AIRLINE APPLIES (Continued From Page One) Chico, Bend, The Dalles and Portland. Word of the application reach ed here late Monday. Western, oldest existing air line in the nation, has served the west coast for almost two decades. Headquarters are in Los Angeles. Matter for Talk ' Just how CAB will look upon the application is a matter for discussion. Two other appllca tlons sought for this area, were turned down by CAB in August 1941. During the month of Oc tober, 1940, both United Airlines and Oregon-Airways sought en trance to the Klamath territory. United proposed a shuttle ser vice between Klamath Falls and Medford, and this CAB rejected. Oregon Airways was rejected fol lowing a hearing before CAB. The decisions were handed down almost a year later. The civil aeronautics board re quires a certificate, of conven ience and necessity which will prove that the lines are necessary to the public welfare and that the lines can operate at a profit. It was CAB's contention that neith er United nor Oregon Airways could meet the requirements. News to Chamber Western's announcement of an application was news to Klam ath county chamber of commerce officials. This is the first indi cation that Western was inter ested in this city. Robert O. Sproat, chairman of the chamber of commerce avia tion committee, said that "Klam ath Falls would welcome the service of Western Airlines as this community ha long been in need of such a connection by air with San Francisco and Port land." "Our chamber of commerce has maintained that only through service would be practicable to Klamath Falls, and our conten tion has been borne out in con ferences with government offi cials, Sproat stated Tuesday. ' Leo Dwerlkotte, executive vice president of Western Air, said the proposed route, in addition to giving Klamath Falls air con nections, would serve the Inland Empire of Oregon by air for the first time, as well as provide ad ditional service between the met ropolitan areas of San Francisco. Portland and Seattle. Recently CAB approved three additional schedules for West ern s 1402-mile route, including ram springs and San Bernar dino, two important war expan sion areas, and El Centro in southern California. Other cities on Westerns route are Long Beach, Calif., Las Vegas. Nev.. Salt Lake City, Pocatello, Ida., Butte, Helena. Cut Bank and Great Falls, Mont William A.

TROOPS J 0 NEAR AUGUSTA TAKEN (Continued From Page One) west slightly before Canadians drove in from the east, it was reported. Axis Regrouping Indications multiplied that axis tank columns were re grouping for a powerhouse blow at American positions at Gcla bay. Important enemy troop movements southward from the interior of the island were not ed by aerial reconnaissance. Palazzola is 20 miles west of Syracuse and its capture mark ed the farthest point of advance inland by the invading forces. Rogusa is 12 miles southwest of Palazzola. Both are prizes of great strategic value, being junctions for virtually all the main and secondary highways in southeastern Sicily. , Effects oi Loss Loss of the two cities will de prive defending axis forces of much of their mobility in their desperate efforts to head off the many-pronged allied offensive. Ragusa is in the mountains and gives the forces in possession clear control of the surrounding countryside. The capture of Augusta was preceded by a heavy bombard ment from allied warships, which stood off and lobbed high explosives into the town. Mine sweepers cleared sea approaches to it ' Details of the new landings near Catania were not given im mediately, but it was assumed they were made by unit of the veteran British eighth army which originally attacked that side of the island. Allied losses in the capture of Augusta were officially de scribed as slight Port and har bor installations were said to have been undamaged. General Taken General Achilles Da vet, eom mander of the 206th Italian coastal division, was the first ranking enemy officer to be captured since the invasion of Sicily began last Saturday. ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA, July 13 VP) It was disclosed today that enemy , tanks broke through American lines and penetrated to the beaches in a counterat tack in southern Sicily yester day before they were hurled back and forced to retreat. The American forces regroup ed and struck back savagely to seal the gap. A considerable number of enemy tanks were reported to have been knocked out. Nazi troops so far encoun tered were reported to have fought furiously in every en gagement in contrast to half hearted Italian opposition. Pour Italian lieutenant col onels walked into the allied lines and surrendered. Observers believed further enemy counterattacks against-1 the American lines were likely. Republicans Should Borrow Candidate, Says Senator Aiken WASHINGTON, July 13 UP) Senator Aiken (R-Vt.) suggested today that the republicans con sider "borrowing" a democrat. Senator Gillette of Iowa, as their candidate for the presidency. "If the party should see fit to nominate Senator Gillette," Aiken told an interviewer, "the rank and file of the people would have a candidate." Asserting he was not attempt ing to "nominate anyone" him self, he added that Gillette rep resented "the type of .man we should be looking for."

JT has been so far unwise even A to think about what will hap pen after the war because all our thinking has had to be con centrated on FIGHTING the war. So far as Europe Is con cerned, the time has come when it is safe to begin to do a littlo thinking about after the war problems. HTHE Pacific war . Is another matter entirely. In the Pa cific, we've been fighting with only one hand, devoting the bulk of our efforts to Europe. But even in the Pacific it is becoming possible to make some fairly de pendable guesses. It is beginning to seem prob able that the Jap has bitten oft all he want to try to swallow and that what he wants now Is to hold what he has instead of trying to bite off more. We've been puzzled by his relative inactivity. It now ap pears likely that behind the fighting fronts he has been fev erishly active organizing the em pire he has seized and preparing to defend it. One can now guess that the Jap's purpose la to make it so tough for us in Asia that after licking Hitler we ll tire of the fighting and make some sort of compromise that will enable the little yellow man to hold and CHEW a sizeable part of the mouthful he has bitten off. BUILDING LEASED (Continued From Page One) plant be In complete readiness by the first week of potato har vest Permanent Industry Field operators for Paulus Brothers, who left here Monday for Salem after completing ar rangement for the building, were heard to remark that the company hoped to remain here permanently when dehydrated products would probably be on the common market for general home consumption. At the pres ent time it is thought that the dehydrated foods will be used only for the armed forces It is estimated that 50 tons of potatoes will ge throughKthe. drying, pro cess each day of operation.' A number of improvements in the building must be made be fore it is ready for the dehydra tion process. It is probable that a large steam boiler will be in stalled as this is the method of heat used in dehydrating food stuffs. Council Gives Okay The city council, in session Monday night approved the es tablishment of the plant in Klamath Falls. Appearing before the council were Earl C. Rey nolds, secretary of the Klamath county chamber of commerce, and other chamber official in cluding President Vera Owen and Nicholas Long, head of the retail merchant trade bureau. Reynolds, spokesman for the three, asked permission for the plant He told the council that Paulus Brothers' payroll here would be in excess of $100,000 annually and that the plant would run about eight months out of the year, employing 100 people working in three shifts.

It was In daylight yesterday following this shelling that Avenger torpedo bombers and Dauntless dlvebombers added their bombloads to the 189 tons dropped on Munda the three pre vious days. Twenty Japanese Zeros came over Munda, in a sector where the enemy has lost some 200 planes since the Pacific drive opened June 30, and were driven off with a loss of five against one of ours. By The Associated Press A Japanese communique broadcast by the Tokyo radio to day reported that a flotilla of Japanese destroyers had sunk two American cruisers and set another afire in a battle north of Kotombangara island in the Solomons last night. One Japanese cruiser was damaged, said the broadcast, which was recorded by The As sociated Press.

Today, the Russians said, German forces on this sector have been considerably reduced in size and are being Used merely to con solidate their present positions. Belgorod Fight Acute But while the' Russian mid night communique reported that German attacks were somewhat weaker in the northern area around Orel, the soviet army newspaper Red Star said the struggle around Belgorod was daily becoming "more acute," with the nazis hurling wave after wave of 60-ton Tiger tanks into the fray in an attempt to widen a wedge they drove into the defenses last week. The Russian midnight com munique reported that the Ger mans had lost 122 tanks yester day, bringing the eight-day to tal to 2623. The Russian said they shot down 58 nazl planes yesterday, making 1126 brought down either In air combat or by anti-aircraft since Von Kluge launched his offensive.
