FOUR SEATS IN

YETUNDEC1DE0
Democratic Party ; Appears
Assured of At Least 244
For 79th Congress
Washington, Nov. 15 U.R
Unseating of an additional ite
publican representative by a
Democrat in Missouri appeared
today to have assured the Demo
cratic party of having at least
244 members of the bouse when
the 79th congress convenes in
January.
Four house seats still were un
decided two in Missouri, one in
California and one in Pennsyl
vania. Also on the yet-to-be-decided
list was a senate seat
from Missouri, in a race which
probably will not be decided de
finitely until all soldier votes
are counted. A partial count of
service votes since last Friday
had whittled from 9,000 to 4,0H
votes the lead of Republican For
rest C. Donnell over Democrat
Roy McKittrick.

Four Missouri congressional
races had been listed as unde

ballots, but two apparently have
been decided. Those were in the
state's first district, where Re
publican incumbent Rep. S. W.
Arnold had defeated Democrat
Edward M. Jaynes, and the
eighth district, where Democrat
A. S. J. Carnahan had unseated
Republican Rep. William C. El
mer. The second and third dis
trict races still were on the
doubtful list.
On the basis of the two Mis
souri congressional races having
been decided, the house of rep
resentatives of the 79th congress
now lines up like this:
Democrals....244
Republicans 185
Progressive 1
American Labor 1
Undecided 4.
One To Decide
One other senate race in addi
tion to that in Missouri remains
to be decided the contest in
Pennsylvania between incum
bent Sen. James J. Davis, R.,
and Democrat Francis J. Myers.
With the count of that state's
estimated 210,000 soldier votes
starting November 22, Myers
holds a lead of about 23,000. A
Republican trend in the service
ballots could, of course, dissi
pate that lead. As it now stands,
the senate of the 79th congress
will line up as follows:
Democrats 58
Republicans 37
Progressive 1 i
Undecided 2.

ASHLAND SURPASSES
QUOTA IN WAR FUND
Ashland, Nov. 15 Frank E.
Thompson, Ashland chairman
national war fund campaign, re
ported today that a total of $4,
750.15 had been ratseri In thl
city, far over the $4,000 quota
assigned Asniana.
A vigorous attack upon "ca
lamity howlers who base con
versation on frenzv instead of
j fact," was voiced by Rilea W.
Doe, vice president of Safeway
Stores, Oakland, Cal., in an ad
dress Tuesday noon before the
Medford Rotary club. Speaking
at the Hotel Medford upon the
subject, "Objectives for Good
Citizens," Doe emphasized the
need today for enlightened and
intelligent cooperation with the
military and pointed out the
benefits that can result from
the crisis today in lessons of
frugality and sacrifice. Citizens
were urged to join the "all
American" team of 130 million
people to hasten victory and as
sure lasting peace.
With the sober reminder that
it costs $125,000 to kill one
man in today's great conflict,
the speaker emphasized the fact
that modern war is too expen
sive from purely economic
standpoint.
Must Pay Price '
Although the war cost this
nation $90 billion during the
past fiscal year, Doe reminded
that "we don't question the
doctor's bill when a loved one
is desperately ill." Americans
must willingly pay the price
for victory and the very life of
their country.
In lauding the magnificent
achievement of American pro
duction the speaker pointed out
that we now produce a fighting
plane every ten minutes and a
cargo ship is launched every six
hours. National morale is built
behind the doors of our own
homes and "doubt stories" im
pair our entire war effort and
tear down morale.
America produces 100,000,000
tons of steel a year to Japan's
8,000,000; 40 million barrels of
oil to every one for Japan. We
have 60 per cent of the world's
war industries, 65 per cent of
the naval units, 70 jer cent of
the world's merchant marine,
75 per cent of the transport and
commercial planes and 60 per
cent of the fighting planes in
the. entire world a tribute to
America's great productive ca
pacity. Selfish Scored
Doe scored selfish pressure
groups that put personal gains
ahead of victory and bickering
labor leaders who ,seek wage
advantages at the expense of
war production. The rank and
file of labor will not favor ,the
strike record during this war,
he said in reminding that citi
zens must be prepared to an
swer to their returning soldier
sons for their wartime effort
at home.
R. W. Flnlay, director of la
bor relations for Safeway Stores,
San Francisco, and T. M. Med
ford, district Safeway manager
of Klamath Falls, attended the
meeting. i .
G. H. Murray, field "off leer
for the Red Cross at Camp
White In a brief address at Tues
day's Rotary meeting urged pub-
lie cooperation in a movement
to bring Christmas to men at
the Camp White station hospi
tal. A plan is underway for
citizens of this community to
provide gifts for all men in
the camp hospital. The fullest
cooperation of the Medford Ro
tary club was assured in the
program.
Sadie Hawkins Day
Party To Be Held,
MarKade Tonight
Tonight GI Joes and Daisy
Maes will stage a Sadie Hawkins
Day party at the MarKade on
North Oakdale avenue. A little
doubt existed as to whether
Sadie Hawkins Day has passed
or not, but the director and host
esses decided that since Lll Ab
ner and Pappy of comic strip
fame aren't caught yet, the
theme wasn't out-dated.
The dance is scheduled for 8
p. m. and the director states that
costumes are optional.

Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 15 U.R)
Upton Close, - historian and
radio commentator, charged here
today that the National Broad
casting Co., pressure by various
sources, had served notice on his
radio sponsor, Sheaffer Pen Co.,
that it will no longer sell them
time on the air, if Close is not
dropped. -
Close said that "certain radi
cal and communistic elements"
were responsible for the assert
ed pressure on NBC.
He blamed the situation on his
broadcasts in the past few
months on the "Dangers of Com
munism." On November 5, he
said in a broadcast from Chi
cago, that a secret meeting "was
held in Mexico City on May 18.
af which plans were formulated
for a half-dozen Latin American
revolutions favorable to com
munism, several of which have
taken place since that meeting.
Close, here to address a busi
ness men's group, said the plan
had included "infiltration of the
communistic party into the Dem
ocratic party, which already had
been accomplished."

You are the shipper of this freight '
Next time you see a trainload of tanks, or guns or jeeps, re
member that this war material belongs to you. Your taxes
and War Bonds paid for it. You are the shipper. Japan is
the consignee.
To conquer Japan on her home Islands, enormous quanti
ties of war material must still be bought and paid for.
The purpose of the Sixth War Loan is to start raising the
money for the final Big Push against Japan. Every American
is asked to buy at least one extra $100 bond at the bargain
price of $75.
You buy the bonds. American industry will make the war
materials. We'll roll 'em to the ports of embarkation. Our
fighting men- in the Pacific will do the rest.
