By The Auociattd ?rt,s LONDON, July IS London and southern England were tar gets of the greatest 24 hour robot bomb attack last night and today since the German weapon first was loosed June 13. - Gen. - Eisenhower's invasion headquarters interpreted the at tack as ah effort to divert the mighty pace of allied air power which has been stunning Uer- man trooos across the channel with an unprecedented deluge of bombs. The number of flying bombs, launched from the Calais coast of France; increased noticeably with the start of the British of fensive below Caen and it was annarent that the German com mand had decided to strike the civilian population of England in a gamble to pull away some of the 7350 planes that pounded the German war machine in the reich and France yesterday. Last definite figures an nounced for robot bomb casual tie's were given to commons by Winston Churchill July 6. At that time 2752 had been killed and 8000 hospitalized, mainly in the. "bombardment of' London." , The Germans tried a new technique - by launching bombs in salvos, like artillery-barrages. but failed to divert allied air power from striking full force at the heart of Germany and the Normandy battle fields, instead of the bomb launching platforms near the channel. Some bombs tore into the ground or into buildings in power dives with their engines still running. Others followed the orthodox pattern, crashing and exploding a few seconds after the engines quit. British civilians went grimly about their business.

John Rutenic Prominent In List of Pioneers Here ' The D'assine of John C. Ru tenic, better known to his friends as uapt. ituiemc, on June za 1944. removed another promin ent figure, from ,the list, of old time settlers of Klamath Falls Born in Wisconsin on May 4. 1864. he received his early edu cation in Cleveland, Ohio, grad uating from caivin college. Com ing west, he first taught school at St. Johns, Oregon, in .1885. Re turning to the east in 1890 he was married to Margaret-Belle Bartholomew of Perry, O., They returned to Oregon to make their home in Portland. Deciding ' to follow the legal profession he en tered, the Portland . law. school. a Drancn pi- the university of uregon, .... ': After completion of his iaw course he entered the law office of C W. Idleman, a prominent attorney in Portland who later served as state attorney general. About 1887 Rutenic joined the Oregon National Guards, in which he became a first lieuten ant and later captain. In 1803 he conceived the idea of organ izing a company of men to match his own six foot, three inches of height. Thus .- was formed" the famous Company A, First Oregon Regiment, O. N. A, in which Mr. Rutenic served as captain, and in which membership was limited to me who were six feet tall or over. Company A made a striking appearance whenever ;t turned out, for it had a member ship of 72. With; -the - outbreak of the Spanish-American war ComDanv A disbanded and a major share oi tne memoersnip entered the Oregon regiment. Mr. Rutenic be coming first lieutenant of Bat tery B, Oregon volunteers; sta tioned at uamp .corbin, near Portland, Oregon. : . At the close of the ' war th Rutenics decided to move to Linkville (now Klamath Falls), so in the winter of 1898-99 they arrived in "Linkville . with their two small .twin daughters. In those days access to Linkville was by horse drawn stages from Ager, California. In this frontier town tne-young lawyer found authorities on this subject. The case of Hough vs. Porter, which was handled by Mr. Rutenic, be came a landmark in early water law in Oregon in that it estab lished tne pattern to be followed by many other suits. This study of water law culminated in the monumental task of establishing all rights .to the water of the bprague river outside of the In dian reservation. After 20 years of study and practice in Oregon law, Rutenic began the publication, with a limited subscription list, of a ci tator called "Law Tables." This publication was-continued for a number of years and was highly esteemed by the legal profession who by this time considered him to be one of the best versed minds in Oregon law in the state. In-1916 Mr. Rutenic entered into partnership in law practice iwith his son-in-law, A. C. Yaden and this continued until his re tirement in 1934. ' Rutenic's chief recreation was found in nature study, in reading, ano in tne study ot tne Klamath and Modoc Indians. He wrote many articles on the history of the Modoc war. Standing upon the very battlegrounds with all information available, he could see the blunders that created the deciding moments of the differ ent battles. In his association with Klam ath history he realized the need for the preservation of the his torical side of the Klamath re gion. Early in his career he be gan the assembling of one of the largest collections of items of the material culture of the Klamath and Modoc tribles to be found in' the United States. This col lection has been merged with the McLeod collection now at 413 High. ; Besides two brothers and four sisters, Mr. Rutenic is survived by his widow, Mrs. M. B. Ruten ic, . two daughters. Mrs. A. C Yaden and Mrs. Edith McLeod, all of Klamath Falls; by five grandchildren, Morton Yaden of Oswego, Oregon: Clifford Yaden of Klamath Falls; Mrs.' James Dimit of Salem. Oregon:. Dale MAN Y GERMANS, WRITTEN OFF CAMPAIGN Marine Sidelights July I, NAZI GENERAL By RODGER D. GREENE GEN. M O N T G O M E RY'S HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Julv 19 OP) Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery estimated today that 156,000 Germans have been "written off" killed, wounded or captured in the six-weeks- old campaign in Normandy and declared Bntisii and American troobs would have no difficul ty in defeating the Germans in France." "Our object is to write off German - personnel and- equip ment." the allied ground com mander told a press conference. 'Bleed the German military machine to death and the time will come-when the enemy can't go on." Allied troops have captured 60,000 Germans of the total es timated casualties. Montgomery said,, and have buried 8000 of the nazi dead. Montgomery was in his most cheerful mood since D-Day as he reported the success of the opening of the new offensive by Lt. Gen. Sir Miles Christo pher Dempsey, commander of the British second army. We had a very good day yesterday indeed, Montgomery said. "There is no doubt that we gained a tactical surprise over the enemy and the present situation is that we have very strong mobile forces operating southeast and east of Caen.- So now we have a nice little area east of the Orne and we have written off a lot of Ger mans. The general said British losses in the violent new surge were so small as to be almost negli gible, but he cautioned: "There is a lot still to be done no doubt of that." The general s net dogs. "Hit ler," a, sad-eyed little Cocker spanier, and "Rommel," a wire haired terrier, romped about on the grass as he spoke before a corps of nearly 200 corresDon- dents.
