THE STATE OF OREGON, Plaintiff, MAE K. SHORT, Defendant, The grand jury of Klamath county brought in three Indict ments against the defendant, county clerk of said county, charging her with willfully, knowingly and feloniously re ceiving -from said county for an official duty a compensation other than, that authorized and permitted by law. Two of them were based upon the proposi tion that the defendant received $30.00. and $29.00 respectively as additional compensation over and above her salary for extra election work, while the other one was predicated on the fact that she received the sum of gSO.OO aa -additional compensa tion in addition to her salary for overtime, work keeping a record of the dog licenses for Use dog commission; At the hearing on motions to dismiss the indictments evidence. was adduced and at the conclu sion of the hearing a stipulation was entered into between the plaintiff and the defendant herein. It was agreed that the services mentioned in each of - the three indictments were ac tually rendered by the defen dant for Klamath county, as over-time and outside of the statutory fixed office hours of Ik U -I I . t .1 i . mjv euu uaBoosni ioa Ulafc gat submitted claims for said mounts to the county court of said Klamath county, Oregon. which claims -were approved by Ve county court, and which toproval was entered in the furnal of said court and that Thereupon, upon warrants being issued, defendant received the monies represented by said war rants. It was further stipulated that the court might pass on the facts stipulated to determine whether or not;crimes had been committed by the defendant and that if the court should deter mine no crimes, had been com mitted, said indictments should be dismissed with prejudice. Turning to the two indict . ments on compensation for elec tion over-time, we need only to look to sec. Bl-zos o. C. L. A 1940, which reads in part, "and each county court shall audit and pay out of the county treas ury such fees as the services performed by the county clerk and sheriff, under this act, (elections code) are in the judg ment of the county court rea sonably worth,"' to find warrant for the actions of the defendant in the premises. Under this stat utory provision, the defendant having performed services in connection with elections and having submitted- ber claim to the county court and the county court having rendered judgment tnat the sums were reasonably worth the amounts granted no crime was committed by the de fendant in receiving the monies represented by said claims. As to the Indictment for re ceiving compensation for over time in connection with dog li censes the indictment charges the defendant with unlawfully receiving compensation "for over-time work in keeping a record of said dog licenses for the dog commission," whereas the stipulation, and the evidence adduced at the hearing conclu sively shows that the defendant . waa annntntpH rritjirv rf th dog commission by the dog com missioners and that the' compen sation' she received, ' to-wit: $80.00, covered her services' as such secretary, and since such services were outside of and not part of her official duties as county clerk, under the au thority of Mousseau vs. Carey, 252 Fac, 324 (Calif.), she had a legal right to receive such sum and did not violate the law in so doing. Finding that the defendant has not violated the law in re spect to the three Indictments, or either of them, the same Will be dismissed with prejudice. , Dated this 27th day of July, EARL C. LATOURETTE, Judge. W. Adv.-Mae K. Short. ting In reinforcements, and it was. disclosed that "the bulk of two Italian field divisions" had escaped into the bridgehead from the west. This appeared to trim down previous official estimates that 110.000 axis sold iers had been trapped since the start of the campaign. "Over 70,000" was the last official count of prisoners. Front dispatches said the Germans were completely in charg of the strong Etna line running from San Stefano to Nicosia, Agira, Catenanuova to the Dlttaino river and had put Italian survivors of two field divisions which escaped the American encirclement of west ern Sicily to digging trenches and preparing road blocks. Sandwich Italians The same report, however, said that "political developments do not appear yet to have inter fered with the German habit of sandwiching Italians in at the firing line." It is believed that only a small number of Italians actually con tinued as combat troops. The Canadians driving north-' west through difficult country were meeting strong opposition and engaged in bitter fighting, todays communique declared. More prisoners have been taken, it added, without specify ing the number. Explore Line The British at the outskirts of Catania sent patrols exploring the German line, but there was no sign when Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery might launch a powerful new offensive. American pressure along the north coast obviously was mounting against newly estab lished German positions. The communique itself had "nothing to report" from this seventh army sector. Flying Fortresses again spear headed the steady allied air of fensive against southeastern Italy and Sicily, bombing Capua airfield north of Nades for the first time and destroying three ot la to go enemy interceptors.

July 28 WV- Around 15,000 Japanese men, women and children will be moved to the Tulelake reloca tion camp in northern California in September, Dillon S. Myer, war relocation authority direc tor, said last night. Myer attended a conference here of WRA - representatives from the ten relocation camps for persons of Japanese rescent. Three groups of aliens and first and second-generation Japanese-Americans will be placed at Tulelake, Myer said. First, those who have requested re patriation to Japan (Myer esti mated these and their families at around 6300); the persons who have refused or qualified their allegiance to the United States; and - those designated as dis loyal by intelligence records and investigations. Klebel Release from Tulelake can be obtained only through an appeal to a special board appointed by the WRA to hear such cases, or if transportation can be ar ranged, some will be deported to Japan, Myer said. The "KiebeL" those who have been educated in Japan, make up the . largest group of Jap anese-Americans who will be sent to Tulelake. "These are more Japanese, in culture than many of the aliens who have lived over here for 30 or. 40 years but were not al lowed to become citizens," Myer said. - . .Outside Canters More- than one-third of the Japanese-Americans have been employed outside the relocation centers, Myers said. The "Nisei" and "Sense!," first and second- generation American citizens of Japanese descent, number 83 per cent of persons in the re location centers, he explained. ine largest number of former relocation center residents are employed in Colorado, Utah, and Idaho, Myer said, although 2000 have settled in the Chicago area nce March 1, and others are farther east. Arizona, he added, has been designated by the WRA as "closed" to resettlement ' i. .:."? " 'TH!

Avenger and Dauntless bomb ers again supported the troops, plastering 35 tons ot bombs against enemy positions. The bombers, which were escorted by a strong cover of fighters, reported many hits on Japanese gun emplacements despite in tense anti-aircraft fire. Meanwhile, on New Guinea, allied bombers heavily pounded the Salamaua area and Lac, and ground patrols northwest of Mount Tambu, near Salamaua, engaged the enemy in sharp skirmishes. (Continued From Page One) cities reported disorders as the populace cheered the downfall of Mussolini, demanded the ouster of nasi troops in Italy, and clam ored for peace. Many fascists were placed under arrest. Military Guard in Milan Milan itself was under rigid military guard after clashes which erupted throughout yes terday and last night. Troops with bayoneted rifles and equipped with machine-guns guarded the Milan railway sta tion, and other troops patrolled the city's main thoroughfares. German garrison troops at Mi Ian, guarded in their barracks by Italian soldiers since Mussolini's resignation, were no longer to be seen., ISTANBUL. July 26 W) Tur key was projected dramatically into the role of a possible media tor between the United Nations and Italy today by a hasty and mysterious conference between the new Italian foreign minister, Rafaele Gueriglia, and Turkish Foreign Minister Numan Mene menetoglu. The meeting was held amid every indication of secrecy and urgency aboard the Italian em bassy launch In the Sea of Mar mora yesterday. Immediately after the conference Menemen cioglu left hurriedly for the cap ital at Ankara and it was. dis closed that Guariglla who has been in Turkey as ambassador under the fascist regime of Ben ito Mussolini would leave by plane today for Rome. The circumstances under which the meeting was held were in themselves sufficient to arouse Intense interest. Motorists Face Critical Tire Shortage, Says OPA PORTLAND, July 38 W) American motorists are facing the most critical tire shortage since Pearl Harbor, Russell Paul of the OPA automotive division in Washington warned today. Despite the progress being made in synthetic production, he told an industry meeting here, "we are going in the hole about 280,000 truck tires a month, and for the rest of this calendar year production of passenger car tires will be six million short of de mand." He said the used tire situation was similar. Paul estimated tires on the nation's vehicles are wearing down eight times as fast as they are being replaced. Republican Ruckus Out in Open With Charges, Denials WASHINGTON, July 28 (P) An internal, ruckus that has been brewing quietly in republican ranks over the scope of a for eign policy declaration for 1944 was out in the open today with public charges and denials that the Republican Postwar Policy association aims to "split" the party by harping against peace time "isolationists." Officers of the association, or ganized recently in Chicago and New York, came to grips with Chairman Harrison E. Spangler of the republican' national com mittee late yesterday when they called to urge that strong foreign cooperation resolutions be pre sented to the party's postwar ad visory council meeting at Macki nac Island, Mich., September -6 and 7. - r A LAST DAY in in V &fw y 9m' m ' MaW BIBS HEAP WASTE (Continued From Page One) battered city, which In normal times has a population of more than 1,000,000. Sandwiched in between these night raids were two smashing daylight attacks by American bombers on Sunday and Monday. There was no let-up In the al lied attack as strong formations ot fighters and fighter-bombers continued the assault in daylight today shuttling forth and back across the sunny channel to the low countries. The attacks con tinued past mid-day. Tenet Attacks (The German high command, in a communique broadcast by the Berlin radio, said that "strong enemy bomber forma tions continued their terror at tacks on Hamburg last night. There were further devastations and conflagrations caused in several parts of the city. The population again suffered losses." at claimed that 47 of the at tacking bombers were shot down.) Ruhr Bombed 1 Targets in the Ruhr valley, site of many Important German war industries, also were bomb ed during the night, said an air ministry communique, which ac knowledged the loss ot 18 bomb ers. Mosquitoes of the fighter com mand at the same time carried out offensive patrols over Ger many. Holland and France, at tacking airfields and railway communications, the bulletin said. The attack on Hamburg was described by the air ministry as "concentrated and effective." EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) do some high, wide and hand some guessing' at this point Reasonable guesses seem to be: 1. The Italian PEOPLE are weary of a war that has brought them only sorrow and suffering and humiliation and want to quit fighting. They're clearly GLAD to be rid of Mussolini, who dragged them into it. 2. They DON'T want to quit fighting us and then turn right around and BEGIN FIGHTING GERMANS. They just want to quit 8. The new Italian govern ment would LIKE to make peace with us (even, maybe, at the price of unconditional surrender) but is AFRAID of the Germans, who still have a strong military hold on Italy, and would like to make a dicker with us that will GET THE GERMANS OUT without too much shedding of Italian blood. rTO these guesses, which seem to make some sort ot vagus sense, let's sdd another: The Germans may have told the new Italian government that if it can get them out ot Italy more or less whole they'll leave without' venting their anger on the Italians for washing out on them. Henee (maybe) all the dicker ing that Is obviously going on. . - . fUR side, we must remember, v HOLDS THE WHIP now and isn't going to tolerate, much monkey business. Whatever is going to be done will have. to be done without a great deal of delay. The next few days will be in teresting ones.- a ANOTHER guess before qult n ting for the dsy: "We'll be pretty likely to stand pat for all necessary military facilities in Italy, including use of airfields, harbors, railroads, etc. When the bombs crashed down on them, they (Sicilians) fled from the crumbling buildings, out of clouds of dust into the British lines, wsving everything from white handkerchiefs to bed sheets.
