Three Incendiary fires have

Venus, Not Jap
Balloon, Appears
The planet Venus, hanging in
the bright mid-day sky, had
hundreds of Klamathitcs out
gawking today, and there was
widespread belief that the white
object in the sky must be some
kind oi balloon.
According to A. B. Epperson
amateur astronomer, Venus
hangs due south at 10 a. m. The
reason it is so visible at this time,
it is at Its brightest point because
it is at its greatest angular dis
tance from the sun. It is 45 de
grees west of the sun this time
of year, but not quite as high
in tho heavens as the sun. It
Is approximately 60 degrees
above the horizon.
Many observers said they saw
it moving rapidly and some said
they saw something hanging
from It.

A late afternoon showdown

Captured; Sdys
Fuehrer Is Dead
By DANIEL DE LUCE - "
FIELD MARSHAL MONTGOMERY'S HEADQUARTERS.
Germany, June 15 (IP) Nazi Foreign Minister Joachim von Rib
bentrop was captured yesterday as he slept nude in a Hamburg
boarding house, bringing to a close the most intensive manhunt
in Europe since V-E Day.
Von Ribbentrop, understood to be wanted by the governments
of at least 10. nations to stand trial for war crimes,1 was' the last
top-ranking nati known to be alive who had eluded capture.
A metal can of poison was found strapped to his body, but he
surrendered this voluntarily."
The dandified former -champagne salesman who became the
engineer of Hitler's arrogant foreign policy,' had been hiding in
Hamburg since April 30. The man who had imposed his diplo
matic will on Europe had not a friend in all of Germany's second
largest cuy wno would assist t
him actively in obtaining al . . .

place of refuge.
Von Ribbentrop volunteered
the information that he had in
tended to hide until British feel
ing about him died down, and
then attempt to save his life in
a trial. He went to a wine mer
chant friend, he said a man
who had known him 25 years.
The merchant shunned him. Von
Ribbentrop, using the name of
"Riese," got lodging with an
unsuspecting ' landlady.

brunette divorcee and

on a "mission from tne dead

was disclosed ' officially to
night after- the former . Ger
man foreign minister was captured.
The same wine merchant was
brought to British intelligence
headquarters late yesterday and
there pointed out his erstwhile
friend. But : identification was
made even more: certain.
; By' keeping the arrest secret
over'night,' British sleuths who
had tailed Von Ribbentrop
across much of western Ger

ter. Today in a tearful and hys
terical scene she identified the
foreign minister.
Ribbentrop first had been
traced to an area of northern
Germany near, the Danish fron
tier, where he was known to
have passed in disguise. The
story, as released today, did not
bare what had happened to him
between the time he left Berlin
and the time he arrived in Ham
burg. Ribbentrop was taken under
guard in an RAF transport
plane from the Lueneberg air
field at 12:30 p. m. to be inter

Superforts set fire to Osaka

today as Gen. H. Arnold prom

stepped up to a rate of 2,000,
000 tons a year, making Japan
"a terrible place to live in."
Japanese ground forces began
to- crack up on Okinawa, fled
on Borneo, and withdrew on
two vital China fronts, but still
fought stubborn delaying ac- '
tions in the Philippines. - .
' American military leaders
were quoted in Washington as
expecting that "either Japan will
surrender within the next 90
days or -the war will be of long
duration a matter v of ' attri

Rep. Cannon (D-Mo.), chairman
of the house appropriations com

' General Arnold, chief of army
forces on- a tour of Superfort
bases in the Marianas, said "We

which will wreak "utter de

. In about two weeks, he prom
ised, power of their attacks will
be stepped up to 2,000,000 tons
a year. . This means -that every
two weeks the Superforts will

E Bond Sales
Behind Schedule
WASHINGTON, June 15 (JF)
Ted R. Gamble, director of the
treasury's war finance division,
reported today that E-bond sales
in the 7tn war ioan are aooui
10 per cent behind schedule.
' Gamble- appealed to all war
finance committees to step up
E bond sales activity, and to re
port the prospect of wiping out
what he described as the "small
deficit."
Sales -to Individuals now total
$5,510,000,000, or 78.7 per cent
of the quota;
E-bond sales, however, are
lagging with 62.4 per cent of the
$4,000,000 quota reached, mo
E-bond sales total $2,496,000,000.
Thrift Carried Too Far
Every other-kid in" the neighborhood had a 15-cent sailor
hat and a 68-cent pistol except one.freckle-faced. 9-year-old boy.
His allowance is 25 cents week and he had saved up over a
dollar.
- He asked his parents if he could have enough of his sav
ings to purchase the direly needed articles, but the verdict
was no, that he should save his money. ' . : . ,
The youngster, finally, decided to take matters Into his
own hands. After attending summer' Bible school on Wednes
day he stole the hat and pistol and was apprehended. -
. With tears streaming down his face he told Juvenile au
thorities here that he knew he had done wrong, but that he
just had to have a hat and pistol like the other kids. He still
.wants them. ' :
