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

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,

does not dash with their right

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

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. ' . '

WIS PROGRAM
AT KLAMATH
L
The war training service pro
gram at the Klamath Falls air
port hat been concluded, the
last class finishing its work last
weekend,
Civil aeronautics authority,
which operated the WTS pro
gram on many airports over the
nation, also ordered a conclusion
to the school at Bend. 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.
