Their night at tack was stopped cold, and the Inst of Hiclr resistance collapsed. Allied headquarters, mean ''"while, added another chapter to 'the lengthening accounts of the exploits of America's heavily armed long range bombers. It reported that Flying Fort resses and Liberator bombers clashed in a furious aerial duel with Japanese fighter planes off the coast of New Britain. When the fight was over the bombers without a single loss had knocked down 10 of the enemy planes and so greatly damaged four others that they probably were unable to reach base.

S. Crittenden, who as di rector of the rent control office in this : district was made the direct target of the dissident landlords' complaints, brushed off the suggestion there was any concerted support behind the Vallejo movement: y "A few are disgracing that fine city by following an ap parently well-organized canv paign to discredit .the law," he said in a statement. '"They say they will refdse to abide by the rules adopted by congress.

The Examiner was recently hit by a serious fire, and the paper was published at the Klamath Basin Progress plant here while repairs were made. I MASTERY (Continued From Page One) British military sources in Lon don said it did not mean that the westward offensive again was under way. Allied Mastery In Tunisia, the allies and Ger mans both were reported prob ing cautiously for weak spots and speeding preparations for the decisive battle. Reports of allied air blows, both destructive offensive smashes and successful defensive air fighting with evidently plentiful and well-varied war planes, indicated that air mast ery was swinging back to the allies. Nail Convoy Hit When the British and Amer icans closed virtually, to the threshholds of Tunis and Bizerte, their drive was handicapped by the lack of adequate air bases close to the- front. Now, how ever, Associated Press reports tell of ground commanders tele phoning for air coverage as casually as calling for a taxi. Again, British headquarters reported that allied twin-engined fighters probably American P-38 Lightnings had pounced on an enemy air convoy north bound from Africa and had shot down two German transport planes near Lampedusa island, between Sicily and Tunisia. Canada Abolishes Use of Shackles On Nazi Prisoners OTTAWA, Dec. 10 (IP) Prime Minister MacKenzie King announced today that the use of shackles . on German war prisoners would be abolisncd Dec. 12, 'ending a policy adopted early in October as reprisal against similar treatment of British and Canadian prisoners in Germany. - A similar announcement was made by the British government in- London. Switzerland proposed to Ger many, Britain and Canada Tues day that the shackles be re moved' December 14 and Can ada was the first to agree, even advancing the time by 48 hours.

It was explained that such grading had been in effect in the four plants Swift's, Singer Bros., Herman Kowals, Port land, and Pauley Packing, Klam ath Falls, for several weeks. The stipulation, from which the judge will write the decree, is made specifically for Swift's but will cover the other three.1 It further restrains the com pany from slaughtering at the Portland plant any beef or veal subject to the maximum price regulations, unless approved by AMA inspectors. i THE MAJOR and THE MINOR I fT lit iffii If ''7 ' RAY MILLAND and GINGER ROGERS In character for the title roles of Paramount'i uproarious romance, "The Major and the Minor." which comes soon to the Esquire theatre, with Rita Johnson, Robert Benchley, Diana Lynn and Ginger's mother, Lola Rogers.

The case grew out of a crash on the Weed highway near the Kalpine turn-off on October 6, 1941, involving two cars and a big truck loaded with apples and operated by Vanderhoct and Brandon. They sued Hornsby. driver of one of the cars, for $2800, the value of the truck. Hornsby counter-claimed with a- claim for $15,000 plus medical ex penses. The Jury, after hearing evi dence all day Wednesday, re turned a verdict finding in favor of the defendant upon the plain tiff's complaint and in favor of the plaintiff on the defendant's counter-claim. Deliberations in the jury room lasted less than an hour. ..'Henry Perkins represented the' plaintiff and Richard Max well the defense in this case. In the past we have tried to achieve peace in the wrong way, thinking that minding our own business and trying to meet our economic problems by ourselves would be an example which the rest of the world would follow. We forgot that our economic troubles were tied to the eco nomic troubles of the rest of the world. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt. During my presidency I shall, continue democratic policies.

Asking the cooperation of management and labor, the dis trict office recommended that no worker leave his present Job for another without a "clearance" from his employer, or from tho district office. Tho policy, covering 34 "es sential categories of work, sets forth that such "clearance" should be granted only under specified conditions. M. A. Clark, district director of tho manpower commission, said the plan also was aimed at halting "pirating" of workers, in which employes are lured from one company by more at tractive offers from another. The plan, adopted by the labor management advisory committee to tho manpower commission in Detroit, covers such factories as the Ford Willow, run bomber plant; Dotrolt tank arsenal which is operated by Chrysler Corp., and the United States naval ordnance plant, operated by tho Hudson Motor Car com pany.
