HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON eptambar 1, 1I4S PAGE TWO T Damage to Klamath county crops caused by Sunday night's frost was surveyed yesterday by County Agent C. A. Henderson, who reports the frost may mean the difference between a -fair and a good crop of potatoes. "Apparently potatoes were partially frozen In the entire area, as temperatures seemed to be fairly uniform," Henderson said. Minimum temperatures of 27 and 28 degrees were reported. Dry fields seemed to be frozen rather badly, while fields that were wet and recently irrigated suffered less. The frost will affect the yield up to 10 per cent, the county agent estimated. The frost will cause the fields to start maturing and may make possible earlier digging. Late planted crops were damaged severely. Grain crop damage in late ma turing field of oats and - barley was quite severe. As a result, oats will be cut for hay in some instances instead of being bar vested for grain, and the grain crop will be lessened. ' Also, some barley will be changed from a high class brew ing barley to a feed crop, al though barley was less affected by the frost than was the oat crop. ' Some damage was seen In the small seed crops, and the frost will cut down the amount of alfalfa cut for hay. Minor dam age was done in either of these crops. . Some vegetable gardens were damaged both victory and com mercial gardens but her the damage was more spotted, de pending on the condition of the plants and the variety in temp eratures. Late maturing veg etables such as beans, corn, tom atoes and squash were most af fected by the frost EDITORIALS ON NEWS '' iftrryA Vwnm Pan CSvm and the British night raiders.

And the pres ident said at his press confer ence a little later that things were going along pretty well with respect to a three-power conference. WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 P) Secretary of State Hull said to day an Anglo-Soviet-American conference to discuss urgent problems of the war is highly de sirable. Asked if he was prepared to attend a London parley of Brit ish, American and soviet foreign ministers, Hull told a press con ference he has no plans and that he did not know yet whether the proposed conference might be held.

' Battleships Help Two British battleships joined in the daylight offensive against the Italian mainland. ' Their 18- inch guns poured a heavy bom bardment into enemy coastal bat teries in the area of Reggio Calabria on the Italian toe, knocking out at least one gun and causing fires, apparently from exploding ammunition. The same battleships, with a cruiser and several destroyers. engaged batteries In the area of Cape -Pellaro, also on the Strait of Messina. . ......- Enrollment in County Schools Sam as in 1942 (Continued From Page One) enrolled on the first day of school in 1942.

The increase in attendance at these two schools is due to the fact that Summers school is not running this year and the little over a hundred pupils who at tended there are now at Alta mont County school authorities said Wednesday that in farming com munities such as Henley, Bonan za, etc., there would be a notice able increase in enrollment in those schools later in September. Many of the boys and girls from these districts are still working in the fields and have not enter ed school.

NEW TODAY iosn BENNETT MILTON BERLE OTIO ' MEMINOER PACrFIC FLEET CHALLENGES JAPSTOFIGHT (Continued From Page One) either the Tokyo statements or the navy disclosures here to show whether the action was limited to Marcus island or whether American forces had struck simultaneously at other points. Japs Worried "The Japanese obviously were badly worried, -' however, the Tokyo radio pointing out that a force which succeeded in raid ing Marcus might have struck at Japan itself. The American naval spokes man said: "A carrier task force raid planned for September 1 is pre sumably in progress at Marcus island. The United States task force should have arrived on scheduled time. However, no re port has been received from the raiding force and it is presumed that there will be none until need for radio silence ceases to exist Confident Not in 20 months of this war had the navy Issued a statement reporting a raid while it still was in progress. The announce ment today indicated complete confidence of the high command here that the task force was so powerful as to be able to cope with any forces the Japanese might attempt to throw against it. There was about the announce ment a suggestion of war of nerves planning with the navy possibly deliberately attempting to confront the Tokyo admirals with so direct a challenge that they would be compelled sooner or later to throw their main fleet into action. Marcus, so- far as could be learned here, is not one of the main Japanese bases such as Truk island further to the south, but it is an important defensive position and listening post guard ing the southeastern approaches to the Tokyo-Yokohoma area, heart of Japan. Pope Appeals For Peace as War Enters Fifth Year (Continued on Page Two) does not dash with their right to live and their sense of honor.' He made no more specific mention of those countries now having ill fortune in the war's course, but asserted "the minds and hearts of the peoples" were filled with doubts that continua tion of conflict "can be in ac cordance with national interest, reasonable and justified before Christian and human con science." Prays for Way The Pope offered his prayers that a way would be opened to the "hearts and decisions of those who hold in their hands the fate of afflicted humanity," and ad ded: "Blessed be those to what ever group of belligerents they may belong who cooperated so that the deadlock wherein the fatal balance of war and peace is now Kept in suspense may be overcome." "Through the gigantic strug gles the exterior happenings of tne war approach us and con verge towards their culminating point," he continued. Generosity Generosity in the making of peace would have within itself the means by which the generous could fully protect their inter ests, the Holy. Father said. Through the whole of his ad dress ran repeated admonitions to war leaders to accept some spirit of compromise. He urged: uo not disturb or impede the desires of the peoples for peace by actions which instead of en couraging confidence rather in flame hatreds anew and streng then determination to resist." - Low gas mileage of a car mav be due to a sluggish thermostat.

The value of the natural rubber produced by the plant is that several articles which cannot be made entirely from synthetic produc tion are obtainable from the na tural rubber. Among these are truck tires and inner tubes. The project will be carried on here next year, Mays said, using experience gained this year to produce' better plants. This fall samples of "roots will be sent to headquarters of the project to be tested for the amount and quality of rubber. Samples of soil from each of the tracts will also be analyzed. JERRIES FLEE (Continued from Page One) made in a communique broad cast by the Moscow radio, fol lowed by only a few hours a German broadcast saying the nazis had retreated in the Donets basin area southwest of Voro shilovgrad. The Berlin broad cast, also recorded by The As sociated Press, quoted a dispatch of the German News agency DNB. Germans Routed The Moscow war bulletin said the Russians routed the German 111th and 294th nfantry and 15th airborne divisions at Taganrog and inflicted heavy defeats on the 304th, 306th and 336th infan try and 13th tank divisions. "In these battles our troops de stroyed 212 enemy planes, 537 tanks, 494 guns of various cali bers, .1300 machine guns, 3600 trucks, 10 fuel dumps and 29 ammunition dumps," the com munique said. - "The enemy lost In killed alone-more than 35,000 officers and men."' It added that 5100 German of ficers and men were taken pris oner. . The German broadcast of the DNB dispatch said earlier: "Another shortening of the home front, involving the possi bility of establishing operative reserves, was achieved by a planned withdrawal of German lines In the Voroshilovgrad area which the Soviets attempted in vain to impede. The regular German communi que, recorded by The Associated Press said numerous Russian at tacks in the Mi us, Rylsk and Vyazma sectors on widespread sections of the front were beat en off after violent hand-to-hand combat. Germans Inflict Big Damage on Russia, Says Varga MOSCOW, Sept 1 W) Ger many has inflicted on the soviet union damage amounting to bil lions of dollars and on all other allies only about half that much, Professor Eugene Varga esti mated today in a lecture, add ing the Russians would claim reparations to prevent the Ger mans, from having a higher standard of living than the countries on which they inflict ed the damage. As a matter of economic necessity,' said Varga, Hungar ian, and former professor at the University of Budapest, repara tions should be first paid to the soviet union and other countries which suffered occupation and then to the United States and England where the relief is not needed immediately.

At Prine- ville, where an Instructors school Is being conducted, the classes will continue. The program was located on the Klamath field In February, 1942, moving here from Eugene. University of Oregon was the sponsor, and Louis Soukup, head of Oregon Aircraft, was the gov ernment contractor. Soukup's plane equipment used In the school will remain at the Klam ath field for the present. Large numbers of pilots and instructors received training at the Klamath field in the year and a half WTS was In opera tion. For several months, the men training at the airport have beeq quartered at the Summers school building. In view of the possibility the navy may use the Klamath field for air gunnery practice operations, moving in a considerable number of men, It is expected the Summers school building will be left as it Is for a time so the navy may use it if it is found desirable for navy purposes. Otto Vitus has functioned as local representative of the WTS coordinator at the University of Oregon. Private club flying will contin ue at the local field.
