Of Bounds for
Naval Personnel
SAN FRANCISCO, July 28 VP)
The navy announced without ex
planation today that the entire
city of Sacramento had been de
clared "out of bounds" for all
marines, coast guard and navy
personnel excepting tnose on au
thorized leave.
Fifteen shore patrol men and
one officer were "on their way
to Sacramento to handle the sit
uation."
"I knew that some kind of rig
had hit the house, but I didn't
know what until 1 went to the
door and saw what had hap
pened," said Charlie Walters, oc
cupant of the house which was
hit by tne ureynouna dus as it
crashed to a slop Thursday nignt.
Mr. and Mrs. Walters, living
at 2102 Oregon avenue, were in
bed when the whole house shook
and the side of their bedroom
was knocked in. The foundation
of the house was broken and one
window, a railing on the porch
and the front steps were also
damaeed.
"The whole house shook and
even the people next door said
that their place was shaken," said
waiters in aescriDing tne teeiing
when his home was hit.
Mrs. Walters was taken to
Klamath Valley hospital where
she was treated for shock, but
she was later returned to her
home.
Walters is employed by H. E.
Hauger's Buick garage.

Przemysl was the scene of two
bitter sieges by the czar's armies
in the First World war when
they fought for 41 months to
take the city in a second attempt.
It fell today with its supporting
strongpoint, Jaroslaw, 21 .miles
to tne nortnwest, atter tne soviet
forces had stormed across the
San river on a broad front.
Premier Stalin said the cap
tures blasted open the defense
covering Poland s fifth city. Kra
kow; 120 miles to the west in
southwestern Poland.
Record
The record snluree of victories:
1. Przemysl, just north of the
Carpathians, a city of 51,000. It
was the only city to undergo pro-
longea siege Dy encirclement in
the First World war, and it was
there that the Russians captured
one oi tneir greatest single oaten-
es oi prisoners, liu.uuu.
2. Jaroslaw, a - rail c e nt e r
which the Germans said they had
evacuated a week ago.
3. Brest Litovsk, historic citv
of 50,000 on the western Bug
river, 112 miles east of Warsaw.
Railroads radiate from there to
Warsaw, all sections of East
Prussia, Moscow, Minsk and Wil-
no. There in 1818, a peace treaty
in the last war removed revolt
torn Russia from belligerent al
lied ranks.
4. Lwow, third city of old Pol
and and one of Europe's greatest
rail centers, toppled last night
after days of street fighting. The
city of 3,117,700 is on the Bucharest-Warsaw
- Berlin railroad
and was a barrier to Czechoslo
vakia and Hungary. Moscow's Iz-
vestia said Ijwow still was burn
ing from German demolition and
that "dozens of thousands of in
nocent people had been slam in
a nazl reign of terror.
5. Siauliai. third city of Lith
uania with 31,299 persons, fell
last night. Thus the last major
railway was cut by which the
estimated 300,000 troops of the
30 divisions of the German 16th
and 18th armies could escape or
be supplied.
6. Daugavpils, third city of
juaxzia wun o,iou population.
7. Bialystok. 110 miles north.
east of Warsaw, which has long
