The two coveted seats -in the

mium to the purchasers of the
largest amount' of bonds this
week, are now in the hands of
G. A. Krause, Klamath county
lumberman, : and Dave Liskey,
well known rancher.
Krause paid over $10,000 to
the bond committee. Liskey
bought $15,000 in bonds. This
does not mean that Krause and
Liskey will be cheering the Peli
cans on from the vantage point
high above the rest of the fans.
Others may step forward and bid
over the two. Deadline on pur
chases as far as Grant game seats
are concerned is Thursday at 6
p.m.
Two other large purchasers In
this program were Maude Liskey
and Dan Liskey, each buying
$7500 in bonds.
Heavy sales in connection with
these two major features of the
Third War Loan program were
reported Monday and Tuesday
from bond headquarters on Main
street. School children are com'

Elks, sponsors of the drive, give
the last stamp or equivalent to

Elks wished to clear up the
seat situation as regards to the
Grant-Klamath game. Purchase

The secretary of the chamber
of commerce, Earl Reynolds, re
turned Tuesday from a North'

meeting held September 17 and
IB at wenatcnee, wash.
Present at the meeting, which
according to Reynolds, was ex
tremely interesting, were over
1(0 delegates including officials
of all airlines serving the west.
A great deal of time at the con
ference was taken up with post
war planning, Reynolds said, al
though plans for the immediate
development of airports were
discussed.
RAPE CASE
Charged with the rape of a 14-
year-old Tulelake girl, John
Everett Hearron Jr., IB, and a
17-year-old juvenile appeared in
Justice court Tuesday morning, to
answer complaints filed against
them by the girl's father. .
. The Tulelake youths are said
to have enticed the girl from a
skating rink at Malin one night
last week. The two allegedly
took her to a car and drove a
short distance away where the
act is supposed to have occurred.
The boys then drove her back
to the skating rink, according to
report, where the girl told
friend about the affair. The dep
uty sheriff at Tulelake was noti
fied and the boys brought here
Tuesday to answer the charges.
Time was taken by Hearron in
justice court and he was out of
jail under $1000 cash bail. The
17-year-old, whose case will be
transferred to juvenile court,
was in custody Tuesday under

definite recognition of his abili

that Mr. Roosevelt did not re
gard as an important contribu

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

there would also be a conference
of Proaldeat Roosevelt Premier
Bretin and himself before the

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

still to appear as allies of Ger
many.
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.
