A nazl spokesman commenting
on the wholesale sinking of Brit
ain's sen-borne commerce declar
el the world now was witnessing
the first lurgescnle development
of tactics combining warships, U-'
boats and long-distance scouting
plnnes for attacks far out at sea.
The spokesman recalled the
previously announced wrecking
of six ships In another HrHlsn
convoy off the coast of Portugal
last Sunday.
British African troops were re
ported pushing forward on three
fronts in Italian Eritrea toward
the port of Massaua, but progress
apparently was slow at Cheren, a
strongly fortified mountain town
in the central sector, although
the Hritlsh said they occupied po
sitions controlling an Important
highway Junction at Elgena,
which leads to both Massaua and
Cheren.

oltals will have their working

but commit lee members Indicat
ed they would approve it. It

examine lists of public welfare
clients was approved by the
committee, which amended It to
Dievent legislators from cODvini?
the lists. The measure is Intend
ed to head off a resolution call
ing for investigation of the pub
lic welfare commission.
Highway Board Backed
Legislative activities reached
top speed wilh a vote of confi
dence for the state highway com
mission in the house und four
committee hearings last night.
The house defeated a resnln.
tlon which would have set up a
legislative committee to arbitrate
nispuies Between the highway
commission and towns over loca
tion of highways.
In an Oregon-Washington fish
... ... mi;, i'i""vm was given a
plan to create a Washlngton-Ore-gon-Idaho
authority to control
fisheries of the Columbia river.
The senate roads and highways
committee voted In favor of a bill
to set a speed maximum of the
highways of 45 miles an hour, 25
miles an hour in residential dis
tricts and 20 miles an hour in
business districts.
Truck Tax Change Asked
A hearing was held on a bill to
change truck taxation from a ton
mile levy to a flat $5-a-ton basis.
A. F. Harvey, superintendent of
motor transportation for the state
public utilities commission, testi
fied it would reduce tax Income
by $123,000.
Truckers said, revenue would
not decrease because many truck
ers now evade the ton-mile tax.
The hearing was before the
house motor vehicles and aero
nautics committee which favored
bills to authorize cities and coun
ties to construct emergency air
ports in cooperation with the fed
eral government, and to advertise
the 1943 Oregon Trail centennial
on auto license plates that year.
Opponents battled before the
house counties and cities commit
tee on a bill which would olimin-
ate from the state housing act a
provision that a city must estab
lish a housing authority on peti
tion of 25 voters If investigation
reveals need.

Bills to reopen the Rogue,
Chetco and Elk rivers to glllnet
fishing were introduced yester-
dav bv the house fisheries com
mittee.
They would permit net fishing

February, and for salmon from
January 1 to March 15.

legalized for three months a
year in the Chetco. and for one
one month in the Elk river.

introduced a measure to appro
priate S15.000 for teaching public
school students the effects of alco
hol and narcotics.
The house passed unanimously
and sent to the senate a bill to
provide free blood tests for all
exDectant mothers to detect syph-illis.

mit women with religious
scruples to refuse the tests,
