The invaders were attacking furiously also in the Kletskaya sector, 80 miles northwest of Stalingrad, but the Russians declared they were holding fast, A single red army unit was credited with destroying more than 100 nazi tanks in throw- lng back 17 German attacks below Kletskaya.

Stockholm dispatches said German occupation authorities had ordered a state of alert along the entire Norwegian coast and had made arrange ments to evacuate the entire civilian population at short notice. The nazis warned all Nor wegians that anyone aiding the Allies would be executed im mediately. German night raiders bombed scattered points in Eng land and Scotland, but the at tacks apparently were on a small scale. Bad weather kept the RAF grounded. In the battle of Egypt, the lull in land fighting continued except for artillery duels, but U. S. army force bombers struck at a big axis convoy in the Mediterranean and sank a 10,000-ton ship, it was official ly announced. RAF bombers sank two other axis vessels and damaged others in an attack off the enemy-occupied port of Sidi Barranl, Egypt. war PAVED FOR (Continued from Page One) to start a rationing program almost overnight, instead of hav ing to take six to 10 weeks as In the past when we have had to let the emergencies wait while we got scores of millions of coupon books printed," O'Leary said.

But they held a supcr-rcgist ra tion early this year in which all agricultural: were asked to in dicate approximately how much more in the way of butter, oats, chickens, bacon, spuds, spinach and like items they expected to harvest, market and exact pro ceeds therefrom during the nrst war year. , The answers pointed directly at 15 per cent or htird by same. Since then, Willi spuds hnlf- grown, pigs half-raisea and cows half-milked, it appears the gentlemen were, if anything, a mite too modest. Kor Hit to per cent averaged goal will al most certainly be reached and probably surpassed. Look at tht Record Let's take a look at the record. In the dairy products depart ment we find that Malin's cheese factory has spiraled production to a level exceeding that of any previous record and we've a brand new cheese factory right here in town racing through its first year in exceptional fashion. Cheese, if you don't already know, is badly needed by our allies in feeding both civilian population and service person nel. It's packed with nutrition, they say, and a boatload goes a long way. The price has peon pegged at better than 50 cents per pound which assures local curdlers of a profit loosely de fined as close to dandy. In the milk and cream division, Klamath county is taking care of all its own needs in addition to contributing largely to the support of more than 15,000 Jap anese at Camp Newell, Calif. Of Newell's daily needs, only 250 gallons are supplied from Yreka. The balance, and it's quite a sum, comes strictly from hereabouts. Eggs Exported The county's poultry goal was one 60 per cent over last year's. Our Mr. Henderson did not dis close in calculable figures just how close we were but he did reveal that for the first time in history, eggs are being exported from the county in sizeable quan tities. "There must be a heavy in crease," he ventured. The livestock increase has been equally monumental. Beef, quoth Mr. Henderson, is shoot ing at a 22 per cent boost in slaughter. "And I believe they have done it," he further quoth. Pigs have been cooperating, too, but they're just a little shy of a 60 per cent increase goal. Somewhere between 40 and 50 per cent is the figure. Which, you'll concede, is still and all a pretty terrific uppage. Definitely surpassing are the oerformances of vegetables. Commercially, cabbages, turnips, rutabaga, garlic, onions, et al., have been growing at a rate up wards of 54 per cent speedier than they did last year. Victory Gardens Double Victory gardeners have more than exactly doubled, perhaps in number, and certainly in pro duction. In the vegetable kingdom, Klamath county is the site of an unparalleled surge of patriotic production. It's in Austrian peas which are not eaten but plowed under. This shade of the planned scarcity era is a production aid this time, however, and not a device in keeping with the slaughter of little pigs. They're a soil builder and part of a planned war program to put nit rogen back into the ground, thus releasing high nitrogen-content fertilizers for use in the manu facture of explosives. They're used right here and lots of 'em sent to other sections for soil building. Besides that, Austrian peas are a fair stock feed. But the astonishing feature of the whole program is that Klam ath county has planted 6000 acres. This is merely an increase of 1200 per cent over the 500 acres of 1941. Grains? They're un. says Mr. Henderson without saying more. Barley and oats in par ticular. Potatoes As for potatoes, the acreace hasn't been increased but the prospects are good for an excel lent crop. Mostly on account of the weather. The future is pos itively dazzling for an excellent DANCE MERRILL EVERY Saturday Night 10 P. M. 'Til 3 A. M. BALDY'S BAND- Gandhi Wins Authorization For Disobedience Campaign NEW DELHI, Aug. 8 AP The government of India to night declined to negotiate witli the all-India congress party on the basis of the party's Bombay rmmlutjon calling tor immedi ate independence under threat of a civil disobedience cam paign. By PHESTON GROVER BOMBAY, Indiu, Aug. 8 (AP) Almost solidly backed by the all-India congress party, wiz ened little Mohandas K. Gand hi won authnrmtii,t today to lead a war-time civil disobedi ence campaign for national in dependence. With only 13 dissidents, the convention of S60 committee men voted to adopt Gandhi's "Britain must quit India" res olution after the passive gen eralissimo had appealed to America to act "while there is yet time" and align the Indian people on the Allied side of the war. Gandhi himself concluded the, session with a two-hour address, ending: "1 am pledged to the congress and the congress is pledged to do or die." price. Mostly on account of the war. We've got something else and it'll probably surprise you. The small seed business, mainly grass. It's a wartime necessity, grass, and it's used for camou flaging gun emplacements, air ports, and men. Plus landing fields. Army gentlemen are finding grass fields are consid erably slicker and quicker, in many cases, than concrete. They're easier on landing planes and quicker to construct and rebuild after a bomb shower. Most of the European seed acreage is temporarily in escrow and what's left has been for the most part blasted to eternity durated eternity, anyway. Which leaves Klamath county with a tremendous business and this'll no doubt amaze you more acre age devoted to seed than to po tatoes. Offshoots That, friends, is the broken- up picture of Klamath county wartime agriculture. But there are some offshoots we'd like to mention. The first covers the very pos sible possibility that Klamath Falls, proper, will be the site of a potato de-hydration plant employing 140 persons who will earn some $10,000 per month. The thing is being dickered out right now and we should know something definite in a week, say. Another development was sort of thrust upon us but is there nevertheless. We mean the War Relocation authority pro ject at Camp Newell. Mr. Henderson confided that 1700 acres of vegetables and 600 of other produce is under cultiva tion with many more in the next year offing. Malin's huge wartime feeding operation is a third side issue directly related to what we've been talking about. They're feeding cattle to condition them for war markets. Now.all this activity naturally ACRES OF FREE PARKING! 25c tax ANYTIME! SUNDAY & FLASH!- The Tower Scoops the Town With Another Swell FIRST RUN HIT! H HE WAS fPffffff ftm aW ajri.v ...... i Xent TAYLOR- All amendnn-iits to the Gan dhi resolution were rejected, iiK-ludimj one declaring a mass civil disobedience campaign now was untimely and imprac ticable. - Another' amendment which declared such a struggle would help Japan also was rejected. Gandhi, addressing the con vention after the adoption of the resolution, said "we shall make every effort to soil the viceroy before starting the movement." Car.il!.; iiuuiu his appeal in a letter "to American friends" before the nil-India congress convened for a session which may give the Indian leader the "go ahead sign" to launch a campaign of civil disobedience designed to end British domin ion over India. The letter, which will be published in Gandhi's news paper tomorrow, was delivered exclusively to American corres pondents today. Although Gan dhi had said earlier that he would give Britain time to make further proposals before launching the campaign, little hope of such intercession was held after yesterday's meeting, needs some manning and more than just several pieces of new equipment. Which is where we can find the only rub in the en tire business. Labor Shortage Labor shortage is the most serious. Migration to industrial jobs and the armed services have pushed farmers back close to tlx) goal line. But, says Mr. Hend erson ago,in, the problem is be ing met by the old neighbor policy of doubling up helping the other guy after which he helps you by entire families joining in, and by the aid of city fellers who use their' week ends raising blisters and pitch ing hay at the same time. Mr. Henderson says that with all that, we're sticking pretty close to schedule. Harvest time will add to the burden and it may be necessary to close schools tough, isn't it kids? boost wages and gener ally scramble for whomever is still around. The truck problem is not yet really serious put by next year, we discover, it will approach the critical. Ditto with other equipment. But that's next year and there's a winter in between. So there, ladies and gentlemen, you've a mid-summer idea of what goes on in the country your country. The outlook is certainly not stygian. If an army marches on Its stomach, as is the common sup position, ours is halfway there already. SHIP TORPEDOED WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 (AP) The navy announced today that a medium-sized United States merchant vessel was torpedoed by an enemy submarine about the middle of July in the At lantic ocean several hundred miles off the coast of South America. Survivors have been landed at an east coast United States port.

The announcement of tho ex ecutions was handed reporters by Stephen Early, presidential secretary. Several miles away, reporter outside the district Jail watched ambulances drive Into the pri son yard at 1:24 p. m. (E.W.T.) No official word was given there that the six nazis had been exe cuted, however. An elderly grey-haired wom an, who stood for hours outside tho prison and who said she had one son in the navy and another in the army, upon learning that six of the saboteurs had died remarked: "I'm glad. I don't see why they waited 18 days, though. Of course, this is the United States but they would not have waited at all over there."
