England Honors
Elder Statesman
London, March 27 HP Funeral
services for David Lloyd Georee.
Britain's first world war prime
minister, wno aiea yesterday at
the age of 82, will be held Friday
at Newydd, his home outside Cric
cieth. North Wales.
Both houses of parliament ad
journed today out of respect to
the memory of the doughty war
rior who led Britain to victory in
the first world conflict but died
before the allies again would
crush his arch foe Prussian mili
tarism. The white-haired elder states
man, twice prime minister of
Great Britain, died in his sleep
last night at his country home
near Criccieth, Wales.
Waged Gallant Fight
He was 82, but he waged a gal
lant battle against death during
the past five weeks, apparently
in hope of seeing victory over the
Germans for the second time.
Last New Year's day he was
given the title of Earl of Dwyfor,
although history probably will re
member him best as David Lloyd
George, the man who struggled 55
years for a strong Britain.
Field Marshal Jan C. Smuts,
prime minister of the Union of
South Africa, said in a tribute
broadcast over BBC that "a very
great figure has departed one of
the greatest."
House Puts Teeth
In Control Bill
The house voted 167 to 160 today
to apply stiff penalties to workers
who leave essential jobs and to
employers who violate fixed man
power ceilings.
It approved a compromise man
power control bill worked out aft
er long debate by house and sen
ate conferees. Before going to
President Roosevelt the bill must
be approved by the senate.
House nassage came after a bit
ter, last-ditch fight by opponents.
Rep. Forest A. Harness, R.,
Ind., sought to kill the measure bv
demanding a ruling on a point
that the compromise bill included
new legislation not approved by
either house. He was overruled by
Speaker Sam Rayburn.
Rep. Dewey Short, R., Mo., de
clared: '.'This is tyranny and slav
ery brought up to date."
From June, 1942, to Jan. 1, 1944,

against Germany. Although the location of the bridge is not revealed, lt Is probably near the Remagen
bridge. Allied armies have broken across the Rhine on a broad front and are driving eastward In bid to
knock Germany out of the war. O. 8. Signal Corps photo.
Nurse Drafting
Given Support
Washington, March 27 (in The
senate military affairs committee
today approved a one-year exten-';
aiuii ul lilt: anunvK st;i vile
for men and the drafting of wo
men nurses.
Committee Chairman Elbert C.
Thomas, D., Wtah, said action on
both draft bills was unanimous;
The selective service extension
bill was approved without amend
ment in the form in which it
passed the house last week. It ex
tends the act for one year from
the May 15 expiration date, or
earlier if the war should end be
fore that time.
Amendments Offered
Sen. Chapman Revercomb, R.,
W. Va., offered two amendments, '
uum vi wiucn were rejectee, ne ;
first suggested an amendment
forbidding the assignment of,
youths under 19 to combat serv-!
ice. When that was defeated he
proposed a limit of 18 years and
six months. It likewise was re
jected. The nurse draft bill was amend
ed by the committee to make it
apply to married nurses from 20
through 44 as well as to single
nurses. The house-approved ver
sion exempted married women
except those married after March
15. Under the senate version the
only nurses from 20 through 44
exempt from the draft would be
those who have dependent chil
dren. Bend Lions Attend

Not Yet Over
"I would not have you think
I've written this war off; No one
knows yet what the German can
do within his own country, But the
elimination of his troops west of
the Rhine is one of the greatest
victories of this and any other

""This is my honest opinion:
There will be an imposed uncon

front when we can say that or

Yesterday's edition carried a

Of Spelling Bee
Incorrect handling of spelling
methods In Deschutes county
schools lies at the root of a pre
valent inability of grammar
school students to spell properly,
asserted J. Alton Thompson,
county school superintendent,
after administering a series of
Stanford achievement tests to
county schools.
"I strongly advocate the return
of the old-fashioned 'spelling bee'
to our schools," Thompson de
clared, "for in oral spelling the
student can link together sound,
pronunciation and number of syl
lables in each word."
Thompson reported that he has
suggested to(teachers of the vari
ous schools 'that more attention
be paid oral spelling units in a
united effort to improve the abili
ty of students.

electric motors.
