WASHINGTON, March -(A1)
The smashing victory . of Gen.
Douglas MacArthurVbig bombers
in wiping out an enemy armada
In the Bismarck sea has com
pletely disrupted Japanese plans
for the coming campaigns in the
south Pacific,: Undersecretary of
War Patterson announced today,
; UL Gen. Henry H. Arnold, com
' tnander of the army air forces,
said the' Japanese had been dealt
! si -crushing defat" and that "in
" attacking and eliminating the en-
emy where 'he was most vulner
able and before he had time to
get set, IA. Gen. George C Ken
ney, commanding the allied air
forces in the southwest Pacific,
: had utilized the striking power of
his air force to the fullest ad
vantage. Arnold, in "a statement, said the
battle had "reeznphasized the ef
fectiveness of air power." ;
Tokyo's purpose in sending the
ill-fated convoy of 12 transports
and 10 warships down from Ba
baul, New Guinea, was viewed
here as defensive rather than of
fensive. Patterson's reference to
"the coming campaigns in the
south Pacific, therefore, was
taken to mean allied offensives
which the Japs now will be un
able to stop.
These may take the form of in
iensified aerial attacks along the
whole perimeter of Japanese
islands in the south Pacific, from
Malaya eastward.
In this connection a navy
communique reported that lib
erator heavy bombers struck' at
faur enemy-held areas In the
northwestern Solomon islands
Wednesday (east lonsitode
time) even as the Bismarck sea
-attack was under way. Bombs
were dropped at Kahili, Bnln,
Ballale and Vila and every
American plane returned.
At the same time Dauntless dive
ombers with Wildcat fighter es
cort raided Munda on New Geor
gia island for the 82nd time,
starting a fire there, and these
planes likewise all returned. It
was assumed that the- Liberators
and dive bombers operated out of
Guadalcanal.

The Battleship Oregon commis
sion came in for acid remarks
when its appropriation bill came
up for -senate consideration and
the Multnomah delegation for
some pointed twitting .';
Sen. Strayer said he was sup
porting the bill "wholly for the
purpose of liquidating that bunch
of parasites."
The number one senate Spanish
war veteran. Sen. Wipperman,:
didn't like that crack, retorting:
"I take exception, as a Spanish
war veteran. This project has
been of intensely patriotic nature
as well as of educational value.'
Sen. Strayer explained that
he was "not referring; to Span
ish war veterans, but to a little
croup that has milked over
quarter of a million dollars out
of the treasury of this state."
The twitting came from Sen.
"Scotty" Gibson, who represents!
Lane and Linn counties and, as1
chairman, the ways and means
committee. Recalling the Multno
mah delegation's part in defeat
ing a $7200 appropriation for the
Willamette valley basin commis
sion, he said he was "going to
support this (Battleship Oregon)
bill despite the fact the Multno
mah delegation wouldn't support
our bill yesterday to: keep this
museum from floating down the
river'
The "museum" incidentally
didn't float away, but I was towed
away a few days ago to be scrap
ped for war metals, j Only the
museum displays it had housed
and its main-mast were left be
hind as mementoes of the gallant
old ship's historic race around
Cape Horn. '

For Qairning Overtime Pay
Protection for employers who don't know, whether or "not
ky affected by the federal wage and hour act was provided
in v senate bill passed Thursday bv the Orvron hmi Af rmw.
fientatiyes, 40 to 18, after opponents had protested that the rem-
was. uiuuc u me Dtmi or
rank injustice to wwkers.
The bill is a statute of limlta.
tions affecting only extra pay for
overtime, and requires that claims
for such additional nav be flint
within six months after the work
is performed. Rep. Eugene Marsh
said this provision benefited bath
employers, and workers.' ctunst
eases in which employers were
ruined financially and their work
ers, left unemployed. He added
that in many cases employes were
forced to accept overtime pay cov
ering long periods, against their
wffl.
Rep. Phil Bradv described the
bUl as "vicious,' depriving work
ers ol their rixhts. and Reo. Lea
Smith said it was rankly discrim
inatory since no other statue of
limitations provided for a period
comparably brief. The ordinarv
limitation is six years, though spe
cial statutes provide for lesser
periods.
The house sent back to the high
way revenue committee for
amendment, the newest version of
a "long truck" bUl which merely
legalized the present pernussion
granted by the highway depart
ment for operation of trucks in
excess of statutory i wiavtmut
length and weight Re-referral
was preceded by a sharp tilt in
which objection was raised to
amendment on the , floor. Rep.
Burt K. Snyder, committee chair
man, had asked unanimous' con
sent to remove lansruaee: whfrh
appeared to be redundant :,
' Between tussles over the sales
tax and the one-man tax commis
sion proposal, the house found
time to complete its calendar.

Sen. Thomas R. Mahoney intro
