Dis patches said the Russians beat back nazi attacks. New red army hammer blows fell along a huge arc centering before Rostov. Path Carved The arc extends up through the Don and Donets river basins into the Voronezh sector from where the Russian high com mand has pointed its offensives a o u t h and southwest toward Kharkov. Voroshilovgrad, Lik- haya and the north shore of the Sea of Azov west of Rostov. 'AH along that arc, it was in dicated in dispatches from the front and in official war bulle tins, ' the red army is carving out chunks of the defensive .lines the Germans originally es tablished in 1941. No sooner is a major gain noted in one sec tor than a complimentary suc cess is registered far on its flank along that arc Crews Work to Restore Service To Fort Klamath (Continued From Page One) doused with water which sifted through the roof, proved not to be so hard hit as feared. Equip ment was back in running order Friday and business was resumed as usual. Quick work of pro tecting the equipment with can vas was said to have saved it from more serious damage. Copco crewmen used snow hoes to trek to damaged lines in the Poe valley district. Trou ble started there at the begin ning of the storm period, ' and one repair truck was forced to return after getting three miles beyond Olene. Power in Klamath Falls was interrupted for about a minute Thursday night "When a big oil witch at Copco No. 2 bumped off. That threw the whole burden of providing the city's pbwer on the local plants, and the switches Here opened. How ever, service was restored almost immediately. Six poles were reported down in the Tule lake area, and there was trouble Thursday on the transmission line between Al turas and Tionesta. Southend people said the wind in that area Wednesday was of record velocity, and did con siderable damage.' A chimney blew off the Safeway store at Merrill, a building on the Cox lease reportedly collapsed, some damage was done to property at Tulelake, and the Frank' Krizo potato cellar at Adams Point suffered a wrecked roof. Even timber supporting the roof were ripped away. State police said all main roads are open. CHILOQUIN Early Thurs day morning Chiloquin business men and their employees were Busy mopping up water and shoveling slush. The miniature flood came when rain and warm wind melted heavy snow. Apartments and buildings on Main street were leaking quite badly. The Rexall drugstore closed down because of water in the building.' Some damage to stocks of local stores was reported.

Today, however, the Rogue was falling, schools and business opened on sched ule and save for a few slides that blocked local roads the southern Oregon city was un touched.

"In man to man fighting a large number of soviet tanks were destroyed." - Hungarian troops, which have borne the brunt of the Russian assault below Voronezh, were admitted by Premier Nicholas von Kallay of Hungary to have suffered "heavy, casualties" in fighting off "tremendous" so viet attacks. "The premier's address to the Hungarian government on the general war situation, broadcast by Berlin, included a threat of severe measures against persons guuiy of disseminating false news.

SOMEWHERE IN THE PA CIFIC, Jan. 9 (Delayed) Behind barbed-wire entanglements at this marine corps base is the largest concentration of Japan ese war prisoners In the world. To the visitor fortunate enough to gain admittance, this prison camp provides a liberal educa tion in the upsetting of firmly held beliefs about the inscrut able Nipponese. Jap officers, enlisted men and laborers captured at Guadal canal by marines those I have seen are anything but resigned and sullen prisoners of war, who brood about the misery of their lot, as they are pictured in many reports I have read. , Once over this astonishment that he is being treated like a human, being,' and given more food than he has probably had for some time, the Jap under goes a rapid adjustment Often he becomes a happy-go-lucky prisoner with a passion for horse-play, cigarettes, American slang and swing tunes. Imagine Tojo's discomfort if he knew that his warriors were calling each other ''hachi maru." which is Japanese for "8-ball." This started recently when two marines visited the camp to polish up the Japanese they had Attempt to Halt Pan-Mutuel Dog Racing Killed (Continued From Page One) can't suppress it, the state should regulate it and get some revenue out of it.

He charged that the state is running the "biggest gambling racket in the state," and that racing employes should be working in defense industries. Rep. John Hall, Portland, said that legal gambling, like racing, deprives the illegal gamblers of revenue.

One leather called the other an "8-ball." A prisoner, who possessed a smattering of English asked what that meant. When it was labor iously explained, a smile wreath ed his puckered features. He said: "hachi maru." Within an hour, these words were on the tongue of every prisoner. . Nor would Tojo appreciate the sentiments displayed by another prisoner, when- someone men tioned Germany in his presence. With thumb and forefinger of his left hand he gripped his nose firmly, while the right hand shot forward in a Hitlerlan sa lute. The Jap soldier or sailor knows far less about the war than any man in the uniform of the United Nations. Officers are astounded by the state of gen eral ignorance of world events in which the Japs have been kept Crew Refused to Unload Guadalcanal Ship, Report (Continued From Page One) source in Washington, who though he witnessed these con ditions during his service in Guadalcanal, must necessarily remain anonymous. une copyrighted story was cleared for publication by the office of censorship, the Beacon Journal said. The story quoted one marine as saying the reason "the sup plies were not landed was not because the crew couldn't get them in. The landing boats could have got in, all right. "There was no opposition from the Japs. We had the landing covered. One of the sailor informants said the marines unloaded the supplies because part of the cargo was much needed food,. The problem confronting Frenchmen still is that of de vising .a political leadership which will reconcile the stand point of those who have hitherto subscribed to Petain's authority with the standpoint of De Gaulle.

The point is that if the Ger mans can't hold their lines, with big rivers in front of them which the Russians must cross, they are nowhere near as strong as they have been in the past T-'HEY held their lines around Leningrad for a year and a half against anything the Rus sians could bring to bear, and then suddenly they CRUMBLED in the face of a determined Rus sian attack which didn't seem (as nearly as one may judge from censored news) to embody any new principles. WTATCH these signs of crumb ling German power to re sist. They are extremely im portant. If and when they be come DEFINITE AND UNMIS TAKABLE, we will be justified in believing that Hitler is In for a major DEBACLE in Russia. Also, of course, you must watch for signs of declining Rus sian offensive - power. Every thing depends on Russian power to go on hitting hard all winter. TNCIDENTALLY, it is revealed in today's dispatches that the British have a NEW fighter plane the Hawker Typhoon. . Details of performance are lacking, but it is said to be fast and heavily armored. In com bat it has beaten all types of German fighter planes, includ ing the much-touted Focke-Wulf 190 and the Messerschmldt 109 and 110. It is credited with shooting down five of the 14 German planes listed as shot down In the recent raid on Britain.
