Work stoDoaee continued to
day at the plant of the Kesterson
lidinoer corporation.
A federal conciliator was here
in an attempt to iron out differ
ences between the management
and the IWA union, but no
tangible result was reported
after a weekend conference.
About 200 men and women have
been off the- job since the middle
of last week, halting production
of lumber in one of the larger
plants of the basin.
' Issues involved include a ques
tion as to the expiration of the
contract between the company
and the union. Trie company.
it is understood, contends the
contract has expired
The union also is demanding
that tne- company function un
der the "union maintenance"
clause of the contract The com
pany has asked whether it should
be obligated to discharge em
ployes, for failure to pay union
dues, if such discharge would
close down the operation.
A third issue has to do with
vacations, and .whether they
should, be based on a calendar
year or an April-to-Aprll year.

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

Marshal Erwin Rommel had lost
the equivalent of 10 to 15 full
divisions.
Of the 60.958 rjrisoners taken
so far, the Americans captured
50,549. In addition, the Ameri
cans said thev had huriprf snoj
Germans. Calculating on the ba
sis of five wounded to every

believed wounded on the Ameri

Renew Attacks
(The Germans reported the
British . had renewed . attacks
north and west of Troarn, six
miles east of Caen, where the
Tommies were stalled 48 hours
after-the start of Gen. 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

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

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
