Jap Warships
Caught Near
Manila, Sunk
U. S. PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUARTERS, Pearl Harbor,
Nov. 7 (ff')-Bix warships of Japan's sea-shy fleet were caught
near Manila and sunk or damaged Sunday (Philippines time), by
Hellcats, Helldivers and Avengers of the U. S. third fleet.
The raid, just disclosed by the nary, raised to at least 66 the
total enemy warships sunk or damaged since Gen. Douglas Mac-
Arthur landed October 20 in the central Philippines.
Striking at a mustering point for counterblows against Mac
Arthur's invasion scene, the carrier planes definitely sank a sub
chaser, probably sank a heavy cruiser, damaged a light cruiser
and three destroyers and wiped : :
out nearly 200 enemy aircraft
in day and night attacks.
The sub chaser went down
off the southeast coast of Luzon.
The other five were caught by
surprise in Manila bay. - The
big cruiser was enveloped in
flames and started sinking after
being hit several times by
bombs and torpedoes.
Airfields Devastated
Equally important in relation
to the invasion operations on
Leyte, the. Clark, . Batangas,
Lipa, Legaspi and. Lubang air
fields were devastated. These
fields, together with others.un
der attack bv MacArthur's land'
based bombers on Ccbu " and
Negros, have been springing a.ir
attacks against Yank-air bases
and docks on Leytci -.
-Fifty-eight out of 80 Nippon
ese planes were shot out of the
sky over Clark field by day and
three more at night. Twenty
five enemy planes were shot
down ' elsewhere over Luzon
and five while seeking to at
tack the carriers.
More than 100 . enemy air
craft were wiped out on the
ground. .
Littlt Fight Shown By Nips
The Japanese air force show
ed less and less fight as the day
wore on. Only light opposition
was met o v e r Manila while
heavy- blows were struck at
shipping in the harbor. Several
cargo ships also were damaged.
"Our losses have not yet been
rerjorted. . : Adm. Chester w
Nimitz . said. .in a communique
late - yesterday which- disclosed
the raid. ;
. (Tokvo-radio said 300 Ameri
can planes staged the attack. It

Klamatl, basin due
to tho pine beetle infestation be
ing one of the most critical of
forest devastation in tho north
west," Having tried burning, drown
ing, electricity treatment, pene
trating oils, parasites and every
other known Insect destroyer,
Keen has developed his own so
lution for preserving tho pines
from tin. beetle loggers. It has
been tried by Weyerhaeuser and
on "treated" areas, covering
some 5000 acres, Keen reports
this year, "practically no beetle

treated areas his bectlo Infesta
tion kill for 1D44 still is 25 trees
per section despite an all tline
low for the 23-year period.
His solution to the beetle prob
lorn is the salvaging of sus
copllblo trees prior to infesta
tion. In his own words, "Wo
pretty well know which trees
the beetles will attack so let's
beat them to those trees and sal
vage tho log."
Keen's charts show tho last
heavy epidemic of beetles In
1032. Since then the infestation
dropped to R low In-1937.. A
modornto increuso was noted in
1038, '39 and '40 with a decline

trees are more vigorous and less

QUARTERS, Philippines, Nov.
7 (p) American battle veter
ans, already four miles south of
Carlgara Bay, continued an un
checked advance today through
Japanese mountain defenses on
the twisting highway toward
Ormoc and the finale of the
Leyte island campaign,
Ormos, last Japanese strong
hold on the island, was 16 miles
away, after the determined 24th
division beat off three night
counterattacks and punched be
yon Limon, on the mountain
pass road.
Well-equipped Japanese rein
forcements were somewhere
along the shell-raked highway
throuBh Ormoc valley, waiting
perhaps to launch a final at
tack which is expected to pro
duce some of tho campaign's
fiercest battling.
While these fresh troops wait-
cd, Infantrymen ot tne original
Japanese garrison swarmed
from strong hill positions in
three fanatical, banzia charges
against tho American perimeter
four miles from the coast.
All were repulsed bloodily,
without denting tho American
lines.
The Yanks were driving
through Japanese positions in
what today's communique term
ed "favorable defense terrain."
Long-rnngo artillery aided the
advance, pounding tho Nippon
ese along tho valley and in Or
moc. The southern end of tho Or
moc trap presumably also was
closing tighter, although the
communiquo made no mention
of the 7th division, which was
some 12 miles south of the port
city at last report.

Klamath voters, apparently in

Favorable weather conditions
prevailed, but it was high inter--est
in the national election that
was obviously attracting an un
usually large voting volume.
Total voter registration in the
county is 21,268, and it ap
peared that possibly 70 per cent
of these voters would mark theif
ballots before 8 p. m. this eve?
ning, poll closing time. .
Heavy Vote
Precinct 6, voting at the First
Presbyterian church, reported
108 ballots cast at 1 p. m. today.
Precinct 27, voting at the resi
dence of Dr. Peter Rozendal on
Crescent avenue, had 77 votes
at that time. The vote in pre
cinct 22, voting at the Balsiger
garage, was 96 at noon. These
are scattered indications of R
heavy vote. ;
Counting boards went to work:
at 1 p. m., instructed to count 1

Marine Corps History Outdates That of United States
Founded 169 years ago by an
act of tho Continental Congress,
tho United Slates marine corps
Is celebrating its anniversary
Friday, November 10, as the na
tion's oldest military force.
Leathernecks stationed at the
Barracks here will observe the
birthday with appropriate cere
mony, holding an open house
for the public beginning at 3
p. m, Friday. A program is be
ing arranged, and a parade at
4:15 will wind up events for
the public. . .
Long History
The history of tho marine
corns, extending further back
than that of the United States
as a nation;. Is typified by the
traditional ncroism ana gallant
ry of the corps. From the small
beginning in 1775, when Major
Nicholas began recruiting men
at Tun's Tavern in Philadel
phia, leathernecks have seen ac
tion on every battlefront of the
world in which the United
States has participated.
Sometimes known as the "po
licemen of the world," leather
necks have been stationed in
such far-flung outposts as Shang
hai, Nicaragua, Haiti, Santo
Domingo, Peking, Cavite, the
Philippines and Ireland, where a
special detachment serves as the
Londonderry guard.
During World War 1, these
"soldiers of the sea" saw action
In the historic bloody battles of
Bellcau Wood, Meuse, Argonne
forest, and Chateau-Thierry. For
their gallant action, marines of
the fifth and sixth regiments
were awarded an olive green
fourragcre by the people of
France.
In on Beginning
In the present war, marines
saw action on tho first day of
the Japanese attack, when the
Nipponese struck at Pearl Har
bor by air.
On December 9, 1941, Jap
f round forces landed on Luzon,
n the Philippines, where they
met fierco resistance by the
guardian marines. When Manila
fell on January 2, 1942, these
Americans retired to uataan ana
there continued to harass ene
my forces, seeking to gain a
foothold.
Battle of Bataan
' Desnite heavy odds against
them, they held out doggedly
until April 8, Then those who
survived escaped from Bataan
under the protection of the guns
on Corrcgidor, where they land
ed and held out until the 6th
of May brought an end to their
organized resistance.
These men, members of the
famed fourth marines, had been
stationed in China until war
threatened, when they moved
to-cavite, and later to Bataan
and Corregidor, where most of
their members were to die. Last
official reports from these devil
dogs were that they were' fight
ilng, although hopelessly out
numbered, with rifles, bayonets
and fists against the oncoming
sons of tne Hlsing sun.
