Thus sorely, harassed, Premier

time la two months and dis
patched his chief of -staff. Gen

the fascist armies In Albania. Sig

troops after the Caporetto defeat
In the 1914-18 war.
On the Libyan desert front,
British general headquarters at
Cairo j laconically reported "no
change in the situation," but
other reports said big British field
guns hauled across 70 miles of
sandy wastes had joined the
"ring of ateel" encircling 30,000
Italian troops at Tobruk.
The heary guns, it was said.
were slamming steadily to blast
the fascist citadel's outer fortifl
cations, paving the war lor a
grand assault.
British Offer to Aid
Refugees From Libya
An Italian defeat in east Africa
appears so highly probable that
the British government is ready
not only to grant safe conduct
but "faculties" for the removal
of women and children from those
Italian possessions, the authori
tative British Press association
aid today.
If Rome accepts, the British
propose that these non-combatants
should trarel to Italy by way of
Djlbutl, French Somallland, or
from ports la Italian Somallland
and Eritrea, the agency said.
At the same time, British dis
patches from Khartoum, Anglo
Kgyptlan Sudan, quoted Emperor
Halle 8elassie as saying "The
time is not far distant" when he
would lead an army of Ethiopian
patriots against the Italians who
drove him from his throne.
The bearded "king of kings"
-declared revolt among his tribes
men was making great progress,
with tribal drums beating nightly
and "hundreds of my former sol
diers rallying to my standard."
British activity In Ethiopia was
reported on the increase. The
latest action centered in the Me
terams sector, east of Gallabat in
the Anglo-Egyptlon Sudan. Re
ports said a British patrol routed
an Italian force, killing 40 men
and wounding many. Such Inci
dents, it was said, hare encour
aged the Ethiopians In rising
against their Italian conquerors.
. Meanwhile, staff officers of the
British middle east command ar
rived in Ankara. Turkey, for mil
itary talks with the Turks dis
cussions which may sharply af
fect the course of the war in the
Mediterranean, in Africa and in
the Balkans.
Turkey, sworn to oppose any
German invasion into Turkish
southeast Europe, has a military
alliance wiiU Great Britain.
British Oat Use Three
Motives for Day Raids
la London, British sources gave
three prime motives behind the
RAF'a big-scale new daylight of
fensive: 1. As preparation for an event
ful British land ofiensire on the
continent.
t. To break-up nail invasion
forces before they can deal a cross
channel thrust.
3. To disrupt German raiders
getting tuned-up for their night
,1 assaults oi Britain.
"It is significant." commented
the authoritative British Press as
sociation, "that since the first
daylight raids upon the airdromes
nearest our shores, the enemy's
night attacks hare been of briefer
duration."
Simultaneously, it was official
ly announced in London that the
role of the United States as a
great "arsenal for the democra
ciea" was showing- speedup re
sults, with four types of American-built
warplanea already being
flown or soon to be flown across
the Atlantic to Britain.
Th increased flow of supplies
from American factories, it was
said, was a contributing factor in
Britain's newly claimed suprem
acy in the air.

Old Age Pension
Suit Abandoned
Taxpayers Will not Seek
Appeal of High Court
Recent Decision
OLTMPIA, Jan. 12.-flVThe
taxpayers suit to have the old age
pension initiative. No. 141, de
clared unconstitutional will be
dropped, the plaintiffs said today.
They lost a decision in superior
court and previously announced
an appeal would be taken.
In a statement today, A. H.
Beebe, chairman of the Washing
ton State Taxpayers association,
said the decision to drop the suit
was decided upon, "because its
major purpose was accomplished
through a federal social security
Board's ruling the eligibility pro
visions of the initiative are In
valid. The plaintiffs had taken excep
tion to those provisions of the
law, passed at the general elec
tion. The state social security committee.-following
a ruling by the
federal board, submitted a plan
for administration of the act.
A plan must be approved be
fore the federal government will
provide matching money under
the law.
Acting Social Security Depart
ment Director Olaf Olsen said the
plan complied with federal re
quirements, grants being based on
a condition of need of the appli
cants. The ruling, the plaintiff's state
ment said, "has the effect which
we sought to achieve, that of con
fining the benefits of the measure
to those actually in need, and of
preventing it from becoming sim
ply a pension measure, as sought
by its sponsors."
The initiative provides for pay
ment of $40 monthly penisions to
aged persons.

congress for special authorization.
Earlier, Speaker Rayburn said
he had ' no opposition to a time
limit if It covered the foreseeable
extent of the emergency. Sixty Or
ninety-day restriction, he Indicat
ed, would hardly do,
Representative McCormack (D-
Mass), the majority floor leader,
who. attended Rayburn'e : press
conference, added that "some sug
gestions" for amending ths mea
sure had been offered "from ths
constructive angle." 8 e n a t o r
Byrnes (D-SC), a leading admini
stration strategist, had previously
Indicated his willingness to make
some concessions.
Dispute Over Committee
Disposed of by House
During; the day. the house dis
posed of a dispute over which
committee should take charge of
the legislation. Rayburn had aa
aigned it to the foreign affairs.
However, the military committee
felt that it should have the bill.
Chairman May (D-Ky) of the lat
ter committee moved today that
the house overrule Rayburn. He
was beaten on a rolce rote.
Senator Wheeler (D-Mont),
leader of the opposition to the
British aid bill, said that while
he was "perfectly willing to sell
Great Britain anything we manu
facture In the United States' he
did not want "to finance Britain's
war, or China's war, or Greece's
war."
"if we start financing one slds
in every war, he told reporters.
"we will not only be bankrupt
but we will be Involved tn war all
over the world."
Wheeler said that Great Brit
ain now has at least $7,000,009.-
000 of assets in this country. "If
and when Britain has exhausted
her credit here," he declared.
"that will be the time for her to
ask the American people for
loans, leased equipment or gifts.
The Montana senator said his
efforts would be directed toward
outright defeat of the lease-lend
bill, rather than to curtailing
amendment.
The Montanan said that the
administration now "is trying to
smear everyone who disagrees
with its ideas." He predicted that
"this smear campaign will have a
tremendous reaction against the
administration over the country."
Rep. Fish of New York, rank
ing republican on the foreign af
fairs committee, declared from
the house floor that the admini
stration measure was "undemo
cratic, unAmerlcan, ' unconstitu
tional aad destructive to the con
