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

grandchildren, Morton Yaden of

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
