'..'page two WILD FLIGHT OF, (Continued ronvPage One) lice here were notified to be on the watch -for the paiiy giving their car license number. Under Arrest ' Officer Walter Walker spent Tuesday, his day off, driving about In his private car looking for the Fosters, and recognized the Foster car parked in front of the county school shops on Sum mers lane. Officer Walker got out of his car Bnd approached Foster, who was talking to men at the school shops about obtaining a bus for defense -work in Utah. The offi cer told Foster he was under ar rest and started to search him. ! Foster's Answer According to the officer, Fos ter scuffled with him and picked up a rock. ; Walker went to his car and obtained a shotgun. Meanwhile, Foster got into his car and locked the doors. Walker called to him to get out and give up. Foster's answer was to start the car. "I could have blasted him out of the car, but I did not know the seriousness of the case against him," said Walker. "I did not want to kill him. Instead, I fired at a rear tire, ripping it off the rim." Led Officer But the fugitive got underway, despite . this handicap, and Walker gave chase. The flight led out Summers lane to the airport, then to the left to state highway 39, south on 89 to Mack's store. There Foster swung onto the Spring lake road, and by devious back country roads led the pursuing officer to a point near the state line" road Just south of Merrill. -Slowed Down Walker said that despite the faetf Foster was running on only three tires and a rim, he man aged to get speed up to 60 miles an hour or more. Walker was unarmed except for the shotgun. He frequently rah up close behind Foster, but could not get In front of him on the narrow back roads, and Foster would swerve to prevent the of ficer heading him. Walker could not stop' to shoot, because Foster would immediately run out of range... " , -. This kept up to the point near Merrill, where Walker slowed down when he thought he rec ognized the car of another state officer.--- .The third car, however, passed 'Walker,' and rolled up the dust between the officer and Fos ter's car -It-was at this time that Walker lost the fugitive, and he ;drove quickly to Merrill and notified headquarters here. '5: Suspicion State policemen from here, headed by Sergeant E. W. Tich enor, went immediately to Tule lake, where they picked up Chief of Police Frank Rhoads, High way Patrolman Fred Engel, and Deputy Sheriff Roy Dysert. Inquiry at Tulelake disclosed that Ms. Foster's mother was working at Henzel brothers' Tu lana farms at the south end of Tule lake near the west side road. Officers suspected that Foster had been heading in that direction - when he fled from Walker, and drove toward Tu lana farms. About two. miles from the farm headquarters, they sighted New Today-2 Big Hits! Continuous from 12:30 ABDUCTORS ENDS AT TULE I I TQy p-TYr Prepare To Bo Scared!

He gave up without resistance. Taken to Tulelake The officers then went on to the farm headquarters and picked up Mrs. Foster and the little girl, Sharon. It was learned they had been taken directly to Tulelake after the flight from Bend and Foster had then, on Tuesday, driven back to Klamath Falls where he met up with Officer Walker and the wild pursuit followed. Foster told the officers that after shaking off Walker, he had decided to abandon his car and walk on to Tulana farms. He left the car on the state line road, and had walked five or six miles when he was arrested. Defense Worker The Fosters waived extradi tion and with Sharon were brought to Klamath Falls by state police, arriving about 10 p. m. Tuesday. The little girl was taken to Llghtfoot hospital and the Fosters were lodged in the county jail. . Foster told the officers he had been working on a defense con struction project in Utah. Sev eral months ago he worked on the Japanese relocation project at Newell, near Tulelake, and it was then that he had become familiar with back roads he used in the flight from arrest by Walker. Foster was recalled by the officers at Tulelake and this led to the suspicion he had head ed for Tulana farms where his mother-in-law works. Asked for Child Sherman Telford, father of two-year-old Sharon, arrived with his wife at 3 o'clock this morning and after contacting city police went directly to Light foot hospital where he took the little girl from her bed. The family returned to Bend at 8 o'clock, state police said. Telford told officers that Shar on's mother, Mary Elizabeth Fos ter, and her husband, Gene, called at his home Sunday and asked for the child. When Tel ford refused to let Sharon go with the couple the mother is quoted as saying, "If you don't let me have her I'll get her some how." At one time, Telford said, the couple asked to take the little girl out to buy her some clothes. Monday evening the Fosters returned to the house, Telford said. He became suspicious while talking with them in the living room. Suddenly Foster stood up, stretched and lunged at Tel ford. Both men fought in the house, proceeded out-of-doors where they dealt each -Other blows. In the meantime, Mrs.' Foster grabbed the little sir! and ran to the car. A passerby intet- and Foster then ran for the car, and drove, away. . - Drove Bus Telford filed a charge of child stealing against the two in the Bend justice court and bond was set at $2700, officers said. Sher iff McCauley of Deschutes coun ty was expected here today to move the Fosters from the coun ty. jail where they were placed Immediately after their arrest. Officers said Foster had been employed as a bus driver during the construction of the Japanese reception center at Tulelake and more recently on a government project in Utah.

If the north shore of Africa can be wholly taken over by our side, it will open the Mediterranean supply route and obviate the necessity of going clear around the southern tip of Africa. That, In Itself, will be a big gain. In addition, Italy can be pounded from the air from Afri can bases. -HURCHILL adds that In Britain the church bells, si lent since the first invasion threat as their ringing was to have been the signal of an in vasion, will be rung next Sunday in celebration of the African vic tory. - He adds that in due time an invasion of the continent across the channel or the North Sea will follow, but will be delayed until the enemy is more definite Jy weakened. . He asserts that the present movement Is of such magnitude vas to result in keeping the prom ise that were made to Russia. - r-.;..,.- . TTHE news today sounds ALL 1 GOOD.

In addition to stealing his child, Telford said Foster made off with a $4 cigarette lighter. Telford and the present Mrs. Foster were divorced some time ago in Bend. Mrs. Telford (now Mrs. Foster) was not present at the divorce proceedings, and Sharon was given into the cus tody of her father.

If the French can be brought over on our side, even weak as they aro, and the Italians can be separated from the Germans, as they v jre in the last war, it will mean much. DON'T doubt that great events that may mean the turning point of the war are in progress. But don't jump to the unwarranted conclusion that the end of the war Is near. That isn't true. We're Just be ginning to make our weight felt.
