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

"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

"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.
