Increasing CIoudiness Forecast for
Valley with Rain Unless Pressure
Forces Storm Back; North DeIuqed

HISn winds whipped up another
storm off the Pacific Coast Satur-
day bringing increasing high cloud
mess to Imperial Valley and most
other sections of the far west and
threatening additional rainfall Sun
day night and Monday, according
to Woodrow C. Jacobs, meteorolo-
giSt.
Weatherman Jacobs made his
forecast of rain for Monday pro-
visional one, however, pointing out
that a continued rise in pressure
over southern California may pre-
vent the eastward movement OF the
storm over Imperial Valley
Meanwhile central and northern
California prepared for another
heavy rainfall over the weekend
where rain has fallen on 33 of the
past 40 days.
San Francisco has normal yearly
rainfall of % inches To date, more
than II inches has fallen, six inch
es above this date last year. Eureka
is five inches ahead of last year

with a total of $500 inches. Red
ding has record 1888 inches
against 1874 inches at this time
last year. Marin county, across the
bay from San Francisco, has record
eel between 30 and VI inches.
Sacramento's rainfall now nearly
IA inches, is double that of last
year. Stockton and Salinas are far
ahead. San Diego has doubled its

TO The attack on BfltlSE
naval power in the Mediterranean
The Germans were striking in
apparent hope of crippling the Brit
iSh naval arm before italy was ell
minated entirely as colonial power
in Africa. But British general head
quarters in Cairo said that, in addi-
ton TO striking successfully at Der
ma, Imperial forces were driving
deeper into Eritrea, Ethiopia and
italian Somaliland-leaving not one
Italian African colony uninvaded
by the British.
In addition to reporting capture
of more than 600 italians, includ-
ing brigade commander, in Eritrea
the British at Cairo said officially
that revolt in Ethiopia, where En-
peror Halle Selassie personally was
directing his forces, was spreading
Despite earlier announcements
that revolt in Rumania had been
quelled Bucharest dispatches re-
ported that disorder continued there
and that the city was tense. Rob-
berry was reported and the Ruman-
ian general staff announced that al
Rumanian reServists would be calico
up for training during February
and March.
Latest reports on fighting in AL
bania told OF new Greek advances
especially in the coastal sector in
the direction of the important port
of Valona.
| There was an ominOuS note from
the Far East, where Japan has been
accepted as mediator in hostilitieS
between Thailand and French Indo-
China. A Saigon dispatch reported
the presence of a strong japanese
naval squadron off Saigon, capital
of Indo-China.
The new Nazi air attack was re-
ported to have been made west of
the Greek Island of Crete where
the British have established a strong
air and sea base.
The German radio reported that
three heavy units of the British
fleet had been hit by bombs, two
battleships and one heavy cruiser
and that a British plane was shot
down trying to drive off the Nazi
raiders. The Italian communique
mentioned a hit on a heavy cruiser.
The British warships were said
TO be escorting a convoy to Crete.
