NAVY FOOTBALL
TEAM STAGGERED

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."

GOVERNOR DEWEY
FENCE STRADDLER
II
GOP Nominee's Record on
Foreign Affairs Assailed
by Democratic Candidate.
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.
