that German bombers had exten- sively damaged NamsoS, on the Nor wegian coaSt above Trondheim, in air raids Saturday. But they assert ed that Allied troops there had suf- fered no casualties and that only British trawler, the 458 ton Rut- landshire, had been sunk. Its crew were saved.
 To Wreck Nazi Bases
 The British air raiders were part of a campaign to wreck the three main German air bases from which endorsements and supplies are be- ing sent to the German occupation force in Norway and from which German planes are attacking transports and warships of the AL lied Expeditionary Force along the Norwegian west coast.
 Aalborg, the only German flying base in northern Denmark, is re- garded as the main jumping off place of German transport planes which are taking men and supplies to Norway.
 British experts believe that the mine field laid by the Allies be- tween Denmark and Norway have effectively cut off German sea con- munications.
 Hence the raids against such places as Aalbord, Kristiansand and Stavanger were intended to isolate the Germans in Norway completely.
 Aalborg is in northeastern Den mark, on the Kattegat, Kristiansand is 110 miles to the northwest, across the Skagerrak on the Norwegian southern coast at the entrance to the Skagerrak. Stavanger is on the southwest Norway coast, on the North Sea, no miles northwest of Kristiiansand.
 Workers Must Help
 London, April 22.-(UP)-Inaug- Cration of compulsory savings scheme under which a part of each workers pay would be withheld, for repayment after the war, was be- lieved nearer today.
 It was reported that the budget which Sir John Simon, Chancellor O. the Exchequer, is to introduce in the House of Commons tomorrow afternoon would call for between $10,500,000 and $11 ,900,000,000.
 Of this only about one-third is likely to be raised by revenue and new taxation must be resorted to for at least part of the remainder.
 It was forecast that the present basic income tax rate, ' 1-2 shillings in the pound or 37 1-2 per cent. would not be altered.
 Fiscal experts are inclined to be- lieve that income surtaxes have about reached the limit, but there was some talk that now or later the level at which surtaxes start, now f2,000 ($7,500), might be lowered to f1,500 ($5 5,25O.
 Increases were forecast in tobacco and alcoholic liquor imposts, but speculation was that there was un- likely to be any increase in socalled breakfast table duties, covering such things as tea, sugar and bread. Cas- oline taxes may be increased, it was said, and telephone and postage rates may be raised.

 The newspaper considered the Norwegian campaign now virtually ended. It said that flor reasons Of prestige, Churchill (Winston, first lord of the British admiralty con- tinues to carry out clumsy landing maneuves here and there, but the selection of troops he send into fire Canadian and French soldiers shows all too clearly that he recog- nizes the uselessness of further un- dertakings."

They had been prepared by Price, Waterhouse and Company which he called one of the best auditing firms in the country and said that in view of laudatory reports from them he couldn't help but conclude that the company was a sound invest ment.
 He also remarked that the ques- tion of bootlegging was brought up at an early discussion of Girard and Company and that it was plainly stated that thered be no such illegal activities nor could any check up reveal evidences of the same.

STATES ATTORNEY
 HAS LOST MOTION
(Continued from Page 1)

ing all cases, different situations varying so much. Each case, he add ed, should be decided upon facts underlying it. So in passing on this motion Judge Foster said the court will not establish any general rule applicable to Supt. Roach, much less to all police departments of the state, nor any rule applicable to all cases that may arise.
 Facts In Case
 Judge Foster said the facts in the case were that Police Supt. Roach caused an investigation of certain injuries to the Doherty child and that he has those records of the in- vestigation, and that the child through his lawyer, desires to see those records in the aid of a suit instituted by the child, but that the demand was refused by Supt. Roach.
 At the instance of the petitioner the court issued an alternative writ of mandamus. To this alternative writ the respondent filed a motion to quash. This moton to quash, said Judge Foster, is equal to demurrer and thus for the purpose of present inquiry, admits the truth of the al- legations of the alternative writ of mandamuS.
 The respondent made seven dis tinct claims on its motion to quash and Judge Foster commented on each. The first claim was that It now here appears that the report referred to in the petition were ob- tained, compiled and recorded in accordance with the requirements of any law.
 Second. In the absence of any re- quirement that such information and records be gathered, the subject is entirely within discretion of the Police Commissioners and Supt Roach.
 Third. It is nowhere alleged that the records inferred to in the petl- tion were gathered for the purpose of assisting in the preparation of civil matters.
 Fourth. It nowhere appears that the realtor is under any necessity or inspecting the records referred to.
 Fifth. It is alleged that reference of inspection was unique to this re- lator or that he was in any manner treated differently than others mak- ing similar claims. Sixth. The inference referred to il the petition are alleged to be and are gathered and compiled by the police department and its ordinary routine of police business.
 Seventh. The inference referred to in the petition are not such re- cords as are, by law, open to public inspection.

 Head-on they met with a crash that wakened persons living nearly mile away.
 The fronts of both cars were ground to junk; gears flew out of their castings; tires exploded. The two survivors of the crash however, may live, physicians said today.
 Safety officials sought to make the crash an example to impress upon the nation the awful results of speed and responsibility on the highway.
 Tt is tragic and spectacular ex- ample" said Col. John Stilwell, pres ident of the National Safety council "of what occurs in a lesser degree day in and day out throughout the country.
 "The problem of instilling safe driving habits ia young people is one of the most acute we face.
 What we are likely to overlook is that the conditions which contrib uted to the Minnesota accident probably were duplicated at the same time in hundreds of other places in the United States. Only 2 split second or few inches may nave saved many other youngsters from similar fate"

 Losey is survived by his wife, Mrs. Kay Banta Losey.
 Losey was appointed to West Point from New Jersey, graduating from the academy in June, 1929. After leaving the academy, he transferred from the field artillery to the air corps and was trained as a pilot at Brooks and Kelly fields in Texas.
 His Later Studies
 Later he went to the California Institute of Technology and re- ceived degrees of master of science in both meteorology and aeronau- tical engineering. He was regarded as an exceptionally keen officer, and a hard worker. He had sefved as a member of the meteorology subcommittee of the national ad- visory committee for aeronautics. He resigned this post when he went to HelSinki.
 During his army career, he had served at Mather Field, Cal, Barks- dale field, and March Field, Cal. He was on duty in the office of the chief of the air corps, Maj. Gen. Henry H. Arnald, when he was as- signed to Finland.
 His presence in Finland gave the army its first chance to study ac- tual warfare in temperatures from 25 to 50 degrees below zero since the World War campaign at Arch angel in 1917.
 Air corps officials especially de- sired expert data on the perform ance of planes, motors, tanks, guns ard other equipment at the low temperatures. Although Losey's re- ports were never made public, it is understood that he sent con- stant stream of technical informa- tion to his superiors here.

New York, April 22-(UP)-The late F. Donald Costers hair tonic firm of Girard & Go. was regarded in 1926 as one of the few such firms in the country that had not en- gagged in bootlegging alcoholic pro- ducts, the federal court jury hearing the McKesson & Robbins conspiracy trial was told today.

Rowley w. Phillips, one of the five defendants charged with conspiracy in the pyramiding of fictitious crude drug profits of the old-drug firm, already has testified that he placed such reliance in the Thompson report that he and other Connecticut bankers and brokers agreed to f1- nance Coster's ventures.
