'II. 5. 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

the boys.
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

ter, 819 Main street
We need your help!

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.
