Attack Bombers Collide Before Crowd of 100,000 VITAL STATISTICS 'ROWS Bom at Hillside hospital, Klamath Falls, Ore., July 22, 1944, to Mr. and Mra. Roy Rowe, 1130 California, a boy. Weight; 6 pounds 4 ft ounces.. SPOKANE. July 24 (IP) A crowd of 100,000, too stunned to make outcry, watched yester day as two attack bombers col' lided in divine into a natural amphitheater and fell in flames during a war snow, Killing tour men. The ships, the army counter Dart of the navy's helldivers, were part of a parade of various types oetore tne crowa at tne Spokane air service command "Stav-on-the-Job" war show. An anouncer had just told the biggest crowd in Spokane's history that the ships were cap able of speeds of 400 miles an hour, when three of the ships peeled off in formation to dive on the town. They veered in one direction, then banked away from the crowd toward the center of the amphitheater. Stacked up in turning, one of the ships slid into another. Wreckage showered out from them and they fell the few hun dred feet to the bottom of the bowl. ' Malnr Arthur T. Spaeth. SPASC public relations officer, estimated the snips were oiuy 200 feet higher than the crowd lining the bowl, about 2000 feet out from the grandstand and 400 feet off the floor of the bowl when they crashed. Police had no reports of peo ple fainting or becoming hyster ical. The show, billed as the biggest thing of its kind ever staged. went on after a delay, but straf ing attacks planned on the plain below the people were elimi nated from the program. A B-24 Liberator bomber dropped a string of practice bombs on munitions dump and trooDs staged a thunderous sham battle. Killed in the D lanes were Caot. Ford K. Sayre, 34, Hanover, N.

Sir Ber nard L. Montgomery's big drive just a week ago. In its morning summation of the situation, supreme headquar ters said it was "a relatively quiet day on the whole front" and added that there was "no im provement over last night."

Teacher Shortage Feared by County A definite teacher- shortage this fall is feared bv th rnnnv school office. The tentative teacher list for county schools made out in that office shows be tween 15 and 20 vacancies in the various localities. So far. onlv - threat - rnuntv schools have enough instructors lined up for the opening of masses in a iew weeks. They are Fairhaven, Altamont elemen tary and Shevlln.- More teach ers are needed for every other school in the county' system. (Continued From Page One) with well-organized internal op position. Superficially, Germany todnv was quiet with SS and nazi officered units m oprjarently un contested control, but the leader ship of the internal opposition to tne nazis, except lor a very few gaps created by the blood purge, has remained intact, tne frontier account said. On Caught These secret sources declared the only member of the "high committee opposition" caught was (-.01. lien. i,uivie Heck taken by accident after he had been warned of impending ar rest, and that Himmler "doesn t even know who the members of the committee are." "The committee and resistance organization has existed in Ger many more than a half a year," this information said. "Mem bers include not only the mil itary but also representatives of tne uerman evangelical and Catholic churches. The attempt at Hitler's life was designed not to overthrow the nazis, for the opposition organization was well aware that it would take more than liquidation of the fuehrer to oust the nazis, but was designed to show the people of Germany that it is oossible to act acainst nmer aespite tne as and gestapo." Polish Reverses The Germans announced grave new reverses in Poland, placing the Russian army within 50 miles of Warsaw. Foreign Secre tary Anthony Eden said events inside the reich "seem to show tnat experienced German gener als have seen the writing on the. wall." By German and Rus sian accounts, three more gen erals died in action in the east and a fourth joined the swell ing ranks of those in prison cages. The German radio exhorted the home front to "mobilize to tne last strength " and asserted "no one has the right to live, not even breathe, who does not car ry arms or forge them." Recruiting Bogged The Berlin correspondent of Tidningen of Stockholm cabled the Germans had acknowledged recruiting and supply for the war fronts had bogged down be cause of "bureaucracy in the staff of the German home army," the command of which was' as sumed by Himmler shortly after a bomb scorched and scratched Hitler last week. While German army morale appeared badly shaken, there was no concrete evidence yet of any disaffection in the front lines, ine nazis clearly were sun in iirm control both of the army and of Germany itself. Pura Snreadi Reports from France pictured Adolf Hitler's purge of rebellious army officers as having spread to tne fighting fronts in Ger many, ranee and possibly Italy. These renorti said xiohr o3ci front commanders were arrested or ousted, and that gestapo agents had arrested and nnssihlv executed German divisional lead ers in France and seized Field Marshal Albert Kesserlring, the German army commander in itaiy. une- report said Gen, Johannes Blnskowitz of the Bor deaux sector in France had or dered ms troops on Monday to prepare for emergencies, hut that he later cancelled the order on learning the attempt on Hit ler's lifo had failed. Blaskowitz since has been absent from his headquarters, it was added. Churchill, now back in Brit ain after a three-day tour of the Normandy front, gave the first official allied word on the crisis in Germany. While visiting an HAr liymg field In France yes terday, Churchill declared there were grave signs of weakness in Germany. Ho predicted the war -mignt come to an end earl ler man wo have a right to say, Germans Unhappy Declaring the Germans were not happy on the fighting fronts, uiurcnui remarked: "And now, suddenly boiling up in their stomachs, has come a deadly quarrel at home.
