On August 10. the bombings reached a peak , with 24 separate assaults on the ene my's installations. The bombers carrying out those missions en countered light anti-aircraft fire and started many' fires.' The chronology of the aerial blitz also showed 18 assaults during 42 hours August 4, starting many, fires and causing numerous explosions. On Au gust 11, bombers 21 times roared over Kiska and the navy reported "fires were started in all areas and considerable deb ris was observed in enemy em placements on Little Kiska."

Allied chiefs of staff, who maintain close contact even when war councils are not in progress, met for days before Mr. Roosevelt and Churchill joined forces here to finish charting the next assaults on the axis. The two principals, moreover, held their prelimin ary discussions at Hyde Park, N. Y., in advance of their Que bec talks. Work Continues The military work of the Que bec conference was not entirely completed. Chiefs of staff and their key advisors were to con tinue consultations during the weekend. But their principal job at this stage of the war par ley appeared to be that of pick ing up a few loose ends remain ing after all the more momen tous issues on the military agenda were out of the way. The question of obtaining bet ter teamwork with Russia, some observers here believed, is up permost among the political considerations confronting the allied leaders here.

Storm Lebedin ' They stormed into Lebedin, 100 miles northwest of Kharkov and midway between captured Akhtyrka and Sumy, in a scries of smashing tank and infantry attacks, Moscow announced in a special communique. Knotop lies 70 miles to the northwest of Lebedin and its capture would menace the whole naii supply setup in the Ukrainian theater. London reports, meanwhile, indicated that soviet troops had encircled all but 13 miles of Kharkov itself. Bryansk Front . On the Bryansk front, the Germans were throwing strong forces against the steadily ad vancing soviet columns, but the Russian's war bulletin said they were forced to fall back to "well prepared" positions after aban doning valuable war dumps. In the Spas Demensk offensive the Russians were striking out for Smolensk, another vital nazi an chor, 75 miles to the northwest. Here, again, the Russians would not be denied, and pressed on de spite fierce counter-attacks by fresh German reserves, Moscow said. This advance threatened a whole segment of German de fenses between Bryansk and Smolensk. Mediterranean, African Axis Losses Totaled LONDON, Aug. 21 OP) Axis losses of 160,000 men in Sicily brought the grand total of ene my troops killed, wounded and captured in the African-Mediterranean campaign from Ethi opia to Messina to 1,139,000, a recapitulation of British war office figures showed today.

P.n.,u,U .ri'ir. mufl HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Paee One) a PART of our strength and the Japs have been free to use ALL of theirs. When we're finally free to use all our strength against Japan, the picture will change sharply. The Japs are probably PRE PARING for that time. i'JHERE'S nothing much new In the rest of the world. Our warships and planes are pounding the toe of the Italian boot, and Swiss reports say tha Italians expect us to Invade their mainland somewhere south of Naples. The vigor of the bom bardment that is going on lends some color to this expectation. fHERE are further signs of German nervousness in western Europe. The nazis have set Tuesday as the deadline for French patriots to SURRENDER THEIR ARMS or face the death penalty. That indicates fear of the French. In Denmark, King Christian and the Danish government ap peal jointly to their people to cease sabotaging German pro duction and transport. (Waves of sabotage - are said to have been sweeping the country.) Permitting the Danish govern ment and king to handle this situation in their own way, rath er than wading in with firing squads to handle it themselves, is a rather clear admission of Germans' nervousness in Den mark. CTOCKHOLM hears today that a shake-up in the Finnish cabinet is brewing as the Finns become increasingly Impatient for a separate peace with Russia. The Berlin radio tells us the Russians have opened a new of fensive along the 1000-mile front from Leningrad to Murmansk. Such an offensive would be di rected against the Finns. QN the New York stock mar ket today, there is a minor wave of precautionary selling said to be based on desire to hedge against possible important developments in the news OVER THE WEEKEND. The stock speculators, like the rest of us, have noted that in this war most of the big news seems to happen on Saturday night or Sunday morning.

Layton Tells Of Nude "Tag"; Trial Adjourns (Continued From Page One) Bucna Vista' the night of June 7, he said. Often Ride He said he had offered her a ride home after she missed the last bus from Monmouth, and that she accompanied him vol untarily into the "Lover's Lane" road near Buena Vista. When she splashed into the water, he became frightened, threw her clothes into the river and went home without report ing the mishap, Layton testified. Dr. Herman A. Dickel, Port land psychiatrist called by the defense, said he was convinced Layton was a moron.

Asked Services Howard Morlan, operator of a bus terminal confectionery in Monmouth, said he had asked Layton to take Miss Hildebrand home once, since Layton often drove similarly stranded girls to their houses. District Attorney Bruce Spaulding, who accuses Layton of shoving the girl into the river while assaulting her, dropped an attempt to introduce t e s 1 1 mony Layton gave before the Polk county grand jury.
