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. ,

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."

That would be a typical Bal

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

ANYWAY, driving the politic

break for the Rumanians.

Still, it's at least interesting
to hear (from whatever source)

When the axis finally begins
to break up, that will be the

Shipbuilding Held
Help Shortage
Factor on Coast
SAN FRANCISCO, June 17
UP) Too great a concentration
of shipbuilding on the west
coast was blamed yesterday for
tho acute labor problem in tho
area by Rep. 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.

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.
