CORP.. NEW YORK Cooperation of the public in reporting misrepresented prod ucts was solicited today by Allen A. French of Portland, inspector of bedding and up holstery, Oregon state board of health. Mr. French has been here since last Friday checking stacks of both new and used bedding and upholstery. He was to leave today for Klam ath Falls. Mr. French pointed out that under Oregon laws, all new bedding and upholstery having concealed filling must bear a state label properly filled out by the manufacturer, showing what materials have been used. The public, the inspector em phasized, can help enforce the laws and thus protect their own interests by reporting any mis representation to the bedding division of the Oregon state board of health. Used or second-hand prod ucts and materials used therein must be clean and sanitary, Mr. French pointed out. He recall ed that recently 55 mattresses and a davenport were burned at .the Portland city dump be cause they had been found un sanitary and potential germ car riers even though they had been fumigated. The state law governing the fumigation or sterilization of used or second-hand bedding or upholstery is one of the most important of all health-protec tive measures. Mr. French stat ed. The law requires that every piece of bedding or upholstery be fumigated by a state-author ized fumigator of whom there are two in Medford, he related The public was warned not to buy any article of bedding or upholstery not bearing a yellow label showing by whom fumi gated and when. Don't take the word of a salesman that "this article came from a clean home," he cautioned regarding second-hand pieces. SEES SLIM HOPE TO SLASH BUDGET Washington, Nov. 28. m Seven house members who help set up the bank accounts of federal agencies echoed today President Roosevelt's expression ot nope that government ex penses could be cut next vear but some expressed doubt that material savings would be ef fected. Gathering for hearings on a 3277.000,000 emergency fund for neutrality and defense pur poses, these house appropria tions committeemen took the position that reductions depend ed chiefly on White House recommendations. Mr. Roosevelt said recently mai it general government ex. pendittires could be cut, if de- tense programs could be fi nancea on a "pay-as-vou-en" basis, and if business continues to improve, next year's deficit might be slashed 50 per cent. The house members here for the committee session were Chairman Taylor (T.Cnn Woodrum (D.-Va ), Starnes (D.- Ala.), Ludlow (D.-Ind.), Taber (R.-N.Y.), Wiggles worth (R.-1 Mass.) and Ditter (R.-Pa.) I Taylor predicted that the! group would continue to lower recommendations of the budget i bureau, but he pointed to the empty house chamber and said: "I don't know what the house will do."

' sf -"'Sfc. "V FROM HIGH SEAS By Louis P. Lochnsr Berlin. Nov. 28. (JP The British fleet, in the opinion of German military experts, now has been cleared not only from the North Sea but also from the North Atlantic. Authoritative commentators said the British "auxiliary cruis er" Rawalpindi, destroyed in a naval engagement off the coast of Iceland, was discovered abso lutely alone between the Faroe Islands and Greenland. More over they quoted 26 Rawalpindi crewmen whose rescue was an nounced today as saying they were "100 per cent surprised" to find a whole German navy group, Including at least one heavy cruiser, so far out In the Atlantic, German experts who are au thorized to inform the foreign press state the British have been so frightened by the combined German navy and air prowress that they have ordered the navy to withdraw from both the North Sea and the North Atlantic, The engagement of German units with the Rawalpindi is described as the first between German and English fighting craft. This, however, does not take Into account possible en counters In other parts of the world of which German naval authorities learn only through neutral or enemy reports. ihe Rawalpindi was surprised after dusk when the light was poor. German artillery, accord ing to the official news agency DNB, caused almost immediate fires on the Rawalpindi which rapidly spread over the entire vessel and soon caused a gigan tic explosion. This made the ship sink so rapidly only 26 men, mostly Scottish, out of about 300 officers and crewmen could be saved. Military experts further claimed supremacy in the air over all of France and practi cally all of England. Last week alone, they said, scouting planes flew over the British naval base of Scapa Flow, north of Scot land, three times, bringing to nine the total number of such flights since the beginning of the war. r. 1 it Blondie and DacwooH. in tli persons of Penny Singleton and Arthur Lake, come to the screen of the Roxy theatre for todav nd tomorrow on!v in n.i'n Young's second Blondie rnmic adventure, "Blondie Meets The Boss."
