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

gets attacked.
London reported a lull in

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

"I couldn't see it at first," he

into a power dive.

before midnight Thursday fol
lowing a chase through city
streets by oily police officers.

Twenty street and Klumath ave

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.
