the opportunity to forever ban the cruelties and ravages of war and inaugurate a new epoch of world peace. fLEDCED TO PRESIDENT BDPctnr?l?l t?r n,,ion wha c,n le,d u ,0 ,he fulfillment of these hopes la FKLSIDENT ROOSEVELT, whose rare leadership and unsurpassed statesmanship, together with a combination of world events, have conspired to make him the man v. ucBtitijr in una year ol uesnny. Because of this grave crisis with which our nation Is confronted, I earnestly urge the citirens of our ere.it state tn inin ma In th r.i.iiAM ni c.ni.tiH n-i.-- as President of the United States. Became of this crisis I have become a eandidate for United States Senator on President Roosevelt's program, to win the war and to SECURE A LASTING WORLD PEACE. I stand pledged to give our President my unwavering support. Because I stand so plcdgjd, I ask the prople of Oregon to elect mi' United States iena.or so I may stand back solidly of our president, in the senate, in this crisis of world peace.
