"The lumber industry is def initely essential to the conduct of the war program," said Stoll. "It was so declared under a rul ing of the war manpower com mission after consultation with and approval of the navy depart ment, department of agriculture, war department, and other agencies." , He pointed out that lobs in forestry, logging and lumbering have been listed to serve as guides to selective service boards in connection with the problems of occupational deferment. "It is the patriotic duty of all loggers and lumber workers to stay on their jobs," said Stoll, urging elimination of transfers from- company to company. Virgil Sexton, research and statistical official of the employ ment service, was here with Stoll for the local meetings. Stoll said that while there has been some labor supply problem in-the Klamath basin; the labor situation here is in comparatively good shape. . ; PBYIPHIBIS E- SAN DIEGO, Calif., Aug. 14 (fl5) Operating in weather con ditions described as "seemingly impossible," big UBY amphibi ans have been used in modified dive-bombing and. strafing' at tacks- in raids on Kiska, Rear Adm.

"The Catalinas have been carrying out' scouting expedi tions with virtually no ceiling and have put in hundreds of hours of blind flying, both day and night, the communication states. "In some instances the Cata linas have returned to their bases with more than 100 anti-aircraft bullet holes. The effectiveness of armor and self-sealing tanks need not be described.

Besides Voronezh, the red army's counter blows struck at Vyazma, about midway on the old Napoleonic highway from Moscow to Smolensk, and at tha German strongpolnt vt Rahev. I3umlles northwest of Moscow. In addition, the Germans cited fierce sovie attacks below Len ingrad in tha Volkhov and Lake Ilmen sectors, where tha Rus sians declared they had killed S000 nazis in two days of fight ing and captured a point held by the invaders for more than a year. Soviet dispatches said the Germans counter-attacked 11 times in a futile attempt to re capture the point, on the shore of Lake Ilmen. Caucasus Crista While the Russians took the initiative in the north, tha sit uation in the Caucasus became ever more grave. A red army bulletin conceded that German troops racing to ward the Grozny oil fields had reached Mineralnye Vody only 24 hours after breaking through soviet defenses at Cherkessk, SO miles to the west. The Russians said they were greatly outnum bered. Minerlanye Vody is less than 175 miles from the Caspian sea. At mid-day, the Russians also acknowledged that nazi columns driving toward Novorossisk on the Black sea had cracked soviet defenses near Krasnodar, 65 miles from the coast, forcing the red armies to fall back to a new line. Henderson Okehs Raise in Price Of Fire Wood (Continued from Page One) labor now unavailable because of the high wages and better working conditions offered in the war industries.

The fuel dealers said they hava been bending every effort slnca early Inst spring la use every bit of waste product from the sawmills. Three lumber com panies do not burn any ot their wast material in a' burner, it was asserted. Their total output Is used for their own boilers, the, local heating plant, and a local fuel dealer operates two shifts to use the balance when It Is available. Another lumber company uses one shift for its own use and a fuel dealer takes car of the second shift. A major factor In the fuel supply situation here, it was brought out, is that the small Independent operators are out of the business. There are few of the wood camps of other year?, the woodcutters having gone to high-paying jobs in industries. This has drastically reduced the supply of cordwood, and people who have patronized the small independents In past years are now calling for their wood from the standard operators. The standard yards, unable to get cordwood, can offer little but slabs or blocks this year. The slabs are 90 per cent pine. Blockwood production has been reduced because box factories ar generally working one shift only, and the lumber operators are using more of the logs for lumber and box material than ever before.' The fuel dealers said that the Japanese relocation center fuel consumption will not be a fac tor in the local fuel situation, because the WRA center will use wood from places remote from Klamath Falls and not in the economic range of the trade area here. It was declared that the Jap center is set up for 100 per cent coal consumption, but that some 2500 cords will be needed there for kindling. The Jap center will use 54,000 tons of coal. Bids for the wood for kindling have been asked for, and an. offer made to supply the wood from mills outside the Klamath Falls economic range. Here, summarized, is the local fuel situation: Wood Slabwood about all that is available. Orders should be placed this summer, as de liveries are na.w running far be hind. Fuel oil Ample supply at present Rationing is in pros pect. Coal Ample supply available now, but those planning to use this fuel should lay in their sup piles immediately. Similar ad vice was given by Secretary of the Interior, Ickes, solid fuel co ordinator. Many people, It was reported. are planning to use a mixture of coal and Wood this year. Many furnaces which have, been used exclusively for wood will burn coal satisfactorily, it was said. People who depend upon oil were advised to lay In a supply of wood for trashburners and fireplaces. The fuel dealers said they would welcome any legitimate Investigation of their efforts to utilize all available wood pro ducts here. They said that wood prices have not Increased since October, 1941, and that ceiling TORTILLA FLAT" HAS ii If if V At PILON ...

NES KEEP (Continued from Page Oni) Hon of land gains by fighting United Slates marines. Recalling Tokyo's dream-book accounts of the Coral sea and Midway battles, both of which turned nut to bo spectacular United Nations victories, the Japanese command reported the sinking of i British and Amer ican cruisers, nine destroyers, three submarines and 10 trans ports in the Solomons. Mora Ytt In addition, the communique said, a cruiser, three destroyers and a transport were damaged tn attacks by Japaneso warships and I'.ilcide diving Japanese air men. On the debit side, the Japaneso acknowledged only that two of their cruisers were "slightly damaged" and 21 planes lost. In contrast with the enemy's claim of 35 allied warships sunk and five damaged, official United Nations figures so far show only one cruiser sunk and two cruis ers, two destroyers and a trans-' port damaged in the attack on the Solomons, While Tokyo mnlntnlned. sil ence on land operations' in the Solomon islands, 000 miles north east of Australia, tho war min istry announced that Llcut.-Gen. Masaharu Homma had been re lieved of his post as commander-in-chief of Jupancse forces In the Philippines to permit his assign ment elsewhere. This might mean that Homma was being shifted to the Solo mons to direct tho defense of those highly strategic Islands, where American leathernecks by latest accounts aro expanding at least three beachheads. Warships Blasted Meanwhile, G e n. Douglas MacArthur's headquarters an nounced that allied bombers wero continuum to blast at Jap anese warships and transports apparently trying to relnforco their garrisons in the Solomons. Giant American Flying Fort resses and medium bombers caught the enemy yesterday in New Guinea waters, west of the Solomons, and drove home three attacks. Bad weather obscured the results. ALASKA WAR COUNCIL JUNEAU. Alaska. Aug. 10 tP) (Delayed) The ncwly-crcatcd Alaska war council today ended Its first three-day session and Territorial Governor Ernest D. Gruening announced results In eluded a resolution recommend in discontinuance of the ccn soring of newspapers in Seattle before shipment to Alaska. The resolution stated the practice of clipping items served no pracli cal purpose and indicated a great waste of timo and government money; prices have been established as of March, 1942. Coal prices have not increased since August, 1941, and oil prices have not gone up for over two years, in spite of increased freight rates. The dealers denied they have a monopoly on fuel supply any more than grocery stores have a I monopoly on grocery supply. actress "Tortilla Flat" Open I FIRM HOLD ON 10 POSITION , , , , X2' -i "WlJ Wild Bullet Fired At Rat Strikes Longview Bride LONOVIEW, Aug, 14 (PI MM.
