it conferred no additional powers
on the president to send Amerl-
tan troops out ol the western
hemisphere, except to U. S. pos-
sessions.
Others Air Views
Senator Aiken (R.-Vt.) Joined
opponents of the administration's
British aid bill yesterday, con
tending that enactment of the
measure would be "the final
Btep" before American Involve'
ment In war.
Aiken and Senator Shlpstead
HR.-Mlnn.), another opponent, as
serted the bill would give rresi
dent Roosevelt greater powers
than ever before granted to a
president and would lead directly
to war. f.
Stoutly arguing against this
View, Senators Murray (D.-Mont.)
and Barbour (R.-N. J.), propron-
ents, said that the so-called lend
Jease measure provided the most
effective way of keeping this
country at peace.
With opponents talking private
ly of a possible filibuster, Demo
cratic Leader Barkley of Ken
tuncky told reporters that he
honed a final vote could be ob
tained on the measure by the end
of this week.
Barkley, who conferred with
President Roosevelt yesterday,
said that so far as he and others
of like views were concerned,
there was no disposition to ac
cept any amendments to the mea
sure beyond those previously In
corporated by the foreign rem
Wheeler Scores F. R.
" Senator Wheeler asserted In
the senate today that President
Roosevelt had made "a shocking
Statement" when he told his press
conference . yesterday that pro
5josals for peace must await ' a
British victory and that the first
thing was to win the war. Wheel
er said the. president's statement
Indicated a position which the
United States certainly should
not take "unless we are ready to
get Into the war."
"I think this statement of the
president Is a shocking state
ment," Wheeler shouted. "1 sub
mit that we are not In the war
unless the president of the United
States has already committed us
to war. If we are In the war, I
repeat that we are In In violation
of the constitution of the United
States."
"Who are we In the United
States," Wheeler broke In. "to
tell the British what they should
do? Who Is the president of the
United States that he should tell
the British that the war should
go on? How can Britain win a
victory unless we come Into the
war?"
Senator Clark '(D.-Mo.T, anoth
er opponent of the bill, said It

the war,' ,. , ,

war between Britain and Ger
many went ahead at an ever fast
er tempo.
The Germans said a nazl speed
boat sank a British destroyer off
the southeast coast of England;
German U-boats sank an 8,000
ton armed British merchant ship
and a patrol boat, and nazl
planes bombed and set afire
three British cargo vessels total
ing 21,000 tons northwest of Ire
land.
British RAF bombers, escorted
by waves of fighting planes,
roared across the channel In Brit
ish sunlight today headed for
such areas as Dunkerque, Bou
logne, Calais and Cap Grls Nez,
France after RAF night raid
ers had smashed at industrial
targets in the Ruhr and air
dromes in France.
Of the night raids, "separate
attacks were also made on the
Invasion ports of Boulogne, Dun
kerque and Calais, a London air
ministry communique said.
Hitler's high command said
German night raiders bombed
he ports of Hull. Harwich and
Great Yarmuth, attacked air
ports In east England and armo
ment factories, at Ipswich and
Norwich.
At the same time, the Ger
mans admitted they were hav-
ng trouble In conquered Nether
lands territory. Strikes and
riots In Amsterdam led na.l au
thorities to Impose military con
trol over north Holland "in
view of the present political sit
uation." Marching, meetings and
demonstrations were prohibited.
Greece Spurns Brltlih Troops
Although Greece has been at
war nearly four months ,shc still
apparently worries British offi
cialdom because of her reported
rerusal to accept British trons
on her soil. Till sstanil presum
ably Is based upon a desire to
avoid any direct affront to Ger
many, though Greece has said
she would continue to fight until
the last Italian was driven out
of Albania. The RAF, however,
has been giving active aid to the
Greeks, said to be challenging
the Italians for mastery of the
air.
If Britain abstains from carry
ing the war to southeastern Eu
rope, It Is expected in some
quarters that he will resume her
north African offensive with a
thrust at Tripoli. Capture of that
Libyan stronghold would give
her a junction with the inactive
French forces In Africa under
Gen. Maxine Weygand.
Augmenting previous reports
of wholesale successes in the of
fensive against British life lines.
Berlin credited newly-built sub
marines manned by newly-train
ed crews with sinking 1!)2,.'100
tons of shipping from Sunday
noon until Monday evening.

Reapportionment of
Legislature Is Proposed
(Continues Trom page 1)
Distributed by Douglai Distributing Co., Roeeburg. Ore.
his bill Is the "fairest, and Is bas
ed on the method of apportioning
the U. S. house of representatives.
It Is easier to represent a large
number of people In Multnomah
county than It Is to represent a
small number in a large county."
His bill does not affect the senate.
Senator Plan Revived.
However, the committee Indi
cated it would Introduce a bill by
Representative Henry Semon (D.,
Kiamath) to give Klamath county
a senator of its own and to abol
ish the 19th district (Umatilla,
Morrow and Union). The bill
also would take Columbia from
the joint Multnomah-Clackamas-
Columbia district, and place that
county in a senate district with
Clatsop.
Committee 'members, however,
doubted the Semon bill would
pass, since the senate voted by a
2-to-l margin Monday against giv
ing Klamath county its senator.
Neuberger protested that Mult
nomah county members feel there
shall be no reapportionment until
Multnomah county gets more rep
resentation, both in the senate
and the house.
Multnomah county has 13 rep
resentatives and seven senators,
and Neuberger said that, accord
ing to population, it should have
20 representatives and 10 sena
tors, or a third of the member
ship In each house.
The house killed 31 to 28 a bill
by Rep. Manley J. Wilson (D.
Clatsop) to provide that at least
one of the seven members of
each county public welfare com
mission shall be on the relief or
old age pension rolls.
The house military affairs com
mittee Indicated today ,it would
introduce a bill to protect persons
serving in the military forces of
the nation.
The bill Is designed to enact In
to state law most of the provis
ions of the federal soldiers and
sailors relief act. It would give
soldiers Immunity from taxation
and assessment, judgments, re
possessions, and other civil ac
tions.
The house already has passed a
bill to guarantee that soldiers
shall regain their jobs upon re
turn to civil life, but similat.
provisions also are embodied in
the proposed bill. ;
For Firemen's Pensions t
The house passed 33 to 23 and
sent to the senate yesterday a bill
lo take 00 per cent of a 2 3-4 per
cent tax paid by fire Insurance
companies for paying pensions tb
paid and volunteer firemen.- r
Kep. Frank J. L,onergan (R
Multnomah) said that the fire in
surance tax was initiated to main
tain the Btate ' Ire marshal's of
fice, and never was Intended as a
revenue measure. He said that
during the past 10 years, the tax
has produced nn average revenue
of S1G0.270 a year, most of which
has gone into the state general
fund.
The 00 per cent share of the
tax to be used for fire depart
ments, Lonergan said, would to
tal between $90,000 and $100,000 a
year. Fifty per cent would go to
paid fire departments with the i
other 10 per cent to volunteer
departments.
A bill similar, but which would
have added to the tax paid by in
surance companies, was passed
last session and vetoed by Gov
ernor Sprague.
The governor has Indicated he
also would veto the bill which
passed the house today.
The senate passed and sent to
the governor a bill to transfer
administration of the aid to crip
pled children program from the
state public welfare commission
to the University of Oregon medi
cal school. The appropriation for
this program for the next bien
nium totals $100,000.
Interim Group Named
The senate elected its six-man
committee to pass on Governor
Sprague's appointments that. are
made between the 1941 and 1943
legislative sessions.
The committee will decide on
all appointments which require
senate confirmation.
Members of the committee are
Sens. George W. Dunn (R.-Jack-son).
W. H. Strayer (D.-Baker),
F. M. Franclscovich (R.-Clatsop),
Douglas McKay (R.-Marion), Joel
T. Booth (R.-LInn) and Ronald E.
Jones (R.-Marion).
Labor Bill Compromised
The house judiciary committee
l.ntorl lft,)nv in rflmiirnmiw nm-
ployer and labor demands for
changes in the unemployment
compensation law, and It prob
ably will have the legislation
ready this afternoon.
The committee decided to
grant employer demands that ex
perience rating, under which em
ployers with stable payrolls
would pay lower taxes, be given a
trial, and to retain seasonality,
under which employes in sea
sonal occupations do not receive
benefits during periods in which
their cmnloycrs are not operating.
But labor will get on increase
in minimum benefits of from S7
to S10 a week, and a reduction in
the period that an unemployed
person must wait for benefits
from three to two weeks.
The committee estimated that
the changes would cost about
S700.000 more a year, and would
not endanger the solvency of the
$11,000,000 fund.
The committee relected labor
bills to raise maximum benefits
to $20 and $24 a week for 20
weeks. Top benefits will remain
at SI 5 a week for 16 weeks.
The News
Behind the News
What do you find in the newspaper you are hold
ing in your hands?
On the front page, headlines; history burst
ing into shape before your eyes . . .
Then, on the inner pages, news you might not
at first recognize as such . . . pages of advertis
ing from your local stores. Pages of merchan
dise ... an assortment of wares so varied and so
complete it would take you weeks to inspect it
in person!
News? Yes! Not to shake the world, perhaps,
but important to matters you care about. The
new dress Mary wants for the Prom (here is one
illustrated and you had no idea it would cost so
little). Or Junior's new bicycle (you could not
very well have guessed that the sporting-goods
store was having a sale!).
Newspaper advertising saves you money
you can compare prices better than you could
by store-to-store searching. It saves you time
you can decide ust where to go before you
start. And it saves you mistakes these goods
are sold exactly as advertised!
So read all the news in the newspapers!
Sometimes the advertisements can mean more
ro you than all the foreign dispatches on Page

Not so with the newest additions to the
I'M Huick line.
Here we've reversed the trend just to
prove tli it nn honest -to-golly BIG car
can be built without going overboard on
bumper-to-buinper distance.
The four new models now adorning the
Huick Si'i-cui, Series fit neatly
into modest gunics without put
ting u permanent crimp in the
doors.
They slip into parking places
smoothly as a rowboat nestles up to a dock
and the way they flit through truflic is a
delight to wheel-weary drivers.
When it comes to action well, they've got
a 115-hp. FIREBALL eight under their bon
nets thut skims you down the road like a
mallard heading home. You can add Com
pound Carburction at small extra cost and
have 125 horsepower that does things we
hardly dare hint about in print, -
Hut they're a handy six inches shorter,
bumper to bumper, than other I5uicks-a
quartet of top-quality cars in an easily,
handled size that hasn't known such
merit before.
The price? It's lower
too. So better take a
look it'll be the first
time you've ever seen
a really DIG car
wrapped up in this
bumper-to-bumper
