Although half the January nights have been raidless, 13 German raiders were said to have been shot down over Brit ain In darkness and only 11 were claimed during daylight. Bombers Lost British losses ' included 18 bombers on night raids in west ern Europe, one reconnaissance plana and one fighter off the south coast. The score in the western des ' art during January is not fully tallied, but according to avail able figures 45 Italian planes - were downed in battle, two were damaged and 209 were destroyed on the ground.

Elsewhere, 44 axis planes were said to have been destroyed In the Malta region compared with a British loss of three, and between 30 and 40 at the German-used base at Catania, Sicily, compared with a loss of two Brit ish raiders. In today' raids on London, a number of Incendiaries fell near a huge sand pile where work men were filling bags for Just such an emergency. Some mes senger boys, loafing nearby, helped scoop up the sand and ex tlnguish the bombs. A London source expressed belief that the Germans were using the day raids to learn weather conditions for more nu merous night raiders and also to determine whether the British were using murky weather to shield changes in the positions of military forces.

Jan. 31 (UP) President Roosevelt last night thanked the nation "for re affirming at this hour America's humanity, America's active con cern for its children" by its con tributions to the fight against infantile paralysis. His brief "thank you" mes sage, delivered over the three major radio networks, climaxed the annual president's birthday drive for funds to fight the dread disease. It also marked the end of the chief executive's quiet celebration of his 59th birthday anniversary. "Lights of Peace" "I cannot say, as you can well understand, that this is for me a completely happy birthday," he said. "These are not com pletely happy days for any one of us in the world. Shalt we say that American birthdays this year are being made at least happier than they would other wise be because all of us are still living under a free peoples' philosophy? " "It is not only that the lights of peace blaze in our great cities and glow in our towns and vil lages that laughter and music still ring out from coast to coast that we will return to safe beds tonight. Believe In Right 'It Is not that we feel no con cern for the plight of free peo ples elsewhere in the world; that we do not hope that they may continue the freedom of their governments and their ways of life in the days to come. "It is because we believe in and insist on the right of the helpless and the weak and the, crippled everywhere to play their part in life and survive. "It is because we know in stinctively that this right of the unfortunate comes under our free peoples' philosophy from the bottom up and can never be imposed from the top down." Discussing the paralysis cam paign, he said he derived satis faction from his birthday "be cause of the fact that definite progress has been made in these past 20 years on a national scale in the fight against infantile paralysis." He described the fight as "a true part of the na tional defense of America." The nation, he said, is "at last organizing adequately" to fight paralysis. The battle "year by year is gaining greater suc cess," he continued, adding that "clearly, inquestionably we are winning the fight winning it, thanks to all of you." Thousands had helped him celebrate his birthday anniver sary by attending hundreds of "birthday balls" throughout the country and contributing to the fight against paralysis. Other thousands had helped by sending dimes to the White House and by contributing to local "March o' Dimes" campaigns. For Mr. Roosevelt himself, it was a rather quiet celebration. High spots were a luncheon for movie stars who came to Wash ington to attend the capital's birthday balls, and the "cuff links" dinner he gives each year for a few old cronies of World war days when he was assistant secretary of the navy.

Bailey on a charge of involuntary man slaughter began in circuit court Friday. It was the first criminal case and the first jury trial held in court since Judge David R. Vandenberg assumed office. Bailey is accused in connection ! with the automobile accident death of James Breshears. He is defended in court by W. Lamar Townsend, while District Attor ney L. Orth Sisemore Is prose cuting the case. The jury was - completed at noon. Early in the afternoon a dispute developed as to whether the state should be permitted to present evidence that State Po liceman Oliver Holcomb smelled alcohol on Bailey's breath when talking to him after the accident on the Keno road. Judge Vandenberg over-ruled a motion by Attorney Townsend to strike that portion of the testi mony, and it was allowed to stand. Townsend contended that the indictment did not specifical ly charge that Bailey was in toxicated and therefore no drink ing evidence should be admitted. Judge Vandenberg indicated he considered evidence of drinking as a possible element in the state's case attempting to show carelessness or negligence in the operation of a car, as the indict ment alleges.

LEGISLATURE BARS LABOR AMENDMENT OF GUARD BILL (Continued from Page One) vised Wilson to forget the amendments because "By Intro ducing them, you are doing labor more harm than good. Mr. Pub - lie wouldn't understand this. The governor Isn't going to stick his i cyclist turn in two of them and neck out by ordering the guard : officers estimated it took the fel out in labor disoutes." I 'ow 20 minutes to find another Allan G. Carson (R-Marion), committee chairman, explained he had sympathy for labor's po sition, but added "I don't see any reason to pick out labor in these amendments. I don't rec ognize classes. To me, there's only one class." House members, seeking to beat the Tuesday afternoon dead line for introduction of bills by individual members, introduced 31 measures today. SALEM, Ore., Jan. 31 (UP) A bitter debate on the merits of a bill in congress by Rep. Walter E. Pierce, (D-Ore.), by which the federal government would purchase $60,000,000 of timber land in western Oregon and Washington for conserva tion, ended in the house refus ing to endorse the measure. A memorial by Richard Neu berger, (D-Portland), urging con gress to pass the Pierce bill, was snowed under by a vote of 40 to 16, with four absent Sawyer Backs Bill Neuberger read letters from I Robert S. Sawyer, Bend pub Usher and chairman of the Ore gon economic council's sub-committee on forestry, and E. B. MacNaughton, Portland banker j ana cnairman oi me economic council, urging adoption of the memorial. , The Sawyer letter said, In part: "If enacted the bill would go long way toward perpetuat ing the timber resources of the state as a base for pay rolls, lumber town permanence, as sessed values and general wel fare. The alternative Is hurried and wasteful liquidation leading in the end to the destruction of taxable values, loss of Industrial i employment, community suicide and personal tragedy for thou sands dependent on Oregon's Umber for livelihood."
