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.

west of Kweilin, while other
Chinese troops have closed in

The enemy troops were sur

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.
