The Indians, who suffered a dis astrous week end at Ashland and Medford, are anticipating a hard battle tonight as Grants Pass was beaten by Medford last week by Only one point. If the Indians should lose tonight's game It will ho necessary that they win all of the remaining games to take the first place in district standings. ' Tho first stringers rested yes terday while the reserves worked nut against the 13 team. Coach Watts expressed fears that the team may bo "stale" as the re sult of too many games, and the players probably will be given more rest between contests. Conch Jim Watts announced that the R team game scheduled at Sutherlln tonight had been In definitely postponed. Plavers leaving for Grants .Pass today were Jim Finlnv, Earl Wlard. Poyal Denton, Paul Cacv, Charles Becklev. Bill Goodlow. Ed Hughes, Nell Sc'hrimpf and John Ness. Parking Privilege Abuse Draws Council Action (Continued from page 1) plan of n "irenllemen's agree ment, wherebv residents wore evoected to keep their vehicles off the main streets, leaving them onen for tho use of tourists and farmers. At the present time, it was claimed, the main streets are so congested with cars parked for hours at a time tbnt visitors and shonners pro unable to obtain sp"en for I heir automobiles. Unless voluntary obedience to the "eenl lemon's agreement," nrlginallv sponsored by the cham ber of commerce, Is obtained, It will be necessary In resort to strict enforcement, Mayor Young declared. Tax Snllt Opposed. The council expressed disap proval of a bill now before the legislature which would permit .the slate highway commission to use funds derived from gasoline taxes In' building paved streets for municipalities. Oregon cities for severnl years have been de manding that the gasoline tax revenues be snlit wllh the cities Instead of going entirely to the state highway deoartment, It was stated last night that the city of Portland receives a share of the receipts and that each county Is given a nortlon of the revenue. The city of Roseburg, It was stat fcrt, is forced to maintain approxi mately. 22 miles of paved streets and it was the opinion of the council that the city Is entitled to a share of the gasoline taxes In proportion to I he amount paid in by residents of the city. The bill now before the legisla ture as a compromise to permit the commission to build streets in municipalities Is objectionable In several respects, it was explained. Mayor Young said, "we can build two blocks of pavement for the same amount of money the high way commission would spend on one." The bill, It was slated, gives the commission authority to build tho streets but docs not re iiulre them to do so, nor does it require that the work he distribut ed proportionately, thus permit ting one cllv to be favored above another. The city attorney was Instructed to prepare a resolu tion pulling the council on record ns Insisting up on a division of the revenues with the municipali ties. Mill Held Negligent. Tho city attorney and chief of j police were Instructed to take im-1 mediate slops In connection with; complaints regarding conditions nt the Metzger mill. It was charg ed that the mill company has been ! given repeated warning against ; piling lumber on curbs and park ings and has been Instructed to ; keep sidewalks clear and clean, hut these warning and Instruc tions have been disobeyed. A recommendation by the com- millec on electric lights that a street lamp be installed at Bowen nnd Chapman streets In Laurel wood was approved. Sale of a lot at Roberts nnd Cobb streets to Kenneth Ellison ! for $250 was approved, and the j committee in charge of city-owned i lots was authorized to sell a piece of property on South Main street to Gerry Davis for $125.

The two men testified before the senate foreign relations com mittee, which also received an nouncement of support for the bill by eight southern governors, while the house started the sec ond day of debate on tho ad ministration measure. The governors advised the committee they believed that "passage of this bill at this time Is essential to the safety of the nation." Eliot, writer on militnry sub lects, said the destruction of the balance of power in Europe for the first time since the Napol eonic wars had brought about a condition filled with danger for the United Stales. Germany's gaining access to the Atlantic had wrecked the strategic mili tary setup of the world, he de clared. Beard proposed that instead of enacting the administration's hill, congress should authorize the use of government credit to step up production or war sup piles for Great Britain. Foes Gain Converts. Amid clashing opinions on the dancer of an Invasion of the Unit ed Slates by a triumphant axis, house republicans fighting tho llrlllsh aid bill sought to enlist democrats In the drive to write major modifications into the legis lation. Representative Fish lull mated that some converts already had been made, for he told report ers he believed democrats would sponsor some of (he opposition's restricting amendments.

(Continued from page 1) places In East Anglla. The British said the German raids at no time reached serious proportions, and that fires start ed in the capital were extinguish ed before much damage was done. No casualties were reported. Axis' Sea Toll Reported . In London, the admiralty an nounced that nine British and al lied merchant ships totalling 33, 004 tons were lost "bv enemy ac tion" in the week ending Jan. 20. Bv coincidence, both Rome and Berlin announced new Inroads against British shipping in the apnarently quickening war at sea. Hitler's high command re ported 43.000 tons sent to the bot tom 29.000 tons by a German warship "operating overseas"; 11, 000 tons by a nazl U-boat, and 3, 000 tons by German dive-bombers. Premier Mussolini's high com mand reported a spectacular raid by Italian torpedoboats last night against "an enemy convoy strong ly escorted by cruisers and de stroyers" in the Red sea. "Attacking decisively," tho fas- l cist high command said, "our ves sels launched a total of nine tor pedoes, of which seven hit ships. "Our units, despite strong enemy reaction, succeeded In get ting away and returned to their base unharmed." May Restore Laval Indications of a German vic tory on the diplomatic front were seen by observers in reports from Vichy that French Chief of State Marshal Petain soon might restore former Vice Premier Pierre Laval to his cabinet to meet naz.i pressure. Laval is regarded generally as an advocate of French-German "collaboration," toward which lit tle progress has been made since his dismissal by Petain last Dec. 13. Wlllkie, DeValera Confer Wendell L. Willkle flew to Dub lin today to confer with Prime Minister De Valera on the subject of Irish ports and bases repeat edly sought by the British to com bat the German counter-blockade even as RAF bombers twice attacked the nazl U-boat center at Brest, France. Willkle said he planned to ask De Valera questions "and talk to him across the desk" regarding neutral Eire's bases. So far, De Valera has flatly re fused permission for either Brit ish planes or warships to use Irish territory in operations against Germany's sea attacks, which recently have turned the waters west of Ireland into n so called "graveyard of the At lanllc." Permission to use bases would extend the range of British de fenses 200 to 300 miles farther west. Wlllkie emphasized, however, that he would "not attempt to In fluence De Valera in any way." After talking at length with De Valera, Willkle was silent on tho subject of their conversation be yond saying it dealt with "the po sition of Ireland and the Interna tional situation." Public Spree Jails Man To Serve Out $10 Fine Oscar Sargent of Myrtle Creek was in the Douglas county- Jail today after pleading guilty to a charge of being drunk on a pub lic highway. He was fined $10 upon arraignment in the cir cuit court and in lieu of payment of the fine was committed to Ihe county Jail for five and one- half days.

(Continued from page 1) seeing the scattered wreckage from a vantage point about 200 yards distant. No Sign of Life. C. I. Kimple, Morton weekly oaper publisher, said they told him they saw at least one body and no sign of life at the scene. He said he gained the impression the wreckage was in a ravine, dif ficult of access, but other reports were that the wreckage was at the base of a cliff.
