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

strips. Five planes of the north
west African force were reported
missing from the day's opera

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

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.

Future of Country Hangs
On Ability to Buy Bonds
Br ROSE POOLE
Soroptimist Club President
There are four GOOD reasons
for buying bonds reasons that
Involve our future as well as to
day. 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-

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."

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

opposition because it forced de

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

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

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.

the army did not need the air

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.

After the girl's body was re
