Deferment of Men
With Dependents
WASHINGTON, March 19 W)
Over war department opposi
tion, the rules committee today
cleared for house action legisla
tion to give draft deferment pri
orities to men with dependents
and to put draft quotas on a
statewide instead of a local
board basil.
Tha committee's action was
taken in executive session after
Representative Kilday (D-Tex.),
author of the bill, contended
there was no merit in the war
department's objections.
. Secretary of War Stimson had
complained that the measure
would crea'1 administrative im
possibilities for the selective
service system.

report said, that the Vegesack
powerhouse was damaged, if not
destroyed, and 18 other build

The attack was described as

of recent days for the group led
by MaJ. James W. Wilson- of
Bowling Green, .; Ohio, and
"again all the planes of his unit
bombed the target and all re

CHICAGO, March 19 W An
unprecedi ted movement of
grain by rail, exceeding the peak
season of last summer, was seen
by grain men today as the rea
son for reported shortages of box
cars in certain sections of the
country during the past week.
Railroads burdened with arms
traffic have run into the heavi
est out-of-season grain shipments
in history and the prospect is
that the movement will increase,
rather than decrease, right up to
the new harvest time in June.
Railroad carloadings of grain
and grain products last week, re
ported yesterday by the Associa
tion of American Railroads, to
taled 48,599 cars, a gain of 10,
866 cars over the corresponding
week in 1942. Most of the ex
pansion was in western districts,
where 34,453 cars were loaded
10,242 more than in 1942,

Rumors continued to fly In
Klamath Falls Friday concern
ing the possible location of a
navy base in the Upper Klamath
lake area, with no definite in
formation of any kind coming
from an authoritative source-
It was reported that Morrison-
Knudsen company, big contrac
tors on many government pro
jects, has been looking for office
space in Klamath Falls. It was
learned this move might have
something to do with mainten
ance work Morrison-Knudsen Is
understood to be doing for the
Southern Pacific company.
But from many sources came
tips and clues. One report, that
there was a concentration of
equipment and other activity at
Algoma, was strictly untrue.
The Algoma cove was peaceful
and quiet at noon Friday, with
the Algoma Lumber company
operating on a somewhat re
stricted basis and cattle grazing
on the flats. A dragline at work
strengthening a dike was the
only evidence of construction
activity.

While U. S. troops picked
their way through mazes of

planted by the Germans in
their retreat from Gafsa, allied
warplanes hunted down the

to stand and fight instead of
rapidly shifting his armor from
