Newspaper Page TextPage Two. THE" REGISTER-GUARD. EUGENE. OREGON Newsman Survives sfrious Attack (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) one deck below. A sheet of fire burned my face. Throughout the assault the car ' tier's pom-pom gum kept up a continuous fire, putting up a wall of fire through which the nazis dived head-on. A flight of British planes which succeeded In taking off from the Illustrious before the Germans struck also made the nazis pay. The final score in German planes shot down was 12. (DNB, The German official news agency, said the Illustrious suffered extensive damage to her port side and claimed It would be a long time before she could be put Into service again.) The attack on the Illustrious came after a British cruiser at tached to the convoy sank one of Italy's newest destroyers, the 842 ton Vega, and damaged another. I had a ringside seat for this engagement, during which the British cruiser also engaged Ital ian shore batteries (presumably on the Sicilian coast). The cruiser opened the battle when she sighted the two destroy ers dead ahead. A shell from the British vessel set one of the des troyers afire and she moved off at top speed, losing herself In the mist along the coast as the cruiser engaged her mate. The latter, the Vega, exchanged shell for shell with the cruiser until her magazine suffered a di rect hit. I saw a great mass of flame shoot up from the Vega and lha slipped swiftly beneath the waves with her entire crew of 94 man. British naval units continued to fire at the Italian shore bat teries, which fell silent after the Vega sank. A British plane dropped bombs on the other flee ing destroyer and Britlah ex Dressed a belief possibly she sank or was beached somewhere along Pantelleria Island.

Eugenean Is Suicide After Hitting Cop (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) land, In addition to the social security card. IDENTIFIED HERE A Harold James Richmond lived in Eugene for several weeks, for a time at the Rogers hotel on Wil lamette street and later at 1168 Alder street. He did odd jobs about town, and for five days in the latter part of December was employed In cleaning vegetables at a local hotel kitchen. He was registered for employ ment at the local employment service office. The few Eugeneans who knew him said ha appeared to be a quiet, retiring sort of man, and were skeptical over the Portland reports that he had been mixed up In gun play.

Legislators Receive Compensation Bill (CONTINUED FROM PACE I) London Hears Selassie Ready For Revolution In Native Ethiopia LONDON, Jan. 16. (U.B Brit ish advisers to Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia said today that ha had reported from his leneral headquarters at Khartoum in the Anglo- Egyptian Sudan that 90 per rent of his tribesmen were ready to revolt against Italian rule. London newspapers report ed that revolt already was In full way In Ethiopia. than one representative are: Wash ington 2; Multnomah 13, Clacka mas 3, Marion 4, Linn 2, Lane 3, Jackson 2, Klamath 2, and Uma tilla 2. Kimberling said he would spon sor a constitutional amendment to make his apportionment plan! Dossible. The constitution now nrn-1 vides that the legislature be appor tioned according to population of each county or district. If the legislature approved the plan, the. voters would ballot on the amendment at the 1942 gen eral election. The Neuberger proposal to re apportion the legislature waa the main topic of conversation In the legislature, with most of the law makers asserting the biU hasn't a chance. Neuberger, himself, said he doubted it would pass because the upstate members would stand together to sea that the Multno mah delegation Is not Increased at their expense. Speaker Farrell announced he would appoint a special committee to consider the reapportionment, asserting the house elections com mittee did not sufficiently repre sent each section of the state. Rep. Alia- G. Carson (R-Mar-ion), former president of the state bar, introduced a measure to pro hibit attorneys who are members of the legislature from lobbying for outside interests. The measure provides penalties of from three months to a year in Jail, or $230 to $2500 fine, or both. Thirteen of the 80 house mem bers are attorneys, aa well as 7 of the 30 senators. New Building The way was paved for con struction of a (1,000,000 state of fice building in Salem when Sen. Walter E. Pearson (D-Multnomah) Introduced a bill to permit the State Bond commission to sell the bonds to finance the building. The measure is contingent on the legis lature's passing a bill to author ize construction of tha building. Each house continued to mark time today, awaiting arrival of the new law codes. Session lasted only five minutes. Measures ready for Introduction In the house would require circuit court candidates to live in their districts a year before seeking of fice; reduce interest rates from 3 to 1V4 per cent on loans smaller than $300; and permit the supreme court to appoint attorneys as tem porary circuit judges In districts with congested dockets. State parole board bills would allow paroled prisoners to vote and marry: compel judges to sen tence prisoners to maximum terms, leaving the minimums to parole authorities; exempt county Jail prisoners serving leas than six months from parole board jurisdiction.

IS, 1941, to Mr. and Mrs. Jack Oglesby, 12S Ash, a daugh ter. WESTROPE At the Sacred Heart general hospital, Tuesday, Jan. 14, 1941, to Mr. and Mrs. Loren W. Westrope, Creswell, a son. During the month of October, 1940, scheduled air carriers of the United States flew more than 10, 000,000 miles and carried about 300,000 passengers without a sin gle fatality or injury. Sfimson Has Fears Of Air Invasion (CONTINUED FROM PAGE I) could repel a force of 50,000 troops should they be landed. "I think they probably could, if the gentleman means a land in vasion," Stimson responded, add ing that he thought that airforces would accompany any attempted invasion by infantry. "Is there any airplane built which could span the Atlantic, drop bombs here and return across the Atlantic?" Fish inquired. Pretty Soon "Probably not the width of the Atlantic," Stimson said, "but they are rapidly developing in that di rection and there are many bases short of the full width of the At lantic." Asked by Fish what bases he had in mind, Stimson said: "Newfoundland would be a base within easy range of all of our New England coast. North Can ada would be within easy range of the New England coast." "Does the secretary believe," Fish continued, "that our navy would remain locked up In our harbors if any such invasion were attempted?" "No," said Stimson, "but where is our navy now?" (Most of the big ships of the navy are now based in the Pacific). Fish then inquired whether there was "fear of invasion," and the secretary replied that there was danger of an air invasion if the British fleet were destroyed or otherwise rendered ineffective for this country's protection. Stimson took the stand today after Tresury Secretary Morgen thau declared yesterday that Eng land's war orders here have vir tually been baited by a lack of ready cash. Meanwhile, it was learned that Joseph P. Kennedy, retiring am bassador to London, would testify before the house committee next Tuesday. Kennedy was an early morning visitor at the White House today. Opponents of the lease-lend bill have claimed he would support their view; supporters, however, have questioned that he would ex press any outright opposition to the policies of the president. The present situation with re gard to production of munitions, Stimson said, is "much more acute" than was that of 1917. At that time, he said, "the munitions factories and supplies of Great Britain were so abundant that they were able to supply, and did sup ply to us, the great bulk of the weapons which we then needed." Today, Stimson said, "Instead of being assisted by other nations in obtaining the weapons needed for our own delense, we are obliged to prepare our defense in consid eration of their needs." FROM WESTFIR Bert Davis, employe of the Wil lamette forest service and the Westfir Lumber company, was a business visitor in Eugene Wednesday. Hedges Says Guilty, Two Others Waive C. H. Hedges pleaded guilty In circuit court Thursday to the charge of obtaining money by false pretenses and will be sen tenced by Judge G. F. Skipworth Friday.
