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.

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. They were In
clined to the belief that there
might be a confusion in Identities.
Mr. Richmond, however, had not
been see or heard of in Eugene in
the past two weeks. Acquaint
ances guessed his height at 9 feet
9 inches, and his weight at 165
pounds.

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.

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.
