McNoal United Press Correspondent Salem, Ore., Jan. 25 (U.R) A large part of the proposed legislation for the 1945 session, and a good part of the bills on which argument will develop, are already in the hopper, old timers .of the senate and the house believe. Most committees are "in the groove" by now and much ma terial Introduced the first two weeks of the session and which has since been in committee bands, will return to the floor ' toon. Up to Monday noon, 206 bills, 28 resolutions and nine joint resolutions had been introduced, as well as several memorials.

S. su- 1 preme court (other bills follow this to reestablish previous property rights; one would pro vide that husband and wife may divide their aggregate income In any proportion they see fit for tax filing purposes); a bill to make permanent the specifi cations of the war-emergency permit for loading trucks; an other to make more adequate provision for soldier voting by extending the candidate filing deadline and the time for pre paring ballots; and the conten tious "tithing bill" which prom ises a real internecine ruction, since it would take income from self-supporting state depart ments for the general fund. The Roads and Highways committee submitted the "free way" or limited access bill, which will undoubtedly meet r with stern opposition from rural representatives. This would re strict drivers from entering highways except at specified points. j Five Pension Bills Five bills concerning old age assistance have so far been sub mitted. They would Increase payments from the present $40 to $50 and $60 respectively and In one case no limit is declared.

One way to answer that question is to, take a look at battle-front reports from a Buick engineer, sent to get firsthand dope on how the Buick-built M-18 Hellcat is doing. On one occasion, he writes, one of our Hellcats ran into nine enemy tanks of various sizes. iiT c o aaz ca y the nation for divorce seekers, Smith, a Helena lawyer and veteran legislator, said his bill would be introduced "for the welfare of Montana, particularly after the war, as one method of bringing more people and bus! ness into the state."

But that isn't the whole story. To the men who handle them, ability to stay in the fight is just as important as the Hellcat's 55-mile top speed, its ability to master any terrain, and the accuracy of its high velocity 76-mm. cannon. .
