TOTALS CASUALTIES IN ALL THEATRES WASHINGTON, June 24 (Pt United State armed forces have suffered 87,304 announced casu alties in all war theaters to date. Of that number 15,132 were killed in action or died of wounds. Army casualties total 63,658. War Secretary Stimson said, and the navy's latest list, also issued today, placed navy, marine corps and coast guard losses at 23.346. with 7604 dead, 4732 wounded and 11,010 missing. The lull in recent fighting has permitted the army to complete a tabulation of its casualty re ports. Stimson told his press conference, disclosing that the army has lost 7528 men who were killed in action or died of wounds, 17.128 wounded. 22,687 missing, and 16,615 officially re ported prisoners of the Japanese, the Germans or the Italians. "While our casualties have been heavy," said the secretary, "it is certain that in practically all theaters of war in which our troops have been engaged, the enemy's losses have been much greater than our own." He added, however, that future military operations are likely to involve much greater numbers of our troops and that cor respondingly heavier casualties should be expected. Thus far, Stimson said, the de fensive campaign In the Philip pines remains the most costly in casualties. The total. Including the Philippine scouts but not the Philippines constabulary or the commonwealth army, is 31.610. ; Most of these are presumed to be prisoners, he said, and many have been go reported officially. News of the Commandos So many, many fine letters have been received by the hos tesses who have taken our wounded service men as guests In their homes during the visits of the different groups of boys coming to Klamath Falls for the past four months. , It was a great thrill for Mr, and Mrs. Leslie Rogers, when they received the following let ter from the mother of one of their marine guests. It reads: "I have wanted to write you and tell you how much we ap preciate your kindness to our son, Jerry. We did not have your name and address until yester day. We received a clipping from The Herald and News, in a round about way, I guess you would say. The clipping was sent to a man in Pittsburgh, Pa., by a friend In Oregon. He saw Jerry's name and from Sister- ville. He then sent it to a friend in Sisterville (president of one , of our banks). He (Mr. Neuen- schwander) sent it out to us. And your address was in it. So please, kind folks, believe us when I say we do not know how to express our thanks to you. Do .hope you soon can have your sons home with you. We have not seen Jerry for 19 months so you know just about how we feel. The nearer tune comes for him to come seem twice as long. We read and heard so much about other boys near us, we often wondered if anyone would be so nice to our darling. Will you give our regards to Mrs. Sermys and her fine lot of swell girls, if not too much trouble? We were so proud of the nice letter from them. It certainly gave us a lift. Pray, they can continue this fine work. It's been, I believe, as great a Sign at No. 10 lib Entering the famous abode of British prime ministers at No. 19 Downing street, Winston Churchill responds to salutations ox passersby with a familiar sign. ; Last Stop, Tokyo SOVIET KVU '.

Do hope you are not suffering from the heat as we are here. I have a friend in Grants Pass, Ore., and she tells me you are having hot weather too. In closing, Mrs. Rogers, we do pray for good luck to you and your family and the safe return of your fine boys. Again our sincere thanks to you and Mr. Rogers. Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Irwin." The following are paragraphs taken from a letter received by Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Hubble, who had two of the wounded soldiers here during April, as guests-in their home. In part: 'I suppose all the Commandos are still doing their 'all' for the boys. They're a fine bunch of girls and they do good work. There is a fellow here that was telling me of a time when he was in a convoy passing through your town. He said there wasn't anything the people wouldn t do for them. Your little town will be pretty famous before this war is over. "The last group of boys the girls had were quite seriously wounded. Those marines sure took it on the chin over there. They deserve a lot of credit and so do the girls for taking the good care of them. Those girls do a wonderful job for service men. You know, I often think of how lucky I was and if I'll be as lucky the next time. It's pretty hard for the boys to get around when they're stuck in a hospital. Yes, those girls are alright and its an organization anyone can be proud of. "Remember me to your family and to any of the Commandos you may see. May God bless you all." Sincerely yours, Scotty. t We sincerely hope that each and every one of you will help us to carry on in our effort to bring more and more wounded service men to Klamath Falls. Your purchase of a ticket to the Queen s Dance to be held Sat urday, June 26, at the armory will go a long way as a very helpful service to our organiza tion. These tickets can be pur chased from any Commando or at the Commando Service Cen ter, 819 Main street We need your help! Advertising Men Stress Importance To War Effort SAN FRANCISCO, June 24 VP) Advertising leaders are trying to impress the war manpower com mission with the idea that ad vertising is important, "if not in dispensable, " to the war effort and to civilian needs. That was the message of John Benson, president of the Amer ican. Association of Advertising Agencies, to the Pacific Coast Advertising association yester day. YOU CAD, SIR! LOS ANGELES, (P) "You In my opinion are the worst bunch of crooks on the coast," said a postcard received yesterday by H. M. Katz, owner of a gold buying agency. The writer said one lot of sup posed gold he'd obtained from the Katz agency, bearing a $90 price tag, was worth only $4. For reasons of my own I wish to remain anonymous," he added. Katz and the police depart ment explained: "The man had stolen brass which Katz had sub stituted for gold, as a precau tion, in his show window. - MEN AND WOMEN IN SERVICE Lieutenant Benjamin Horsley, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe L.
