SIX Wool Pool Will Make Effort to Handle Lamb Clip The Southern Oregon Wool pool will make an effort ugain this year to handle the lamb clip as well as the regular spring clip for its members, it was announc ed today by the pool commit tee. Last yeat- the pool succeeded in securing 41 cents per pound for lamb wool, in face of an av erage local market of around 30 cents, V. J. Phlllppl, director, re ported. However, the lamb wool was not signed up with the pool and as a result no specific amount could be contracted. Last year's sale was late, due to marketing conditions, so that by the time the sale was completed a consid erable quantity of the second clip was available. Every indication points to an early sale this year at a good price, Mr. Phillppi reports. There is a great demand for wool, due to requirements of the armed forces for uniforms, blankets and other war supplies, which, ac cording to federal order, must contain at least 50 per cent do mestic wool. While a maximum price lias been fixed, the ceiling will permit a very large Increase In returns to growers over past seasons. It is anticipated that, due to this condition, the spring clip will sell quickly. If enough grow ers are interested, Mr. Phlllppl states, the organization will, if possible, attempt to negotiate a sale, although it Is impossible at present to make any definite promise. Both the spring and lamb clips last year were highly satis- factory to the buyers, the pool di 'rectors were Informed.

The Vichy radio also said nazl dive-bombers sot a 2,000-ton ves sel afire yesterday in a radio on Kola bay, on which the Russian Arctic port of Murmansk is sit uated.

Several dozen vehicles were re ported set afire or heavily dam aged by air force action against a British motorized column.

The old fashioned, flush deck destroyer Peary was bombed and sunk about Feb. 19 at Darwin, Australia going down with her guns firing. The loss of life was believed light. Japs Bomb Mandalay Japanese fliers bombed storied Mandalay, which was first attack ed Feb. 19, and two other towns in central Burma behind the British-Chinese lines, the British announced. A communique said a hospital was set afire, but de clared there was no military dam age at Mandalay and that aerial toll elsewhere was inconsequen tial. Withdrawal of British covering forces on the Irrawadcly valley front to main defense positions north of Promo was said to have proceeded satisfactorily yesterday despite heavy plane arid Infantry attacks. Burma is regarded as the "real daiiiier spot" now by Lieut. Gov. Van Mook of the Netherlands East Indies. Speaking in Melbourne, the re fugee executive expressed belief the Japanese would seek simply to neutralize Australia's increas ingly powerful bases, rather than attempt a full invasion. Naval observers at Washing ton pointed out that when the battle of Java was fought U. S. vessels were handicapped by lack of air support. Now, however, the growing strength of American land-based units In northern Aus tralia may reverse the picture. American Heroism Noted From official anil eyewitness accounts of the new sinkings came tales of Individual heroism which matched anything in naval history. When one gun crew was knock ed out by the blast of a bomb. another took over immediately An officer stayed on a sinking ship to fight off a Japanese bomber's strafing attack on help less men In the water. An enlist ed man "gunnery control lalker" refused to leave the bridge when he was wounded, anil later risked his life in an attempt to save the ship's pay records. The LnnglVy, converted from a collier to become America's first aircraft carrier and later turned into a tender to serve both sea planes and airplanes, had been claimed sunk by the Japanese at least three times during the first month of the war. During ibis time the historic vessel, known to bluejackets as the "old covered wagon," had gone undamaged. Commander Robert P. McCon nell, who commanded the Lang ley, and Lieutenant-Commander Elmer P. Ahernathy of the Pecos gave delails of the Java battles at San Francisco last night. Lieuten ant -Commander John M. Herm Ingham of the I Vary was killed In action. Moslems, Too. Dissatisfied. Declaring that Britain's plan for post war Indian dominion sta tus would "keep Moslems tied to the chariot w heels ot llindudom," Mohammed All Jinnah indicated at New Delhi today that the au tonomy proiHisal already rejected by the powerful all India congress parly also was unsatisfactory to his Moslem league. Jinnah, leader of India's second largest parly, expressed deep dis appointment that the "entitv ami Integrity of the Moslem nation I was not expressly recognized" in the offer outlined by Sir Stafford Crlpps in an effort to bring the Indians whole heartedly into the war effort. Mandalay, storied city in east ern Burma toward which the Ja panese have pointed an invasion ' army, was heavily bombed yester- day by the Japanese air force but i no military damage was done, the 1 British reported from London to- i day.
