LIVESTOCK Three persons were confined in Sacred Heart hospital today and another was released after being treated for minor injuries as the result of a head-on auto mobile crash on the Crater Lake highway a half mile the other side of Four-Corners late Wed nesday afternoon. None was ap parently seriously Injured. William King, 73, of Gold Hill suffered chest and face injuries and his son's mother-in-law, Mrs. Artie Dorn, 73, of 309 Chestnut street, sustained a broken left leg, bruises and cuts. The other machine contained Jack Cantwell, 24, of Gold HiU and his father-in-law, Frank Cas teel of Central Point Cantwell was released from the hospital after receiving treatment for face cuts, while Casteel was still receiving medical attention to day. King, accompanied by Mrs. Dorn, was driving to Eagle Point to obtain a Christmas turkey, state police said, while the car containing Cantwell and Casteel was traveling toward Medford. State police quoted King and other witnesses as saying the Cantwell machine was weaving all over the road prior to the col lision. King told police that he slowed down when he noticed the oncoming car on the wrong side of the road, and that when the latter machine failed to re turn to its own traffic lane he swerved his own car into the southbound lane in an attempt to avoid the collision. Just then, police said they were told by King, the Cantwell car cut back into its rightful lane and the cars collided head-on. Both ma chines were badly damaged. State police said they were making a further investigation of the accident. Rooney Retains Box Office Lead; Gable Second, Comedy Team Third Hollywood, Dec. 26. WV-Clark Gable and Gary Cooper may catch mamma's eye and dad may go for Betty Grable or Gene Tierney, but it's the kids who rule the box office. For the third straight year, irrepressible Mickey Rooney tops a national exhibitors poll as the movies leading box office attrac tion. Before him, little Shirley Temple led four successive years. 1935-38. In the 10 years the Motion Picture Herald has con ducted the poll not a matinee idol nor a glamour girl ever has won. Marie Dressier lea in ine first two, 1932-33. and Will Rogers was first in 1934. Clark Gable, who's been among the top 10 every year. was second and the comedy team of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello was third. Only two actresses are In the list, Bette Davis, eighth, and Judy Garland tenth. Judy's career has been rather closely linked with Rooney's. Two of her three pictures this year were with Mickey. Bob Hope is fourth; Spencer Tracy fifth; Gene Autry sixth; Gary Cooper, seventh and James Cagney ninth. Autry topped the cowboys a fifth successive year, followed by William Boyd, Roy Rogers, Charles Starrett and Smiley Burnett. TAKE HEAVY TOLL AS (Br the Associated Press) Adolf Hitler's Crimean armies were reported today to have lost 20,000 killed in a six-day battle at the approaches of Sevastopol, long-besieged Russian naval base. and soviet dispatches listed an additional 13.900 German slain on other battlefields during the Christmas holidays. With the steam-roller red army counteroffensive sweeping on unchecked, advices reaching London said the Russians had recaptured the strategic Oka river city of Kaluga, 110 miles southwest of Moscow. Kaluga is 65 miles northeast of Tula, where the Germans for weeks attempted to break through to Moscow. Nail Flank Periled In the north, on the Leningrad front, soviet troops were cred ited with recapturing Oskyue after a 62-mile drive from Tikhvin, 110 miles southeast of Leningrad, and it was apparent that this thrust, if continued, would soon threaten the right flank of the German siege forces before Leningrad itself. A Berlin broadcast reported that the fuehrer again spent Christmas among his soldiers and described it as a "serious' and "more of a wartime Christ mas" than before. On the North African front, British headquarters reported that more than 13.000 axis pris oners had already been removed to the rear and that British troops were inflicting heavy losses on German Gen. Erwin Rommel's forcrs attempting to retreat near Agedabia, 60 miles south of British-captured Ben gasi. lnct possibility in view of climb ing costs of operation, taxes and the inability to lift rates suf ficiently to bridge the gap.

Two Babies Miss Yule Birthday By Only Few Minutes Edward Bruce Graham, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. O. Graham of Jacksonville missed being a Christmas baby by 13 min utes and another new arrival, a daughter for Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Boswell, route 2, was an hour and 80 minutes late In c 1 a i m i n g a "Christmas Baby" title. Edward was born at Com munity hospital this morning at 12:13 o'clock and weighed 6 pounds and 13 ounces. The Boswell baby, yet unnamed, according to Community hos pital attendants, weighed six pounds and 1 1 ounces and was born at 150 a. m. LA FOLLETTE RAPS 1TEMPT TO CUT NON-DEFENSE COIN Abolition of CCC, NYA And FSA Would Knock Props From Special Structure. Washington, Dec. 26. CP) In a sharply critical minority re port, Senator LaFollette (Prog.- W.s.) charged today that the joint economy committee's rec ommendation for a $1,131,079, 000 cut in non-defense spending was hasty and unwarranted. LaFollette asserted that com mittee suggestions for the aboil tion of the civilian conservation corps, the national youth admin istration and the farm security administration would "knock some of the major props of fed eral support out from under our special structure in the lower income levels." He alone signed the report. Earlier Senator George CD. Ga.) had expressed the opinion the United States would be lucky if it could finance one third of the cost of its war with the axis out of current revenues, despite projected tax increases. Unity Argument Charging that the proposed cuts would come at a time when "national unity" requires main tenance of high morale among "the unfortunate one-third of our population which has just cause for dissatisfaction with an economic and social system that has treated them shabbily." LaFollette said it was estimated that 71 per cent the value of military contntt had been placed in 12 statja. 9. said this threatened ma? communities with more distress than ever be fore. George, who is chairman of the senate finance committee, told reporters that the cut rec ommended yesterday for non-defense expenditures, coupled with such new taxes as congress may vote In 1942, stiU would leave the budget far out of balance.

More than half of the airmen fliers as well as ground per sonel were Canadians. The rest of the contingent included RAF men trained in Canada, United States members of the royal Canadian air force, Nor wegians from the "Little Nor way" training base near Toron to, and Australians and New Zealanders.
