His speech, not delivered to fh Herman nponle. was reDort- ed by nazi broadcasts, which said it was maae 10 a meeiing of the reich's war production leaders. The time was not dis closed, nor was the text broad cast, Berlin giving, only what excerpts it wanted to reach for eign ears.

A German transocean broad cast recorded today by the As sociated Press said Hitler re ceived the production chiefs at h i s headquarters following a conference with Prof. Albert Speer, minister of munitions. "This war cannot be judged on daily events," Hitler was quoted as saying. "In a battle of such historical extent a timely success or defeat does not make any difference. In this war of destiny for the Ger man people everyone must fight and work for final victory. "I know that enormous cour age and strength of nerves are necessary to stand up in these times, but we shall not capitu late before any difficulty." Speaking of "the courageous German soldiers" at the front, he asked: "Should the German, leader ship which has been lucky enough to say for four years that we have had only successes now say that we will fail?". In answer, he said: "No. We will triumph this time and in, the end win this war."

KFJI Eisenhower Celebrates Fourth With Plane Ride SUPREME HEADQUARTERS ALLIED EXPEDITIONARY FORCE, July. 5 (tP) Gen. Dwight D.. Eisenhower returned to his headquarters today after cele brating the Fourth of July by flying with Maj.-Gen. Elwood Quesada on an observation trip over the Normandy battle area. Eisenhower flew in a Mustang over the combat area with Ques ada, chief of the U. S. ninth air force fighter command. Eisenhower also made a trip by road which took him past an enemy pocket of resistance on the American sector of western Cherbourg peninsula. . On the aerial jaunt, the su preme commander and. the young, intrepid Quesada led a flight which included six other planes. It was believed to have been Eisenhower's first flight over the area, and the first in which two generals flew in a plane built for one person. During his visit in France, Eisenhower conferred with Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery, commanding all ground forces, and Lt. Gen. Omar N. Bradley, commander of the American first army. . . , Eisenhower spent five days on the bridgehead. Col. George R. Bickell, Nutley, N. J., led a second element of the Mustang flight. All the pilots returned safely. Cheerful and thrilled over the experience, Eisenhower asked who was the leading ace of the group, and was told it was Capt. Don M. Beerbower, Hill City. Minn., with 18 planes to his credit. - "Get them all in the air, son?" Eisenhower asked. Beerbrower, who leads the ninth air force in number of kills, said he got 16 in the air and two aground. Eisenhower praised the per formance of the Mustang group, recently awarded a citation for outstanding operations. Others in the flight included Lt. Donald E. Gerber, Port land, Oregon. According to. the monthly re port, just received by Recruiting Specialist Dan Schreiber, in charge of the local navy recruit ing station, Klamath Falls placed second in the state in WAVE en listments for the month of June. Salem placed first, Eugene third and Medford was in fourth place. , The ranking is based on per centage of female population. Schreiber states that the goal for national enlistments is now 1200 women each week and urges all youne women 20 to 36. who have no children under 18 and have two years of high school to call at the local station in the post office building in regard to me opportunities in the WAVES, nooi.TTTi.r ROLLA, Mo., July 5 (JP) A new town, Doolittle, is being in corporated five miles west of iiKrp. ir. lc namort mi.

The lower rates, which Pacific northwest stockmen and packers claim would drive them out of business, were proposed by Ex aminer George J. Hall after months of. hearings throughout the west. The final hearing was held in Portland last November. Tlie commission itself must make the final decision on rate lowering. Northwest packers will file exceptions to Hall's recom mendation before the commis sion. Midwestern meat producing in terests have contended that if they were given lower rates it would reduce retail meat prices on the Pacific coast. Northwest producers claim the exact opposite. Declaring they could not meet midwest comoeti tion, they have asserted that low er rates would give the midwest a monopoly of the market, re sulting in eventual high prices in northwest meat markets. Hall gave his findings after hearing evidence in 11 "different complaints against the present rates on fresh meats and packing house products,, in carloads, from midwest packing plants to the west. The examiner said that the lack of free movement of beef, veal, and lamb is due to economic conditions and not freight rates, but as to pork, "the lack of free movement is due to the present high freight rates." He prooosed an elaborate new schedule of rates for all fresh meats and packing house products involved. Oregon Sweeps Past Bond Goal PORTLAND, July 5 W) Ore gon celebrated Independence Day by swweeping past its S125, 000.000 war loan goal to an un pected high of $134,030,395. The war finance committee announcing the ovcr-the-top rec ord today, predicted that the re maining four days of the Fifth War Loan drive would add at least another 30,000,000 to the state's bond coffer. Sales of E bonds, however, remained stubbornly glued this side of the halfway mark. A 24-hour report of $400,000 in in dividual bond purchases brought the total only to $18.539,075 less than half of the $38,000,000 quota. . . AN AMERICAN AIR BASE IN ITALY Filling out a routine biographical form, Capt. Al lium S. Farrar, 51, of Shrevnport, La., came to the question: "civilian occupation." Thinking back over his 35 years in the army, Farrar pond ered a moment, and then wrote: "Child." : BUTTON, BUTTON MILES CITY, Mont.

POSSE HUNTS TWO ESCAPED PRISONERS OYSTER BAY, N. Y.. July 5 l.'1'l Priceless relics' of Theo dore Roosevelt were saved to day when fire broke out in a garage on the Sagamore hill es tate of the late president and spread to the main house, dam aging a wing of the mansion. Volunteer firemen from four companies fought the blaze for more than an hour, confining it to a section of the home 'away from where the Roosevelt me mentos are kept. The Long Island home was unoccupied. Mrs. Roosevelt, widow of the 25th president, was reported vacationing in Connecticut. . , , Origin of the blaze, which demolished the garage and a cottage on the estate, was un determined. Fire officials did not estimate the amount of dam age. ' One of the most valuable relics in the old-fashioned frame house is the flag Roosevelt car ried when he led the Rough Riders in the Spanish-American war. . WALLA WALLA, July 5 M') A 50-man posse surrounded an area near here early this morn ing in an effort to capture two long-term convicts who escaped over the Washington state peni tentiary wall late last night niter throwing a fire bomb into the guard tower. The prisoners, both from King county, were identified as Ed ward L. Yager, 30, serving n life sentence for murder, and iinroin Hnrdcsty, 26, serving 10 years tor robbery. Prison Superintendent Bert O, Webb snld the two men appar ently climbed to the top of one of the cell blocks, threw a blaz- ing bundle of oil soaked rags wrapped around a rock Into the guard tower and slid to the cat walk on a rope and escapea while the guard was fighting the blaze. The guard, R. L. Kelly, was burned about the hands and body and is confined to the Insti tution hospital for treatment, Webb said. . . . The two escapees were cell mates, Webb said. Yager was sentenced to the penitentiary after walking Into a beattlc speakeasy In August, 1941, and slaying three men uus uelmalls, su, bartender, Monte F. Brown, 60, Seattle pub lisher, and John Linder, 50. Seven others were wounded In a gun battle between Yager ond police.
