WW A man walked into a tavern here last night, shot and killed the bar tender Raymond Henderson, 36, of Oakland, and then with two helpers lined up the patrons and robbed them. Sgt. Edward P. Wilson of the Emeryville police said the killer walked to the bar and asked Henderson, "Where is Monk?" The bartender, Wilson said, mo tioned to a backroom, indicating a caretaker nicknamed Monk was back there, and the man raised a small shotgun and fired. . 'Two other men entered the tavern, ordered the six patrons to line up along the wall, and robbed them, Wilson said. He said all paper money was taken from the cash register. The holdup men were not masked. - " Melvin E. Parsons, of Rich mond, Calif., was struck over the -head with a DlacKjacK ana robbed of a $1,750 check and $15 in cash, Wilson reported. The police sergeant said a soldier, Cpl. Jack L. Steward, of Camp Knight, had left the tavern, heard the shot and returned. He was ordered Into the holdup line, and his wallet was taken. Wilson said the three men ' escaped by automobile. Police -throughout California were notl' jled to join a search for them. i LAND VALUATION UP " SALEM (U,R) Assessed valua j lion of Marion County lands has ; teen increased by approximately ! $1,500,000 as a result of a 25 per ! .ient blanket increase, County As sessor Roscoe Shelton said today.

Junkers Try Again So much for this dangerous Hit-J ier youtn movement, Dut n wouia be a mistake to think that this is the sole source of support for the revival of Nazisni. The Prussian militarists, whose only interest in Hitlerism is that it fitted in with their schemes for expansion of the Reich by conquest, will do their utmost to unhorse the Al lies. Apropos of this, when I was at the war crimes trials at Nuern burg a short time ago I reported that the defense of former Relchs marshal Hermann Goerlng and some other prominent figures was directed fully as much towards whitewashing me Hitler regime as towards securing acquittal for those in the dock. In fact it strikes me that Goerlng is quite resigned to conviction and is devoting his energy towards vindicating his government and thereby provid ing propaganda for a restoration. The Youth movement plot Isn't surprising, of course, for it has been In the cards all along. And It isn't the last thing of its kind which we shall see, because it's natural for a beaten people to try to overthrow their conquerors. You can see the threat of this In the sullen and often bitter looks you get from many Germans. Nazi Testifies On Red Talks (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) bentrop could testify on that mat ter. Rlbbentrop said that at the time the alleged secret agreement was negotiated "There was not the slightest doubt in the minds of Hitler or Stalin that if all nego tiations with Poland came to naught, territory taken from our two countries by force of arms would be reunited to them by force of arms. In this manner, the eastern boundaries (of Po land) would be turned over to the Soviet Union and the west ern territories to Germany." What Russia Wanted Nazi efforts to Induce Russia to join an Axis three-power pact failed, Ribbentrop said, because the Soviet's price for signing was too high. He listed the Russian terms as: 1. A free hand In Finland, which "we supposed would lead to the occupation of Finland." 2. Close relations with Bulgaria, which the "Bulgarian government did not want." 3. Certain rights in the darden elles, which Mussolini opposed. 1. An outlet through the Bai lie, which would have brought up the question of the Skagerrak, Japs Made Little Use Of Coded Weather LOS ANGELES U.R The Jap anese intercepted and broke U. S. weathor codes, but failed to take full advantage of the information, Col. Theodore R. Glllenwaters, Gen. Douglas MacArthur's top weatherman, said today. Glllenwaters, homo on terminal leave, said the Japanese got all the meteorological data thev want ed, despite censorship rules against mentioning weather. The Pacific weather reports In Tokyo were authentic, but very ! iimo gin io men- neia command- ers, and when It did thev made very little tactical use of It," said Glllenwaters, former operations chief of the Army Air Forces' Worldwide Weather Service. "Japanese forces followed a broad storm front in their ap proach to Midway and evacuated Kiaka under cover of dense Aleu tian fogs, but these were very elementary applications of the science." 9x12 Rues rlraned.

PINKHAM'S VSSZl Astronomer Relates Methods Of Tracina Comet Courses By J. HUGH PRUETT Astronomer, Extension Division, Oregon Higher Education System ' So numerous are the little com ets that every year clutter up the skyways In the general vicinity of our old earth, that astronom ers seldom bother the general public with them. Occasionally, however, one is very interesting although it never brightens to naked-eye visibility. On February 2, the announce ment came from Rome that M. Timmers of the Vatican observa tory had discovered a comet of magnitude nine. Since celestial objects of magnitude six are the dimmest seen by the best of eyes without optical aid, this comet was thus far below unaided-eye perceptibility. Its brightness would have to increse 16 times even to be faintly glimpsed in a clear, moonless sky. Within the next few nights Comet Timmers was observed at uick, mm, uuweu aim ine u.o. Naval observatories, and its po sitions at the various times care fully noted as to right ascension and declination. These terms re fer to apparent angular positions on the sphere of the sky which correspond to longitude and lati tude on our earthly globe. Orderly Orbit The motions of the heavenly bodies are so orderly, and students of nature on our planet have through the centuries learned so well the mathematical laws of these motions, that if the posi tions of a comet among the stars is carefully measured on three different nights, the calculation of a fairly accurate preliminary or bit may be made. From these calculations, tables may be prepared which will en able the operator of a telescope which is equipped with angle measuring circles to point it so a-curately at the comet's position at any hour during the next few months that he may confidently expect to see the little sky-Wan derer as soon as he looks into the eyepiece. Position Table Tables of position for Comet Timmers from January to June were soon prepared and distrib- Court Hears Case For Accident Claim With Judge Carl Wimberly of Roseburg on the bench, the Lane County Circuit Court Monday opened the case of Bryan L.

Senate Group Urges Funds for McNary Dam SEATTLE OP) The Senate Appropriations Committee has recommended early allocation of 4 4nn ftnn to nturf rnnclfiicMAn nn the McNary Dam. Sen. Magnuson JD-Wasn) said nere Saturday. The dam is planned for the junction of the Umatilla and Columbia Rivers and will be anchored to Washington and Ore gon shores. Magnuson said the money would bo sufficient for prepara tion of the site, involving the moving of railroads and high ways, a project expected to take at least a year. Manadonese Complain Of Cigaret Partiality BATAVIA (U.R American cig arets were partially responsible for a mutiny of native troops March 11 at Manado, it was dis closed Monday. An Australian officer who as sisted in quelling the revolt ex plained that Dutch officers were being supplied with American cig arets, while Manadonese were given only Japanese brands. He said the difference in qual ity of the cigarets was near the top of the Manadonese list of com plaints. TWO DIE IX FIRE PORTLAND, April 1 if) Two elderly invalids were dead following minor fires lust night and this morning. Mrs. Aria L. Woolbrldge.

It is most interesting to spot one of these little te!e.scopic comets from the prepared tables. Two of us first looked for Comet Timmers in a wonderfully, clear and. moonless sky on February 25. . There it was -in the position predicted, a fuzzy little object with a bright central nucleus and a faint indication of a nebulous tail pointing away from the sun as do all orthodox cometary ap pendages. Surrounding it in the circular field of view were many little stars of various brilliancies. We were reaching into the great spaces for an interplanetary trav eler far beyond the ken of un aided vision. All spring Comet Timmers will be wandering in the general lo cality of the north star and will decrease in brightness very slow ly. A sell-addressed postal card : sent ,0 wrlter .at Eugene by or,erators of c rcle-eau oped tele- : scopes will bring data for locat ing the comet. Federal Intake Exceeds Outgo (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) sharper than those of income. Spending In the first quarter of this year was $12,690,000,000 which failed to approach the $23, 841,000,000 poured out mostly for war in the initial 1045 quarter. But the country is still spending under Ihe.war account to main tain the armed forces, for muster-ing-out pay and other essential needs. In the first three months this year the outlay for this pur pose was around $9,000,000,000. In the corresponding period last year it was $21,655,000,000. Sales of U. S. saving bonds dur ing the first quarter were $2,123, 000,000, compared with $2,584, 000,000 in the first three months of 1945. Bond Tay-Offs Bond redemptions in the first quarter amounted to some $1,789, 000,000, compared with $1,077, 000,000 in the like 1945 period. This was considered by the treas ury to be a good record. A rise in redemptions had been expected but the total was well below what had been anticipated. Most people are holding their bonds for def inite investment purposes the treasury said. Since Jan. 1 the United States has increased its gold holdings by $191,000,000, to a total, according to latest figures, of more than $20,256.00,0000. The gold supply declined by some $2,500,000,00 during the course of the war. . ....... Teamsters Open Week-Long Meet SEATTLE (U.R) More 300 delegates from 11 than states Monday attended opening sessions of the week-long 10th .Western Conference of Teamsters. Dave Beck, international vice president of the Teamsters Union (AFL) will deliver the keynote speech. The lost conference of the union was held in Seattle in 1944. Beck said negotiations for an eight-hour day and a five-day work week for cannery workers, both locally and in California, would be studied and that at tempts would be made to reach a uniform pattern for wage scales and work hours for the 11 western states. River Channel Proposal Opposed in Oreqon City OREGON CITY 0P Letters opposing a proposed change in the Willamette Valley Flood Control Project from one of high dams to live channelization were being framed here today. The Clackamas County Court, Oregon City Chamber of Com merce and representatives of the Willamette River. Commission met Saturday night and decided that arguments against high dams on the grounds they would de stroy the fishing Industry, are not supported by evidence. Federal and state officers will be advised of, their views.

KRL'-GON wold fc,- HIKONS EVEHVBODV'i DRUG U.S. Army in China To Be Deactivated SHANGHAI Deactivation of the United States Army in the I China theater May 1 was an ' nounced today by Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer upon instructions from the joint chiefs of staff in ! Washington. I This will leave 3000 to 4000 U. S. Army personnel in China to carry on with the military advis ory group headed by General George C. Marshall and to serve on the truce teams and aid with repatriation and similar residual duties. Those figures were announced by Wedemeyer. He said only 6000 U. S. troops are in China now, though there were 65,000 at the wartime peak. The 30,000 Marines under his command will revert to Navy control, Wedemeyer said. He did not indicate whether they might leave north China. - However, the Marines are being demobilised rapidly. Maj. Gen. ICeller E. Rockey, commander of the Marines, told reporters in February that his troops had vir tually completed their original task securing ports and facilities to assist Chinese troop movements and helping disarm Japanese troops. Wedemeyer is scheduled to leave Thursday for the United States. He plans to undergo a sinus operation and presumably will confer with President Tru man and other officials in Wash ington. He said, he did not know whether he would return to China. Lt. Gen. Alvln C. Gillem, Jr., will serve as U. S. comman der on Wedemeyer's departure. Fishing Industry's Import Told Kiwanis The importance of the fishing Industry to the state of Oregon was the keynote of Representa tive Earl Hill's address to Kiwanis members at the organization's weekly luncheon meeting at the Osburn Hotel Monday. "The fishing industry is the third largest industry in the state," Hill asserted. In addition, he added, there are 30,000 people in the state of Oregon who live directly upon the fishing indus try and every possible effort must be made to insure the restocking and protection of the state's food fish resources. Hill described the measures taken by the State Fish Commis sion to protect the future of the food fish industry, including in troduction of modern methods of operating fish hatcheries and re search into a strange fungus dis ease which killed 997 salmon which had come up the McKenzle River to spawn before they had laid their eggs. Representative Hill was intro duced at the meeting by chairman of the day Alan Wheeler. Presi dent Harry Chase presided at the meeting. 4-H Clubs Sponsor Movie Idea Contest Four-H Club leaders and mem bers in Lane County have an op portunity to gain nation-wide rec ognition and receive valuable awards by participating in the new National 4-H Movie contest, E.
