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.

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-
