Dusk Raid Abbeville, Important French railway center, was the target for Amorican medium bombers which struck at dusk yesterday to leave great fires burning in that control point for all rail traffic to the north. The raid was made at the cost of one bomber and pro tectcd by a thick blanket of al lied fighters. Flying Fortresses had bombed Abbcyvllle in three previous as saults. FIRE COMBATTED BY SHASTA RESIDENTS Residents of suburban area believe In the "Keep Oregon Green ' policy, according to Ver non Moore, chairman of that project in Klamath county. It seems that a fire started in a field on Madison street Just off Shasta way about 7:30 o'clock Friday night, raced through a green wheat field and through adjoining acreage. Five neighbors ran to the scene to best down the flames and were Joined in a few moments by six others, armed with shovels. The men fell to, made a fire break and prevented the flames from burning into other fields. The wind was blowing from the west and fortunately the fire did not Jump the narrow Madl son street roadway, Moore was told. Before tha Klamath coun ty fire fighting equipment ar rived, the neighbors had the situ ation well in hand. Moore ex pressed appreciation to the men who saved acres of green wheat, homes and gardens in that sec tion by their cooperative action. Between seven and eight acres of wheat were blackened. "People do these things whan they really believe in 'Keeping Oregon Green,' Moora com mented.

July 17 m The German high . command has thrown two new divisions, one armored and one infantry, against the Russian spearhead now threatening Orel, front dis patches said today, but the red army was reported repulsing all nazi thrusts and continuing to advance. One wing of the red army s smashing counter attack was re ported to have rolled to within 25 miles of the heavily forti fied nazi base as the Germans frantically rallied all available manpower and equipment in a desperate effort to stave oil a major break-through. Within Range Soviet columns stabbing in from the north and east are within hoevy artillery range of Orel, dtsoatches said, but it was not disclosed whether bar rages had actually begun yet, They also could pound the Orel Bryansk railroad. (The German communique re ported that "fierce fighting of defense continued in the- Orel area" yesterday, and that soviet attacks were repulsed in the hard, fluctuating struggle with 251 Russian tanks destroy ,ed.) Mobilised Infantry The dispatches said the Rus sians were sending motorized in fantry with tanks and mobile cannon to comb the forest clearings for nazi troops. - One of the most stubborn battles took place around village on the west bank of an unidentified river not far from the Russian wedge in the Ger man line, it was reported.

The allied leaders' direct ap peal to the Italian people was made public in Italy late last night by the fascist news agen cy, after it had been broadcast re peatedly fn Italian yesterday by allied radio stations and scatter ed in pamphlets over a wide area from planes. A political writer for tha Ital ian news agency Stefanl answer ed that "feeble morals doesn't exist" but that the people re gretted the lack of arms with which to make the allies "pay a higher price in blood. 'If the allies want to batter Italy, they must do so with arms," he said. DIVE-BOMBERS LAY (Continued From Page One) have been made without tho communique bomb weights but always the raiders ara dive bombers and torpedo bombers, Today's communique crisply reported: "Our torpedo and dive bombers, in two strikes in close support of ground forces, drop ped 82 tons of high explosives and fragmentation bombs on the enemy positions in the Munda area." Picture Fillod la (Filling in the picture of what such an attack means is a de layed dispatch by Associated Press War Correspondent -Leif Erickson on Guadalcanal, from whence fly the planes blasting at Munda. He quoted pilots as saying the bombs are dropped from altitudes as low at 2500 feet by skilled pilots such as Lieut. George Gay, sole surviv or of the aircraft carrier Hor net's heroic torpedo squadron eight. It is selective bombing which sends pieces of an anti aircraft gun flying apart.) On northeast New Guinea. where Australian and American conquerors of Mubo now are moving against Komiatum, with in seven miles of their objective of Salamaua, Japanese air base, Douglas attacK planes bombed and strafed in support of the ground troops. The positions they raided were Ab Bobdubi, live miles below Salamaua. President Sigts -v--- Bill Extending CCC (Continued From Page One) allowed to set up standards in maximum price regulations. - Mr. Roosevelt explained that the Taft amendment to the CCC measure, which modified a ban on grade labeling carried in the war agency appropriations bill, raised a question in his mind. Congress dealt with OPA fixing of standards in both bills. The measure extends the CCC until January 1, raises its bor rowing power from $2,650,000, 000 to $3,000,000,000 and gives the president a free hand in re tail food price subsidies.

I Capture Lontinl Lentlnl Is about 15 miles be low Catania, the prize seaport and air base half way up the -east Sicilian coast, and Scordia is nine miles inland from Len tlnl. Rounding out the cadure of four rriore towns by the allies, the Canadians took Caltaglrone, , zu mues inland from the Ameri can bridgehead at Gela, and Grammichele, six miles to the east. With French goumlers. fierce knife and tommy gun wielding warriors from the Moroccan hills on their left flank, the Americans of Lieut. Gen. George S. Patton Jr., were believed to have emerged from the hilly ground that ringed their beach-'. heads and to have penetrated in land for perhaps 30 miles. Cut Into Haart The Canadians had cut into, the heart of the enemy's defense system in central Sicily by their capture of Caltagirone, about 28 ' miles due west of Montgomery's -forces at Lentini. The whole allied line In that sector had moved up almost abreast of Montgomery, and the new surge gave the allies pos session of a lateral east-west highway and a valley running east-west which will greatly fa cilitate the task of maintaining unbroken communications with the British eighth army. 30 Mile Retreat . The axis would now be forced back approximately 3Q miles, it seemed, before reaching the next major east-west road running through Caltanissetta, Enna and Gerbini to Catania. Fighting was still going on be tween Lentini and Catania, but Montgomery was believed to be very close to Catania harbor af ter engaging the Hermann Goer tag division since Wednesday morning. (A BBC broadcast from Algiers, recorded by CBS, said the eighth army "is less than six miles from Catania.") It was assumed also. that the capture of the nest of airfields in and around Gerbini, 12 miles southwest of Catania and at the edge of the Catania plain, was now threatened by British for ward elements. ; ' The British, however, were fighting their way across terrain which greatly favored the de fending forces. It is crisscrossed with waterways large and small and contains three large rivers which run at right angles to Montgomery's advance. (The London Daily Express said American and Canadian troops also were pouring onto the Catania plain from the Viz zini area, apparently threatening the Gerbini airfields jta an ad vance from the west which sup plemented ' the eighth army's push from the south.
