Churchill told the house of conv
mons In London that British ar
mor had reached open country
yesterday after taking all the
key positions In the Wadi el Aka
rit line, and that Rommel was
retreating northward with Mont
gomery, in "hot pursuit."
Prisoners Taken
(Six thousand axis prisoners
had been captured, he said, after
an artillery preparation from
800 guns, a concentration about
equal to that which opened the
El Alameln battle in Egypt last
October.)
(The Algiers radio, In a broad
cast recorded in London, said to
night that the eighth army was
continuing to advance with tanks
and armored cars screening
waves of infantry.
Comments Refused
(The German radio in a broad
cast heard by The Associated
Press, said competent military
quarters refused to make fore
casts on the battle which was
said to be In "full swing." Ger
man commentators pointed out,
however, that Gen. Sir Bernard
L. Montgomery had never gone
into action until he was sure of
sufficient superiority in men and
material.)
The Americans, attacking 40
miles to the west in an effort to
link hands with Gen. Sir Ber
nard L. Montgomery's warriors
and also to threaten Rommel's
rear, launched heavy new at
tacks. .
Desperate Try
They tried desperately to dis
lodge entrenched German forces
from their formidable artillery
positions and strong lines of ma
chinegun nests planted in the
rocks of Djebel Kreroun, nine
miles east of El Guetar.
Latest reports- said they had
advanced after previous failures.
Dispatches from the front said
that the American tanks went
forward about five-eighths' of a
mile yesterday and that the In
fantry continued its dogged push
through the hills.. Thirty Ital
ians were taken prisoner.
Thoughtful Thieves
Even Leave Gas in
Peterson's Car
. Thieves who stole County
School Superintendent Fred
Peterson's, car in Salem last
weekend were kind enough to
drive it carefully.
Unable to find an Inside park
ing place in Salem, the school
chief parked the car on the
street and removed the keys.,
wnen ne went oacK lor tne car,
it was gone.
He telephoned the police, and
before long they notified him
the car had been recovered in
Portland. It showed no signs of
mistreatment, when Peterson ar
rived in Portland on an un
scheduled bus trip to claim the
machine. The thoughtful thieves
had even left some gas in the
tank.

JURY SELECTED IN
1DWERJ3' TBI
(Continued From Page One)
85-year-old bailiff, D. S. Smith,
to hold' witnesses in an ante
room. Lomax gave no reason for his
request, nor did he indicate how
long he wanted witnesses ex
cluded from the trial room.
The first two jurors to be ex
amined were dismissed, one man
because he said he was an em
ploye of the Southern Pacific,
a second because he said he was
not open minded.
The small courtroom, seating
180, was jammed with 200 in
cluding the jury panel. How
ever, Ensign James and Wilbur
G. Brinson of Norfolk, husband
and father of the victim, were
not present. Both were regist
ered at a local hotel.
Sisemora Retained
Brinson's name was precipi
tated into the trial early when
Lomax asked the court if an or
der had been signed appointing
L. Orth Sisemore, district at
torney of Klamath county, Ore.,
as assistant prosecutor. The
judge said he had signed no such
order.
Lomax turned to Sisemore,
seated beside Prosecutor Wein
rick. and asked "by whom were
you retained?"
Judge Jewelling told Sisemore
to answer.
"By Brinson," Sisemore said.
Sisemore first figured in the
case when he aided in investi
gations the afternoon of January
23, when the train was side
tracked in Klamath Falls, last
stop north of the California line.

which is more than one-fourth
of the $4,000,000 Klamath basin
people have invested In war and
government bonds since the
emergency arose.
Gravely describing the serious
ness of the country's position In
the war-ridden world, Sammons
declared:
"We have not won this war
yet not by a jugful."
He compared the country's
danger with that which existed
when Lincoln paced the White
House floor at the darkest per
iod in the Civil war.
"Don't Depend on Banks"
The country's quota for the
April drive is $13 billion, and
Oregon's quota is $100 million.
Sammons pointed out that the
Oregon figure represents $100
for every man, woman and child
in the state, and said the treasury
department wants average pur
chases of $50 exclusive of those
made by the country's banks.
Sammons spoke off the rec
ord in emphasizing the gigantic
job ahead of the nation in win
ning the war, and pointed out
that men on the battle fronts
and on the sea must have the
support of "soldiers on the fi
nancial front" at home.
"It's a big job, but I know we
can do it," said the state drive
chairman, who is just back from
a trip to Washington.
Attending the luncheon were
approximately 80 interested local
people representing labor, bus
iness, agriculture, and the pro
fessions. Each person present
was asked to act as a committee
man in carrying out the war
finance campaign.

SHARP FIGHT

east of Kharkov.
The Germans' newest attacks
south of Iryuni against a snviot
bridgehead were announced to
have cost thorn more than 500
dead and one of their front lines.
No Surprise
Again as In previous days, the
Russians said, the army forces
did not give way to surprise at
tacks but hold tognther and
shifted strength quickly to the
sectors under greatest pressure.
(The German high command,
In Its Wednesday communique
broadcast by the Berlin radio and
recorded by The Associated
Press, said a German "offensive
enterprise" In the central Donets
region "reached the planned goal
notwithstanding tenacious enemy
resistance."
("In the course of a successful
assault In the northern sector of
the front," It added, "shock
troops of a Spanish volunteer
division blew up 14 Bunkors and
returned with prisoners.")
Russian dispatches said the
German air force was operating
In considerable strength up and
down the Donets, but was losing
heavily under attacks by Rus
sian flghtor planes and anti
aircraft batteries.
