dsy as center of Interest for Ore
gon's legislators as last minute
preparations for the biennial as
isembly, the state's 41st and the
second in the new capltol, are un
dertaken. Forces contending for the lower
' house speakership rallied In Port-,
" land yesterday seeking to cinch
the office for William M. McAllis
' ter of Bedford, on the one hand,
and for Robert S. Farrell, jr., of
Portland, on the other.
But the word from Portland
last night waa that the Jockeying
was still going on, with the Far
reU camp expecting to make its
finish fight on the floor of the
house Monday morning and the
McAllister supporters daring the
Portlander to put his strength to
the test of a written ballot al the
, traditional session-eye caucus at
the Marion hotel here tonight.
If Farrell refuses to show to
night, one McAllister spokesman
declared, the "Mac-for-us" men
may attempt to ' pnt their man
across at an exclusively republi
can caucus. -. .-,
Fatreir still' claimed Che Jteces

good chance to pick np two more.
" The former was reported willing
to go into caucus if he could mus
ter all of his backers at that time
but not for a secret ballot, which
McAllister asked for yesterday.
Saying he would ask for a writ

formal statement' issued in Port-
land, explained: ...

Today
New Oregon Code Has Grave
b Errors; Acceptance Held up
1 1 Discovery of two glaring errors
In the new 1940 Oregon codes, of
which the first nine volumes were
received last week, led the state
supreme court yesterday to defer
their ; official acceptance pending
jrecelpt of a proposal by the print
ers, Mancroft-Whitney company.
Ban Francisco, to make corrections.-
. .w: i X- ' . ' v i
. The company ..will submit its
proposal to the court Monday.
There was an indication the court
might demand reprinUng of -the
two volumes In, which the errors
appear;" 4':
Described aA the most confus
ing error -was inclusion in the new
code of the 1S39 legislative act
.changing the date of the primary
election front the third Friday in
?May to the first Wednesday after
the . first Monday , in September.
This law was subjected to the ref

Food Stamps Are
Accepted in linn
ALBANY, Jan. 11 .-;p)-The
Linn county publie welfare com
mission accepted the food stamp
plan to distribute surplus com
modities to welfare clients today
after withholding approval for
two months.
. Mrs., Edwin Fortmiller, com
mission chairman, said the effec
tive date of the action depended
upon the state welfare commis
sion, s .
The ! action was forced, she
added, by withdrawal of federal
surplus , commodities, although
the .commission feared the plan
was' "not in the best interests of
the welfare "program -. in - Linn
county." .

It appears in the new code, re
pealed! sections of the old law,
which properly are still the law
of the state.
v- The ! other error " was similar,
inclusion in the new code of the
night club law amending the state
liquor act,-passed by the 1939 leg
islature. It also was referred to
the people and defeated in Novem
ber.
A third section, a 1939 Colunv
Ma county salary, bill, in the new
code also was questioned.
- Thei state contracted to buy
1000 sets of the new. code at
162.60 each. The contract deliv
ery date, December 15, was not
met. . ' ?
Intended to be a permanent
work, in contrast with previous
codes, ! the new printing of the

wide publicity, partly because the

man disclose however that H. O.
Saunders was not a Los Angeles
policeman at that time. Records

H. O. Saunders was neverthe

a Vpolice garage'.' in the general
vicinity of Hollywood. In this

It is a matter of record that a
"police garage racket" prevailed
for several years In Los Angeles
and that complaints were present

Hundreds of Londoners on roof

another devastating fire as scores
of nasi warplanes showered in
cendiary bombs oa the capital.
Fire engines, sirens and anti

to repeat the big fire of December

and there were indications the
damage was lighter than in the

Portsmouth, raided by the Ger

admitted "a number of fatalities"
and "considerable damage."
