A German broadcast said fighting of the bitterest sort raged east of Dresden between the Bober and Neisse rivers. The Germans said Marshal Gregory K. Zhukov poured men into the front east of Berlin and that the storm "will break soon." A Moscow dispatch said red army movements now might be aimed at some of the most im portant consolidations of the war. " Continue Raids Allied planes rumbled over Germany in a continuation of the offensive which has put a daily average of 1280 planes over the relch for a week. Dur ing the night British heavies at tacked oil and chemical plants, and yesterday Italy-based bomb ers hit the Vienna area. The great railyards and loco motive repair shops at Nuern berg, 90 miles north of Munich, were struck today by 900 Fly ing Fortresses, escorted by some 700 fighters, in the eighth straight day of the air offensive. While Gen. H. D. G. Crerar's forces threatened the gateway to the industrial Ruhr, U. S. third army men in the center of the western front hacked out new gains, and the U. S. seventh army seized Auersmacher, six miles southeast of Saarbruecken, taking 1000 prisoners in a limit - ed attack in the Saar basin. .. .

Fab. 20, 1145 Franco to Take Part in Confab PARIS, Feb. 20 (A0) France definitely intends to participate in the San Francisco conference on world security, and there never has been any question of her refusing a place at the unit ed Nations table, Quai D'Orsay officials said today. The French, however, are withholding acceptance pending a complete study of all possible angles of the full report on de cisions made by the Big Three, particularly concerning occupa tion of Germany, zones of occu pation, and practical operation of the European charter. E (Continued From Page One) inished insofar as is necessary to take care of the needs of the Klamath. Legal Doctrine William Uanong, attorney for the Klamath Irrigation district and a representative of the chamber of commerce at the hearing, asked Colonel Moore what the nature of the guarantee would be. Ganong pointed to the legal doctrine under which he who first applies water to a beneficial use acquires vested rights therein. He said that un der diversion, Central Valleys would undoubtedly use Klamath water before Klamath irrigation lands could be expanded to make full use of it. Colonel Moore, after consult ing engineers, said that the only guarantee would lie in the fact that the prior rights of the Klam ath would be written into a re port which presumably would be adopted by congress. He said he could not promise what congress would do, nor make any promises against future amendments of any law. passed. Dependable Plan "The only guarantee we can depend on is to keep all of Klamath water within the Klam ath watershed," declared Sena tor Collier, who told the engi neers his California committee will go on record against the diversion. He promised "we in tend to put every possible ob stacle in your way," and charged that the current study is the forerunner to an attempt to de velop a river authority of the TVA variety in this area. A. M. Thomas, of the enter prise Irrigation district, touched also on the guarantee question in an emphatic statement which concluded that "we want no part" of this plan. sJiTvrsixiva innrnii Thomas pointed out that it would be impossible to secure appropriations to etiectuate tne plan without assurance that a set amount of water would be diverted. He asserted that Klam ath and Sacramento interests are diverse and that Klamath would be forced into an "un equal partnership" if the great Central valley had a "shade of a Tight to our water." He said that nothing could be said or written that would "convince us that the ultimate result of such a partnership would at best greatly retard the development of this project, at worst, prevent it altogether." Jenkins described the chang ing economy of the Klamath ba sin and the increasing import ance of agriculture here. He said there is a fear here of the results of a diversion that would commit any part of Klamath water to another watershed, and pointed to the probable po litical power of Central Valley in case of a conflict over water rights. He voiced concern also over the possibility of a valley authority. Drought Periods Jenkins, local publisher and chairman of the chamber's land use committee, said that it is claimed here that more than 600,000 acres may ultimately be brought under irrigation in the Klamath basin. He said that rainfall records of the area are not sufficient to insure against long drought periods, and that tree-ring evidence and historical data show such periods have oc curred. The chamber spokesman de scribed the experience of Owens Valley, California, which went dry when Los Angeles took its water, and said that local people fear some such ultimate catas trophe here if all available is not assured for all time for the Klamath watershed. The hearing recessed at noon, but the bulk of testimony was scheduled for the afternoon. Many government agencies, both state and federal; are represent ed. Numerous resolutions were presented at the opening of the hearing, including one by the Klamath Indian agency. Cali fornia Oregon Power company filed a letter declaring its oppo sition to the schemes presented. Classified Ads Bring Results.

SHERIFF'S OFFICE (Continued From Page One) of the grand jury's report sub mitted to tne court: Jury's Report We, the Klamath county grand jury, wish to make the following report and recommen dations: We have made an investiga tion of the institutions of Klam ath county with reference to the storage of narcotic drugs and other medicines not classed as harmful drugs, and we recom mend that the county health of ficer establish a book in each institution in which shall be kept a record of all such drugs and medicines; that in such book shall be entered the date and time the dosage is given, the name of the person to whom it is administered, the reason for administering such drug, the name of the person ordering such administration, and the signature of the person giving such drug. We also recommend that all druggists use more care in the re-filling of prescriptions con taining drugs for which pre scriptions are required. We . further : recommend that all habit forming drugs and drugs obtainable only upon pre scription be administered to pa tients in all city and county in stitutions only upon direct or der of a physician.

We recommend that a sheriff or deputy be present when the grand jury makes a return to court, in the. event tne snerin or deputy is not present at such time, we recommend that he be called and that he report at once to perform such duties as may be required. This grand jury feels that the failure to serve a warrant in an indict ment recently returned has been to the detriment of law enforce ment in Klamath county.

It is also recommended that the facilities of the telephone and other means of communica tion be made available to pris oners in all city and county in stitutions for the purpose of permitting them to contact par ents or friends to obtain bail or witnesses. This grand jury has lnvesti eated the matter of state vs. Archie Ole Davig, and feels that at this time there is not suffi cient evidence to hold the man to answer to an indictment in the circuit court and have, therefore, returned a not true bill. However, it is the recom- re-submitted either to this grand that when additional evidence may be found that the case be re-sumbitted either to this grand Loosen Asthma Mucus Sleep Fine Say rheafanrf of Sufferers If ehoklng, gasping, whteslng, rseurrlng attacks of Bronchial Asthma rob you of aiep and energy, accept tblt liberal trial offer.
