PAGE TWO HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON Auiriint 21, 10t2 475 STOP WORK AT TANK PLANT IN DETROIT (Continued from Page One) era in leven big aluminum plants. Last night Charles R. Ward, a United States labor conciliation commissioner, asked the union not to take any further steps to ward a strike until he had ex plored the possibilities of a set tlement, Lieut. Col. Georgo E. Strong of the army air corps also told the unionists a work stoppage in aluminum produc tion would cause an acute dan ger as "we certainly cannot have adequate airpower if there is an interruption to aluminum supply." Dally Sessions The delegates from the plants at New Kensington, Pa., Detroit, Edgjwater, N, J., Alcoa, Tenh., Bauxite, Ark., Badin, N. C, and Bridgeport-Fairfield, Conn., have been in daily session since Wed nesday discussing the war labor board's ruling which found that straight-time hourly earnings on a company-wide basis has in creased 15.8 per cent between January 1941 and May 1942 while the cost of living increased 15 per cent. The board set a pol icy in the "little steel" case of permitting wage increases to off set the cost of living increase. Labor members of the WLB dis sented, saying the ruling of the aluminum case did not apply the wage formula "in a just and equitable manner." Union leaders said the stop page at the California plant was unauthorized but William B. Taylor, west coast director of aviation for the CIO United Au tomobile Workers said he had been authorized to ask presiden tial Intervention unless a settle ment was reached at a meeting of union officials and manage ment representatives today. Com pany officials denied there had been a lookout and said produc tion had been affected . only slightly. . , Editorials en News .

If they come back for another try, it will be a sign of the importance they attach to tea island bases.) It may be expected that they ejrQl come back in greater force. ;. The New Zealand reports in dicate that the Jap troops left in the Tulagl region are fight ing a bitter delaying action in the hope of receiving reinforce ments. nrHZ battle for Stalingrad and " the Volga goes on with un diminished fury. ' The Germans, by Russian ad mission, got across the Don yes terday and held with a part of their forces. Today bayonet charging Russians are reported to have "slaughtered all but a few" of these Germans on the east bank of the Don. The situation so far isn't too good. As long as these Germans can hold their place on the other side of the river there is the possibility that they may be reinforced and a full-scale cross ing made possible. VO" must have noticed that the Russians refer only to the number of Germans they have killed. Killing Germans is the No. 1 Job of Timoshenko's slowly re treating armies. If they can KILL ENOUGH of them, the time will come when they can turn on the German invaders and drive them back. It is a grim job. But war is grim.

Other reports told of "revolts by communist elements and par tisans" in eastern Slavonia dur ing the first half of August in which German soldiers were at tacked, food stocks burned and farm machinery destroyed. Yugoslav circles in Jerusalem reported fierce battles between Croats and axis troops near the Slovenian town; of Gorjnjsko and Rogaskaslatina. The Yugoslav report added that Ustachi (pro-axis Croat) gar risons in several villages near Zagreb had been annihilated by patriots and that axis troops burned a number of villages near Ljubljana. r AXIS TROOPS- IN VOLGA DRIVE (Continued from Page One) the land bridge to the middle east, the Russians acknowledged that German vanguards had made some advance southeast of Pyatigorsk in a drive . toward the Grozny oil fields. Leningrad Meanwhile, the Russians proudly marked down the first anniversary of the siege of Len ingrad, where the red army, aided by the city's 3,000,000 civilian population, has held the Germans at bay for 12 months. . Dispatches to Pravda said Adolf Hitler, expecting a swift conquest of the old-time capital of the Czars, had thrown 60 di visions into the long assault and hauled up 6,000 big guns, 19, 000 machineguns, 4,500 mortars and 1,000 tanks in a vain at tempt to crack the city's de fenses. Heavy local ' fighting still raged around the northern me tropolis, with a mid-day com munique reporting that more than 1,000 Germans had been wiped out in 48 hours. Russian troops were credited with cap turing an important strategic position in a limited offensive, v While the Russians appeared to have stalled the great nazi drive against Stalingrad, for: the moment at least, the British claimed mastery of the air over much of western Europe as the first big dividend of the battle of Dieppe. London quarters said the wings of the German air force had been clipped In the tremen dous sky fights over Dieppe and that allied control of the air now was complete not only over the English channel but even deep into nazi-occupied territory itself. Yesterday's unprecedented sweep of 500 allied fighters across the French coast in broad daylight 200 more than had ever engaged in such a raid be fore was cited as proof of United Nations command of the skies. FOLKESTONE, Eng., Aug. 21 (P) Two German planes bomb ed and machine-gunned the streets of a small southeast coast town at noon today, hitting a theatre and some other build ings.

Douglas MacArthur's air scouts searched the vast island-dotted South seas in quest of Japanese naval activity amid reports that the enemy was massing new strength for a counterblow against U. S. marines in the Tulagl area. Islands Capturtd The "navy's announcement that several islands had been "recently captured", indicated that . the marines, cutting through the mountainous jun gles, nad virtually completed occupation of tne strategic bases. The leathernecks were known to have gained beach heads on at least tnree and per haps six of the eastern Solo mons. Informed . quarters in Auck land, New Zealand, said the Japanese were busily reorgan izing their naval and air forces in the northern Solomons, ap parently for a renewed attempt to drive out the American sea borne invaders in the southeast. These quarters said Japanese troops in the Tulagi region were fighting a bitter delaying action in the hope of receiving rein forcements, and declared the outcome still hangs in the bal ance. FDR PUIS STOP TO "TOO MUCH TALK" WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 (P) Declaring heads of some govern ment agencies were talking too much, President Roosevelt today directed all government admin istrators to refrain from public debate of controversial questions of policy and to stop criticizing each other in such controversies. Mr1. Roosevelt said that such airing of divergent opinions in the public press' were being seized upon and exploited by en emies of the United Nations. In identical letters to the heads of each department and agency, the president said: , "Disagreements either as to fact or policy should not be pub licly aired, but are to be submit ted to me by the appropriate heads of the conflicting agencies. "The policy of the government should be announced by mcf, as the responsible head thereof.' Dis agreements as to facts can be resolved, if necessary, by inves tigations and surveys directed by mo. "Will you please see to it that your particular department and its various bureaus and divisions comply with these Instructions." Willkie Will Tell Allies Truth of U. S. War Effort (Continued from Page One) duction dropped in July to eight-hundredths of 1 per cent of total man days worked, from nine-hundredths of 1 per cent in June. (Further, the story quoted, the number of man-days lost dropped from 254,653 in June to 233,614 in July, a decrease of approximately 8 per cent. In the same period, the number of man-days worked rose from ap proximately 275,000,000 to 308, 000,000.) Because of what he termed a disproportioned exposition of the news, he said false impres sions were spread not only in Britain, but also in the Near East and were seized on by our enemies. " Reports that ten men walk out are front page stuff for these enemies, Mr. Roose velt declared. So, he continued, he had asked Willkie to tell the troth on the other side of the Atlantic. Reporters reminded him that there were sometimes state ments by competent authorities, members of congress, for ex ample, that production was fall ing off, and that this constituted legitimate hews at times. Yes, the chief executive agreed, with a note of skeptic Ism in his voice, but he said It depended largely on what paper the reporter works for.

Meanwhile It was announced lhat 11 mora French civilians had died of wounds, bringing the battle's civilian death list to 36 at Dieppe and 11 elsewhere. Damage to Dieppe wai de clared to be great. BERN, Switzerland, Aug. 21 OP) Foreign military special ists expressed a belief today that the allied landing raid on Dieppe proved that a second front could be opened ln France. Essential to its success, these sources said, would be sufficient superiority in land-based planes, adequate transport facilities, and a strong clement of sur prise. Published neutral descrip tions of the recently, completed German system of channel for. tifications indicated that a full scale allied Invasion effort would cost heavily, but would have a chance of advancing to the Meuse and Rhine, provided could be out-weighed in men and materials.

Over our heads In the blue, cloud-docked French sky wore fought tho greatest air engage ments since the butt lo of Britain, dogfights carried on to a dlzr.y accompaniment of planes explod ing in the air. diving down in flnmcs or plummeting into the sea from thousands of feet. Hour after hour tho guns of the sup, porting warships growled sal voes at targets ashore, where by now our tanks also wero In vio lent action. Hall-Spot Athort tlnmrlhly nnLiiM rumbled UO and down the French coast, shrouded for miles in smoke screens covering the fleet. There was heroism at sea and In the skies in those hours, but the hell-spot was ashore, where the Canadians fought at cUwe quarters' with tho nazls. They fought to the end with courage and daring. When they approached Dieppe it was an arsenal of coastal de fense. When they left Dieppe It was afire, its ruins and its dead lying under a smoky shroud. Tim operation against Dieppe started from a British port Tues day evening. I boarded a ship which also carried a Royal regiment from Toronto. It was 7 p. m. Only then were we told that Dieppe was 'our destination, The Royals took it coolly enough. They had been trained with the rest of the force for sev eral months on combined opera tions for lust such a job. Tatkt "Brltftd" Maps, mosaics and photo graphs of Dleppo were issued, and as the boats put to set with other ships of the raiding fleet the troops were "briefed" In their tasks. Below deck the men sat around, cleaning weapons, fusing grenades and loading magazines of Sten, Bren and Tommy guns. :. In that darkness the flotilla formed: shadowy tank-landing craft that looked like oil- tank ers, a score of small assault boats, destroyers, gunboats, mo tor launches and torpedo boats. A few officers In the raiding party drank some beer with the ship captain and chatted about everything except the operation. We had a snack of bully beef, bread and butter with tea and then went oyer the sldolnto an assault craft ' 1 - . After leaving the mother ships, our flotilla of little craft took positions In a line astern. The Canadians were to land at Puits, one mile east of Dieppe and establish themselves in that Flanklno area. Just as we were pushing away from the mother ship, an old British tar whispered to us: "Cheerio, laddies, best luck. Give the a licking." Nobody Nervous It was pleasant enough In the open assault boats. Nobody teemed particularly nervous about the coming business, al though it was to be the Canad ians' first time in action. I had about convinced myself that this was only another of those familiar exercises when at 4:10 a. m., about SO minutes be fore we were due to hit the beach, a flare arched over the channel. Tracer bullets followed quick ly, long- green and red streaks marking their paths. They were too close for comfort. "E-boats," announced a sailor. Atmoaphtre Tense The atmosphere suddenly grew tense and wide-awake. Men tightened their gHpr on weap ons. A sailor hoisted a Lewis gun into place and cocked it. Our boats slipped steadily on through the quiet waters. Our motor was hardly audible. Then the German E-boats ap peared close by, off to one side. They opened up with shots that bounced bright red off one or two of our boats.

Their faces were taut and their Jaws were firm. We knew this wouldn't bo any porty. We could see destroyers, and gun boats creeping up behind the attack flotillas raring for the main shore.
