WITH THE 40TH INFANTRY
DIVISION IN THE PHILIP
PINES "I drew a blank," said
Sgt. Joseph V. Sammls, son of
Mrs. Delia M. Sammls, route 1,
Klamath Falls, after helping to
stop a banzai attack and piling
Japs around tho perimeter.
This squad leader, with five
buddies of the 185th regiment of
the 40th Infantry division, ac
counted for 41 enemy attackers
in early April on the island of
Negro..
The first attack came in late
evening April 11, on a small
ridge facing enemy-held peaks
of the northern Negros range
where desperate Japs are cor
nered. The second came at 4:30
the following morning.
'We got 33 the first time and
eight tho second," said Sammls.
"My greatest thrill came from
a Jap officer," he continued. "I
emptied my tommygun in him
and then fired a macninegun un
til the barrel was smoking."
In daylight examination re
vealed four souvenirs on the
dead officer. They included a
sabre, binoculars, watch and pis
tol. Tho five Yanks drew for
these and Sammis drew the
blank.

la In 1915, this $4,850 touring car was a good automobile
one of the best money could buy. In 1915, Union Oil made a
good line of greases-8 different types "to meet every lubrica
tion netd.'.' Today, the lowest-priced cars are far better than
that 1915 tourinecar. And they sell for about H as much
Zo Todayv Union Oil "makes 78 different greases for indus
try instead of 8! And their quality is equally superior. This
doesn't mean the car manwfacturers and ourselves weren't
doing the best we knew how in 1915. But it does prove the
.value of competition, i
3o After all people were quite satisfied with 1915 autotnov
biles and greases-inl915. If no improvements had been intro
duced we'd be satisfied wilh them today. For we'd know of nothing'
better to compare them with. But fortunately the manufao
hirers weren't satisfied. Not that they were any more idealistia '
than the average citizen.

Ao But oath ono (mow that if he could put out a little hit
better product than his competitors, he could get more business.
So they all kept racking their brains for improvements. Prog
ress, from year; to year, was gradual-as it always is. But in 30
years, these combined improvements made a phenomenal total.
5t As a result, the American oil and automotive Industrie '
today have completely outstripped the rest of the world. No
monopoly-private or governmental-could have accomplished
as much. For there simply aren't the incentives to better your
product when vou already control all the trade.
6 So as long as there's still room for improvement in aa
industry, the only way to guarantee maximum progress is to
have an economic system that guarantees maximum incentitts.
Our American system provides these to a degree no other $y
tern has ever approached. - J '
