2 Women's Organizations
Will Lead Klamath County
To Record B BWd Quoia
Klamath county looked today
to two women's organizations to
lead it to a record E bond quota
of $1,538,000 in the Seventh War
Loan which starts next month
and ends in July,
The E bond figure is approxi
mately half a million dollars
more than any previous E bond
quota assigned this county. The
total quota of $2,947,000, how
ever, is less than the total sales
in some of the previous war bond
drives.
Rose M. Poole, just home from
her first term in the state legis
lature, is the general chairman
of the big Seventh War -Loan
drive. Her appointment, as well
as the quotas, was announced at
a dinner meeting at the Willard
hotel last night of war bond
workers of southern Oregon
counties, attended by state bond
leaders.
The Business and Professional
Women's club and the Soropti
mist club will join in the lead
ership of the Sevehth War Loan
drive, it was stated by Andrew
Collier, county war finance
chairman.
Quotas were also announced
last night for Jackson and Lake
counties, whose bond chairmen
were -present. Jackson was as
signed $1,067,000 in E bonds and
$z.0B7,U00 total. Lake s quota is
$274,000 in E's and $461,000
total. Ray Harlan, Lake chair
man, and N. H. Zachariasen,
Jackson leader, said they were
sure their counties could go over
the top.
Oregon's quota for ' the drive
is $55,000,000. Sales from April
9 to July 7 will count, giving a

PARIS, March 21 P) The
third army, continuing its spec
tacular race which has turned
the German stand in the Saar
and Palatinate into a disastrous
debacle at a cost that may
mount to 100,000 nazi casual
ties, smashed into the city of
Ludwigshafen today.
The same armored division
which has played an anonymous
role in the current drive from
the Moselle, dashed into the
twin city of Mannheim which is
one of the' greatest chemical pro
ducing centers of Germany.
Mannheim, - just across the
Rhine from Ludwigshafen, is
160 miles from Munich in the
heart of southern Germany and
75 miles from the starting point
of the offensive.. : .
But ' as elsewhere Lt. Gen.

"which connected mu.ch,-bonjb.ed

along tne itnme. .

and seventh, either were wiped
out or doomed except for shat

30,000 Naiis Captured
At. supreme headquarters, It
was estimated that the swiit
third army of Lt. Gen. George
S. Patton Jr. alone 'had -herded
an estimated. 30,000 nazis into
prison pens in 48 hours as it
and Lt. Gen. Alexander' M.
Patch's seventh army closed
new traps which might boost
the overall total of captured in
the whirlwind , campaign . to
75.000.-
The seventh army, driving up
from the southern oases of tne
Saarland and Palatinate, did not
even tabulate its prisoners be

Cities such as Saarbruecken,
