Slow Moving Some German advanced units in the fresh countcr-offcnslvu were even forced to retreat, the Russians reported, but others were managing to hold ground until reserves could be brought up.

"The most recent decision bearing on the matter Involved former State Senator Dellmore Lessard, Portland, in 1937. Les sard was appointed to a federal position, and his senatorial status was questioned. The supreme court in that case refused to de termine whether Lessard should serve, the court saying that the judicial branch of state govern ment should not be permitted to judge the qualifications of leg islators. uThe constitution also pro vides that each house of the leg islature shall Judge the quali fications of its own members."

WHAT A HIT!! mnd RAY Mm flip, EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) we WANT NO PART OF THEM. We KNOW that NOW. But, for the duration, let's take it as it comes, as our men on the fighting fronts are taking whatever comes. WE learn from today's dis patches that maybe 1000 Japs got ashore at the river mouths in New Guinea in their weekend landing sortie. Our air force is pounding them. And pounding the Jap warships that still hang off shore. And sinking the Jnp sup plies that still float in the sea. We're still closing in on the remaining Japs on tho Uumi benches. . yHE Germans nro hitting hnrd 1 with HEAVY FORCES at Stalingrad, but tho Russians still report progress on the central front west of Moscow. That may bo significant, mean ing possibly that Hitler Isn't'able to muster strength on both fronts and is still Intent (suicidally in tent, we hope) on making good his commitment to take Stalin grad. At ANY cost. We must also remember the Importance to Germany of cut ting the Volga-Caplnn supply line to Russia. Once Hitler def initely abandons his attack on Stalingrad that project will be on the skids. A LLIED naval strategy in the Mediterranean is concentrat ed on the objective of keeping reinforcements and supplies from reaching the axis forces In Africa. We aren't hearing much about naval fighting there, but may be quite sure that plenty of it is going on. .
