(API Sir Harry Lauder, th beloved Scottish comedian, kit gon roamin in tn gloamin' far th last tint. H died lest night at th g of 7t fr an Illness of many months. The mua who wrote "Koamin In The Gloamin' " and turned it ilmost into i folksong in populari ty, drove himself with public ap pearances until last year. Then on the repeated advice of doctors he reluctantly announced his retire ment at Lauder Ha', his spacious home in Lanarkshire. Although Sir Harry had sung his swan song on the commercial stage more than a decade ago, he had not ceased being a showman. Still hale and hearty he skirled his pipes and waved his knobby stick for sol dier audiences in Britain all during World War II, the same as he had done a generation before for troops at home and for charity. With his niece. Miss Greta Laud er, he went on recruiting drives organizing shows and playing in Scottish towns on behalf of churches, schools, hospitals, clubs and community projects, Lauder was the oldest of seven children. He went to work in a flax mill at the ace of 11, when his father died. Then h became a coal miner. Lauder always said the turning point of his life was his marriage at the age of 20 to Annie Vallance. His young wife played the piano and they started giving concerts at small entertainment halls in Scot land. Thence he went to the music halls in London, became a success there and his fame soon spread to the United States. He was knighted in IMS by the late King George V for his services in singing to the empire troops In the trenches in Frsnce. Billfold Larceny Draws 20 Years Homer White, 4S of Albany, was sentenced today to serve 20 years in the penitentiary, following his conviction on a charge of larceny involving a billfold containing ap proximately $800. Circuit Judge William G. East of Eugene read the sentence after calling attention to state's evidence which indictated White had been convicted on three other occasions for felonies. Prior to sentencing. White de clared he would appeal his ease. At the same time, Thomas C. Hartfiel, court appointed defense attorney, asked to withdraw from the case. Judge East told White he may still appeal, with another at torney appointed to take Hartfiel's place should that attorney actual , ly withdraw. a District Attorney Robert G. Davis prosecuted for the state, charging White with the theft of a wallet from the Spot Tavern last month. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS AS these words are written (a lit tle before noon on Friday the British election is CLOSE. In the POPULAR vote, which is a some what more accurate barometer of public opinion than the number of seats in parliament, the Laborites are running a half million behind the combined total of the Conserva tives and the Liberals. There is a possibility that in parliament the Labor party's mem bership may be cut from the point of decisive control to a margin so narrow as to make effective Labor control in the pinches impossible. As to that, wa will know more later. llfHAT has happened already is ff nothing short of amazing. Unless you have talked to large numbers of average run-of-the-mill English, you can't imagine the dis trust and suspicion with which they regard the Conservatives ("Tories" is the name U"ed in ordinary con versation). The obvious distrust of the majority ji our people in these (Continued on Page Four) Labor-Conservative Truce Is Hinted To Permit Commons To Deal With Vital Problems LONDON, Feb. 27. (API Strong hints cropped up today that a eoniervative-iebor "gentleman's agreement" may delay new general election for the next few months. But final de cisions are still to be taken. Such a truce, perhaps unspoken, would permit the virtually deadlocked House of Commons to deal with pressing problems both at home and abroad. The Communist Daily Worker sourly spoke of a "backdoor coalition" by labor and the Tories. Most British newspapers applaud ed Prime Minister Attlee's deci sion to form a new government and attempt to carry on with La bor's thin overall majority of eight aeats. With two districts still unreport ed, labor had 31S of the t?S seats. The Conservatives and allied par ties 295, the Liberals nine, the Irish Nationalists two, the Independent Liberals one. The speaker of the house, who votes only in case of ties, is listed as non-partisan. Delayed returns from two remote districts in Scotland gave the Con servatives and the Liberals one more victory apiece this afternoon. One other district in Scotland Inverness has yet to report. The final district is Mossside in Man chester, where the death of a can didate made a bye-election neces- aary. That will be beld March MM seats to the Conservatives. 1 1titSt SIR HARRY LAUDIR Prisoner Admits 1,000 Burglaries To Hold Friends' DETROIT, Feb. 27-f.W-To hold friendships, 40-year-old Leslie Pot ter decided long ago, you need money. So, Potter admitted to police Sat urday, he broke into about 1.000 Detroit area homes and stores dur ing the last seven years and came out with nearly $100,000 in valu ables and cash. All this time Potter held a re sponsible job as personnel man in the Hudson Motor Car Co. factory. The job pays $4,500 a year. He told officers after his arrest Saturday he felt he needed money to keep his friends some 500 of them and all male and spent near ly all his loot on gifts for them. "Burglary seemed the easiest way to get money," Potter said. "It is very easy and the danger is little. "I never entered a home unless I was sure none of the family was home. I never harmed a person in my life. I never will." Potter said all his robberies were done st night, after he finished his daytime work. A burglary warrant against him has been asked. Potter's roommate, identified bv police as William Whitehead, 22, gave officers the tip that led to his arrest. . Whitehead was arresled in con nection with an electric appliance shop brglary. He told Detective Earl Miller he "robbed the place to impress Potter" and show his loyalty to his friend. Police then arrested the person nel consltant at the office of a lawyer he had engaged for White head. Potter told officers he had made thefts in 22 states before coming here and onca served a prison term in Nebraska. Prison Terms Meted To 80 Finnish Rioters HELSINKI, Finland. Feb. 27. IPi A Finnish court today sentenc ed 80 participants in August's Communist-inspired riots in the north lumber town of Kemi to prison terms up to IS months at hard labor. Two workers were killed during the riots, inspired by Red elements to discredit the government. The riots engulfed all Finland. The Kemi district court acquitted 30 defendants and exempted five youths from punishment. Four de fendants, regarded as ringleaders of the riots received the heaviest sentences. TRAIN HITS ROCK WASHTUCNA, Wash., Feb. 27 (JPt A six-car, S.P b S. passenger train, traveling at better than a mile-a-minute clip, hit a rock near here late Saturday and jumped the track. As the train continued on another 600 to 700 feet, ripping up rails and ties, only two of the estimated 75 passengers were shaken sufficient I ly to require hospitalization. Most newspapers also forecast another general election in late summer or early autumn. This would give parliament a chance to get the budget and other neces sary money bills out of the way. The labor and conservative parties would also have time to rebuild their treasuries and campaign ma chines. Incidental to the embryo' revolt witnin the labor party is the elec tion post-mortem to be held at a party caucus Wednesday when a ruckus may be raised over the way Deputy Prime Minister Herbert Morrison and Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin ran the campaign.

Feb. 27, Anti-lynch legislation third point in the administration's civil rights program, appears dead for this session of Congress so far as House leaders are concerned. While there has been no formal announcement to this effect. House leaders said off the floor today they are willing to stand on the civil rights record already made oy uie House in the Slst Congress. That record shows two of the three civil rights measures passed and sent to the Senate, which hasn't acted. The House last year passed a bill to abolish payment of poll taxea as a qualification for voting in elections for federal officers. Last week it passed a bill to create a Fair Employment Practicea com mission (FEPC) to operate on per suasive rather than compulsory lines. "It now is up to the Senate to do something," a high House De mocrat told a newsman, "we have made our record and, while the FEPC bill is not what we wanted. we are off the spot politically." About the only thing that could change the minds of House leaders regarding an anti-lynch bill would be for the Senate to pass the other two bills. If that ahould happen, the House might decide to go all the way on civil rights and try to pass an anti-lynch bill. May Net Reach Truman The threat of a Senate filibuster makes it unlikely that the poll tax and the FEPC bills will reach the White House. The three political groups in the House-Republicans, administration Democrats and southern Demo crats feel that they are off a po- (Continued on page Two) Fight Launched To End Rent Control WASHINGTON. Feb. 27 -ilf- The administration was confronted today with an unexpected and pow erful challenge to its hones for keeping federal rent controls. A proposal to force the rent con trol agency to prepare for its own end by June 30 waa hooked to a money bill in a surprise weekend move by the Senate appropriations committee. The appropriation measure, tag ged as urgent because it contains authority for a stepped-up atomic program, is due for early action in the senate. If the rent control rider is ac cepted, it would seem to end any chance for another year's renewal of the program as urged by Pre sident Truman. In asking Congress last month to continue rent controls for a year beyond June 30, Mr. Truman said they still are needed in many areas to prevent severe hardships and a cut in consumer buying power. About 11.000.000 housing units in 353 areas throughout the country stil! are under rent control. Oregon Welfare Aid In January Sets Record PORTLAND, eb. 27 UP One of every 25 Oregonians received welfare assistance last month. It was a record total for the atate. The state public welfare commis sion said there were more than 40,000 cases with costs booming to a new high of S2.230.S19.

Despite this, the commission re ported it was able to remain within its budget. The commission voted, however, to rut able-bodied single men from relief rolls starting April 1. when more work becomes avail able.

Ren. Vinson (D-Ga ), chairman of the House armed services com mittee. Is the author. He predict ed House approval. President Truman's military ad visers asked for a straight-out ex tension of the present law, which expires in June. Under this law, men could be drafted in peace time although none tias been for more than a year. Military men urged it aa insurance against any waste of time in an emergency. Vinson's bill doesn't go anywhere near as tar. It would extend the registration and classification sys tem of selective service for three years. However, no one could act ually be drafted unless Congress passed a separate law to that ef- tect.
