"Very little opposition," waa en- , i a &. a. countered, tne ministry aiu, out two German fighters definitely were shot down and possibly a third. The air ministry ami aerv Ice described the raid on Calais docks as "even more successful" than the attack on Boulogne and said bombs ."showered on j many parts of the harbor. . Other hits, it said, were scored on harbor buildings and a dock- aide railroad was hit directly. . ' The ministry quoted one pilot as saying: I watched bombs ex plode -and co aid see their bursts lift t ships clean out of the water. We could see the bottoms of small craft as they overturned and fell back completely wreck ed."1' " V 1 Polish hurricane- fighters were iredtteff-wtthsboUng down two MessersthteHf 10&a over Dunker que. The gunner of a Blenheim said: I could see bombs bursting all over the harbor a grand sight." German warplanes appeared orer Britain singly In scattered raids despite "Ideal" flying con ditions, the British reported--London had several quiet hours after dusk before the alert sounded. Bombers also appeared orer East Anglia and an east midland town. , The high command in Berlin announced its far-ranging bomb ers sank 24,500 tons of British shipping in a convoy off Portu gal and machine-gunned the British-held airport at Reykjavik, Iceland, on Sunday. Heavy aerial activity also was reported on the Albanian front. Reports reaching Bitolj, Yugoslavian frontier town, aid there had been a violent day long battle along the whole front with many air fights. The Greeks said their fighter planes shot down two Italian bombers over the Klisura-Tepe-llni sector and six others else where.

A. Green of Portland, attorney for the Oregon federation of la bor.

A representative of the Coke Workers' union voiced objection to one labor bill which he said would give the state a monopoly. It was pointed out that this union is employed by the Portland Gas c Coke company and has a self Insurance plan move liberal In payments than that of the indus trial accident commission. The committee will hold anoth er hearing upon these bills Wed nesday.

You can afford the finest right mow, Richard Crooks Captivates Salem Audience in r By MAXINE BUREN ! The greatest singer yet to ard Crooks, last night captivated his audience with a glorious tenor voice and warm personality. His program was mostly in English and included such melodious and beloved classics as "I Love Thee" and "A Dream" by Grieg. r "The audience always loves the Grieg numbers" he 'said during an Interview at intermis sion, "I re-learned them from the German this year, my listen ers seem -to like them even bet ter in English." - When asked if the average au dience of today knows more about music than that of a few yean ago, Mr. Crooks answered "Un doubtedly, the radio baa done that, if nothing more. The aver age man or woman knows, and appreciates good music much more now than ever before. Enjoys Concert Tours Sitting behind stage chatting and signing photographs for mem bers of the Community Concert association board. Crooks said he enjoyed concert tours more than any other type of singing engage ment. "Tiring? No, that's what I was trained for." He. evidently has little or no temperament. His encores alone would have made an excellent program; most ly requests, they included: "Have You Seen but a White Lily Grow?", Schubert's "Serenade," "None but the Lonely Heart," "The Dream" from Manon by Massenet, "A Spanish Serenade," 'Neopolltan Love Song" and "Songs My Mother Taught Me." Numbers Well Received Among the most applauded numbers were the two Grieg num bers, Foster's "Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming," and "Ah Love but a Day" by Pratheroe. The accompanist, Frederick Schauwecker, played one group of piano numbers including "Ameri can Tango" by Carpenter, Mac Dowell's "A Scotch Poem" and concluded with an original num ber, "A Christmas Folk Song." Peace Oratorical Contest Tonight Waller hall. Willamette univer sity, will be the scene of the state peace oratorical contest tonight at 7:30. The competition is sponsored annually by the Intercollegiate Forensic association of Oregon, an organization which includes most western Oregon colleges.

Rich Court Refuses Ford "Review" Company to Comply With Ruling and Reinstate Workers With Pay (Continued From Page X) The Ford ' company, whose la- boa policies have led to the de mand from some quarters that it be denied government defense contracts, was held responsible by the board for assaults on per sons distributing CIO union leaf lets at! its River Rouge plant near Detroit in 1937. The picketing cases, both in volving unions in Chicago, found the eight-man court in disagree ment, with Justice Frankfurter writing the majority opinions. They were decided thus: 1. An injunction restraining an AFL hairdressers and cos metologists union from picket ing the Ross W. Swing beauty parlor, was held an unconstitu tional interference with free dom of speech. The proprietor of the parlor said the picketing started after his 10 women em ployes refused to join the union and he declined to compel them to do so. "The interdependence of eco nomic interest of all engaged in the same industry has be come a commonplace, said Frankfurter's opinion. "The right of free communication cannot therefore be mutilated by denying it to workers, in a dispute with an employer, even though they are not in his em ploy." Chief Justice Hughes and Jus tice Roberts dissented.

As she came In the front door and started down the corridor she observed a man standing in front of. her apartment door, peering at the note she had writ ten. The man turned to her as she came nearer. "Lady," he said, "I was supposed to meet my wife at Mrs. Blank's, but this note has me puzzled. Are you Mrs. Blank?" Mrs. Blank, the dressmaker, glanced quickly at the note she had pinned on her door and then, with quick presence of mind said. "No, Mister, I'm a stranger here myself." She walked on, never looking back at the note on her door which said, "Go on in and get undressed. I'll be back In a few minutes. Mrs. Blank ""4 I i I i ' I v - f ,, I I itfll Willi!

The senate, meeting In a half-hour caucus, adopted Pres ident of the Senate Dean H. "Walker's suggestions for "oil ing the machinery so we can finish this session as fast as we possibly can. Walker, serving notice he will "enforce senate rules strictly and will begin to throw the gavel at the members," suggested restric tions on making amendments from the floor, that senators avoid taking time by introducing guests while the senate Is consid ering itsJbusiness, that commit tees begin to pass out their bills to the floor, and that visitors be prohibited from entering the senate for a half hour before and after each session. The senators also backed up Walker's position that all old age pension bills should be refer red to the ways and means com mittee. Walker said such bills should go to this committee so it can determine if enough money is available for larger pensions. Walker asked the members to cease moving for reconsid eration of their bills when they are defeated. The senate ' passed bills to en able local housing authorities to obtain federal funds for housing in crowded areas near defense industries, and to provide penal ties of 10 years In prison or $10,000 fine for person who sabotage defense Industries or military establishments.

Llnfoot, secretary of the state loganberry and black berry control boards. George Hull, Salem beverage dispenser, also spoke for the measure. Fortified wine, declared Roy R. Hewitt, local attorney, frequently breaks down the mental and mor al resistance of drinkers. Those from outside the statephave been found to contain mixtures of "mo lasses and pulp," he testified. Hewitt's charge was vigorously denied by George W. Felkins, Lodi, Calif., vinegard association representative. "It is not true that Oregon has been used as a dumping ground for Inferior California wine," Felkins maintained. Rep. Jones' contention that his bill would lead to heavier con sumption of natural berry wines and lighter consumption of the fortified variety was declared by another witness, Carl Steinseifer, to be false. "The legislature might just as well pass a law requiring a woman going into a butcher shop to buy a T-bone steak to " accept liver instead, Steinseif er said. Sweet wines need no defense, testified Orren Brownson, Eugene, for the Oregon Wine council. "California wines will continue to compete in the Oregon market regardless of legislation," Brown son said. Speakers Favor New Guard Plan (Continued From Page 1) effectiveness to two years and preventing the guard's being used In labor disputes, Sen. Thom as R. Mahoney said he would recommend these changes In the bill. Robert McGregor, representing the Portland emergency council for democratic rights, suggested that guardsmen be bonded In the amount of $5000 each to indemni fy them against damages and injuries.

Although - the British decision had long been foreshadowed - by Germany's growing domination of Rumania and her military-Infiltration, there had been no recent warning , that the final rupture between the World war allies and once closely associated friends was so near. There was no official Rumanian comment, but everywhere one heard expressions of regret from the Rumanian man-in-the-street, who had hoped to the end that Britain would find it possible to remain. Now that the break has come, neutral diplomatic sources specu lated whether Britain would de clare war on Rumania, especially since the presence of nazi troops on her soil and her wells supply ing oil for the axis war machine provide military targets for Brit ish bombers.
