KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON July 10, 1048 ManJzeti; and fyinoHcicd PEACE STOCKS EDGE HIGHS; LEADERS STALL By VICTOR EUBANK NEW YORK, July 19 VP) Ex cept (or assorted peace stocks which edged into new high ground for the move, market leaders generally were notably 1 unresponsive today to the ex ceptionally cheering war news. Bonds were uneven. MeHlnm-nriperi oils led se lected Issues in a iraciionai ad vance at the start but most of these failed to follow through and, in relatively light dealings, near-closing Quotations were a trifle mixed. Transfers were around 900,000 shares. Tr.nV.il it v nf the list to in itmirnte a hullish DUSh in the wake of victories on virtually all battle fronts led some Wall Streeters to believe the recent price jump to best average levels in nearly four years may have discounted to a degree ai linH jtiiprfMSseiB. Stocks at peaks for 1943 or longer included Standard Oil (N.J.), Pure Oil, Ohio Oil Amnrinon TolenhfMie. U. S Lines and Caterpillar Tractor.

July 19 OP) Cov ering by traders who had prev iously sold short rallied wheat in the final minutes today, all contracts except July finishing with minor gains. Earlier the market had slumped on hedg ing pressure reflecting increased receipts at principal terminals. Oats and rye rallied from their lows along with the bread cereal but could not cancel all of earl ier losses. Selling from houses with northwestern connections depressed oats. The rye market was nervous throughout the ses sion and at one time was down more than 2 cents. At the close wheat was ic lower to Ic higher. July $1,441 $1.44), September $1,441-1, pats were unchanged to ic lower, July 691, and rye was 11-1 Ic low er, July $1051. SLIGHT DELAY CHAMBERSBURG, Pa., (VP) The prisoner Police Chief J. H. Dodson was bringing to town hoped to keep out of jail, but the chief's car broke down, he and his prisoner thumbed their way to the court house too late for the session, and the prisoner must wait a week in jail to make his plea at the next session.

Klamath Greeks Made Happy by Augusta Capture The Dalles Enters Dairy Business to Prevent Famine THE DALLES, July 19 (JP) Facing a milk famine as a result of two more dairy closures in the last 10 days, the city govern ment of The Dalles Saturday went into the dairy business in possible conflict with OPA poli cies. Following a public meeting held Friday afternoon at the city hall with a representative from the Portland OPA office in at tendance. Mayor George Stadcl man announced that the city had leased the Pines and Folwy Lakes dairies, which quit busi ness July 15 and July 10, re spectively. Lump payments will be made from city funds to two other dairies, the Riverview and Oak Valley, to enable them to remain in business, it was stated. Members of the Greek colony in Klamath Falls, watching with Interest the developments in the Mediterranean, were pleased to read of tho capture of Augusta, Sicilian east coast port, by lone Greek ship. Mrs. George Blanas of the Ar cade hotel, received the follow ing clipping from her brother, Gcorgo Kallopoulos of the Unit cd States navy. It was brought to The Herald and News by George Koines, 241 Hillside, whoso son is Jack Koines, also of the U, S. navy. "ABOARD AN ALLIED CRUISER OFF AUGUSTA A Greek destroyer captured Augus ta after a heavy naval bombard' ment. Tho town was evacuated and only one man of 17,000 pco plo was found in the city when tho first allies entered. It was just one afternoon's work yesterday for a cruiser squadron patrolling .between Syracuse and Augusta. Accurate Shooting Tho navy plastered the hill' side town of Mcdilli, eight miles southwest of Augusta, when the town threatened the west flank of our forces to the south. The roads were .bombarded in sup port of our tanks en route to the town. It was the most accurate shoot ing I have seen in my 19 months with the navy. The gunnery oi- ficcr would choose a target; then there would be a flash and a roar like a train going through a tun nel: then the target would crumple. The batteries were silenced lnv mediately. Destroyers Return Accompanied by two other de stroyers, the Greek destroyer re turned to the harbor and found only one man (of 17,000 persons) left. Once again a destroyer nao captured a Sicilian port, emulat ing the capture of Pozzallo yes terday. Troops and tanks later were reported at the outskirts of the town. Flra In Madillt With the other cruisers w had finished bombarding Medll li. which was covered with white smoke. We patroled outside Augusta with three minesweepers, wait ing to go In and prepare the channel for the bigger ships. At 1 o'clock our four-inch guns, pompoms, and Oerlikons blazed away and four Stukas were shot down as they, tried to bomb the cruiser. Spitfires tailed the Stu kas, whose bombs fell astern, the nearest 100 yards away, and la ter one other Stuka was report ed afire. Then came the report of a white flag flying at Cap St. Croce, north . of Augusta. A Greek destroyer steamed ashore and put out a boat which was fired on. The Greeks withdrew and every unit in our squadron pounded the battery positions In the town. Finally we watched our troops carriers flying north of Augusta, and later we saw a transport steam into the harbor and land troops. " Whole Coast Burning The coast of Sicily was burn ing all the way from Syracuse to Augusta and beyond there were orange fires from ammuni tion dumps, red fires from Medil li and black bursts from the na val bombardment mixed with white puffs from shore based 25 pounders creeping north. I also watched the port of Poz zallo fall to a lieutenant and a handful of men landed from ' a Nssl-Csta Company, Long Island City, N. Y.

Ad parently the Inhabitants, scared of the continuous patrol of war ships, asked to be allowed to surrender. A landing party met a group of people in the shade ot the famed medieval tower Toree Dol Comte Demodlca and re ceived their unconditional mr. render. In a few seconds the town was at peace again. Cyclists pedalled promenading nuns stood talking on street corners. In tho eve ning the Canadians arrived and signaled "Well done. Navy." ' Later we screamed shells over Fouallo toward Modica. enab ling our troops to capture that town. Stuka attacks were beaten off and then came the bombard ment and capture of Augusta fS DIFFER WITH PACIFIC FIGHT STORIES By The Associated Press Two Japanese imperial com- muniques, broadcast by the Tokio radio and recorded in New York by The Associated Press, asserted today that Japanese naval air units shot down 77 ai lied planes in three days last week while Japanese ground forces repulsed tank-supported thrusts ncor Munda on New Goorgia island. On July 17, the communinuo said, Japanese naval planes en gaged 167 allied planes which raided Buln on Bougainville island In the northern Solomons and shot down 58 of them while losing nine aircraft of their own. The allied communion from Gen. Douglas MacArthur's head quarters covering the action of July . 17 said seven Japanese ships had been sunk by U. S. bombers in the area of Buin and the nearby island of Falsi and that in a 20-mlnule aerial battle in the same sector 49 Japanese lighters were downed for the loss of six American planes. I no MacArthur bulletin listed a Japanese light cruiser, two de stroyers, a subchaser, tanker and two cargo ships as the vessels sunk. The Japanese communi que mentioned no naval losses.
