It was stated that with less than
two weeks remaining,, several

: Locally, a great deal of con
cern has been aroused as to the
seeming lack of any evident en
thusiasm. Klamath county,
which is one of 10 in the state
with the highest quota in this
drive, is in the "big ten" ship
launching contest. The first of
these counties to go over the top
will be privileged to launch a
new ship in its name. Klamath
stands fourth on the list, with
35 per cent of the quota to be
completed.
There seems to be a great lull
in the competitive moves of the
counties to date, Klamath coun
ty has exceeded its quota in the
six previous drives, and with
more than a lot of cooperation
from bond purchasers, they can
do it again, officials said.

By DANIEL DE LUCE
MONTGOMERY'S HEAD
QUARTERS. June 20 (P) A
German policeman from Berlin
said today he saw the bodies of
Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun
burning at the exit to the rcichs
chancellery shelter on May 1.
(This is another of a series
of reports and rumors concern
ing the fate of Hitler which
started before the fall of Ber
lin. Marshal Zhukov told allied
correspondents in the German
capital June 9 that "we have
found no corpse that could be
Hitler's" and suggested the
fuehrer had had a good oppor
tunity to escape by air with
Eva Braun, his companion in
the siege).
Hermann Karnau, 32, the po
liceman, told allied, correspon
dents: "I saw Hitler' lying on
the ground about two meters
from the' exit, in open air.-
Bodies Burning
: "Hitler was on his back with
his knees slightly drawn up.
Eva Braun was beside him with
her face down. Both bodies
were on fire and beside them
were four empty gasoline cans.
There was an incredible odor.
"I turned about and encoun
tered Prof. Stumpfecker, chief
medical officer of the chancel
lery, at the main entrance to
the bunker. I believe he poi
soned the fuehrer and Fraulein
Braun,. for four nights earlier
he had nolsoned the fuehrer's
favorite Alsatian dog, Blondie.
'I entered the bunker, whicn
was 20 meters deep under
ground, and met Hitler's valet,
Linge."
' Enemy Near .
Karnau declared: "We had
heard that L 1 n g e had orders
that the fuehrer's body should
never fall into the hands of the
enemy, who were then about
two kilometers away at the
Hollisches Tor, and shelling us
heavily.
"In the bunker I met Sturm
bahnf euhrer Schedule, of the
fuehrer's personal staff, coming
down the emergency exit. He
was calling out: 'The fuehrer
is dead and burning.'
"With another policeman I re
turned to the spot where the
bodies lay. The lower parts of
both were burned away, but I
recognized Braun by the black
suede shoes with high cork
soles, which had not yet caught
fire."
