PACE TWELVE HERALD, AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON GOP JOINS IN CALLING TALK POLITICAL WASHINGTON. Aug. 26 (P) Republican leaders joined Social 1st Norman Thomas today in con tending that the White House was responsible for the war do partment's turn-about ruling that President Roosevelt s Au gust 12 speech at Bremerton was not "political. Herbert Brownell. Jr., 'repub lican national chairman, was one of these. In New York he served notice that he was renewing his request that Governor Thomas E. Dewey, the party-presidential ' candidate, be given equal radio time, saying that "I am pointing out that army otticiais cieariy recognized the Bremerton broad cast as a campaign speech made by a political candidate ana it was only after some mysterious interference from someone above that the decision was reversed." The ruling against tne demand of Thomas, socialist party presi dential candidate, for equal op portunity to address troops over seas by radio, was announced last night by John J. McCloy, acting secretary of war. Only eight hours earlier, the depart ment had announced it was granting the request" of " the socialist party. - - At the White House, there was no immediate comment. AsKed whether he . could throw any light on the war department or der and its rescinding. 10m Blake, assistant press -secretary. replied that he knew nothing about it. Senator Wherry of Nebraska, the republican whip, said the speech was "political" and that the army's reversal ""was -due without doubt, to White House pressure." Wherry told report ers: - "The president of the United States has brought pressure on the war department to make it do an about tace on ine mauer." In Denver, Thomas said "it "proves the commander-in-chief, who also is a candidate for re election, ruled that his own speech was not political." Senator Rivercomb (R-W. Va.) said "the president's speeches are political," and Senator Aiken (R-vt.) asserted that "the presi dent can't make a speech that doesn't have political implica tions." ."

Ore., Aug. 28 (P) Discovery of a new anti stiffness element which may prove helpful against arthritis was reported today by two Ore gon State college scientists. The food factor possibly a new vitamin was first found in raw cream and vegetable greens, and has now been isolated in much larger quantities from an other food. Dr. Rosalind Wulzen, discover er of the clement, and Dr. W. J. Vanwagtendonk, who is study ing the chemical composition of the new food factor, withheld further . details pending re search on extraction methods. Guinea pigs, fed for months on a diet containing everything except the anti-stiffness element, developed stiff joints and exces sive calcium deposits. Shifted to a diet rich in the new food factor, the stiffness gradually disappeared. Dr. Wulzen and Dr. Wagton donk said -studies are underway elsewhere to determine the ef fect of the anti-stiffness clement on humans. The work is par tially financed by the Research Corporation of New York. The sun is nearest the earth in the month of January. . . ''PARDON ME, BUT YOUR MONEY WOULD BE FAR SAFER IN A SAVINGS ACCOUNT!": ; ; and earn a worthwhile return at NAZIS CAPTURE AGE ON EXTRA FLYING TRIP A U. S. FIGHTER BASE IN ENGLAND. Aug. 2JI (H) Lt. Col. Francis Gabreskl, 25, Amer ican nee from Oil City, Pa., was captured by the Germans In tak ing "one moi'o crack" nt a nnzl airfield during a strafing mis sion ho did not have to make, fellow airmen nt his base dis closed today. Gabreskl, Thunderbolt squad ron commander who destroyed 28 German planes In the lr and three aground, was ready to re turn to the United States on a 30-day leave und bo married, but volunteered for another mis sion on July 20. Ho led a squadron of 16 planes to a German airfield near Koblenz whero they destroyed nine Hcinkcls on the ground. Gabreskl got one of them his 31st kill. The colonol's flight was ready to lcavo when ho decided to make another run on the air field. Swooping over very low to avoid antiaircraft fire, he struck a clump of trees at the end of the field. Then tho pro peller of his P-47 hit the ground, probably damaging it. Two miles farther on Gabreskl had to belly-land in a small clear ing. ... His flight companion saw him run from the piano apparently uninjured, und then turn buck, obviously aiming at destroying his ship. But Thunderbolts in the air already were lined up on it and blew it up with their au-cauuer machine gun bullets, Lt. Joel I. Popplewcll of Lib erty, Ky., said some of the fliers wanted to land and pick up the colonel, but there was no nearby field big enough to accommodate a Thunderbolt. "If we had hud a decent chance to make a landlnK and take-off that's all wo would have asked." said Pood ewel . ine last we saw of the col onel he was running toward some woods. "The last thing he said to us over tne radio was that he had 'had if." In hope that Gabreskl might be able to make hi wav nut of ucrmany, roppieweu and a companion kept the storv of the mission secret until word reach ed the base today that he was a prisoner of war.
