An issue that will precipitate one of the major battles of the 1941 Oregon legislature will reach the house of rep resentatives today in the form of four bills to amend the un employment compensation act. ! Labor wants greater benefits for longer periods of un employment and for more workers;! and employers want an opportunity to earn reductions in their payroll "taxes. Labor's demands will be voiced in four amendments which Rep-' resentatlve Phil Brady, Portland democrat and AFL labor leader, says he will introduce today, be fore the weekend recess. The bills propose to: 1. Strike "experience rating" from the present law, whereunder employers after next July 1 will become entitled to payroll tax re ductions if their records .have been good, from the standpoint of drains by their employes on the unemployment fund. S. Increase maximum weekly benefits from the present 1 15 to $24, increase the maximum benefit-receiving period from 1 to 20 weeks, but maintain the present $7 a week minimum. S. Cut the waiting period be fore benefits are paid to one week, from the present three. 4. Eliminate exemptions now granted to seasonal employers.

The raid began at an unusually late hour for attacks on London and the rattle of machine-gun fire overhead indicated the fighters were in action. Before London was attacked, raiding nazi planes were in flight over other areas of England. Three bombs were dropped at one midlands town, falling, in a cemetery and recreation grounds and causing no casualties. . As the hostile planes droned high over the midlands, the force of anti-aircraft fire appeared to make them fly In circles in an ef fort to avoid being hit.
