PAGE TWO FLYING FORTS LEAD ATHGK (Continued From Page One) cata and Catania in Sicily and VillaCidro in Sardinia all of them bases for the defending axis aerial fleets. More than 60 Liberator bombers based in the Middle East joined in the devastating raids, shaking Messina in Sicily with nearly 375,000 pounds of bombs, a communique of the U. S. ninth air force declared. Ferry Hit Hits blanketing the ferry ter minal installations in Messina "caused extensive damage," the communique said, and bombs were laid on railway tracks, a roundhouse, a warehouse, freight yards, oil tanks and bar racks by the Liberators strik ing in three waves. One string of bombs "fell across the Laz aretto mole." The Liberators downed three enemy planes and returned without loss themselves. Flying Fortresses striking at Gerbini won what is considered one of the greatest1 single-mission victories of the entire Med iterranean campaign by knock ing down 30 out of more than 100 German fighters attacking them. Individual Score One of the greatest individual victories emerged, too, when Staff Sgt. Benjamin Warmer of San Francisco destroyed (even fighters. Despite the spectacular and Aamlnfflv oiiiridal tactics of the Germans, the Fortresses success fully reached and bombed Ger bini, where they showered ex plosives over the main airfield and nine satellite fields. Less than 30 of the big four engined craft participated in the raid. Outnumbered about four to one, they shot down an average of one enemy plane apiece and destroyed an esti mated 25 more parked on the ground.

A formation of about 30 of our Flying Fortresses ran into 100 axis fighter planes which are described in the dispatches as using seemingly suicidal tactics in a determined effort to stop us, and shot down 30 of them. Much stronger enemy air forces are being reported in Sicily, indicating the Germans may be rushing more air strength into the Mediterranean. BRITISH commandos hit Crete in a sudden fierce raid thtit is probably designed to gather information about the German defenses there. They finish their job and promptly pull out. The British radio advises the Greeks that it ISNT an invasion that "the day is coming when the signal will be given, but un til then stay in your places." ... , rN the ever turbulent Wash- ington front, the Wallace Jones ruckus gets hotter by the hour. Wallace has been verbally sniping Jones, and Jones comes back today with a 7500-word scorcher. The general tone of the con troversy reminds one of the story about the Israelitish mer chant who was looking over a "polite" collection letter his cashier had written to a slow customer and offered the opin ion that it was nice and court eous, as it should be, "but you ought to know better than to spell skunk with an 'o.' " ... TF these fiery Washington boys could just be sent to the. Sol omons and would fight the Japs as hard as they fight EACH OTHER, it .would be fine. Osborne Reports On Seed Potato Ceiling Conference (Continued From Page One) that he expected a larger acreage of seed put in next year, sur passing this year's planting by far. Included in figures presented at the Denver gathering were these: It costs $2.07 a sack for seed and that is broken down into 36 cents for harvest, 48 cents for packing and in addition there are other incidentals involved in cluding a $5 per acre charge for certification. This compares to $1.88 which is the cost for com mercial grades. : Labor Situation The labor situation also came up for discussion and members argued whether or not to form a separate organization to sponsor importation of Mexican labor or to let growers handle the prob lem themselves. It was finally voted to let the situation stand as originally planned and grow ers will take care of this ques tion. There is a meeting of the Klamath Potato Growers associ ation slated for tonight, Tuesday, at 8 o'clock in Henley and at this time it is planned to re organize and the name, Klamath Growers, will probably be adopt ed in order that all phases of agriculture may be included. On Wednesday at 8 p. m. the Klam ath Growers and Tulelake Grow ers will meet in the agricultural office in Tulelake to set wage scales for the season. This will embrace all forms of farm labor in the basin. Representatives of the Klamath Labor Union and also W. T. Geurta, head of the labor relations committee of the farm security administration of fice in Portland, will attend. TWO YEAR WAR CHUNGKING.

Dangerous Although the Japanese air force has suffered extremely heavy blows the last three weeks, it was believed still capable of producing a strong kick with several hundred planes based in the Solomons and mnr whinh can be flown step by step from other bases and from Japan it self.

In one sec tor alone in the Orcl-Kursk area the bullotin said, soviet troops destroyed 50 out of a German unit of 100 tanks. The commun ique also reported 4000 Germans had been slain in this area and 2000 more in one sector of the Belgorod front. Aims Vague Military experts said it whs too early yet to speculate wheth er Hitler aims to try to capture Moscow to the north, the Cau casian oil field to the south, or both. Orel, at the northern end of the 165-mile central front, is about 200 miles, south of Mos cow. Kursk is halfway between Orel and Belgorod, the southern terminus which lies about 250 miles northwest of Rostov, Rus sian-held gateway to the Cau casus. Only three miles from Kursk, important commercial city held by the Russians, the armies are fighting over the river system of the Dnieper. The entire central front is a region of fields and forests, endowed ' with good black earth. Hundreds of lum bering tanks already have flat tened many fields of ripening grain. Reds Confident The Russian people feel that this is the last great test for the red army. They are confident but soberly aware of the great effort involved. . (The German communique re ported heavy fighting in the Belgorod and Kursk areas and declared it grew out of "a suc cessful local attack by German infantry" in the Belgorod sector followed by "strong soviet coun terattacks. (The fighting has spread to the area north of Kursk and is "as suming ever greater violence," said the communique broadcast by Berlin and recorded by The Associated Press.) (A later Berlin broadcast de nied that the Germans had launched a large-scale offensive and declared that reports that the goal of this operation was the occupation of Moscow were nonsensical.) In the Orel-Kursk sector, the Russians said, 100 tanks broke through their defenses, but so viet infantry barred the way to oncoming nazi foot troops while artillery in the rear shelled the tanks. The Germans reported to have swung around on clanking caterpillar treads and rolled into swift retreat after 38 of the 100 tank-were damaged. The Russians admitted the Germans succeeded in occupying two settlements in one sector of the Belgorod front but said they were dislodged by counter-at tacks and retreated, leaving nun dreds of dead on the battlefield.
