Advices from the front lndl-
cated that British reinforcements
being hurled into the struggle
had played an important part in
the flanking operations, which
were part of a carefully-laid de
fense plan.
One British column, composed
of tanks and mobile artillery,
was said to have swept widely
around Rommel's right, flank
late yesterday afternoon to
strike the axis forces in the rear.
Both sides were reported

Out How Hot
Pavement Can Be
TACOMA, July 8 (IP) Harry
Palmer remembered too late a
lesson he learned when a boy
that highway pavements, in hot
weather, will blister bare feet.
Palmer signed a complaint to
day against another motorist,
claiming tho party of the second
part was responsible for the
painful blistering of the solos
of his feet.
In requesting the warrant be
srvn. Palmer, who hO'Med in
to justice court on crutches with
feet bandanged, explained he
was dressed only in bathing
trunks yesterday and was on
his way to a nearby lake when
his automobile tangled with an
other. '
The driver of the other ve
hicle, he said, approached him
with part of an axle in one hand,
making it necessary for Palmer
to get out of the vehicle and
placate the party of the second
part while hopping around on
the pavement, sans shoes.

BASIN NOTED
A complete clean-up of the
1941 Klamath hay crop empha-
oilGS tho iiripuTMftiiCe Of Jul! liny
production , this year, County
Agent C. A. Henderson said Fri
day. Ordinarily, Henderson stated,
there is a carry-over of from 10,
000 to 20,000 tons of hay from
one season to another in the
Klamath basin.
This year, there is no surplus.
Henderson attributed this to late
feeding in the spring, increase
in the number of cattle In the
area, and heavy, dairy feeding.
A hay crop clean-up such as
occurred this year is almost un
precedented. A somewhat simi
lar condition occurred in 1826
or 1927.
The county agent said that
cold temperatures in the late
spring made the first cutting of
this years alfalfa crop unusual
ly light To meet the situation.
the agent said, farmers will
probably put up more grain hay
this year than usual. He also
anticipates there will be little
wasting of hay this year.
It is important, he said, that
there be plenty of labor to han
dle the hay harvest in the basin,
to help insure the fullest pos
sible production.
Last year, the crop totaled
more than 150,000 tons.

At a gulf coast port, the eighth

Captain Hugh Bradbord Bent

moving too fast to permit
launching 'lifeboats at the mo
ment she was hit, and third
Engineer J. Steel, who was lost,
stopped the engines so lifeboats
could get away.
