British losses ' included 18

Elsewhere, 44 axis planes

In today' raids on London, a
number of Incendiaries fell near

such an emergency. Some mes

helped scoop up the sand and ex

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.

WASHINGTON. 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 TRIED III
BHESHEARS DEATH
Trial of Q. A. 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.

Twenty Southern Pacific em
ployes held an enthusiastic meet
ing at the Wlllard hotel Thurs
day evening to form plans for
ODlalmng freight and passenger
business for the railroad.
The number and quality of
railroad jobs available depends

handled by the railroad," said
W. S. McBride, who was elected
chairman of the railroad em
ployes' traffic promotion com
mittee. "We Southern Pacific people
are therefore vitally interested
in the volume of business our
railroad obtains from local busi
ness firms. The Southern Pa
cific company has 5116 employes
located at Klamath Falls, with
a payroll of $99,340 a month.
The company paid $187,555 in
taxes to Klamath county dur
ing 1939-40." McBride said.
