Two outspoken U. S. senators

aside.
"And," Nyo told a reporter,
"if he looks around cnougU,
ho'11 find Just that."
Senator Smith (D-S.C.) de

"Roosevelt won't win tho nom
ination even If ho should seek

think he'll be convinced of
that." ,

The offensive against the con

raids today by fleets of American-type
twin-engined bombers
which started shuttling across
the channel with the rising sun.
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

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.
William Franklin Behymcr
Tlppett, 23, was given five
years in the Oregon State peni
tentiary Saturday morning in
circuit court, after pleading
guilty to the charge of contrib
uting to the delinquency of a
minor.
The act involved a seven-year
old local girl.
Under questioning by Circuit
Judge David R. Vandenbcrg, it
was brought out that the de
fendant had previously served
14 months and 14 days in the
penitentiary at Chllicotte, O.,
for violation or the Dyer act
Tippctt said ho had . been re
leased from the United States
navy in January, 1942, as he
was subject to epileptic attacks.
Before passing sentence,
Judge Vandenbcrg said that his
only regret was that he could
give Tippctt only five years
under tho law.
Previously this week, the' de
fendant had waived preliminary
hearing and grand jury ' and
asked to appear directly before
the sentencing magistrate.

In the Belgorod area, at the
southern end of the active iront,
163 miles below Orel, the war
bulletin noted scouting engage
ments.
It said that yesterday in the
Orel and in the Orel-KursK sec
tors, 168 German tanks were
disabled or destroyed. One hun
dred and six enemy planes were
shot down in air combats and
by antiaircraft fire, it added.
MOSCOW. 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
Russians said they captured the
village. --

with the allies.
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.

and fragmentation bombs on the

(Filling in the picture of what
such an attack means is a de

Press War Correspondent -Leif
Erickson on Guadalcanal, from
whence fly the planes blasting

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

- Mr. Roosevelt explained that
the Taft amendment to the CCC
measure, which modified a ban
on grade labeling carried in the

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.

WHEN a street or a road is crowded, you can
see it. But you can't see when the Long Distance
lines are crowded.
So the operator will tell you when the circuit
you want is extra busy. Then she will ask you
to limit your Long Distance call to not more
than 5 minutes. '
" That will help others to get their calls
through, too. ' ' ' - '
Of course, there won't be congestion every

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.
