July 14 (IP) Up to 500 escorted American heavy bombers attacked Budapest rail way yards from four oil refin eries in Hungary today in con tinued, determined effort to de stroy German fuel supplies and communications. Foul weather hampered opera tions in suDDort of the battle in Normandy, although some flights cut through clouds and squalls and bombed railroad yards at Beauvais and Montdider, far east of the battle fields.. ,- Three of the Hungarian refin eries were on the outskirts of Budapest and these were the meat for Frying Fortresses based on the more-sunny fields of Italy.

HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON ft I IN BATTLE (Continued From Page One) said the attackers were checked after severe fighting, and frag mentary battlef ront reports made no mention of a breakthrough. Casualties Heavy Casualties undoubtedly were heavy among the defenders, in cluding veteran Americans in frontline positions, as well as among the Japanese. A large-scale battle appeared to be building. General Hatazo Adachl, commander of the 18th army, apparently had well-laid plans for the breakthrough at tempt. The headquarters spokes man said it was too early to .de termine whether the major blow would come now, but it was Ukeiy. Calmer Attacks . The Japanese assault was not a frantic, banzal-shrieklng sui cide drive. The attackers em ployed all their jungle guile and aeiermination. . Skirmishes began Monday, continued through the next day and led to Wednesday's savage fighting. The Japanese attackers are survivors of an originally esti mated 60,000 men isolated on a 130-mile coastal stretch between Aitape and Australian positions 70 miles west of Wewak. Their current drive to escape jungle rigors evidently is designed to reach the northwest coast or to join other surrounded Japanese pickets in tne lau-mne stretcn between Aitape and Hoiianaia DEVELOPMENT OF Plans for the post-war physical development of the - parks and monuments of this district will be formulated at meetings on Friday and Baturoay 01 tne na tional Park Service ' off icials in Klamath Falls, the Lava Beds and Crater, lake On Friday Superintendent E, P.

S. date)' Vice Adm. Chuichl Na gumo, commander in chief of the central Pacific area for the Jap anese imperial navy, was among those' who met their deaths on Saipan island," last night's com munique related. . The admiral thus died the day before Saipan was completely conquered and' the day after thousands of Japs were slain in a suicidal counterattack on Tanapag. "On the same day (July 7), one Rear Admiral Yano lost his life," the communique added. "Vice Admiral Nagumo was In command of the Japanese forces which attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and was in command of the Japanese car rier task force that was destroyed in the battle of Midway. .Prior to his present duty, he was com mandant of the Sasebo naval base (on Japan, recently raided py U'ivs). .
