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.

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.

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.

today, rye breaking more than a cent
from the day's best figures and wheat

The crowd In the wheat pit definitely
leaned to the selling side but hesitated
to extend short lines because of govern

The new crop of spring wheat already
Is moving marketward but brokers said
