PAGE TWO HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON JAPS DEVELOP ISLAND BASES , DESPITE RAIDS ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN AUSTRALIA. June 17 UP) Degplte the destruction caused by 208 tons of allied bombs in eight recent raids, the Japanese persistently are building up their air might at Rabaul, New Brit ain, and Wewak, New Guinea, as well as in the northern Solo mons, This was disclosed today in a study of photographs taken of the airdromes by allied recon naissance planes. Rabaul's airdromes, particu larly the Lakunai field, have been pounded with 135 tons of bombs in four raids, starting a week ago. In each case, the re turning bomber crews reported large fires, some apparently burning planes. After the latest raid Tuesday, fliers on recon naissance came back saying they had noted repair activity at Lakunai. At Wewak, on the north coast of New Guinea, 450 miles north west of the allied base of Port Moresby, 74 tons of bombs have been dropped in four recent raids, the first on May 28 and the last on June 4, . The photographs showed oth er concentrations of enemy planes on Bougainville Island in the northern Solomons. In that general area yesterday, a Fly ing Fortress on a photographic mission was attacked by 15 Japanese Zeros, suffered five casualties among its crew, but got home safely. Today's communique 'told of a raid Tuesday night on Ken dart, Dutch Celebes, represent ing a flight of more than 1000 miles from Australia, in which allied planes dropped 16 tons of bombs among parked planes. Some fires started could be seen 90 miles away. For the second straight day, Japanese planes struck yester day at villages with emergency landing fields 90 miles north west of Lae, New Guinea. Six bombers and six fighters made the raid. , French Group In Agreement ALGIERS, June 17 W) Thir teen members of the French Na tional Liberation committee, with Gen.

Balkans in Spotlight In the European theater, while Rome and Berlin rang the changes on prospects of the zero hour approaching for an allied invasion, the spotlight shifted momentarily from Sicily, Sardinia and Italy to the east ern Mediterranean and the Bal kans. An Algiers broadcast reited that Turkey still neutral but re cently swinging toward the al lied camp, had broken off dip lomatic relations with the pro- nazi government of France. The Algiers report lacked im mediate confirmation, but Berlin asserted yesterday that Britain was "trying to bring Turkey in on her side." From other widespread sources came a flurry of re ports that major events were brewing in the Balkan-Middle East arena. A Moscow broadcast - said Ernest Maltenbrunner, chief of German security police, had been hurriedly sent to Rumania to re organize the police there.. An Ankara report yesterday said Rumania had sent out peace feelers to the allies. Cairo heard that Hungary was also preparing to abandon Hitler's "new order" if the neces sity arises. A Berlin broadcast acknow ledged that the allies had '.'one hope of possible attack in southeastern Europe," but as serted that "an invasion will prove a blood bath without pre cedent" and that two-thirds of the landing force will be wiped out even before a decisive battle has been joined."

No partition will be construct ed separating the two offices, but they will be marked off from each other by rows of filing cab inets across the room. Small offices along the inner wall will be mainly used by war price and rationing board mem bers. C. C.

THE Rome radio denies that ' Rumania is angling for peace, but says Ernest Maltenbrunner, head of the German "security" police, has been dispatched to Rumania to "reorganize" the Rumanian police. (Firing squads would probably be the method he would use for reorganization.) Moscow says the atmosphere in Bucharest (Rumanian capital) is very tense, with many of the country's prominent politicians in niaing. ANYWAY, driving the politic ians into hiding would be one break for the Rumanians. yOU'LL be wise if you keep vour finepr trnupH nn all these rumors. We don't know who is peddling them, or. for what purpose. Still, it's at least interesting to hear (from whatever source) that the rats are getting scared and thinking of deserting the axis ship. When the axis finally begins to break up, that will be the process.

J. L. O Leary (D- N.Y.), here for a hearing of tho house merchant marine commit' tee Investigating a reported "lag in shipbuilding." "There's too much shipbuild ing on the west coast," he said. "There's been a mistake some where, "What's going to happon to shipbuilding on the coast when offensive operations increase?" O'Leary asked George S. Roche, labor market analyst of the war manpower commission who test ified the manpower situation in northern California was "very critical." "Don't you think the answer Is to build shipyards somewhere else?" SHOOTING OF FIVE E CHESTER. Pa.. June 17 UP) The shooting of five workmen at the No. 4 yard of the Sun Ship building and Drydock corpora tion was under Investigation to day by the navy, the U. S. con ciliation service and the Dela ware county district attorney's office. The fourth naval district said In a statement that four guards, members of the coast guard tem porary reserve but paid by the company, were held In custody pending the Investigation. A man booked as Edward Abrams, negro of Wilmington, Del., was released on $3000 bail, mean while, on a charge of Inciting to riot. Police Chief Michael Drlscoll of nearby Kddystone. said the man was an organizer for the CIO Industrial union of Marine and Shipbuilding Workers of America. The navy did not make public the names of the guards but said they, like the men who were shot, are negroes. The navy's version of the oc currence, said by .the company's vice president, John G. Pew Jr., to be substantially correct, was that "several shots were fired" in a "melee when guards sought to remove a worker who lacked an identification badge." COUNTY FIRE DEAD Marlon Barnes of Olene was reappointed Klamath county fire warden by the county court this week. In making known the appoint ment, U. E. Reeder, county Judge, said that he wanted to stress, this year more than ever, the fact that anyone wanting to burn trash, weeds or grass must se cure a fire permit. These can be obtained by phoning or writing to Barnes, who will mall the per mit. Those who live within the city limits and wish fire permits can secure them by merely calling the fire department by phone at 5423, requesting a permit and giving a few particulars. Or, one can go down to the fire department on Broad and Wall streets and fill out a sim ple blank. DUST ii ! Si n 11 JAP PLANES LASTED OVER GUADALCANAL (Continued From Page One) from the skies, thereby laying American ground Installations open to a smothering assault. As it turned out the Japaneso had 28 planes definitely shot down and eight probably, Amer ican losses woro six planes and two pilots. Jap Purpose Vague The make-up of the enemy force In the Wednesday battle suggested that the Japanese had returned to their earlier tactics of fighters escorting bombers, after their Saturday thrust with fighters alone failed so com pletely. It was not clear, however, on the basis of available informa tion why the Japanese should be directing air forces of such considerable site and suffering losses at so great a rate Into the Guadalcanal area. One explanation widely men tioned In speculation here Is that' the Japanese believe Gua dalcanal will play an important role In the next big American push and are trying to disrupt operations there as much as pos sible, primarily as a defensive measure. (Continued From Page One) onika was reported already re called. CAIRO, June 17 UP) Increas ing resistance by opposition groups within axis satellite coun tries of southeastern Europe, a situation which nazl authorities apparently are handling with un usual liberality, was reported to day in Information reaching Cairo. Underground leaders In col laborationist Rumania and Bul garia are becoming more and more outspoken, it was said, and in Bulgaria, where many ele ments have strong ties with the soviet, there has been a resur gence of the old "Mother Russia" sentiment i The extent to which dlsaffo-t- ed groups In Rumania are per mitting themselves to give voice to their dissatisfaction was indi cated In a recent speech by Baron Manfred von Killinger, German minister to Bucharest.
