Here tne Russians apparently were hurt Ing in immense concentrations of artillery, infantry, aircraft and tanks to clear the swamps and mine-filled forests around that bastion.

On the Italian front, the allied-controlled Algiers radio said the Germans were continuing to fall back from the Salerno sector, 20 miles below Naples, under pressure by the American 5th and British 8th armies. - A bulletin from Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's headquarters announced that U. S. 5th army troops captured the' mountain town of Eboli, 17 miles south east of Salerno and about 12 miles inland. "The 8th army continues to advance in the fact of light op position," a communique said. "The situation remains sat isfactory," an Algiers broad cast said, adding that there was no large-scale fighting and that contact between the opposing armies was limited to patrols.

Smash Masts First The primary and dominating element of allied war plans still is to smash Germany first, then turn the full weight of ever increasing Anglo American armed power on Japan. For that reason General Marshall is ex pected to assume command of the "direct attack across the English channel on Germany in France and the low countries" for which Prime Minister Churchill told parliament today the present Mediterranean cam paign was "an essential prelim inary.' "Our toughest job is to reach Berlin and Marshall is the toughest soldier we (the allies) have got to do it," a high placed government official told this writer today. It aiso was indicated that in General Marshall the Anglo- American joint chiefs of staff saw the only officer of either nation to whose supreme com mand both could entrust the tremendous task of completing the victory. It will involve, it is indicated, not only placing Britain's main army, her home fleet and her home air forces under other than a British com mander for the far-reaching of fensive actions across the chan nel contemplated; but even linking the operation in the Pacific, in Asia and India and in China with a unified cen tral field command in due REYNOLDS OFFERED WAGE RATE POST Earl Reynolds, secretary of the chamber of commerce, received word this week that he had been appointed employer repre sentative on a national industry committee for finance, insurance, real estate and miscellaneous in dustries to consider minimum wage rates.

Speaking of the prospect ot a Rooeevelt-Churohill-Stalin con ference, Prima Minister Church ill said: . "No meeting during this war could carry with it so much significance tor the future of the world as a meeting between the head of the three govern- menta for without dose, cordial and lasting association between soviet Russia and their great allies we might find ourselves at the end ot the war only to have entered upon a period ot deepening confusion. Long Speech Churchill' speech, longest hi his career as prime minister, lasted two hours and seven min utes. He spoke for an hoar and IS minute, (topped for lunch, and then picked tip where he left off. The prime minister spoke out sharply against those who had accused the allied leadership ot bungling in Italy. The date on which the Italian invasion had originally been planned, he told the house, was September 15, but it wa moved up "a the result of decision taken before the fall of Mus solini, and what ha taken place in any case would have hap pened In Italy at the earliest possible moment." "The Italian surrender was a windfall," ha said, "but it had nothing to do with the date ot harvesting the orchard." He termed the Npli. in vasion the "most daring amphibious- operation we have yet launched or which I think ever ha, been launched On a similar scale in the war." He explained that the allies could . not have gone farther north unless they had dispensed with aid from shorebased air craft a fact Which - the Ger mans must have known. Even in. landing at . Naples, he Mid, allied tore were-da-pendent "to an. important ex tent" upon carrier-borne air craft in which the allies are be coming stronger and stronger. The claim that Hitler wa given 40 day to ' move, in on Italy, tha prime minister Mid firmly, "is a Ill-founded in fact a it i wounding to those be reaved. The timing ot our main attack in Italy was fixed with out the (lightest reference to the attitude of tha .Italian govern ment." Calm Deeerlpttea Churchill's calm description of the minute and exact plan ning that had . gone into the Italian campaign It was an answer to critics In the same forum where he had met and mastered so many previous criticisms presented the pic ture of an allied hand in Italy far harder than had been previ ously known. We did not Insist upon having Mussolini handed ever to us be forehand, he Mid, for the sim ple reawn that it would have tipped off the Germans ot Bad ogllo' plan to make peace at a moment when the Italian war in the position ot having Tst a DAYS I CaX I MEIER No Ration Coupons Needed ai . i"aV' Michael Thelsen is shown here with the 1000-pound steer he won at the junior livestock show Tuesday night.

Too, his disclosure that pre cise measures had been taken to keep Mussolini in allied hands measures extending to order for the former premier's execu tlon if necessary suggested something fur removed from the sentimental approach to the duce which some had accused tre al lies of making. Unprepared Premier P 1 e t r o Badogollo's government, Churchill explain ed, had made preparations to hold Mussolini but were not pre pared against thoone meth' od Hitler attempted and brought off "a heavy parachute descent at that particular point (Gran sasso). "They had one card up their sleeves," he added calmly. "The Caribmlerl guards had orders to shoot Mussolini if any attempt was made to rescue him but they failed in their duty." Churchill told commons that the Mediterranean campaign Is not "a substitute for a direct at tack across the channel on the German in France and the low countries" that he has never regarded it as such. Turning to the air war, the prime minister announced that the weight of bomb dropped on Germany in the past year was three times that of the preccd ing 12 months and that the United States and Britain's air craft supply now exceeds that of Germany by more than four to one.

Jack Kimball, manager ot the Klamath Forejit Protective association, said that an exten slve patrol program was neces sary on the borders ot the 2000 acres burned over by this fire, the worst of the season. A fire broke out in Crater Lake Lumber - company slash near Hlldebrand but wa (top ped Sunday after covering 2Vt acres. Kimball said Klamath Tim ber company deserves credit for its cooperation In helping tight the Plum valley tire. The company, which until recently logged in that area, had three 20.000-galIon tanks and one 13.-000-gallon tank there. It contri buted a tank truck and a bull' doscr to the equipment used on that blare. .
