Newspaper Page TextOctober 21, IPtiL PAGE TWO KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON ARMYWITHfN 50 MILES OF RED CAPITA L (Continued from Page One) resisting 'in this sector, and red army counter-attacks near Kalinin, 95 miles northwest of Moscow, were reported to have thrown Die nazis back across tho Iver river. The German high command said nazi and Italian troops smashing into Russia vital Donets river industrial basin, source of rich supplies of iron, coal and manganese, captured Stalino yesterday. Stalino, a city of 435,000 population, lies on one "of the two main rail lines between Moscow and tho great Caucasian oil fields. A bulletin from Adolf Hitler's field headquarters, describing Stalino as one of the most im portant armament centers in the Donets basin, said axis forces took the surrounding region yes terday and that "Stalino itself was taken by Alpinists." These might be either German or Italian troops. "The reich's war flag is fly . ing from one of the most im portant industrial plants in this city," the German high com mand said. Nazi military commentators reported that the southern axis armies were led by picked units of Hitler s own elite guard. They indicated that Rostov, gateway to the Caucasus, soon would probably become the pivot for a gigantic new encir clement movement to take the Donets basin. . On the bloody central front before Moscow, the German high command said Gen. Pet rov, identified as commander In chief of the Russian 50th army and a member of the su preme soviet council, bad been found dead on the battlefield east of Bryansk, 200 miles south of Moscow. In the north, German military dispatches reported that red army troops counter-attacking around Lake Ladoga, near Len ingrad, had suffered heavy losses. The Germans acknow ledged, however, that the soviet counter blows, had been launch ed on a broad scale with great ferocity.

Oct. 21 UP) -1 Claude Buchanan, president of college were preparing to ra tion, said today the University of Oregon and Oregon State the Oregon Taxpayers' fed era new a battle over science and commercial courses. He said the matter was to come up at the state board of higher education meeting at Ashland next Monday and Tuesday. "The university covets the de partment of pure science that was allocated to the .college by the survey commission, enjoin ed by state law in 1929. No doubt the college will counter by requesting that commerce, that was developed at the Corvaliis institution, and allocated to the university, be restored to the college. All of which will mean reinstatement of the principle of duplication of courses at the sep arate institutions and defeat of the principle for which the uni fied system was created," Buch anan said. . . j . . "Taxpayers r ' entitled " to know why the board has chosen to receive the chancellor's rec ommendation and taktr action, on this important matter af he meeting 'h" Ashland as far as possible from the interests in volved," he added. --. Buchanan said he was making his statement in an effort to call the board's action to. public attention. . ....... " . . .

Farmer Faces Charges for Chaining Wife J VANDALIA, 111., Oct 21 (UP) An information charging false imprisonment was filed in Fay ette county court Monday against Meal Cahoon, 62-year-old farmer whose arrest Saturday resulted in discovery that he chained his 19-year-old wife head and foot to a bed each time he left his 112-acre river bottom farm. Cahoon was held in lieu of $1000 bond on a charge of as sault with a deadly weapon. The accusation was filed by three railroad section workers who claimed Cahoon, at the point of a gun, forced them to sign con fessions to intimacy with his 19-year-old wife, Rosie. .Sheriff C. F. Chesier discov ered the imprisonment Saturday when he went to the river bot tom farm to arrest Cahoon. He found the house padlocked, but MrOXJahoon shouted from the 'inside her husband was "in town." , Arrested later in Vandalia, Cahoon refused to give Cheshier the keys to his home until the sheriff threatened to break down the door. -"Cheshier, after unlocking pad locks and chains on three doors, found Mrs. Cahoon in a bedroom, a log chain around her neck binding her to the head of an iron bed. Another chain wound through the foot of the bed and was attached to a 60-pound piece of iron. At her side was her two- month-old son, Nealius. "He treats me all right," Mrs. Cahoon told the sheriff when she had been freed from her chains. "He's just afraid I'll run off." When she was asked to ac company Cheshier to Vandalia, she said: "But I can't go this way. My clothes are locked up in the corn crib." Cheshier, working through three other sets of padlocks and chains, finally obtained her clothing from the crib, 200 feet north of the house. .
