Landis (R.-Ind.) said Satur day that a "confidential poll" of Congressmen shows "enough votes to defeat" a proposed loan to Great Britain. Landis did not explain who had taken the poll or how many members were polled. Congres sional leaders of both parties have expressed the belief recently to reporters that the proposed loan would meet strong opposi tion and might be defeated if an early vote were taken. The question of a $3,750,000,000 loan will be before the legislators when they come back from vaca tion. In his statement, Landis as serted In part: "Why should the American tax payers be forced to underwrite a loan to Great Britain when Britain owns billions in gold and diamond reserves and possesses many assets In the United States?"

Freak Accidents During 1945 Rounded Up by Information Director of Safety Council By PAUL JONES Director of Public. Information National Safety Council Big things hupuened In 1945. The war ended. The atom bomb busied. Taxes began to come down. And Mr. Bonner was shot by a duck. Mr. Bonner Is, of course, Mr. Stanley J. Bonner of Houston, Texas, as every duck now knows. On a fine October day he grabbed his trusty automatic pistol and ventured out into the back yard to shoot a couple of domestic ducks. Duck No. 1 fell at the first shot. But Duck No. 2, a more aggressive type, leaped at Mr. Bonner, Jarred his arm and caused the gun to go off. The bullet hit Mr. Bonner in the knee. The duck? Still alive and sassy. Freak Happenings Listed Wacky? Sure. But no wackier than a lot of other freak acci dents that happened In 1945. For a roundup of. the National Safety Council reveals that come war, come peace, people go right on having the darndest things hap pen to them. To wit: Mrs. Edward Comfort of Brooklyn was driving through Virginia, her 15-month-old baby riding happily beside her In a basket strapped to the seat of the car. So far as Mrs. Comfort knew, there were no hard feel ings between her and the baby. But the child sudddenly stopped contentedly drinking milk out of a nursing bottle, swung tne Dot tle lustily and conked Mrs. Com fort neatly on the head. Dazed, she let eo the wheel and the car overturned in a ditch. Neither mother nor baby was hurt. Not so allergic to a thump on the head was Charles Anderson, a hardy resident of Las Angeles. Mr. Anderson, In fact, has reason lo regard himself as practically indestructible. He was repairing a wall one day when a concrete block fell from a fourth-story scaffold and hit him smack on the head. He reeled Into the street, Just in time to be struck down by Policeman Jest Haenel's mo torcycle. He recovered satisfac torily from both accidents. And Mrs. Dorothy Jensenlus was walking In Chicago's loop one dav when, lo and behold, a bucket came hurtling down and hit her kerplunk. It had been dropped by a dismayed window washer seven stories up. A shoulder inulry to Mrs. jensenlus ana a rjem in tne bucket comprised the damage. Interior Depreciation One of life's little mysteries to doctors and economists came when 17-monthold Larry Lingle of Harrisburg, Pa., swallowed a nickel and coughed up a penny. In Toledo, Mrs. Margaret Cook's car-blew a tire at a railroad cross, ing anil caivened down the tracks toward an approaching freight train. The uuto struck a signal switch and threw a red block against the train, automatically stooping it. Every year someone lets a train pass over him without serious re- accident. Whether It was a suicide pact or Just an accident, no one will ever know. But when Miss Bette Boren of Marinette. Wis., return ed home one day last March, she found the family's two dogs on the floor, overcome by gas. They had, in some manner, turned on the stove. They were revived, and haven't tried It again. Taxi Driver Ethel Sheffield's cab skidded Into a lamp post in Hop-Inn.

MUSIC! iirrmrTri nightmare p, M A MY HMI IS 1 helow-zero night last January. She was knocked unconscious and might have frozen to death if a fire alarm box on the lamp post hadn't been set off bv the crash. bringing firemen to the rescue. Fires Exiingulth Selves It's odd enough, perhaps, when a fire starts itself and then puts itself out. When It happens twice the same way, you bog In to won der. But once In Utlca, N. Y., and again in Dark Harbor, Me., the sun's rays, passing through a bot tle of water in a truick, set fire to the floor on each truck, only to have the heat of the fire break the bottle and the water put out the flames. Probably the most embarrassed firemen In the country were the members of the volunteer de partment of Columbus Manor, 111., the night an exploding gaso line tank In a pumper wagon set fire to the fire station. Unable to get their own equipment out of the station to fight the flames, the Columbus Manor laddies had to look on glumly while firemen fi'om nearby towns did the job. When a pin in her washing ma chine broke off, Mrs. Axel Soder, of Makinen, Minn., looked around the house for a substitute pin and finally found something she thought was Just the thing. She suwed off the end of It and started to hammer it into the machine She might have done It, too, If the substitute pin haun t exploded and blown her clear across the room. She had selected a stick of dynamite. Big Falls, Small Hurts No year would be complete, of course, without someone falling salelv out of a tnira-storv win dow onto a cement sidewalk. The 1945 fall-out girl was Beverly Kay Schwartz, 20 months old. of May wood, 111., who escaped with a slight head lniurv. Just to be different, a Chicago baby took his mother along with him when he went for a two story plunge to the street. The year-old child slipped from porch railing. His mother, Mrs. Audrey Hudson, grabbed for him got him, lost her balance, and mother and son fell together. Neither was seriously hurt. Most farsighted plunger of the vear was James Henrn or he- attle. who fell three floors down an air shaft to land cozily in an easy chair. A lot of people stick their necKs out in various wavs, nut not so spectacularly as did Vir ginia. Triplet!, an elevator opera tor In St. Paul.

"If An III Wind" Just to prove that America hasn't a corner on freak acci dents, a wind storm in North Adelaide, Australia, scared a de llveryman's horse Into running away, but also blew the delivery- man aneaa oi tne norse in lime to stop It! Back in Amerlee, a mouse ran up the steering wheel of an auto mobile driven by Hollis Lee Ran dolph, of Tojanga, Calif. Mr. Randolph, wno couicin t nave been more startled had it been an elephant, lost control of hi car, ran it into a alien ana turnea it over. Neither he nor the mouse was hurt. Capt. J. L. Saunders to Be Custodian of Armory Victor J. Mlcelll, who a major In the Oregon State Gaurd com manded tne 17th Battalion, this week gave up custody of the Rose burg Armory. He Is succeeded by John L. Sanders, captain of A Company, the only remaining company in the 17th Battalion.

As custodian, it ha been his duty to arrange for maintenance of the building and to allow its use for recreational proerams.
