things in store for the Japanese.
More than a million tons of war
cargo were delivered from Eu
rope to the Pacific before May
10. "Tough and realistic" train
ing was promised to acquaint Eu
ropean veterans with what they
will be up against in the Pacific,
and extensive- retraining of
bomber crews to augment B-29
forces was indicated.
Japanese broadcasts admitted
fires were still burning in south
ern Tokyo hours after the last
waves of Superforts hit today.
Direct hits, some setting off ex
plosions, were reported in the
target area, including the Shina
gawa railway marshalling yards
through which a third of Japan's
rail traffic passes, and one of the
most important sections of Nip

Some cases are so serious (like
the rubbled cities of Europe)
that you have to DESTROY
COMPLETELY before you can
rebuild. Germany is destroyed
more completely than any mod
ern nation ever was before.
The job now is to rebuild her
into something like HUMAN
form.
BECAUSE of this talk of an
impending meeting of the
Big Three, you should keep the
political status of Britain clear
in your mind.
. Churchill resigned as premier
of Britain's wartime coalition
government and was promptly
put back as premier of the in
terim "caretaker" government
that will carry on until the par
liamentary election on July 5.
At that time (it is assumed) if
hi Conservative Darty loses con
trol of parliament to the Labor
party he win De uux ior gooa.
If the Conservatives win. it is as
sumed that Churchill will be re
appointed premier. ,
"N our own home political
front. President Truman
makes three more changes in his
cabinet
Schwellenbach of Washington
(state) succeeds Mrs. Perkins as
labor secretary, Clark of lexas
succeeds Biddle as attorney-general
and Anderson of New Mex
ico -succeeds Wickard as secre
tary of agriculture.
This writer never heard of
Clark and Anderson and knows
of Schwellenbach in only the
vaguest way and regards that
as a HOFtrUL, eiun. weve
had too many supermen, and
need a little time to catch our
breath. Maybe these new ap-
Dointees of Truman s are so in
significant that they will have
an average, common, everyday
American viewpoint.

the two a good half hour to re
move Karnes who suffered from
shock, body bruises and a bad
gash on the left side of the face.
Karnes was carried by truck
to Klamath Agency where the
Klamath Ambulance Service
moved him to Hillside hospital.
Late today. Karnes was re

he planned to visit the William

caused by heavy rains.

farm land, not cropped last
year.
Tops Last Year
Elevation of water in the
sump is now 4034.0 feet, or
about nine inches above the
level at the same date last year.
The bureau has been pumping
to capacity through the .tunnel

er than, at this time last year.
Rain has severely aggravated
the situation here, with the in
flow into the sump continuing
at high volume. Stephens said
that it is not planned to cut the
dike to flood the Tulana farm
lands, but the discharge water
will be turned onto that land,
preventing it from going into
the sump.
Pumps To Aid
Stephens pointed out that the
Ady pumping system at Klam
ath straits, construction of
which has just started, will be
extremely helpful in preventing
future situations of this nature.
The Ady pumps will boost wa
ter out of the Lower Lake basin
Into Klamath river. If the
pumps were operating now,
they would be used to relieve
the water volume in the Tule
and Lower Klamath systems,
and might have presented the
sacrifice flooding.
The unprecedented rainy
weather here affects the excess
water situation in a' number of
ways. It not only means more
water falling from the sky on
to the project, but in wet,
cloudy weather, evaporation
la greatly reduced.
Inflow into the sump has
risen steadily In recent years.
This table shows sump inflow
in acre feet for the last four
years:
1944 83,990
1943 77,210
1942. 64,760
1941 69,520
Stephens said that last year's
heavy inflow was due in part
to the more intensive farming
throughout the area, and par
tially to less efficient handling
of irrigation water due to man
power shortage.

panions, all in civilian clothes,
were arrested.
Not Hecognised
Himmler, u n r e c o g n i i c d,
passed on to the field security
police at Westcrtinke with his
ooayguards.
Then tne captive requested an
interview witn the camp com
mander. At the interview he
dramatically disclosed his iden
tity by removing his eye shield
and putting on li is glasses.
Later the identitication was
confirmed beyond doubt by
counter intelligence officers
from Gen. Dempsey's headquar
ters. I
In order to check against the j
possibility of concealed poison,
Himmler was stripped much
against his will and thorough
ly searched.
Blanketed
There was no violence when
Himmler was stripped, although
the SS chief Drotested orally.
Since the civilian clothes he was
wearing had been confiscated
and there were no others avail
able he was given three choices:
to remain stripped, wear British
battle dress, or wrap himself in
blankets.
He decided to wrap himself in
blankets.
Before the interrogation
Himmler had been separated
from the two SS men he insisted
uoon calling his adjutants. Both
of them are now being held un
der very close arrest,
riemoved
After the interview and iden
tification, the blanket-wraoped
Himmler was taken in an intelli
gence officer's car from the
camp to Lueneberg, where a
house was set aside for his con
finement. It was arranged as soon as
possible on Wednesday night for
a medical officer to carry out a
further inspection the fourth
since Himmler's arrest, to verify
that he was not concealing any
poison.
He was made to strip again.
The examination was thorough.
Himmler's feet, hands, h i s
whole body, limbs and the back
of his ears were examined..
Opens Mouth
He was then asked to open his
mouth and roll his tongue
around. . ..
This action was not satisfac
tory to the medical officer, who
brought Himmler forward to the
light, and told him to open his
mouth again. -
When the doctor put one fin
ger inside Himmler's mouth.
Himmler gave a quick shake of
his head and dropped uncon-
m;ious on ine xioor. -
