Associated Prase Mambar Audit Bureau circulation Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY A GOLD nugget among the brass hats who A visit here with fair regularity nowadays was short, heavy-set, bright-eyed General Rob ert L. Denig, director oi puduc rei.wn " of tha United states wanna Corps, who paid the Marine Barracks a call early this . Because newspapers have sn important part in Marine Corps public relations, we had occasion to see General Denig a number of times on his visit here. The veteran marine of ficer's keen sense of humor, plain-spoken speech and warm Interest in the local post and the welfare of all marines, left 'us with most pleasant impressions. The local men who talked to General Denig called him a "real guy" and recognized in him ' tough-minded marine officer with a rugged ' career behind him. But after he had told one 'of his excellent stories before a group, we heard a local woman comment to another woman that the general was "adorable." When a fellow can rate like that, with men and women, he has achieved something. -3fWasal(Srssj EPLEY M arines and Klamath History BUT what really inspired us to write a piece today about General Denig was the fact that on his visit here, he opened up a chapter in Klamath history that is of great importance, and is a historical connection between Klamath and the Marine Corps .that has escaped notice in the recent "marine invasion" of the Klamath country. ."it was' at breakfast, shortly after General Denig arrived by train, that he broached the subject. ; Leaning over to Mayor John Houston, he commented:., ... "Klamath, you know, has a very interesting historical connection with the Marine Corps. Do you know what I am talking about?" i - The mayor and the rest of us did some quick , mental digging, but came up with a blank. And so the general proceeded to tell us that Lieutenant A. H. Gillespie was a marine. That clicked with all of us, for the story of General John C. Fremont is pretty well known . here.. Message For Fremont IT was Lieutenant Gillespie of the . Marine Corps who arrived on a foam-flecked horse at Fremont's camp on the west side of Upper Klamath lake with a message that caused Fre mont to throw off his character as an explorer, and to embark upon the conquest of California; That was on May 9,' 1846. ' The meeting of Gillespie and Fremont has been described as one of the dramatic events in the history of the Pacific coast, and one of the most significant incidents in the history of U. S. expansion to the Pacific. From that moment on, Fremont assumed a new role of conqueror, returning to California to play the leading part in making that great territory a part of the U. S. And so . it was a marine who brought that significant and mysterious message to Fremont at' a meeting on Denny (Rock) creek, on the west side of the upper lake near the Alexander ranch. A monument now marks the spot That story of an incident approximately 100 years ago deserves some re-telling. We will cover more of it tomorrow. One of the finest crops in the history of ; Klamath basin farming is in the making this 'summer. Expert observers who have looked ; over' the area in the past week report that conditions of potato, grain and hay at this time ' point to record yields, which can be prevented only by an unfavorable weather incident. Keep ; your fingers crossed. News Behind the News By PAUL MALLON A ASHINGTON, August 2 Governor Dewey V Y is going about his campaign in a novel way. His tactics seem to be to keep quiet and organize before he lets go. He has gone about it with greater pains than any candidate in my time. Apparently, he has spent every minute since his nomination at the task. Mr. Roosevelt's campaign has been indirect and, on the surface, wholly involved with war and peace develop ments. His role is commander-in-chief. When the demo cratic convention was follow ing directions, he was inspect- MALLON ing an aviation plant on the west coast. It is impossible to contend war events, which he is leading, have no campaign effect, because they may be a controlling factor in whether he wins or loses. For instance, next logical jump from our re cently achieved island strongholds in the Paci fic is the Philippines. In fact, this is the only place to go except Japan itself. a a a Favorable to FDR IF General MacArthur should happen to lead an invasion force back into Manila within the next three months, the reaction here would be favorable to Mr. Roosevelt's chances. Victory in Europe, unless it happened to be entirely a Russian breakthrough, also might have a profound campaign effect. On the international political side, the Bretton Woods conference has developed the contro versial financial bank measure, which Mr. Roosevelt apparently is going to keep out of the campaign by refraining from presenting it to congress until the January session after election. ' Mr. Hull is arranging a preliminary peace conference here of the big powers, and my guess always has been that this will prepare the way for the president to go to Europe for a big peace conference before November. May Constitute Campaign THESE developments alone may constitute his campaign, except that designated spokes men like Senator Wagner and others may make speeches carrying the purely political campaign promises, outlining what the president is doing, saying what he proposes to do if elected. Dewey's preparations, on the other hand, so far have been a methodical organization of his party as it has never been organized before while out of the White House. By every move, he has offered the contrast to one-man govern ment. The moment the convention was over, he started on the ground in Chicago with roundups of national committeemen and women in groups of five or six. He not only conferred with, but he listened to every state chairman as well. To them he said this campaign was a joint venture. Indeed, he gave Bricker more con sideration then and later than a vice presi dential candidate usually gets. Returning to Albany, he started receiving state delegations of congressmen (without their state chairmen). He has heard Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut separately so far. -.,.. e ' 1 Like Lodge Meetings THOSE who attended these meetings said they were like lodge meetings. Dewey did not make a speech, but simply devoted the meeting to understanding and organization. His friends .always have given him credit for exceptional skill in organization. On his trip west, he called in the Pennsyl vania state delegation at Pittsburgh, the Illinois delegation at Springfield, and is getting the 26 republican governors into his organizational ring with his planned two-day meeting at St. Louis. After that, the Missouri delegation was brought in. Obviously, Dewey's game is to concentrate through his organization upon those 26 states which will give him the election hands down, if he can get them. During all this time, the usual campaign comments that daily emanate from a candidate have been avoided. When he went west, he had not even appointed a publicity manager, the job being temporarily left to Harold Keller, deputy commissioner of commerce on leave from his state job, who also handled Dewey publicity at the convention. Thus, while neither candidate has spoken much for himself, their actions have bespoken the personal contrast which is to be the basis of the campaign that will develop. SIDE GLANCES Injured Soldier Captures Nazi Machine Gun Nest f . Br HAL BOYLE WITH AMERICAN TROOPS : ! IN NORMANDY, Aug. 2 (VP) i Death spat from the leafy shad J ows of one Corner of a leafy , neagerow, a lierman machine' ', gun was firin'B thrmieH the foli. ! age, stitching, the heart out of , company K and holding up its advance. The American comm a n d e r : sent staff sgt. Gaylon Clay, 23-'- year-old six footer from Musko : gee, OklaM with a squad of ten men to knock it out. They were flanking the gun, crawling slowly, toward it when an exclamation of surprise came from invisible German soldiers hidden behind the hedgerow. Then a storni of bullets clipped through the .tw.igs and sprayed the attacking squad from end to end. Every man in the squad was either killed -or- wounded before the Germans lifted their hail of fire. Sgt. Clay felt two stjngs in his legs and the warm rush of his own blood. But there was no way back and still ahead was the job that he alone of his men was left to do. He crawled on inch by inch until he saw a glint of sun on metal sticking through the hedgerow. At that instant a German hand grenade launched from the gunpit struck him full in the face, but failed to explode. Wildly, angry, the sergeant leaped forward, grabbed the flaming machinegun by his bare hands and ripped it from the grasp of the startled German crew and blew them to pieces with quickly tossed grenades. When he came back he was still half sobbing with rage. "I got the bastards," he said. He wanted to go back and kill more. The only way I could get Mini to go io me am station was by direct order." unid i,t. George R. Mitchell of Luzerne. Pa.

The crowd In the wheat pit definitely leaned to the selling side but hesitated to extend short lines because of govern ment price supporting measures. The new crop of spring wheat already Is moving marketward but brokers said hedging sales so far have been light. A Minneapolis line elevator company reported prospects were for smaller crop than indicated several weeks ago but that the yield still will be a large one.

CONCLAVE OF GOVE RNORS UNDER w By JACK BELL ST. LUJ1B, Aug. 2 (IP) Tho nation's 20 rcpublicun governors, headed by Presidential Nominee Thomas ti. Dovey, began confer ences hero today In what Gov. William H. Wills oi Vermont do scribed as an effort "toward bringing government back to the villaga pump." Called together by Dewey to seek solutions to the areas of "friction" between local and fed eral governments tho New York er has charged the new deal with fostering, the slate executives began a heavy schedulo of meet ings shortly after tho arrival of the party's standard bearer. Gov. John W. Bricker of Ohio, the vice presidential nominee, also was participating. Dewey, who had been greeted by sizeable crowds at Pittsburgh and Springfield, III., whero he stopped for parleys en route, was welcomed ai the union station here by an official group led by Gov. Forrest C. Donnclf of Mis souri, new senatorial nominee. H i s caravan wound slowly through thinly populated streets to s downtown hotel, where about 200 persons gathered in the ioDoy io appiauct mm. Ai the conferences opened. Governor Wills handed reporters a statement declaring that he be lieved, "the cause of liberal gov ernment can oo furthered by the election of Dewey and Bricker." Wills in the past has been a strong supporter of Wendell L. Willkie, the 1040 republican presidential candidate who con gratulated Dewey on his nomina tion but has remained silent in the campaign since then.
