CHICAGO, March 19 W An unprecedi ted movement of grain by rail, exceeding the peak season of last summer, was seen by grain men today as the rea son for reported shortages of box cars in certain sections of the country during the past week. Railroads burdened with arms traffic have run into the heavi est out-of-season grain shipments in history and the prospect is that the movement will increase, rather than decrease, right up to the new harvest time in June. Railroad carloadings of grain and grain products last week, re ported yesterday by the Associa tion of American Railroads, to taled 48,599 cars, a gain of 10, 866 cars over the corresponding week in 1942.

JOHNNY V J MACK J BROWNVt Rumors continued to fly In Klamath Falls Friday concern ing the possible location of a navy base in the Upper Klamath lake area, with no definite in formation of any kind coming from an authoritative source- It was reported that Morrison- Knudsen company, big contrac tors on many government pro jects, has been looking for office space in Klamath Falls. It was learned this move might have something to do with mainten ance work Morrison-Knudsen Is understood to be doing for the Southern Pacific company. But from many sources came tips and clues. One report, that there was a concentration of equipment and other activity at Algoma, was strictly untrue. The Algoma cove was peaceful and quiet at noon Friday, with the Algoma Lumber company operating on a somewhat re stricted basis and cattle grazing on the flats. A dragline at work strengthening a dike was the only evidence of construction activity.

Sir Harold R. L. G. Alexander, allied field commander under Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, called war cor respondents together a week ago and told them they would "hear something 'interesting within a week." ' Authoritative confirms 1 1 o n was still lacking on German re ports that the British 8th army had launched a climactic as sault on the Mareth (little Mag inot) lint in. southern Tunisia, and the nazi-controlled Paris radio said the 8th army's at tacks had slackened. Booby Traps While U. S. troops picked their way through mazes of booby traps and land mines planted by the Germans in their retreat from Gafsa, allied warplanes hunted down the nazis and blasted enemy supply lines. Military, analysts said Gen. Patton's drive was part of a two-way squeeze to compel Field Marshal Erwin Rommel to stand and fight instead of rapidly shifting his armor from sector to sector or withdraw from tha Mareth line into northern Tunisia. .

Fierce Battles "In the district of Chuguev fierce battles continued." the soviet noon communique de clared. "The enemy brought up fresh forces of infantry and tanks in barracks on our post' tions.- 'The fighters of 'X' unit t- pulsed the attacks of the Hit lerites, damaged five tanks and killed up to 400 German eol dlers and officers. "As a result of tha battles in only one sector were enemy tanks able slightly to press back our detachments." Trucks Damaged Russian fliers, however. smashed at German transport, the communique said, destroy ing or damaging about 100 trucks hauling men and sup plies. This lurnisnea an indication here thnt the Germans wore de pending in this sector on high way travel rather than by rail, although west of Kharkov they are supposed to have railroads in operation. The dispatches did not say how heavy the Gorman rein forcements were, but the nazls' continued assaults on the Rus sian lines both from the air and on land are perhaps as fur ious as anything they have at tempted in Russia since iney tried to take Stalingrad and Voronozh. New Smolensk Gains New gains in the drive for Smolensk were reported, with a red army column smashing westward along tha Vyazma Smolensk railway to seize more towns west of Izdeshkovo, 20 miles west of Vyazma, capture of which was announced last night.
