Group Plans Program To
Frighten Birds From Fields
Farmers and government of
ficials, meeting at Tulclakc last
night, mapped strategy against
the geese and ducks which attack
grain crops of the Klamath basin
each fall.
Scaring the birds off grain
fields with guns, planes and pos
sibly fire bombs was proposed
for meeting the problem this
fall, while the suggested long-
range program was to nttempt
block-plnnting of grain to attract
birds from the farmers' fields
to special grain plantings in the
wild-life refuges.
Tho group, which formed the
Klamath Basin Crop Protection
committee nt the meeting, rec
ommended that all interested or
ganizations write the Mddoc and
Siskiyou county war boards ask
ing for release at once of 120,
000 rounds of shotgun shells,
150,000 rounds of .22 calibre
shells, and 00,000 rounds of rifle
cartridges.
It also recommended an earlier
regular opening of the migratory
bird season to help save the
crops and give the hunters a
brenk before the fnll freeze-up.
E. E. Horn, who Is with the fish
nnd wildlife service nt - Sncra-

would work here.
Opinion also was unfavorable
to the strip planting of grain
that was done last year. Birds
moved out of the strips and
worked on the farmers' grain.
It was decided to undertake
a block system-of planting next
year. It was suggested thnt
farmers furnish the grain for
seed, the reclamation service
put in dikes and ditches, and the
fish and wildlife service provide
planting areas in the center of
refuges. These areas would
then be progressively, flooded to
help keep the birds there instead
of in the farmers' fields.
Many thousands of dollars in
damage to grain crops was re

PETAIN TRIAL
Roux Sheds New Light
On Indo-China
Question
By RELMAN MORIN
PARIS, July 27 UP) A state
witness tcstitied under cross
examination today that Marshal
Petain made an eleventh hour
attempt to save French Indo
China from Japanese aggression
by changing governor generals.
The witness, Charles Roux,
who was secretary general in
the foreign ministry, had testi
fied earlier that while France
was falling, Premier Paul Rey
naud asked President Roosevelt
to send the U. S. fleet into
action against Germany, but not
American troops.
Roux was called after form
er Premier Leon Blum accused
Petain of treason and said with
emotion that the 89-year-old de
fendant gave himself "powers
which may be compared to
those of a jungle sovereign."
States Effort
The diplomat's testimony was
the most favorable for Petain
in the five-day trial. He said
Pctain's effort to save the rich
Oriental colony consisted of re
moving Gen. Georges Catroux
as governor general, because he
was favorable to Japanese de
mands, in favor of Rear Adm.
Jean Decoux.
His statements, shedding new
light on the yielding of Indo
China to Japan, startled' the
courtroom and brougnt a smile
to the usually impassive face
of Petain. When he had fin
ished the marshal again broke
his silence and said he agreed
with everything said. Roux
shook hands with Petain as he
left the stand after the presid
ing judge had cut short his
testimony, saying the jurors
had complained that it was too
long.
Petain Is on trial for his life,
charged with intelligence with
the. enemy and plotting against
the security of France.
Charles Roux, a diplomat who
followed Blum to the stand,
said that when France was fall
ing in June of 1940. Petain's
predecessor, Paul Reynaud, ap
pealed to President Roosevelt
and "suggested that the Ameri
can fleet come into action."
Blum Testifies
Blum, released only a few
weeks ago from German deten
tion, told the high court of
justice on this fifth day of the
trial:
"The peode of France, with
the foundations of the nation
gone, terrorized and over
whelmed, looked for reassur
ance. Petain told them with all
the authority of his past that
the armistice was not dishon
orable. I call that treason."
Questioned whether Petain
was treasonable in giving him
self dictatorial powers, Blum
said.
"He gave himself powers
which may be compared to
those of a jungle sovereign. He

Air Strikes On '
Nips Imminent
Associated Press War Editor
The citizens of 11 Japanese cities were bluntly told today:
(Saturday, Japan time) In pamphlets dropped by B-2!)s that their
communities will be fire-bombed to tho ground, with tho first
four or more to be ignited within the next few days.
The unprecedented warning of coming air strikes put addi
tional punch in the allied Potsdam statement calling upon tlit
Japanese to surrender or be utterly destroyed.
Directed at 890,000 enemy civilians, the warning was issued
by Maj. Gen. Curtis Lemay, commander of the 20th air force
who sent six B-29s to spread the pamphlets over the 11 cities'
It was eloquent testimony to the American airmen's scorn of
Japan s aerial defenses.
The allies stepped up their "military time table for the defeat
of Japan today as Nipponese, choosing between the alternatives
of utter destruction or unconditional surrender offered in th9
Potsdam ultimatum, said they would fight "to the bitter end "
Rejection of the allied ultimatum , ,.c:i c
both allied and Japanese, indicated it might be mere whistling in,
the dark. B
Implementing the Potsdam
warning that Japan would be
promptly crushed, the allies arc
shifting more soldiers directly
from Europe to the Pacific than
originally anticipated, Maj. Gen.
John M. Franklin told a senate
committee.
Chinese Force
Chinese armies added their
force to the threat. In southeast
China they recaptured the wall
ed city of Yangsa, eighth for
mer u. s. airbase to be retaken,
and broke into the suburbs of
Kweilin, another airdrome city.
Other forces drawing the net
on Kweilin drove a wedge across
the Japanese escape route seven
and a half miles north of the
city and captured the highway
town of Ining for the second
time in about a week.
Bitter street fighting was re
ported in Kweilin's suburbs.
Other columns closed in on all
sides.
In northern China, Japanese
were reported contracting their
lines and pulling up railroad
tracks as they moved toward
the coast.
American bombers kept up
the pounding of the mikado's
sacred homeland during the tern
porary silence of the U. S. third
fleet. A delayed dispatch from
Associated Press Correspondent
James Lindsley with the fleet
disclosed that nine American de
stroyers knifed into Tokyo bay
itself last Sunday night and sank
two or three enemy merchant
ships from a .convoy trying to
escape raiding Yank planes.
Cabinet Meets
The Japanese cabinet, meet
ing in special session at the
residence ol Premier Suzuki,
heard Foreign Minster Shigenbri
Togo on the eight point defini
tion of unconditional surrender
issued yesterday by President
Truman, Churchill and Gener
alissimo Chiang Kai-shek.
Shortly thereafter the government-controlled
Domei news
agency said Japan wouldn't ca
pitulate. "Japan will prosecute the war
of greater Asai to the bittir
end," Domei said, "in accordance
with her fixed policy."
Japs in Reverse
This was a complete reversal
of yesterday's unprecedented ap
peal by Tokyo radio for len
iency. It ignored a recommenda
tion that Japan surrender which
was reportedly made by Gen.
Hiroshi Oshima, one of Nippon's
foremost military diplomats. As
ambassador to Germany he saw
