PAGE TWO BOMBERS RAIN EXPLOSIVES ON SOUJWILY (Continued From Page One) 285,000 pounds of high explosive and fragmentation bombs on Gerbinl. One enemy fighter was reported destroyed and two damaged while every Liberator returned safely. Flying Fortresses from this base struck shortly after dawn and reported hits on an ammuni tion dump, administration build ings, hangars and five landing strips. Five planes of the north west African force were reported missing from the day's opera tions, against two enemy aircraft destroyed. Fires Started During Monday night RAF Wellingtons hammered at Ger bini, starting five fires, while Biscarl and Milo airfields were assaulted by other bombers. The same night heavy British bomb ers of the Middle East command pounded railway installations at Catania, eastern Sicilian port. Axis fighter opposition which reached a crescendo Monday, when more than 100 war planes attacked a single formation of 27 Flying Fortresses, dwindled yesterday to almost nothing, re turning pilots reported. The fourth day of the concentrated attack on Sicily's airfields from here saw the score stand at 110 axis craft destroyed against an allied loss of 19.

First Your country, if it is to win this war, must raise the money necessary to purchase supplies. This can be done eith er through taxes or, preferably, through voluntary investment in government bonds. The more you invest, the less will have to be raised through taxes. Second If we spend our ex cess income for the comparative- EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) trench that was just a little longer than I was and about two seconds later another guy landed on top of me. I said to him: 'Say, bud, you'd better hunt yourself another hole. You are sticking up about four inch es and you're likely to get hurt.' "He was panting and I could feel his heart pounding against my back. He says: 'Oh no, please let me stay here.' I says to him: 'It's OK by me bud, if that's what you want.' Boy, did he feel swell there ON TOP of me! "The Jap bombs dropped all around us, but nobody got hurt." ANOTHER one, from a wound- "I got mine from a shell from a Jap mortar that filled me full of splinters and hit me hard above the eye. They carried me back to the field hospital and started picking the shell splint ers out of me. They weren't using an anaesthetic, and I was cussing them. I didn't mean to do it. It was kind of like I was another guy standing off to one side. He'd keep cussing the doc tors and I'd seem to try to shut him off. "They told me: We've got to operate on your eye tomorrow and we can't keep you all filled up with hop.' So they went on picking out the splinters and I went on hollering, trying my damndest not -to but all the time it was the guy standing off to one side that was doing the hollering and I was trying to shut him up. "Really, those doctors down there are wonderful as gentle as your own mother and work ing till they dropped to keep us taken care of." Gilchrist Mill Back to Work; -Walkout Settled ' (Continued From Page One) tion. The union contract pro vides one week vacation. Tutt said the mill would oper ate on a two-shift basis, utilizing all available man and woman power, paying women the same wages as men for identical work. Where labor shortages exist both the union (a CIO local) and man agement agreed on overtime for men required to work double shifts to keep the plant produc ing. The mill went down last week. Unionists claimed the manage ment was not paying women wages equal to those paid men for similar work, as the contract provided. The mill then an nounced reduction to one 10' hour shift which met with labor opposition because it forced de motion of many workers in skilled categories. Baker Boys Still Unconscious After Motorcycle Crash Word last heard from Jose phine hospital in Grants Pass about the condition of Donald and Carl Baker, injured in a motorcycle accident near the valley city on Monday, is that they are both still unconscious. Donald Baker's wife, the for mer Hazel Howard, has gone to Grants Pass to be with her husband. The boys are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace W. Baker of Selma, formerly of Klamath Falls. Both of them suffered severe head injuries. LAST 2 DAYS UIH3Hlj) II Contimiout from 1 iM p.m, uavsaBBMBseins. 2nd Act Fitur ly few civilian goods and serv ices available to us, instead of investing in bonds, the result might easily be INFLATION. Our money would then be worth LESS. On the other hand, if we spend the major portion of our income, above actual ex penses, in bonds, the cost of living can be kept within bounds. Third The more we save NOW, the more we'll have after the war, for emergencies, for education and travel, for a new automobile or the new home you've dreamed of, for retire ment, sudden illness or old age. Fourth Told in eight short words, "They give their lives, you lend your dollars." We at home must do our part, too. Bear in mind always that you are not being asked to GIVE, but simply to LEND to your country in its time of greatest need. Let's fight the enemy! Let's be patient and considerate, keep smiling and carry on, not forget ting for one instant that we've got a war to win! The Klamath Falls Soropti mists and the Business and Pro fessional Women, working to gether, are carrying the load of the July bond drive, but they are depending upon the people of Klamath county to help them reach the goal of $300,000 to pur chase that amount in bombs. Dance Ruling Discussed at Council Meet (Continued From Page One) it was decided that this was a matter for the League of Oregon Cities to present. A contract leasing the airport to the army, which was prepared earlier, was returned to the council unsigned last night, since the army did not need the air port facilities here. The airport committee reported that L. W. Soukup would be retained as manager of the airport on a month to month basis because of unsettled conditions. A recommendation by Coun cilman A. H. Bussman that a no parking sign be placed at Hatt er's loading door and that the door be kept clear until 9 or 10 p. m., was referred to the city engineer. Samuel Oliver Wounded While In Navy Action (Continued From Page One) portation department of Swan Island shipyards in Portland. The message stated that "the department appreciates your great anxiety but the extent of wounds are not now available and delay in receipt of details must necessarily be expected. To prevent possible aid to our enemies, we do not divulge the name of his ship or station." The message was signed by Rear Admiral Randall Jacobs, chief of naval personnel.

KLAMATH FALLS, QREGON SENATE BUTTLES (Continued From rage One) late yesterday, over the loud lamentations of administration lieutenants, for subsidy restric tions similar to those which drew a vigorous veto from Pres ident Roosevelt only last Fri day. The bill as it went to confer ence would continue CCC until January 1, 1944 and increase its lending authority from $2,630.- 000.000 to $3,000,000,000, but that was virtually a side issue. Prevision Gone Gone were administration- sanctioned provisions which would have authorized a six months rollback expenditure up to $525,000,000 and clamped ceilings on existing subsidy pay ments to stimulate production of essential crops, import es sential commodities, increase output of war minerals and com pensate for war transportation losses. The bill now would Invalidate the present subsidy-rollback on retail prices of meats and butter. Lawmakers disagreed scler al ly on what final form it would take after the house-senate con ference committee finished with it. But most agreed on one thing: That if it retains the anti subsidy provisions the president will veto it again. One-Time' Policeman Confesses Knocking Girl Into River (Continued From Page One) said he would be returned to Hillsboro until Polk county au thorities can make formal ap plication for his release for trial. No formal charge has been filed yet. After the girl's body was re covered, investigators located her blood-stained clothing on the river bank nearby. An au topsy by Dr. Joseph Beeman of the state police crime labora tory showed that she had been raped but that she apparently was not dead when tossed into the river. Death, he said, was caused by drowning. Parents Divorced The girl was the daughter of Able Hildebrand of Woodburn and Mrs. Martha F. Hildebrand of Dallas. The parents are di vorced. Layton told Gurdane that he had picked the girl up at the Monmouth bus depot and was driving her to Dallas. Gurdane said he admitted striking her and knocking her into the river. Layton said he could not swim and was afraid to attempt a res cue in the dark, Gurdane re ported. House Stands Firm for No Crop Insurance (Continued From Page One) gram on the ground it cost more than it was worth. The senate bowed t o the house position when It passed the regular agriculture depart ment bill with a house proviso allowing only $3,500,000 to liquidate the insurance program.
