Most phases of the operations were cloaked with secrecy, hut it was established that a sizable numlxT of army planes art being dispatched to Hawaii, the key stone of the whole American de fense system In the Pacific. It was not known whether these planes would permanently aug ment thr army bomber and pur suit squadrons now on duty there, or whether the action might por tend transfer of some of the planes now In Hawaii tn more dis tant posts, such as the Philippines.

One of the motor graders and two men are maintaining south west of the Redmond, the pull grader, one truck, and two men are east of Bend, and the smaller motor grader was put on the job southeast of Bend yesterday after repairs were completed Wednes day. The grader was damaged in the warehouse fire of last month, and needrd new glass, new hose, and a motor overhaul. The remainder of the road crew and equipment are working at WPA projects. Two men, cater pillar and bulldozer, and a truck are completing the county road unit project on Ogg road, a mile west of Redmond, grading the road.

The expulsions were voted last night at the concluding meeting of the all-soviet union communist party conference. , Litvinov's star, long in ascend- jance. began to wane two years 1 ago when Russia started its with drawal from full co operation with the world democracies. ' It was on May 3. 1939. that his resignation was announced. Ill health was cited. Litvinov continued to be seen about Moscow at official func- 1 tions. He had been little in the news, however, since a year ago when he suffered a heart ailment. Litvinov for years had shaped Russian diplomacy. One of the most colorful of the old bolshe viks, a doughty fighter in confer ences, he was a familiar figure at international conferences in Eu rope and especially at Geneva, seat of the League of Nations. His resignation was at once re garded as an indication that Rus sian policy was turning against a . "democratic front" to face Hitler and Mussolini, and caused many diplomats to feel little surprise when Russia made a friend of Germanv.

Feb. 21 'IP1 Sen. C. Wayland Brooks, R.. Ill, charg ed today that the British aid bill ultimately will invoke the United States in a foreign war and fur nish the spring board for a "leap toward dictatorship at home. In his maiden senate speech Brooks said that the measure "is un-American" and "grants powers, which hen placed in the bands of one man will . . . involve us ulti mately in a foreign war." He said the bill also would make President Roosevelt "the over-all, all-out director of all the foreign wars that do now, or will, in the near future dissipate and destroy the resources and liberties of men." "When you men vote this power to one man i predict today that It will sooner than we expect in volve us in active, personal, fight ing participation in the war, and you cannot shirk your responsi bility by turning over this author ity to any other man." he told the senate. "The blood of the American boys will be on your hands wheth er they wear khaki, forest green or navy blue. "This is a war bill, with war powers, with the deliberate inten tion to becoming involved in not one. but several foreign wars." Brooks, a world war veteran, spoke during the fifth day of gen eral debate on the bill. He follow ed another opponent of the meas ure. Sen. Guv M. Gillette, D.. Ia., a veteran of the Spanish-American, Boer and world wars. Gillette told the senate he could not vote to pass any bill "which will permit any man under God's almighty heaven to sit in the in ternational poker game of power politics and stake, on his discre tion bv his Judement of the value of each plav. all the resources of the United States of America the life, liberty, the happiness, the se curity and perhaps the blood of her citizens." The galleries were iammed with snectators for the fifth consecu tive day. Astronomical Shows Seen in Clear Skies Cloudless skies yesterday even ing enabled Bend observers to ob tain a fine view of the two great planets, Jupiter and Saturn, as they reached their third and final conjunction in the past six months. The bright orbs cruised down the western skies within a few degrees of each other and were visible until shortly before 11 D. m. Near approach of these two bright planets is nothing unusual, astronomers say, but not for more than 200 years will the pair of worlds be In coniunctlon again three times in less than six months. The planets will slowly separate. Also visible last night In the western sky below Juolter and Saturn was the tailed ohiect that has finally been definitely identi fied as the Paraskovopoulus com et. Earlier In the month. Prof J. Hugh Pruett. University of Ore gon astronomer.exoressed a doubt this comet could be seen in the northern hemisphere. He later checked with Harvard university and discovered that the comet is slowly moving north, and Is now apparently getting dimmer. Prof Pruett also reports that Come' Friend, high overhead at dark these nights, cannot be seen excent with a powerful telescope. It did not become as bright as was anticipated. SESSION GOES INTOOVERTIME AS LIMIT IS HIT Drivers' Liability Is Passed in House 40 DAYS USED UP Secretary of State Would Have Power to Suspend Licenses Salem, Keb. 21 mi With the forty days prescribed by law ex piring this afternoon, the current session goes into an overtime pe riod. How long It lasts probably will be determined by the speed of various committees in getting their public hearings over and re porting the bills out onto the floor for discussion. The house passed, with only eight "no" votes, a measure giv ing the secretary of state the power to revoke the driver's li cense of any person involved In an automobile accident, until such person can furnish proof of finan cial responsibility. Unlike the present law which provides that such a revocation can be made only after a person is convicted of reckless or drunken driving, the new proposal would effect every driver in an accident. Insurance Is Way Out The bill is, in effect, a move to ward compulsory automobile In surance, since few motorists would care to drive without a pol icy which would cover them in case they were involved in a crash. Compulsory insurance plans have never fared very far in the Oregon legislature, although they have been introduced regu larly for years. A bill to remove the maximum $30 per month for old age insur ance, on the regular morning cal endar, was moved over to Monday as a special order of business at 10:30 a. m. It would make the top $40 a month. ' The house got a laugh today when Rep. W. B. Morse. R., Print? ville. introduced a resolution call ing for three state inspectors to, inspect the various inspectors In" Oregon. The resolution was designed to call attention to the vast army of inspectors now working for the various state departments. No ac tion was taken on it. To Limit Debate Senate President Dean Walker served notice to members, today that beginning Monday he will limit debate on measures before the upper house. He pointed out that a rule permits the president to limit discussion after the 30th day of a session. This morning the senate again went through a lengthy calendar of 26 bills, passing 20 of them, putting three off for later consid eration, and re referring three others. None was of controversial nature. The joint committee on ways and means had nine bills in and all were given approval. The ma jority of them were concerned with revamping minor phases of the state's social security admin istration so that Oregon's act will be certified by the social security board. The only debate took place over an amendment to the anti-price discrimination act and another measure which would allow coun ties to hire experts In advertising the resources of their communi ties. Senator Thomas R. Mahoney, D., Multnomah, charged that the amendment to the anti-price-fixing statute was "a revised version of a bill aimed at barbers which was defeated at the last session." The amendment would include the phrase "service trades" under pro visions of the law. Total of 205 Veterans Signed Up by Legion A total of 205 Bend veterans of the first world war today had reg istered under the American Le gion's national defense program, it was announced this afternoon by J. S. Davis, local legion post commander. The registration books will close tomorrow even ing, at 7 o'clock. Questionnaires can be secured up until that hour from the Davis office, on Oregon avenue. The national defense registra tion came up for considerable at tention at last night's well attend ed meeting of the post In the court house quarters. Appointments to handle defense activities locally will be announc ed soon, Davis said.
