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.

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

agriculture may be included. On
Wednesday at 8 p. m. the Klam

units destroyed 988 tanks and
203 planes;
The midday communique re
ported an additional 152 tanks
were knocked out of the tight,
including a number of the new
60-ton Tiger tanks. 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.
