PAGE TWO Three Important Bills Signed And Three Other Measures Vetoed by Sprague Friday Legislators and Municipal Officials See v Governor Pijt Into Effect New Speed Law; State Building, UCC Bills Signed (See Picture on Face One) Gov. Charles A. Sprague signed important unemployment compensation : bills, the measure authorizing construction of a $1,000,000 office building in Salem and the prima facie speed law Friday, He vetoed three bills. Three of the speed bill's auth ors, Sens. Dorothy McCulough Lee and Douglas McKay and Rep. Harvey Wells, and a group of Portland and Oregon City munici pal officials, witnessed the sign ing of this measure. The governor s signature was affixed to the two most disputed unemployment compensation bills of the recent legislative session, HB 400, eliminating a majority of the seasonality exemptions, and HB 414, revising the experience rating schedule.' Executive approval also was given a bill providing for inves tigation of voters registrations in Multnomah county. One of the vetoed bills, by Sen. Coe McKenna, Multnomah coun ty, would have extended the so called "fair trades" law to per sons engaged in service trades. Difficult to apply in the sell ing of merchandise it seems to me it would be Quite impossi ble of general aplication to the service trades," Gov. Spragne's veto message read. Another vetoed bill authorized the vacation and relocation of county roads on or near airports. The third disapproved measure was designed to cure defects in deeds and conveyances. Other bills signed by Governor Sprague: SB 355. by Zurcher Relating to county road districts. SB 387. by Kenin Relating to voca tional schools.

The other provides for cooper ation of adjoining cities in munic ipal governmental affairs. Realty Board Hears Dean On c?Income" Requiring everyone to contrib ute directly in some measure to support of the federal government would quickly bring about a de mand for retrenchment but the national administration seems dis posed to continue loading the burden upon corporations and individuals whose incomes are above the average, Dean George jMcLeod of the Willamette univer sity law school said in address ing the Salem Realty board at its Friday luncheon. Federal income in the first year after the government was creat ea, amounted to $zu8,uou and in the first decade it was less than tne amount now expended in a single day, jjMcLeod asserted. The speaker analyzed the find ings in a rsumoer ox court cases involving income tax appeals to point out some of the principles established by the courts to an swer the sometimes knotty ques tions "what is income? and "whose income? . The Realty board voted to sup port Willamette university's re quest that a stamp be issued com memorating the university's cen tennial in 1942.

Was Yugoslavia really going to throw the pact all the way into the discard? Was complete repudiation to come and had not the Yugoslavs thus far stepped short of such a direct challenge? So went in effect the rhetorical questions posed in Berlin. There was, however, significant action in the German press and radio stories of the mistreatment of German nationals in Yugoslavia and there was a dry observation that Germany knew how to re spond to such matters. The Japanese foreign minister, Yosuke Matsuoka, who reached Berlin just in time to see Yugo slavia refuse to have any part of the "new order," had an unpro- grammed talk with the German foreign minister presumably about that very upset. Looks Like Nazis Urge Japan to Start Fighting It appeared likely that the nazis were urging Japan to get actively into the war perhaps to attack Singapone and were suggesting that if the Japanese didn't act soon they were not likely to get much in spoils if the axis won the war, reigraue, a city wnicn over night had become a symbol of defiance, saw renewed diploma tic activity by Britain's non-bel ligerent Turkish allies, as well as the direct entry by the United States into the situation. The Turkish minister talked at length with Premier Simovie, and diplomats understood that his er rand was to propose a mutual as sistance pact with Yugoslavia. Arthur Bliss Lane, the United States minister, took direct ac tion. He handed to the Simovie government a note stating that under the lease-lend act the United. States was ready to give material assistance to Yugosla via "as to all other nations seeking to maintain their inde pendence and integrity to repel aggression." In unoccupied France there was a similar demonstration suggest ing the psychological importance of Yugoslavia's revolt against the nazis, and elsewhere there were small but perhaps significant in cidents. In Marseille thousands of frenchmen, shouting "Long live Yugoslavia!" demonstrated during tne day and into the night, laugh ing at police restraint In Amsterdam, the German au inormes fined a Dutchman for wearing a lapel button showing the orange lion associated with the Dutch royal house, apparent ly holding it to be evidence of a growing method of silent demon stration. In Amsterdam, too, two citizens were sentenced to 18 months im prisonment for writing doggerel poking fun at Hitler. The biggest news of the war on the western front was a British assertion that 100 per sons had been killed and 7090 injured In recent RAF raids on Bremen, Germany, and that in Hanover recently 250 had been killed. Berlin, too, was said to have suffered such "cumulative damage" and heavy casualties that there had been a major flight from the city since the beginning of March. T he s e figures enormously greater than even ever hinted at by the Germans were issued in London alongside a statement that British civilian dead since the war began aggregated 28,859 killed and 40,166 seriously wound ed. In the African campaign the British, predicting that it would soon be all over there for Musso lini, declared that the Italians were in full flight in Eritrea to ward the colonial capital of As mara from Vcheren and that many thousands of prisoners had been taken. The Italians officially acknowl edged the fall of Cheren. and said the battle was "continuing in the immediate neighborhood.

In night attacks on Hanover, the report added, 250 persons were killed, 250 houses destroyed' and 500 seriously damaged and an area in the town center laid waste by explosives and incendiaries.
