TT therrforo In of vast Impor-
lance that President Truman
reportedly Is trying to secure an
agreement with Generalissimo
Stalin and Prime Minister Chur
chill that will permit American
correspondents to work freely In
Kurope. Facilities accorded
American newsmen obviously
would apply equally to the cor-
resKn(lcni o( oilier nation in
good standing.
It's high time tho outside
world knows what Is going on In
sldo Europe. Dy the same token,
tho war-tnrn continent should
be given Uib news of the rest of
the world Just as soon as feasible
t
"T'HE corollary to tho above
remarks Is that unnecessary
censorship of news Is ono of the
prime causes or misuncirrsiano
ln ainonii nations. Unfortu
natoly most of the globe now
Is under a blanket, due in part
to war conditions. Restrictions
naturally must be maintained in
matters relating to the war of the
I'scfc.
Il's of special Importance that
there be a free exchange of
news as nulckly as possible be
tween Europe and tho rest of
tho world. In the matter of
Germany, President Truman
recognized this principle as far
bark as May 13 when he de
clared thot ho favored a free
flow of Information in the
relch, consilient with military
security. This reversed an an
nouncement bv OWI Director
Elmer Davis who lind slated thBt
Information reaching the Ger
man nubile would be strictly
controlled.
EWS Is moving out of and
' Into western Europe freely
again, on tho whole. However,
central and southeastern Europe
remain under wraps for the most
part. That section of tho con
tinent Is largely under Russian
control, mid It will bo by agree
ment with Moscow that the
censorships will bo relaxed.
This presumably Is under dis
cussion nt the Potsdam confer
ence. Wo can't plnco all tho blame
for censorship on the war. There
always wero many countries
which maintained stiff censor
ships. Thai sort of thing imperils
world peace. Now Is a good
time to start taking tho lid off
tlio news. Tlic parliaments of
ninny countries today arc being
asked to deal with international
problems. How can they act
intelligently if they aro deprived
of Information about what is go
ing on? Tho easiest way to get
nn understanding of Europo's
grievous politico-economic prob
lems is to publish all tho news
nbout them.

The fire started Monday morn

Late in the afternoon six

coal was removed from the pile,
it was drenched with water. The
coal was then piled in small
piles in vacant lots. By daylight
Tuesday, 500 tons of the solid

The stockpile contained sever

Since this fuel is now scatter

Nation's Strikers Drop
To 40,000
Today
By The Associated Press
The nation's strike thermome
ter cooled off today, the number
of workers idled by labor dis
putes dropping to approximately
40,000, the lowest total in almost
a week.
There also was a forecast of
furtner reduction in the total as
steps were taken to end a work
stoppage of 11,000 employes in
200 lumber yards in the Detroit
area, and 4000 distillery work
ers in 10 plants.
Although a half dozen walk
outs ended during the past 24
hours, controversies in more
than a score of cities continued,
affecting a variety of industries.
Many of the stoppages affected
only small groups of workers,
with the largest single group be
ing the lumber yard employes
in the Detroit area.
A break appeared possible in
the dispute between operators of
the lumber yards and AFL-Car-penters
union members. The
operators advised the regional
war labor board they planned to
meet within 24 hours and that a
settlement proposal was likely.
The yards closed last week after
a strike at 12 yards over de
mands for a closed shop, unioni
zation ot foremen and waee in-
creases.. The stoppage idled 1000
yard employes- and an addition
al 10,000 outside workers.
.Bright Spot
Also on the bright side was the
possibility of the end of a four
day strike involvine between
4000 and 5000 workers in 10
plants of JoseDh E. Seaeram and

timore said an agreement had

Gordon Benson
Reported Killed
Last December
Mr. and Mrs. Steve Benson
late yesterday received a tele
gram from the war department
informing them that their son,
Lt. Gordon Benson, had been
killed last December while
boarding a boat for Japan from
the Philippines, where he was a
prisoner of the Japanese.
The . Bensons have received
numerous messages concerning
their son from individuals who
said they were sure the Japa
nese had removed him from the
islands to Japan. The war de
partment message was the first
official communication concern
ing his fate.
One army officer wrote the
Bensons that Gordon was moved
to Japan in October, ante-dating
the date given by the war de
partment for his death while en
route to Japan. This left one
ray of hope for the bereaved
parents, who are awaiting a let
ter from the war department
with further details.
Lt. Benson graduated from
Medford high school and the
University of Oregon. He was
captured on Corregidor early in
the war. His brother, Lt. Col.
Noel Benson, is on his way here
from Portland.

Nip Navy Hit
In Daylight !
Blast On (Cure
By The Associated Press
American carrier planes swarmed down In force on Jnpaneja
warships caught at anchor at the great Kure naval base today,
highlighting a day-long attack by more than 2000 land and sea
based aircraft over 300 miles of Japan's main Island.
A thousand or more naval planes struck again from the flat
top decks of Adm. William F. Halscy's third fleet, In coordination
with more than 600 Superfortresses making their greatest raid
and uncounted numbers of smaller bombers and fighters from :
Okinawa and Iwo Jima. It was perhaps the largest air force ever
to hit Japan. .
Radio Tokyo, always conservative In estimating the size of
attacking air armadas, placed their number at "some 2000 " This
figure could easily have been exceeded by aircraft from carriers
capable of sending up 1500 planes and the record formation of
B-29s, not counting hundreds of other land-based planes that
daily strike Nippon.
Tokyo admitted another rem-1
nant of the imperial fleet was
caught at anchor at Kures har
bor. An eye-witness dispatch
from Associated Press War Cor
respondent James Lindsley with
the raiding carriers told of at
least one 1000-pound bomb scor
ing a direct hit on one of the
mikado's few remaining war
ships.
Japanese broadcasts said 350
seaborne fighters, dive-bombers
and torpedo planes, striking in
iwo waves, were joined by 30
giant Sunerforts and 30 little
Mustang fighters.
Strike Back
Japanese fighters struck back
aggressively for the. first time
in the two weeks that Halsey's
great armada has been boldly
raiding the 1000 mile stretch of
the Nipponese coast. They swept
down out of the skies over Kure,
engaging the raiders in sharp
dogfights. Ships and shore anti
aircraft batteries threw un a
spectacular, vari-colored screen
ot acK-acK.
It was the second naval base
attacked by the carriers in a
week and came on the heels of
widely separated strikes bv fast
destroyer units of the third fleet
The battleships Nagato and other
warcratt were damaged at Yoko
suka naval base in Tokyo bay
in last week's raid.
Heaviest Blow
For sheer power, today's heav
iest blow was truck by more than
600 Superforts at Nagoya and
Osaka, two of Japan's four great
est industrial cities. . B-29 head
quarters said it was the greatest
force ever to take off from their
Marianas bases. -Tokyo-, said
there were more than 700. . -They
loosed 4000 tons of high
explosive bombs on the already
ravaged cities and neighboring
industrial areas in their first
daylight strike in more than a
month.
They used two-ton bombs in
blasting five vital war plants in

B-29 headquarters, announced
that the Kure naval arsenal, in
today's carrier target area, was

WASHINGTON, July 24 (IP)
New food and gasoline rationing

book five will be issued at
schools and other public build

from December 3 through 15. lt
will contain stamps for meats

At the same time and through

books will be distributed. They
will go into use December 22.
Ration book five, smaller than
a dollar bill and containing only
half as many stamps as hook
four, will be used soon after the

"The supply agencies the de

OVER SALARY RAISE
M '
A heated argument roused
members of the Klamath Falls
city council at the meeting Mon
day, following a motion by
Councilman Angus Newton, to
raise the salary of Acting Chief
of Police Orville Hamilton. v
The controversy centered
about the fact that salaries in
the fire department have been,
raised, including a $25-a-month
raise for the fire chief, bringing
his salary to $3300 per year.- It
was contended that the chief of
police and the fire chief have
always received the same sal
ary, and when city budgets werev
made up, it was voted to put the
extra money aside for the po
lice chief, leaving it up to the
council to decide when and if
it was to be used.
Hamilton was appointed act
ing chief of police by Mayor Ed
OsteVidorf, as of January 1, and-.
took office February 2, 1945, at
a salary of $3000 per year.
Acting Chief
The fact that Hamilton ha
been acting as chief for that
length of time without a regular
appointment as chief, was evi
dently a bone of contention
among councilmen. i
Rollin Cantrall spoke ve-'.. .
hemently regarding Keeping a
man "hanging in the balance",,
so long, and Newton expressed"
emphatic opinion of withhold
ing the additional ' salary from
the man serving as chief, even -without
the title of police chief.
The motion died for lack of a
second.

Monday at the lake.
Mrs. W. C. Dalton of Malin

The bomber which crashed
last winter was on a routine
