Two Objectives Meanwhile, RAF bombers heavily attacked the Japanese held Akyab airdrome on the Burma coast this morning. The situation was contusing, but in general it appeared that the Japanese were bent on two major objectives: 1. Driving up the Burma road toward the heart of China, per haps with the hope of capturing Generalissimo C h 1 n a n g Kai Shek' war capital at Chungking, about BOO miles from Burma. 2. Driving Gen. Harold Alex ander's exhausted British armies westward out of Burma into In dia. 1 Battle of Australia For the first time in weeks, Gen. Douglas MacArthur's headquarters men tioned no combat in any theater of his land or sea front in the southwest Pacific. Bad weather limited aerial activity, but Australian dis patches said the Japanese had apparently received reinforce ments for their battered air bases in New Britain and New Guinea and that renewed activity on a large scale was expected within a few days.

JjftJl Donald Klamath Civilian Fire Auxiliary Studies British Technique for Use in Case of Emergency Here (Editor's Note: This is the fourth in a series of articles on civilian defense in Klamath Falls and Klamath county.) Br MARY JANE JENKINS In every list of war heroes issued from England, one classi fication is always included: the home front tire-fighters. To these hard-working men goes the lion's share of credit for holding down fires that were supposed to level London to the ground. Should civilian defense fire-fighting or total war ever come to Klamath Ionization Is H. H. Akin. Squad Falls, it would be met with the same well-organized fire-fighting technloue that has been dis. played in England. Seven days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, 80 out of 150 Klamath volunteers were doggedly turning out every Sun day for regular fire department training under the direction of Firs Chief Keith Ambrose. These volunteers compose the auxill ary firemen who would work hand-in-hand with the regular 10-man fire-fighting force in case of an emergency. In add! tion to fire-fighting training, all the men have completed 20 hours of first aid. Because around 20 of the vol unteer firemen have gone on to other jobs, there is room and need for "active, able-bodied, red-blooded volunteers," accord' ing to Ambrose, to bring Klam ath Falls' fire-fighting forces up to 100 men. In training the volunteer fire men, nine squads were formed and every fireman was required to be thoroughly familiar with each building assigned to his squad. The men were equipped with shovels, axes, pump cans and ropes provided by the city, and given thorough training in fighting incendiary bombs and phosphorus fires. Now fully organized, in case of an emergency the entire fire fighting forces would report to the fire department, and work directly on orders from Am brose, who would be stationed at the control center. Combined with the auxiliary fire-fighting organizations are the demolition and rescue crews. Ambrose plans to begin instruc tion immediately for 10 men, headed by Clarence Snod grass, in demolition; and for eight men, headed by Edward Sharon, in rescue work. The need for these two crews, Ambrose pointed out, is not so pressing in Klamath Falls as it is in large cities where tall steel buildings en danger the public. Equipment, such as acetylene torches, shov els, etc., is located and on call, Ambrose said, for use by the de molition and rescue squads. Directly behind the trained fire-fighters, stands every man, woman and child who has a roof over his head. Every household er must know how to protect his own home. To this end, Ambrose has given a series of some 40 talks on fighting incendiary and phosphorus bombs; and the city's regular firemen have dis tributed pamphlets on the sub- DOORS OPEN 1:30 AND 6:45 4 JUST 2 MORE DAYS!
