HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON Yaf wtf SB, IMS PAGE TWO FDR BACK IN WASHINGTQN MEETINGSSET WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 VP) President Roosevelt returned to Washington today and, as a di rect follow-up on the Quebec war conference, scheduled ap pointments' with' diplomatic, state and military officials. The list Included Dr. T. V. Soong, Chinese foreign minister; Secretary of State Hull: General George C. Marshall, army chief of staff; and General H. H. Arn old, commanding army air forces. Prune Minister Winston Chur chill of Britain is expected here within a week to -pick up some ' of the loose threads of the Que bec meeting. There was reason to believe that this forthcoming meeting would center mostly on political aspects of the war and on a post-war program. Hull went to. Quebec -princi pally to consider such problems In cross-the-table conversations with British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden. An official- announcement at Quebec said lhat the war against Japan played an important part in the Anglo-American delibera tions, . and Soong went from Washington to sit in on the lat ter stages of these conferences, Presumably his engagement at tha White House today was for a continuation of talks on strategy gainst Japan. Marshall and Arnold also were at Quebec. Mr. Roosevelt, after delivering an address In Ottawa, Canada, Wednesday, spent a few days resting before returning to Washington. One of his first official actions upon reaching the capital today was to grant the commissioner of Immigration and naturalization and district directors under him the authority to make excep tions, after investigation, for liens who otherwise would be classified as enemy aliens. Previ ously the attorney general alone hjd this power, and he, too, would continue to exercise it, long with the others. Italians Angered Over Ciano Flight 7 AT ' THE SWISS-ITALIAN FRONTIER, Aug. SO UP) The reported-flight of Count Galeaz zo Ciano, former Italian foreign minister and son-in-law of Ben ito Mussolini, angered today the Italian, people who considered him one of the most responsible for the fascist regime, A Chiasso dispatch to the Swiss Telegraphic agency said Italian had assumed that Ciano and his family were heavily guarded and therefore were sur prised to learn he had been able to evade surveillance. (A broadcast of the German underground radio station, At lantic, was recorded in London as saying Ciano had reached Munich after fleeing from Rome. Layton Receives Death Sentence 1 DALLAS, Aug. 30 (JP) Cir cuit Judge Arlie G. Walker to day sentenced Richard H. Lay ton, 36, former Monmouth po : lice chief, to die in the state's lethal gas chamber October 8 for the "Lover's Lane" rape slaying of 17-year-old Ruth Hil debrand of Dallas. Calmly and without a trace of emotion, Layton listened to the judge. Then when asked if he had anything to say, he re plied: "I still say I'm innocent."

JElESFLEE HAMMER AT TAGANROG (Continued from Page One) to the north and west. Donets-ko-Amvrosievka Is 40 miles north of Taganrog. General Retreat Evacuation' of Taganrog makes it clear that the whole right flank of the German army is comprised and indicates that a general pulling back, started with the soviet offensive in the Donets basin a few days ago, has been stepped up. Tinnms had been heavily fortified by the Germans,, and its recapture by the Russians Indicates the power of the cur rent red army anve. tw years ntriat nffemive. which began with the victory of Stalingrad, swept on past Rostov in this re gion but stopped anon jusi east ml nnrth nf Tasanros in the face of a violent nazi defense of the city. No Indication There was no immediate in dication whether the Germans would attempt to stand a few miles west of Taganrog on the west bank of the Mius river, or withdraw some 60 miles farther to the west to Mariupol. The. Berlin radio said the Russians had suffered heavy losses, mainly through mlne i.iri left bv the retreating Germans in the Taganrog area. Retribution for . Nazi Atrocities Promised by Allies WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 (JP) Ruthless atrocities by the Ger man invaders of Poland, accused by systematically murdering or deporting hundreds of thousands of persons, were aenouncea oy the United States and Great Brit ain today in a joint promise of retribution. - Reaffirming their resolve to punish the instigators as well as the perpetrators of the crimes, Washington and London declared that so long as such atrocities continue to be committed "they must be 1 taken into account against the time of the final set tlement with Germany.". Allied Planes End Lull In Aerial War LONDON, Aug. 30 (JP) Large formations of allied planes roared out across the English Channel this evening, ending a 24-hour lull in the aerial war on axis Europe caused by bad weather conditions. The Paris radio, meanwhile, said in a broadcast recorded by The Associated Press that '.'en emy planes last night dropped numerous incendiary bombs on a little village in the Somme De partment." ' - $1.19 NEW ORDER RULES; DANES (Continued on Page Two) es sent the greater part of their small navy to tha bottom. Result o( Disorders The Germans' drastic action was the upshot of a series of violent disorders in the tiny country during the past two weeks. Nine naval ships, two of them small destroyers, reached safety in Swedish ports yester day. Another torpedo boat ar rived at Landskrona last night, raising to 10 the number now docked in Sweden. King. Cabinet Jailed One of the latest reports reaching Sweden said members of the cabinet, including Prime Minister Eric Scavenlus, were in internment with King Chris tian at Sorgenfri castle. The . cabinet conferred with the king until the early hours Sunday before Gen.. Hermann von Hannecken. German com mander in Denmark, issued his proclamation at 4:15 a. m. an nouncing nazi martial law. Abdication Threat The king threatened to abdi cate if the cabinet accepted a drastic ultimatum submitted by German Minister Werner Best on Saturday. The cabinet's flat rejection of the 'demands sig nalled, the end of Danish col laboration and the smashing of the German effort to establish Denmark as a showcase model for other occupied countries. The Danish people received little information of the swift movement of events In their country, as no newspaper had been published for two days. Nazis Take Over The Danish radio later, an nounced that Von Hannecken had taken over all court and civil functions. The radio broad cast a warning that courts mar tial would be established imme diately to mete out the death penalty and other severe sen tences for violators of the mar tial law. Danish laws will be revised along nazi lines, in addition to "a new arrangement of the pub lic life of Denmark," the Von Hannecken announcement said. It added that loyal civil, aer- vants would be retained under German control. Absolut Ouiet (The nazi-controlled Kalund borg radio in Denmark, mean while, was recorded by U. S. government monitors as assert ing: "It can now be stated that absolute quiet reigns all over the country." The- broadcast added that the "state adminis tration and all enterprises, in cluding those hitherto on strike, are now working.") The light coastal, defense ship Niels Iuel was one of the ves sels that tried to escape, but it was sunk by a German torpedo plane in the Ise Fjord. The 30-year-old warship was command-, ed by Captain' Carl Wester mann, vice-chairman of the Danish house of commons, and there were reports here that a number of prominent persons were among the 369 persons aboard .who were reported saved and landed at HeUingoer. Reach Sweden , Three more Danish naval ships carrying a total of about 75 persons reached Sweden this morning. Marine and royal guard forc es fought a brief but spirited battle with German troops who tried to invade the royal bar racks and naval yard in Copen hagen as the scuttling was in progress, Danes who escaped to Sweden reported. Ships Sunk "Forty-five vessels- of various types, including two new de stroyers and nine submarines, were sunk, ammunition dumps blows up,, and harbor fortifica tions wrecked. - Nazi ' troops surrounded the royal palace at Amalienborg, blown up, and harbor fortifica entrances and exchanged a bar rage of gunfire with the Ger mans. Resistance ceased only when King Christian X gave the order. NEW YORK, Aug. 30 (JP) Nazi forces intend to-"persist in their protection of Denmark as long as the war lasts." The German news agency DNB said this today in a broad cast transmitted for publication in German-controlled newspap ers in Europe. The transmission was recorded by U. S. govern ment monitors. NEW YORK, Aug. 30 (JP) The British Broadcasting cor poration said today that several hundred German soldiers "are. PELICAN NOW!
