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.
Support was accoraea uooancn
Mnniffflmnrv WnrH Western Un

were U. S. Steel, Bethienem,

WHEAT
CHICAGO. 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.

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

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.
