Before daybreak, swarms of medium and light bombers had worked over tho Germans' de fenses on the eastern Rhine bank. Even before that, pilots said the whole great Muenstcr box north of the Ruhr was a land of death, with towns blaz ing like funeral pyres and roads without a sign of movement. After the first wave of trans port planes sped over the south ern English coast there was a pause, and men another Huge wave of gliders came, towed by British Sterling bombers. Vet erans of the cave Cliffs of Dover who had withstood bomb ings, shcllings, robot bombings and the fear of invasion, watch ed the armada black out the sun. Tho thunder of bombers across the channel shook houses. Tho U. S. eighth ' air force sent 1050 Fortresses and Liber ators and 850 fighters against the nazi airfields, and jet-plane bases, ahead of Montgomery's operations. These were In the area of Achmer, Vechta, Vech tol, Rhcinc, Hesepe, Nordhorn, Steenwijk, Zwischenahn, Plant lunne, Varrelbusch and Varrel. Fighters fanned out, shooting up targets of opportunity. A huge force of British heavy bombers smashed at the north ern Ruhr during the night, and pilots declared whole towns and villages were "burning like torches. Fifty-three spots in the Ruhr area Hammered repeatedly dur ing the last three days were blasted for more than an hour today, starting at 8 a. m. by 400 Maarauders and Havocs of the U. S. ninth bombardment divi sion. The British-based allied air fleets crossed the English coast in mass formation bigger than any one armada that supported D-day landings in Normandy last June 6.

Bslljt Smithy Saturday, March 24, 194S HERALD AND NEWS THREE - By LOIS STEWART Klamath Falls need bend its knee to no man as far as music in the city schools is concerned. evidence of lust what a long range music program means was presented Thursday and Friday nights in Klamath Union high 3Chool auditorium when the music department of KUHS appeared in the annual spring concert. Packed houses both niehts greeted, the youngsters who per formed like professionals, worked like beavers, and as a result eave to the admlrine friends, parents, and just plain music lovers, iwo evenings oi the finest entertainment possible. Evcrv Derson in the audience last night, and the same must have been, true of Thursday, (even those sitting in the aisles), found music to their liking. In strumental numbers, the lovely blending of voices, the thrilling tones of the a cappella choir, straight through to the stirring strains of martial music, com bined to deliver on a silver platter a program which even overshadowed last year's performance. ' The evening opened with John Best directing the orches tra which introduced "Hillbilly" from the suite "Americana," by Morton Gould. This was espe cially well accepted although many responded to the excel lent performance of the Brahms favorite, "Hungarian Dance No. 5," Steve Stone in a trombone solo, "Loves Enchantment and Marjorie Huskinson. in a tenor saxophone solo, both ac companied by Barbara Zinn at the piano, gave outstanding per formances and were instances of the splendid individual work as accomplished by students of the music department. . -Right here should be given a plug for Barbara Zinn who has faithfully accompanied groups and individuals for the past two years. Last night and Thursday, Barbara", was given a spot of her own when she turned in a beautiful job as piano soloist with the. concert band. Her work in "LaRou gette," by Bennett, was profes sional. Five numbers by the Girls' Glee club, also directed by John Best of the music, department, were done in high style and of fered a wide range of favorites. Louise Reed was an excellent accompanist. The robed a capnella choir. of which Klamath Falls is so rightly proud, was greeted .with a round of aDDlause. ODenine with "Tenebrae Factae Sunt" and closing with the encore, "Gloria. In Excelsis," the choir performed with an artistry rarely found among high, school students. Andrew Loney Jr.,- di rector of music in the: schools, directed this group. The young sters, who sing for the love of singing, compare with anything in the state of Oregon. Their When Johnny Comes March ing Home," a spirited number and sung with musical appetite, was new to the audience and thoroughly relished. Alyce wells, vocalist, singing "I'll Get By." and Steven Stone, as student conductor, were well accepted during ' the closing numbers by the concert band. rne Dana, proDamy tne ra vorite of almost everyone in the' audience for its colorful performance, showed a remark able improvement over last vear. And last year everyone considered tne band tops. Al though each number deserves mention, "Stormy Vfeather" and Stars and Stripes Forever," march, were the two the audi ence talked about when home ward ' bound. Andy Loney's trumpets, trombones and pic colos in the march number, and the reed section in "Stormy Weather," were most effective. Giving the concert two nights was a very smart idea, and gave just twice as many people a chance to hear the-high school students. It means, more than likely, that in the future .two concerts, and perhaps three, will be necessary. . Klamath Falls need bend Its knee to no man. We'd like to see the music department In competition. But not with any town the size of ours. Probably a town maybe two or .three times biggerl EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) to have followed its planned timing like clockwork, fNCE the weather changed face and came over to our side, it seems to have gone ALL OUT for us. Not only are the skies clear for our myriad planes. The dispatches this morning report that the spring thaws are past and the ground is hardening under a BLAZING spring sun. That will provide firm ground for our tanks and our transports. THERE is high hope on our side, bolstered by the mi raculously successful beginning of Armageddon. Churchill, at Monty's head quarters when the assault Jumped off, says: "Once the river line is pierced and the CRUST of German resistance broken, decisive victory in Eu rope WILL BE NEAR." Montgomery tells his troops: "The enemy has been driven in to a corner and he cannot es cape. The complete and decisive defeat of the Germans is cer CO much for the views of the - brass at the ton. AP's Wes Gallagher, cabling from the Rhine bank this morn ing, says that for the first time the always oessimistic GIs who do the fighting and the suffer ing and the dying have the feel ing that this is IT that now we will finish them off. He adds; "There is not a man, American or British, from general to pri vate, who doesn't feel that this is the beginning of the last major battle that will bring the war to a quick end. , ' ' TT is too early to do much spec- ulating. Our minds are pos sessed at this moment .by the battle itself. ' But this is a fair guess: In stead of tackling the Ruhr front- ally, with its dozens ot cities providing opportunities tor de laying house-to-house fighting, we'll go AROUND it, on the north and on the south, in the Russian manner, joining to the east and isolating it. It seems likely that one prong of our lower Rhine offensive will turn to the left, cutting off northern Holland and wiping out the Y-bomb sites from which England is still being, harried. Another spearhead will probab ly try to drive directly across the north German plain to meet the Russians advancing west ward from the Oder's mouth. Patton. Now 'safe 1 v across the Rhine, more quickly and more cheaply than he had expected, it seems as near certain as any thing can be that he will push eastward, across southern Ger many to meet the Russians as they fight their way through Vienna and up the Danube. (Don't jump to the conclusion that all these things will tome to pass TOMORROW: They Will take .time. But the shadow of German defeat and disintegra tion is growing by the hour.) TN the Pacific, the Japs say that Mitscher's carrier planes are now attacking Okinawa, in the Ryukyus. The RyUkyus are a chain of islands stretching from the Jap homeland to Formosa, screening and protecting the en trance to the East China sea, with its mighty port of Shang hai lying at the mouth of the Yellow river which is the back bone of Jap transport in China. : There are naval and air bases on Okinawa.- AH the islands of the Ryukyus are undoubtedly heavily fortified perhaps as heavily as iwo. we areni tacK ling anything easy there.
