Stir Rift in
Parliament
LONDON, Jan. 24-;P-Aus-tralia's
urgent demands for aid
deeply stirred Britain Saturday
night and imperiled what most
parliamentary circles regarded
as Prime Minister Churchill's
plan to protect criticized cabinet
members with the mantle of his
prestige.
Members of parliament, the
press and the man In th street
united in looking searchlngly
at Whitehall for definite news
of help dispatched to the far
flung ABCD Pacifie front
news that may be forthcoming
ln Churchill's report to parlia
ment early In the week.
Critics in parliament took pot
shots at Sir Archibald Sinclair,
air minister, and others of the
cabinet in speeches.
Even Sir Stafford Cripps, re
cently returned from Moscow as
retired ambassador, took a slap
at Whitehall with the suggestion
that certain countries might fol
low Russia's lead In ousting old
generals and giving younger offi
cers a chance.
The long silent political bu
reaus of the communist party of
Great Britain bluntly asked for
the ousting of "the men of Mu
nich" from the cabinet as respon
sible for the critical situation , in'
the southwest Pacific.
Churchill, it was reported,
planned to head off his critics
by demanding an immediate vote
of confidence.
Song Written
In Silverton
On Program
SILVERTON A patriotic son.
written by Lowell F. Hoblitt of
Silverton, formed a surprise feat
ure in the well received program
given by the Eugene Gleeman
Thursday night at the high school.
John Stark Evans, who directed,
announced that without consult
ing anyone he had decided to give
as a special number this song
written by one of the local towns
men. It was sung as a solo by
Hershal Scott. The number had a
delightful tilt and a large number
of the audience later expressed
that it would undoubtedly become
one of the popular war numbers
of World war No. 2.
An attactive feature of the con
cent was the violin work of Verne
Sellin, who played "Romance"
(Concerto in D Minor) by Wien-
iawski as a solo, and Sfmmnan.
ied Robert Johnson's baritone
solo, "Bendemeer's Stream" by
Moore-Gatty.
The program closed with "Star
Spangled Banner" with a special
brass Quartet arranged bv Con
ductor Evans, and played by
Carlson, Bates, Hunt and Spaugh,
Cora Moore Frey was accomnan.
1st for the men in their 17th sea

all proceeds of the concert will
go toward the high school tennis

Navy Reports Possible
Raids Off
Patrols Probing Reports of Flares and
Blinker Lights ; Attacks by Enemy Seen )
Probable as Feelers of US Strength
SEATTLE, Jan. 24-(VThe 13th naval district staff head
quarters reported Saturday the possibility that the Japanese may
attack merchant shipping off the west coast similar to attacks by
enemy war craft in Atlantic waters recently.
"Investigation of reports of
flares at sea and of blinker shore
lights Is going forward." the re
port added.
"US - and Canadian air and
surface patrols are continuing
their night and day vigilance.
In the Interests of security, de
tailed information received
through such patrols was not
given out Recent appearances
of submarines off the west coast
and of unidentified vessels off
Alaska, probably means that
the enemy was attempting re
connaisanee. "However," the report to the
public said, "there is no reason
to assume that the Japanese will
not attempt an attack on merchant
vessels similar to that staged the
past few days on the Atlantic
coast"
It said other reasons for the
submarine menace on this coast
might be enemy tests of the ef
fectiveness f US patrol forces;
an effort to divert these forces
to convoy duty, or possibly even
to land or pick up enemy agents.
It said Rear Admiral C. S. Free
man, commanding the Pacific
northern, naval coastal frontier,
and the naval district was con
tinuing conferences with com
mercial fishig industry leaders on
plans for protecting the fishing
fleet He said he considered the
matter of "the utmost import'
ance.

columns of the British Eighth ar
my smashed Saturday night at the
counter-attacking forces of nazi
General Erwin Rommel in a hard
and sprawling battle of tanks on
