Hr CE VERSATILE NEW VEHICLE Pictured above is the new vehicle, developed by the Tucker Sno-Cat corporation, and which was announced last week. Unusual features of the vehicle are the facts that it has eight wheels, four in front and four in back, and that the back wheels turn in the tracks of the front wheels. In tests it has proved to have exceptional ability on rough terrain, and high pulling power. The front axle is flexible for greater maneuverability when traveling cross country. It also has the advantage of being convertable into a Sno-Cat type winter vehicle by the addition ol pontoons. (snangle photo). Colonel Tells Of Yugoslav-Trieste Postwar Service The man who commanded the American troops in the Trieste Fiume area at the most critical period following the close of World War II, Col. R. W. Brocd low, described that tense situa tion and wartime experiences be fore the Medford Rotary club here Tuesday. The officer, who commanded the 361st infantry, 91st division, in the Italain cam Daign, spoke at the Jackson ho tel. He was stationed at Camp White with the 91st before the division left for Italy, and has now retired and established his home here. Much of Colonel Brocdlow's address was devoted to the ex plosive situation in the Balkans during the Yugoslav Trieste con troversy when a third world war was threatened. His American forces replaced the British units in the disputed area and faced vastly superior troops of Marshal Tito, augmented by Russian of ficers. Desite an ultimatum to withdraw strongly held positions in old World War I trenches. Colonel Broedlow's troops stood firm. Throughout the extremely Audie Murphy, America's most decorated GI and now a movie actor, as a character witness for Mrs. Michel. "Bless her heart, the child is so confused," Mrs. Michel, who was wearing dark glasses and a red hat. said. "I know we'll have her on our side." Mrs. Michel was charged with unjustifiable punishment of a child after the nine-year-old, $100-a-day actress complained her mother spanked her with a hairbrush because she "ate too much" and kept her on a cottage cheese diet. critical period, when a single "incident'' could have precipi tated big scale warfare the American GIs conducted them selves with courage and restrain, he reported. Approves Policy "In spite of my unpleasant contact with the Yugoslav I am in accord with the present policy of aiding Tito as long as it keeps him at outs with the Russians," Colonel Brocdlow told Rotar ians. "The Yugoslav area forms a bulwark that keeps the Rus sians from warm water Mediter ranean ports." he said. The speaker described the fer tile and wooded Trieste area, and recalled the pre-Wqrld War I Austrian empire. Actually, tie said, the people of this land were happier and made greater prog ress in the arts under the old regime, and the Austrians are kindly ingenious people whose future depends much upon de velopment of water power, ex pansion of industries and de velopment of tourist trade. The land is much like Oregon, the colonel said. Describes Problems Colonel Broerilow discussed and described the problems of Austrian occupation in conclud ing his address. The American headquarters in Vienna is con stantly contending with irksome situations with the c?ccupying forces of Russia but American leadership is excellent and the present status seems better than that in Berlin, he reported. Colonel Broedlow, who was introduced by Eugene Thornsike, has a record of 33 years of army service in all parts of the world. He is a personal friend of Robert Vogeler and was in close asso ciation with the International Telephone official during recent service in Austria. Vogeler has never been remotely connected with military intelligence, the colonel said. Young seals, called pups, can not swim until their mothers teach them.
