PAGE TWO ITALIANS FLEE L IN EAST LIBYA (Continued Fiom Page One) the capture of Derna, the British have advanced 160 miles. Mussolini's high command dropped a clue that the 25,000 Italian defenders of Bengasi may have attempted to flee by the only possible overland route of retreat a highway leading south and then west along the coast, across 650 miles of arid wastes to Tripoli. "A violent battle is in progress between our troops and enemy formations south of Bengasi," the fascist war bulletin said. On the western European front, the British reported anoth er smashing overnight assault on five German - held "invasion ports" Calais, Dunkerque, Bou logne, Dieppe and Fecamp in which "many bomb bursts were observed . . . and large fires started." Docks, railways, warehouses, hipping and barges which might be used as cross-channel troop transports were among the tar gets attacked. London reported a lull in ' night attacks by the nazi Luf t ' waffe, but with daylight a low flying German raider machine- ri,nnwt a Vinnninff street in a northeast Scottish town, wound ing one person and setting sever al fires. In the Greek-Italian war, dis patches from the central Albania front said the Greeks advanced through heavy rainstorms to seize new positions north of the Trebessina mountain range. Front-line reports said the Ital ' tans started a well-organized at : tack In the Tepeleni sector, only to flee In disorder as the Greeks, waiting until the fascists were at extreme close range, opened up with machine-guns and grenades.

SS New York, N. Y. f5 OREGON SENATE PASSES BILL ON SUBVERSIVE ACTS (Continued From Page One) permit Increase of length and weight limits of all trucks from 50 to 60 feet and from 54,000 to 68,000 pounds. Another measure which the senate passed and sent to the house would give public em ployes leaves of absence while they are in military service. The Joint ways and means committee said it is considering whether to put an emergency clause on all appropriation bills, so they would be effective im mediately upon signature by the governor, instead of 90 days after the legislature adjourns. The object would be to pre vent any minority groups from filing referendums against any appropriations, and thus hold up the funds for some state depart ments until the November, 1942, election. Both houses were expected to adjourn for the weekend late to day. Accident Tax Tha house passed 41 to 16 and sent to the senate a bill to tax automobile drivers 25 cents a year for a fund to pay hospitals for care of indigent automobile accident victims. The senate killed a similar bill last session. Dr. J. F. Hosch (D-Deschutes) said reports from two-thirds of the states hospitals show they lose $67,000 a year on such cases. The license tax would raise $100,000 a year, and the fund would be administered by the state Industrial accident com mission. Rep. M. James Gleason (D Multnomah) opposed the mea sure as "another attempt to stick the biggest sucker in the state the automobile driver." Speaker of the House Robert S. Farrell, Jr., said he would an nounce the appointment Monday of his special 11-man committee to consider reapportionment of the legislature and redistricting of the state's congressional dis tricts. Four redistricting measures, all splitting the first (western Oregon) district in two and mak ing the southern half a fourth district, are in the house, which also has three reapportionment measures. Unemployment Hearing Labor and employes clashed last nisht is a public hearing on proposed changes in the unem ployment compensation act. They agreed that administra tion of the seasonality section had not been satisfactory, but differed on corrective means. ' Lumber unions claimed the administration had aided em ployers while harming workers in ruling logging a seasonal in dustry. They asked repeal of the section. Employers' representatives said seasonal workers received more benefit pay in the first two years of the act than was col lected from employers in four years. They maintained the sea sonality section was needed for such industries as canning, and recommended the act be changed ! to define seasonality as it affects each employer. A second hearing went more smoothly with no opposition ap-1 pearing against nine proposed changes in Oregon s social secur ity laws. Richard L. Neuberger (D-Mult-: nomah) advocated a legislative investigation of old-age assist ance administration, and J. H. Luihn, chairman of the welfare commission replied, "I'm not trip.

Other proposals would: In crease the state grant to char itable homes from $16 to $20 for each child; provide a maximum old-age pension, less any income earned by an applicant; broaden the law for education of handl caped children and appropriate $75,000 for the purpose; estab lish a labor division for welfare and employment of the deaf. Sen. Thomas R. Mahoney (D Multnomah) predicted organized labor would renew an attempt to outlaw use of the proposed Ore gon state guard in labor disputes. Mahoney's bill providing for leaves of absence for public em ployes called to military service will come up in the senate today. RAIL, STRIKE THREAT HEADS LABOR BILL (Continued From Page One) be mailed to the membership February 15. Thirty days would be allowed for the voting, however, and that, coupled with the 60 day "cooling off" period provided under the railroad mediation act, would prevent an actual walkout until late spring, pro vided a strike was called.

At Chicago 6500 employes of the International Harvester com pany's tractor work remained out, as did 7000 workers at the Allis-Chalmers company In Mil waukee, Wis. The United Rubber Workers (CIO) local at the Seiberllng Rubber company, Akron, Ohio, voted to strike for higher wages, subject to the approval of the In ternational union. However, the men remained at work while leaders of their union prepared to open negotiation with the management. : " A strike of truckdrivers which for six days had tied up deliver ies of all except perishable and i emergency goods in Dayton, Ohio area was settled last night when 18 hauling firms agreed to a union contract.

"I couldn't see it at first," he related, "but pretty soon It came out of the clouds and went into a dive. They gunned the motors but they couldn't pull it out of the dive, apparently, and it went into a power dive. "When it lilt the ground there was a deafening explosion. It cracked on the other side of the mountain, so I got my car and went to the scene with ono of my crew, x x x when we got there it was nothing but a muss of flames. I looked around x x x and realized everybody was dead." Another eyewitness, Paul Lykins. Reno, Nov., travelling man, disclosed that if the plane had cleared the mountain a Dry lake five miles from the crash scene would have acted as an excellent emergency landing field. Witnesses said there was no storm in the area, though the sky was overcast and there had been light showors.

JACKSON JAILED AFTER CHASE Ted Jackson, Chlloquln, was lodged In the city Jail shortly before midnight Thursday fol lowing a chase through city streets by oily police officers. Jnckson jumped from his car at Twenty street and Klumath ave nue, police stated, and was fin ally arrested and hooked on a drunk driving charge. ' He was given a fine of $100 and DO dnys In jail. Six drunks, one drunk and dis orderly and sevoral traffic tickets made up the morning report. I (Continued from Page One) had been placed too largely In three types of streamliner, liquid-cooled engines. He said tho Allison engine, used largely In American com bat ships, had a horsepower rat ing of 1075 compared with the "1200 or 1300" horsepower of tho English Rolls-Royce, which : since has been stopped, up In a new typo to 1500 to 1700 horse i power. ' Under questioning by Senator ' La Follette (Prog. -Wis.), Williams expressed tho belief that a mis take was being inndo In turning over so-called "obsolescent" or "obsolete" ships to other nations. These ships were needed badly, he contended, for the secondury training of pilots who otherwise might have to go direct from relatively slow trainers to first line combat ships. That was one of the reasons for the failure of tho French air force to stop tho Germans, he said, adding that Franco had a "super abundance' of obsoles cent planes for such training purposes but "busily engaged in shipping them abroad to their Interests In Spain" before the present war broke out. In reply to a question from Senator Nye (R-N)Y.), Williams said that, like Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh who testified yes terday, he did not believe Great Britain could win the war.

Gordon, Hurry and Pat llogue taxi service announced a flat rate of 25 cents within the city limits. These rates will be In effect until meters arrive for uso on these vehicles.
