SIX British Air Fleet Hits Hard Blow at Nazi Cities (Continued from page 1) to the scale of the attack and very little was achieved beyond serious damage to a number of private houses." Raldi Widespread The luftwaffe took advantage m a full moon and clear weathe to range widely over England, nnd In. addition to Liverpool, struck at London, towns In the midlands, East Anglla and in the southwest and southeast. The air ministry news service said night fighters were known to have downed five of the nine German bombers bagged Inst night and added they "probably destroyed several more. "The deadliness of our night fighters In combat is proved by the fact that In most cases they shot the raiders down in flames with only one burst from their guns," the news service said. tlVERPOOL AREA BADLY BLASTED, NAZIS CLAIM BERLIN, March 13. fAP) Destruction "exceeding that at Coventry" was reported by Ger man sources today to have been wrought in a vast night raid on Liverpool, in which they said several hundred planes dropped Domns lor Hours. This attack was carried out as the British royal nlr force, also taklntr advantage of improving weather, made its first assaults on Berlin in 82 nights. Sixteen persons were killed and 37 injured In Berlin, informed persons said, and other damage was inflicted at Bremen and Hamburg, two of Germany's chief ports. The high command said the attack on the Liverpool area was carried out by several hundred planes in waves, and pNB, offi cial news agency, said returning crewmen declared the devasta tion was worse than at Coventry, the midlands industrial town which was virtually razed the night of Nov. 14. "Hell broke loose on the Mer sey," one pilot reported, describ ing an "ocean of flames" visible 25-mlnutes flight away from the scene. Another observer declared 10, 000 explosive and Incendiary bombs were dropped, many ships in the harbor were damngod, and hupo losses were Inflicted espe cially among grain elevators and storehouses. Thirteen British planes were said by the high command to have been shot down, ten of them In the attacks on Berlin, Hamburg and Bremen.

Roteburg Telephone 277 or 601-R Mussolini in Field But ' Urge to Army Is Futile (Continued from page 1) Few persons do more to ease the burden of the makers of income tax reports than the Misses Lois Duncan and Patricia Abeel of the Douglas National bank. All year long they keep account of deposits and checks for thousands of persons. Their work reaches Its climax of usefulness at income tax report time. The young women pause In their daily task to smile for the News-Review photographer as he finds them nt their machines. Their work covers many phases, but chief of these is the operation of the bookkeeping machines. 1 Their nimble fingers fly over the keyboard of 132 keys and other , i-umruis ua nicy wurs ujuunes ui deposits anu cnccics into tne proper accounts. In addition to other work, the operators of the high speed machines dally work up about 1000 deposits and checks totalling about $80,000, often more and sometimes less. Yards nnd yards of paper roll out of the machine on a busy day to make a control sheet of the day's work, which shows the figures In carbon copy that are posted to every account. When the checks have been posted the young women "finish" them with a perforator that drills faster than a machine gun to punch them full of holes. There's a pattern to the punched holes that shows when a check Is held to the light a pattern smoother than the outline rifle shooting of "Buffalo Bill." The pattern gives the month, day and year In which the check was "cancelled out." said British troops were continu ing to mop up "In all sectors" of Italian Somulilund. In Libya, Eritrea and Ethiopia, the British said there was nothing of Im portance to report. To Trap Italian Ships The British admiralty announc ed today that the small strait of Bab El Manrteb at the southern end of the Red sea was "danger ous to navigation. Closure of the small strait leaves the British only one chan nel to watch to prevent any Ital ian ships in the Red sea from es caping into the open ocean as the land pressure in Eritrea in creases, observers said. The admiralty declined to dis close how It blocked the small channel between Perim island and the Arabian coast, but prol ably used mines. they said, to the company's ac tion in ignoring unemployed union members in hiring six plant guards. At the Unlvcrsal-Cyrlnps Sleel company, 1.500 men have been out since February 20, claiming their wages were 30 per cent un der the rate paid by other simi lar concerns.

They said bases be ing equipped In the thirteenth naval district were Port Angeles and Seattle, Wash.: Astoria and Coos Bay, Ore., and at Kodiak, Dutch Harbor and Sitka, Alaska. To Cut British Load A high administration official disclosed today that the army and reconstruction finance cor poration were negotiating to take over between $300,000,000 and S350,000,000 worth of British war contracts and factories In this country. The official explained that the negotiations probably would cut British war obligations between 20 and 25 per cent, indicating that their total obligations for weapons and other war materials were about $1,500,000,000. The official added that since the United States, under the lease-lending bill, would provide all new weapons desired by the British, the British were expect ed to pay for the remaining con tracts placed "with American manufacturers before the bill was passed.

The house defeated a bill to es tablish a civil service system for state employes. A memorial asking congress to enact antllynching legislation was passed 17 to 12 by the senate and sent to the house.

The senate passed and sent to the governor a bill appropriating $15,000 for educating handicapped children. The bill also would per mit establishment of special schools in such institutions as the Shrine hospital and Doernbecher hospital, both of Portland, and the state tuberculosis hospitals.

Bigger Trueke Rejected The house killed a senate bill providing for 12 ports of entry at which trucks weighing up to 68,000 pounds could come into Oregon to load and unload. Pres ent limit on trucks is 54,000 pounds. The senate sent three liquor bills to the governor. They would permit the liquor commission to license and regulate night clubs, permit court appeals by persons whose licenses have been revok ed or suspended by the commis sion, and prohibit delivery by messenger from state liquor stores. One Curry River Opened A bill to open the Elk river in Curry county to commercial fish ing in November of each year was passed late yesterday by the house, which had defeated it a few hours previously. The meas ure goes to the senate.

' The bills,' by Representatives Richard L. Neuberger and J. D. Perry, would have provided that no state official could be paid a higher salary than the $7,500 a year paid to the governor. Neuberger said it is unjust to pay the cost of maintaining Hunt er's home, and he criticized the state for paying an annuity policy for Hunter, costing $1,350 a year. He said Hunter actually re: eclves $17,000 or $18,000 a. year, asserting that if the state would buy his clothes and meals, the state then would be paying all of Hunter's living costs. Distinction Pointed Out. Representative A. Ronnie said ho feared that if Hunter's salary were reduced, the state would lose his services. Representative James A. Rod man said that Hunter's salary is not out of line with those of oth er states, and he added that "the salary of the governor should not be a yardstick for other salaries, because the governor's office is an office of honor. If you want to pay less for a chancellor, you can, but you will get a man worth just what you will pay him." In explaining his vote against the bills, Representative Warren Erwin said "this is just a feud between Dick (Neuberger) and the chancellor," but Neuberger heatedly dpnied this, asserting "I hardly know the chancellor at all. Mr. Erwin just doesn't know any thing about this." FALSE TEETH DENTUR EZE,Hienew euiliioop June. mi ikes loose plu fit comfortsbljr $r mtkt. DENTuR- EZB ii mpou titr--mtt a putt- Economic! to use.
