TOKYO DECLARES
By United Press
Domei (Japanese) news agent
cy reported Monday that "count
less numbers" of Tokyo resi
dents were rendered homeless
by great fires that swept
through the city after the Sat
urday Superfortress raid.
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

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.' "

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.

Ma, Frank Gonzales. 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?
Headachy?
Sour or Upset?
Tired-Listless?
Do you feel headachy find upset due to
poorly educated food? To feel cheerful
and happy again your food must be
digested pronorly.
Each day, N ature must produce about
two pints of a vital digostive juice to
help digest your food. If Nature fails,
-our food may remain undigested
caving you headachy and irritable.
Therefore, you must increase the flow
of this digestive juice. Carter's Little
Liver Pills increase this flow quickly
often in as little as 80 minutes. And,
you're on the road to feeling better.
Don't depend on artificial aids to
counteract indigestion- when Carter!
