TWO HERALD AND MEWS BULL HALSEY (Continued From Pago One) wa, about 80 miles northeast of the capital. With no opposition, the results were devastating. Coast Plants Hit Associated Press Correspon dent James Ltndsley, with the U. S. third fleet, reported that an engineering works, a steel Dlant. a copper refinery and an arms factory along the coast were destroyed. He said the fleet was within range of enemy fighter planes for many hours but that they failed to appear. Adm. Chester W. Nlmlti in announcing the British battle ship King George V and the 45,-000-ton OSS Iowa were among the attackers, had mentioned onlv the Hitachi area, which contains vital copper smelters as well as concentrated aircratt, electrical and engine plants. Rail Target Llndsley reported the rail and factory center of Takahagi near Hitachi also was a target as the great battlewagons opened tire. Despite an overcast sky which hindered aerial observation, ships' crews were able to watch the flashes of their big shells landing amidst enemy war plant .buildings. The thunder of their explosions drifted back clearly on the wind. Shells from the big King George V and lesser escorting warships of the British Pacific fleet were the first fired from British guns against the home land of Japan. The two-hour bombardment followed a day-long attack yes terday on the Tokyo area by 1500 British and American car rier pilots, launched from flat tops of a combined fleet greater than any the world had seen. In command is Adm. William F. Halsey Jr. Close to Shore . Correspondents with the fleet said the bombarding ships steamed deliberately within six miles of shore during the attack. They broke radio silence at that time so that their exact loca tion must have been known to J japan, jvevertneless, there was no opposition. "It is vitally necessary that we . preserve our strength," the Jap anese Domel agency said a few hours later. "We must not move until the time is ripe." Results of yesterday's carrier , assault have not been received. A Tokyo broadcast last night merely acknowledged the raids, giving no details of damage in flicted. . Carrier sweeps over the same area July 10 destroyed or damaged 342 Japanese planes, and fresh attacks on northern Honshu and Hokkaido July 14 and 15 sank or damaged 374 ships.

POTATOES UP Lumber shipments out of Klamath Falls for June, 1945, have slipped Delow June. 1944. figures while potato shipments for last month show a definite increase over the previous year according to car loading figures of the Southern Pacific railroad. There were 2334 cars of lum ber shipped in June and. al though this is 198 cars short of 1944, it shows an increase of 107 cars over May, 1945. The reason for the decrease in lum ber shipments as given by Lloyd S. Stitt. district freight and pas senger agent, is the curtailment of lumber and sawmill oper ations and the shortage of lum ber workers. Sixty-nine cars of potatoes were shipped in June. 1945, as compared with 14 cars in June, 1944. This increase is due to a potato movement out - of cold storage. Hay, grain, and livestock ship ments are about equal to ship ments at this time last year.

Grain planted on higher ground than some of the leased acreages stood the prolonged wet weather in May better than that planted on low ground where drainage was poor. Quality promises to be as good as that grown last season. A total of 25,000 acres were planted this spring on Tulelake. .Buyers representing several companies have been here sur-. veying the crop.
