The culling off of normal l.ujje Imports of food "by submarines unci Hie .Japs" has depleted the nation's larder. Hoover said, but lie helieMes "we can ration ilmvn our consumption to support this drain if we could maintain the VM2 farm production." The former president said the country was confronted with a "serious" decrease in farm pro ducts Ibis year unless remedies were "promptly applied." Listing what he termed "lorces of cle Kcnorution in anricullure," Hoover described them as "pro gressive," and if they continue over a long war we can lose the war on the home front." Hoover, food administrator dur ing the last war, said the pros pective lack of furm products this year was due (o "taking manpower to the armed forces and munitions; to lack of farm machinery and fertilizers, and to decrease in protein feeds." farming, food canning and other essential industries.

Police made them clean the glass from the streets, and Police Judge Qulllin levied heavy fines, $50 each for Jatiser and Cecil Fleetwood and for Orville Wilson. Pinball Tax Proposal Revived in Senate (Continued from page 1.) WASHINGTON, March 2 (AP)--Plans for postwar high way construction to cost SjOO.IjOO, 000 are developing rapidly, Com missioner Thomas H. Mac-Donald of the public roads administra tion said yesterday. I he purpose of this advance ngineering is to provide fully much would be made possible sooner than in June, 1!I". Governor Snell, while refusing In endorse the ninhall bill, did say the revenue must he raised by some method. Sales Tax Voto Opposed. Representatives of all major labor and farm organizations in Oregon protested to the house taxation anil revenue committee against a hill which would let the people decide at the Novem ber, l!ill, election whether they want a 3 per cent sales tax. The senate killed M to 3 a bill by Senator Cornell to repeal the lilll law taxing motor vehicle drivers 50 cents each two years to set up a fund to pay hospitals for caring for Indigent traffic ac cident victims. Cornell said the lax is unnecessary because little advantage is taken of the hind. Pay Boost for police. The bouse passed and sent to the senate a bill to increase sala ries of state police ollicers be tween $.''.") and $"n a month. Pri vates would be boosted from SlliO to Sl-'tW a month. The house passed two senate I lulls to sell 50-cenl hilling licenses to disabled vet erans of this war, and to refund antelope bunting license lees col lected l.isl year, when the sea son was cancelled. Civil Service Dill Loses. The house defeated 3-1 to 21 yesleid.iy a bill to establish a civil ser ice system for Oregon's T.fMK) state employes, opponents charging the measure would (reive present employes on their jobs and thus make it impos sible for returning soldiers to get state jobs alter Ihe war. Rep. Marsh opposed the bill because "then1 is no evidence ol u spoils sstrm in Oregon, and Ihe bill would treee iiu-omM-tents on their jobs. Ii would cost ST.'i.OOO lo set up the system, and it is unfair to the Inns in the V armed lorces." 5C Rep. John 1 1. ill said the lull & provides lor a dinviur who t-J The house, by a vote of 34 tr. 25, voted to give cities 5 per cent of slate highway commis sion revenues If the amount col lected reaches $11,000,000 In one year - which will not be un. til after the war. The senate de feated a similar bill last session. New Tax Bill Drafted The senate assessment and tax ation committee, throwing the house's income tax reduction plan out the window, drafted a new bill today which would direct the tax commission to make reduc tions only when the surplus in come collections totals $18,500, 000. The house had voted to reduce taxes 10 per cent on this year's Payments, and 11.02 per cent be ginning next year. The committee held that .appli cation of the reduction this year would be a nuisance, because 100,1)00 taxpayers would be given refunds too small to mention. It takes $I),500,0(X) a year of income tax revenues to finance the state government and the two-mill slate elementary school levy. Tin- house has approved an other $-1,000,000 a year to be given school districts to reduce proper ty taxes. The committee would set up a $5,000,000 buffer fund, mak ing a total of $18,500,0(K). When ever the surplus revenues on hand and the estimate of the year's collections exceeds this to tal, then taxes would be reduced. For instance, Governor Snell estimates that by the end of the year, the surplus will amount to ibout $!),000,000. Colled inns next year should, exceed $M,000,0(X) mder existing rates, or a total of $23,000,000. So a reduction would be ordered. The drafting of the new hill made it apear doubtful that the legislature would adjourn by next Saturday, as the house Is expect ed to support Its own tax reduc tion plan and fight the senate version. Wine Bill Passed Supporters of Sen. W. K. Burke's hill to give lUpinr stores a monoHly of the sale of wines containing more than 11 per cent alcohol by volume had won their first round In the house today, but only by Ihe margin of a sin gle vote. 'Hie iinai showdown will come tomorrow, when the bill will be up for passage. The house voted 31 to 2S late yesterday in favor of an alcoholic control committee minority re port recommending passage of the bill. And 31 voles Is the min imum necessary to pass a bill. Rep. II. R. Jones said putting the wines in liquor stores would give the stores more profits and thus Increase old age pension revenues. Rep. Harvey said the fortified wines are a 'menace to hunting andjymlll), people and cause insanity. Rep. Pier said Ihe bill would force hundreds of wine, grocery and drug stores out of business. "This bill would not accom plish its purpose," Pier said, "be cause these wines would be just as accessible in liquor stores as they are now. If this fortified wine is half as bad as they say it is, it should be prohibited." planned, road building projects ready for immediate construction after the war," he said in a state ment. "A considerable numlier of these projects will be located in and around cities to provide em ployment for men demobilized from the armel forces and Ihe war industries, and to relieve America's No. 1 traffic problem, which is in the cities." The construction would he financed jointly by the federal government and tho states, with the latter matching the federal contribution. The half-billion dol lar program would be equivalent to about two years of federal and highway work in normal peace times, said MacDonald. The preliminary engineering is being financed by a $10,000,000 fund authorized in the 194 1 de fense highway act. It is now un derway In 22 states where high way departments are preparing plans for roads and bridges to cost $170,000,000.

Chairman Sabath said there was no roll-call vote on tho com mittee action, but he added the voice vote was not unanimous. The bill would amend the 1934 anti-racketeering act by specific ally defining robbery and extor tion in Interstate commerce. The new definition, labor spokesmen have complained, would make labor unions subject to prosecu tion for picketing or other lawful activities. Fish Allocation Will ;VV Continue Through March WASHINGTON, .March' 2 (AP) The allocation of salmon, pilchard and mackerel will be continued through the month of March, Agriculture Secretary Wickard said yesterday. As in the past, canners must reserve CO per cent of their salmon packed In March for the government, leaving 40 per cent to be released for civilians.

The RAF appai-ently was tim ing its raids on Berlin to coincide with the nazis' favorite anniver sary celebrations. Just as the last previous assault a month ago crashed into festivities attending tho 10th anniversary of Hitler's accession to power, last night's assault gave fiery punctuation to yesterday's celebration of "luft wuffe day," marking the 10th an niversary of the modern German all' force.
