Announcement of the new R. A. F.

Action Before Dawn.
London's anti-aircraft guns rOared
into action just before dawn.
BY midmorning the city had a
second raid warning. Persons in
Central London saw puffs like shell
bursts over the Thames estuary
and raiders were reported to have
dropped II bombs on a residential
section of Southeastern London.
Two homes were demolished and
rescue crews rushed to the scene TO
dig for bodies in the Wreckage.
Two persons were rescued from
the smashed dwellings and workers
+dug through the debris OF other
buildings. At least two were known
to have been killed. Oil bombs fell
near a shelter, but no one was in
jured.
The pre-daWn alarm was brief
and the guardian guns fell silent
again when a German plane, be-
lieved on a reconnaissance flight
over the northwestern outskirts OF
the city, disappeared.
Londoners slept, eagerly taking
advantage of the quiet that was
unbroken after a Sabbath of steady
attacks which wound up with an
alarm, only 20 minutes long, in the
early evening.
A communicate said a few bombs
were dropped shortly after dark
last night by a lone raider on the
outskirts of the London area, "caus-

Senate Subcommittee
To Study Proposed
Security Changes
Upward Revisions of
OId-Aee Pensions
Included in Inquiry
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A thorough-g going investigation OF
the social security laws, including
suggested upward revisions of old
age pensions, was recommended to-
day by Chairman Harrison OF the
Senate Finance Committee.
Senator Harrison said he would
call the committee into session to
reappoint a subcommittee, headed
by Senator George, Democrat, OF
Georgia to inquire into proposed
social security changes. These
would include, Senator Harrison
said. suggested alterations in the
law to preserve the benefits of men
conscripted into the military service
In approving the excess profits tax
bill recently, Congress wrote into 1t
provisions under which conscripts
and National Guardsmen indicted
into Federal service could obtain
cheap Government insurance. Pro-
vision also was made to preserve
retirement benefits of railroad en-
ployes.
Senator Harrison said, however, he
thought it would be necessary to
make arrangements to carry on the
social security benefits of men who
otherwise would lose a years ac-
emulation of old-age insurance
payments by themselves and their
employers when they left civilian
Jobs to enter the Army.
He said he would ask Senator
Georges subcommittee to study this
question, as we'll as several others
dealing with oldage pensions, I'M
employment compensation payments
and other phases of the law.
Among proposals to be studied is
a bill by Senator DoWney, Democrat
of California which would substitute
a pension, paid by the proceeds Of
a transactions tax, for the present
system of old-age benefits.

Hec Chooses

UNIVERSITY OF WAShiNU-
ToN-Despite their loss Of the
Minnesota series last week, two
games TO one, the University OF
Washington Huskies claim renew
ed confidence this week as they
prepare for the Northern division
basketball opener against Wasn-
ington State in the pavilion FIJI
day night.
They've lost five out of their
first seven games, but the
series against the Gophers
was, nevertheless, profitable.
As Coach Hec Edmundson
drills the squad these days ne
knows he can be sure Of sew
eral items that were doubtful
previous to the Minnesota
games.
Hec is apparently decided on a
starting lineup-the DOGGY ques-
ton ever since training opened
two months ago. After trying al
most every possible combination.
the showing of six-foot-two-inch
Forward Harry Nelson, a sopho-
more, in the last two Minnesota
games convinces the Washington
coach that here is a strong bid
for starting post.
NELSON HIGH MAN
Nelson was high score man for
the Huskies both nights, being par
ticularly effective under the bas-
ket and with his long howitzers
from outside the foul circle.
Then, too, little Bobby Dorr re-
turned to the Washington team.
A week ago physicians ordered
him out of turnouts pending a
complete physical examination be-
cause of troublesome back.
Later developments showed that
the diminutive forward was being
hampered by a strained muscle
and that instead of being lost for
the entire season Dorr could i'm
mediately return to play with the
aid of an improvised protection
pad.
The entire squad has shown
distinct improvement every
time out, indicating that the
Huskies may possibly be a
clark horse" in the Northern
division schedule opening this
week.
Tickets for the Washington
State series will be put on sale
at pavilion booths at $50 each
evening of game.
