Other victims included Gen. Tadeusz Klimccki, 48. chief of the Polish general staff; Col. Andrzel Marecki, chief of tht operational section and expert in military science, who visited the United States twice the last time in December, 1942 and a British colonel, Victor Alexander Cazalet, who was a political liaison officer and sometimes served as an interpreter of Sik orski's public speeches. Other Victims Also in the plane were Col onel Gralewski, Lieutenant Pob iewski and a Mr. Julakowski. one of Sikorski's civilian aides. President Wladyslaw Reczie wicz immediately designated Deputy Premier Stanislaw Mik olajczyk, leader of the Polish peasant party, as acting premier, pending the selection of Sikor ski's successor. Gen. Marian Kukiel, Polish minister of defense, was placed in charge of Polish armies to succeed Sikorski in that ca pacity. Crashes in Flames - (The Berlin radio broadcast a transocean propaganda agency dispatch saying residents of La Linea, Spain, saw the plane crash in flames only 300 yards off shore. "Spanish eye-witnesses observed all four engines stalling for unknown reasons." said the broadcast, recorded by The' As sociated Press. It added that searchlights were used all night in attempts to rescue the occu pants of the plane. (Less than two hours after the accident was announced in Lon don, the Berlin radio used the death of General Sikorski as grist for its divlde-and-conquer propaganda mill. DNB quoted "Polish emigrant - circles in Stockholm" as saying the head of the Polish government-in-exile was "murdered" by British se cret service agents "because his dispute with Moscow was felt to be an extreme nuisance for British-soviet relations.")

He is in Klamath Valley hospital where his con dition was said to be satisfactory. Harry Young, riding in the mid-afternoon races, suffered a probable fracture of the ankle when his horse fell with him. Young had received a hurt an kle earlier in the day when his horse fell on the pavement. The animal fell twice at the post. Two heat prostration cases, which involved young boys on horseback, were reported during the day. Their names were not learned. Dr. George H. Adler, 'assisted by members of the Oregon Women's Ambulance corps, was on hand to take care of the in jured. Congress Nears Recess at Great Odds With President (Continued From Page One) additional $16,000,000,000 in rev enue largely has been ignored thus far and a modified version ol the Huml pay as you eo' plan, which he apparently signed reluctantly, has been enacted. Two of the president's major appointments those of Edward J. Flynn as minister to Australia and of James V. Allred, former lexas governor, to the circuit court of appeals failed to mate rialize. Flynn's appointment was withdrawn in the face of senate opposition, and Allred's nomina tion was pigeonholed by the senate judiciary committee. Independence Varied reasons are advanced for these clashes between the executive and 1 e g i si a t i v e branches, but Senator Van Nuys (D-Ind.) attributed most of them to a growing independence on the part of the lawmakers. Van Nuyg said he thought this tendency would be increased by the visit of the legislators to their homes, but Senator Pepper (D-Fla.) predicted that the peo ple will demand that legislators wno nave been opposing the president's domestic policies come forward with alternate n. I lutlons for home front problems.

VURA VILLAGE CAPTURED BT (Continued From Page One) que said our losses were "rela-! tively light. Commands Approach Vura village commands the approaches to Wickham anchor- age on the southern coast of Vangunu island. American planes and anti aircraft guns shot 21 planes out of two formations which attempted to. raid American positions on Rendova. Eighteen Japanese bombers, escorted by score of fighters, were pounced upon by a flight of Lockheed Lightnings before they reached their objective. Five bombers and four Zeroes were shot down without loss of a single American plane. Soon afterward 16 Japanese bombers, escorted by fighters, appeared over Rendova but anti-aircraft guns knocked down 12 of the bombers in a 30-minute battle. The others were driven off. Planet Against Munda General MacArthur sent tor pedo and dive bombers against Munda, the core of Japanese re sistance on New Georgia. The enemy camp sectors and harbor outposts were pounded with 1000 and 2000-pound bombs. All the attacking planes returned. Meanwhile, from Washington the navy announced nine heavy bombing raids on Japanese posi tions on Kiska island in the North Pacific. Hits were ob served on anti-aircraft positions, camp areas and on buildings. Weather conditions prevented observation of results of some of the raids. EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) Harry Woodring, speaking at his home town of Neodosha, Kansas. made a rather thoughtful and challenging one. He said our two-party system is at present wrongly aligned. Instead of Re publicans and Democrats, the alignment should be "constitu tional liberal conservatives vs. those radicals who wish to make America over." He called on voters of both parties to unite "in a great crus ade to restore America to its own people under a constitutional government." THIS writer, agreeing in prin ciple with Woodring, would put it a little differently . The alignment should be all those who are FOR THE COUN TRY vs. the demagogues and the self-seekers and the shallow pated thinkers who are for THEMSELVES first, last and all the time. JF this writer were starting out to found a new party in these days, this is the question he would ask prospective members: Are you FOR YOUR COUN TRY first, or are you FOR YOURSELF first? That question, if honestly answered, would come pretty close to separating the sheep from the goats. One of the Japanese favorite expressions is going to come in handy in due time "Very sorry!"

The half hundred charges made against FCC and Fly by the committee last week were denounced by the commission chairman as "the 50 vicious con clusions it (the committee) is going to arrive at come hell or high water." The Cox committee charges ranged from accusations of gen eral incompetency on the part of FCC to actual endangering of tne national security.
