A dispatch recorded by Unit ed Press, San Francisco, called the American B-29 pilots "white albino apes." A large number of refugees, "cornered by a huge inferno," were saved at the last minute when the imperial guard opened the gates of the emperor's gar den and let them come in, Domei said. Fire Spreads Fast This report said fires broke out in the Yotsuya ward of Tokyo and spread so swiftly over a wide area that many fire fighting brigades and thousands of civilian fire fighters "were unable to get them under con trol." , "Those countless -numbers who were rendered homeless sought refuge under the pro tection of the remaining police NOTICE TO CREDITORS In the County Court of the State of Oregon for Jackson County.

GENEVIEVE W. McCORKLE A number of sufferers were also cornered by this huge inferno until they were able to seek temporary shelter in vacant lots fronting the gate of the Shin Juku imperial garden," the en emy dispatch said. "As the flames began to reach the direction of the lots, the air raid victims gave up all hope of survival and escape. "Then, like a voice from heaven, the huge gate of the im perial garden, by a stroke of fate, opened. A warm, kindly voice calmly said: 'Do not hes itate to enter'. Then they were led into the garden by police men and imperial guards, "The refugees' eyes were filled with smoke and tears of gratitude. "One of the officers of the Imperial guard said: 'A part of the imperial palace was also burned by wanton enemy raid ers and we are all in the same boat. However the throng has graciously opened Shlnjuku im perial garden for these suffer ers.' " Daily Weather Report FORECASTS Medford and vicinity: Fair tonight and Thursday.

STORE PAY LESS AND DRESS BETTER Y VIA KLAMATH IS Wide interest has been aroused in Medford by a press dispatch from Portland yesterday which stated that a highway commis sioner had asked that Oregon's main inter-regional highway be routed from Eugene to Klamath Falls rather than from Eugene to Ashland. Business men and oth ers, who believe that this region is already suffering from a lack of adequate transportation, are expected to oppose the sugges' tion and the matter will be dis cussed at the semi-monthly meet ing of the Chamber of Com merce board Friday noon. According to the press report, Arthur Schaup told the commis sion that the distance between Eugene and Weed, Calif., is 20 miles longer over the Pacific highway through Ashland than over the Willamette highway to The Dalles-California highway. Improvements on both roads, as drawn up in the state high way engineer's 15-year program, the release continued, would make the Eugene-Klamath Falls road seven miles shorter and more efficient because of better grades and less snow. . The dispatch quoted Schaup as declaring "Engineers cannot beat nature and God gave us a natural route from Eugene to Klamath Falls. Besides, the Wil lamette route would cost $5,000, 000 less. No vote was taken and the commission will study the plan, the release concluded. Livestock Portland. Ore., April 18 (UP) Livestock: Cattle 150, calves 25. Very active, fully steady.

New York N, Y. "Russians, Poles men from all the Allied nations swarmed out of those camps grabbing at anything which might be food. "Most of them took time out to cook the animals a little but some bit right Into the raw flesh they were so famished. Some of the prisoners searched the Ger man houses for garbage, and some even removed dead rats from traps." Gonzales said there were sev eral hundred British and Amer icans among the liberated thous ands .but that he did not. see them eating the rats or dogs. The American, troops who freed the prisoner :; captured five German generals and three divi sions in their sweep through the .pocket. - Guards Trampled The hysterical, hungry prison ers swept their guards aside when the prison gates were opened. Gonzales said the freed men were like a giant herd of cattle on the stampede. Two German guards who were at the entrance to one cage were killed when the wave of shout ing humanity knocked .them down and trampled over them In the dash for freedom. The situation in the 99th area was like a riotous crowd right after a football game. Prisoners were being taken so fast the tactical situation was almost forgotten. One of the generals taken cap tive demanded he be given a pri vate town house in the village. MaJ. Gen. Walter E. Lauer, commander of the 99th, listened to his demands, and then smil ingly ordered him placed in the "generals' stockade." There the surprised Serman found two of his superiors. Poor Digestion?
