July 9. 1945 PAGE TWO HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON I GER TANKS POUND 5 AT (Continued From Page One) mans were said to be throwing fresh troops and new tanks Into the battle. Russian Defeniei The Russians also were bring ing up large numbers of 60-ton "KV" tanks to combat the mam moth German Tigers in a deadly struggle which already has reached history-making propor tions for the high German losses and spectacularly low gains. But as the German forces in the Orel-Kursk sector tried vain ly to imitate the example of their comrades at the Belgorod end, the Russian army news paper Red Star warned against underestimating the strength of the German armies. "Ersati Victory" The Germans continue to fight desperately because Hitler has to try to offer the people "if not a real victory at least an ersatz victory," Red Star said. "Germany can't wait. It is frightened by the offensive spirit of the red army and the war preparations of the United States nd England." Red Star, red army organ, re ported the powerful nazi tank columns had changed the direc tion of their attack several times in the Orel-Kursk sector seeking a weak point in deep Russian positions. In that northern seetion of the fiercely-blazing 200-mile battle line, the Russians said their troops regained lost ground in a succession of counter-attacks yesterday while holding firm against a mighty stab by some 90,000 nazi troops against one narrow area. The nazis returned to the at tack at 8 a. m. yesterday on the Orel-Kursk sector. On the narrow front where the 90,000 German forces were engaged, the battle had reached its peak by 2 p. m. The Pravda cor respondent said one unit,- how ever, withstood 13 subsequent attacks. The correspondent said that, protected by swarms of aircraft, the Germans threw 250 tanks against the Russians, But not a ingle one got through, he said.

' THIS newest fighting in Russia 1 follows familiar pattern. The Russians hold a wedge thrusting westward into the German lines from Kursk (seo your map) and the Germans are trying to bite off the wedge by hitting its base from two sides. They seem to be biting into something pretty tough. ""THE morale of the Russian armies in this fighting is described as high possibly higher than ever before. Even more important, the dispatches relate that Russian air power is at least EQUAL to the German. In most of the previous fight ing in Russia, the Germans have had clear superiority in the air. BECAUSE of -the excellence of the news, we mustn't jump to the conclusion that the war is won and that we can afford to coast from here on. But we are safe in feeling that things are going MUCH better for our side. Motion to Quash Short Indictment Heard Today (Continued From Page One) ing. Circuit Judge Latourette said that good cause had been shown why the case had not been brought to trial earlier. Members of the grand jury and several county officials, who had been subpoenaed as witnesses several days ago by the defense, appeared in court. Through questioning of these witnesses, the defense sought to bring out the fact that the grand, jury had been influenced by Circuit Judge David R. Vanden berg, also, that his name and that of John Reber were not on the indictment though both had appeared before the grand jury, and that the indictment should be quashed on these grounds. Ewauno Box Buys Buildings at Sprague River (Continued From Page One) officials said they would not start the Saddle Mountain work for another 30 .to 60 days and were not sure just how long operation, would continue in that area.

E TO BE ASKED OF L WASHINGTON. July 9 (P President Roosevelt gave a clear indication today that he has no intention of asking John L. Lewis to sign a new agreement with coal operators, as the mine union chief has been ordered to do by tho war labor board . What good would it do, Mr. Roosevelt asked at a press con ference, if he sent Lewis a note in longhand on pink paper ask ing him to please conform with the WLB order, and Lewis did not sign? Reporters informed the presi dent that the board apparently felt it needed "some govern mental reaffirmation" of its or der, presumably from him. After all, the chief executive remarked, that was action by a quasi-judicial body and speaks for itself. "What happens if Lewis does not conform?" a newsman in quired. The president shot back: What would you do?" "I don't know," his questioner responded. "I'm not president."

WASHINGTON, July 9 (p President Roosevelt said today that congress has a lot to do when it comes back in Septem ber. That was his only press con ference comment on the sum mer recess. He had no comment on the subsidy issue but ob served he might say something on it later. To a question whether he was in a position to comment on planning for employment after the war, Mr. Roosevelt said it was being studied and an effort was being made to get orderly procedure and policy for it.
