STRIKE TOWARDS WEST

Capture Of Derna was COM
pleted this morning." said a
British army bulletin, implying
that Aussies launched their I'M
tial attack last night.
Already. it was believed, wheeled
units were striking farther to-
wards the west. Only Cirene, Is
miles beyond. lies between the
British Empire forces and Ben
gazi, and it was understood that
Marshal Rodolfo Graziana with
drew his major bodies of troops
from that base last week.
Derna. city of 1000, known to
the Italians as the Pearl of Cyr-
enaica," occupies one of the few
fertile spots of Libya. Also, it was
the defensive key to BengaZi. since
ii lies at point where the Jebel
Akdar Mountains leave only a
narrow corridor along the shore.
PROCEEDING SMOOTHLY

WASHINGTON. Jan. 30.-For-
mer Ambassador to Germany
James w. Gerard, testifying be-
fore the Senate foreign relations
committee on the lease-lend bill,
today said he favored a declaration
of war on Germany. but enigmati.
cally added that there is no neces-
sity for it now.
Maj. Gen. John F. Organ Of
New York also had urged a wal
declaration during House hearing:
last week.
The former ambassador, who
was ordered out of Germany be-
fore the World War, asserted that
Germany will attack the United
States if she conquers England
and builds up a great fleet.
GERMAN QUOTED
Gerard recalled his pre-World
War days in Germany and quoted
Admiral Won Tirpitz. then head of
the German navy, as declaring
that Germany would sail for
America ito collect from that fat.
rich, degenerate nation the ex-
penses of the war.
He asserted that former Kaiser
Wilhelm once refused to see him
because Il represented a nation
from which came munitions for
the enemies of Germany"
Senator johnson (R) of Cali
fornia. elected from Gerard his
proposal for a declaration of war.
FAILS TO EXPLAIN
Why don't we declare war on
Germany nOw?" asked Johnson.
I'm in favor of it," replied
Gerard, with feeling. but there's
no necessity of 1t now"
He did not explain.
Gerard told johnson he would
rather die on his feet than sur
render or appease.

feet In this country than live

Two Examples

When the census maps finally get back to the states there will come up again the decennial struggle to eliminate or maintain district which obviously offer such unfair representation as to be sometimes almost laughable Just to take two as examples: In New York City, Samuel Dick stein represents the lower east side 18th congressional district. According to the 1880 census he has been speaking for 90,671 per sons. Just across the East River in Kings County, Donald L. o. Toole in the eighth district has been representing 799,407 per sons. In other words if Dick stein's district and O'Toole's are on opposite sides of the fence on any issue then the former has nearly eight times the voting strength of the latter in the House of Representatives.
 Do you see why reapportion- ment is bound to be aonther Bat tie of the Decade?

The Washington
 Daybook
By Jack Stinnett

WASHINGTON Ten or more states (and it could happen to all 48) now can get ready for the Battle of the Decade that has been cropping up every decade but one since 1790. Its other name is Reapportionment.
 The Census Bureau has sent to the President the 1940 census fig ures with computations of the number of representatives to Con greSs each state will be allow ed. By law, the President must pass these figures along to Con- greSS within a week after the new Congress conveneS January 3. Within 50 days Congress must reapportion the seats in the House or the reapportionment by the method of major frac- tionS," will automatically be- come effective.
 Here's the way it works: If the House of Representatives is to continue with 435 members (and consequently, the same electoral votes and Presidential conven- ton delegations) then (by the method of major fractions) ten states will lose one representa- tive each. These would be Ar kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Nebraska Ohio, Oklahoma and Pennsylvan ia. California would gain three representatives and the follow ing states would gain one each: Arizona, Florida, Michigan, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon and Tennessee,
 If the method of equal pro- portions" is used the results will be the same except that Michi- gan and Arkansas will retain the same numbers of representatives as they now have.

three congressmen-at-large
 In Illinois, Ohio and Oklahoma the legislatures can wrangle ov TT whether they want to drop their present posts of congress men-at-large,"- ,"-or redistrict.
 In Illinois that would mean dropping one of the seats held by CongreSsman-elect William G. Stratton and St-phen A. Day; in Ohio, one of those held by Rep. George H. Bender and Congress- man-elect Stephen M. Young; in Oklahoma the seat now held by Rep. Will Rogers.
 In the other seven states which lose representatives, redistrict- ing must come. If that were all, it would mean possibly only pol itical upheaval, attempts at gerry mandering (juggling district lines so one party or the other will have voting advantage), and otherwise general fracases in the above-named states. But that isn't all.

Bomber Flies Woman To South America
(By Associated PresS)

Its bombs replaced with beds, a giant army bomber-dispatch- ed President Roosevelt on "a mission which might save life" flew southward last week with Sonora Carlos Davila, wife of the former president of Chile, for whom physicians prescribed the climate of her native home land.
 It was a precedent-shattering flight from the ice-encrusted Nit chel Field to the sunny Chilean capital, Santiago. Never before has the United States Army per mitted a civilian or a woman to fly in a military plane to a for eign country.
 Maj. Hilbert w. Wittkop of the Army Air Corps commanded the flight. It took four days to get to the South American city with stops in Miami, Fla, and Panama City and Lima, Peru enroute.

man aloft for the first time, but also to make the first flight to a foreign country With-a civilian aboard.
 Addressing a message to MT. Roosevelt aboard the Warship Tuscaloosa in the Caribbean Sea, she said:
 Flying down to my country and, I hope to health I wish to express my deepest gratitude to the President of the United Stat es who made this possible"
 MT. Roosevelt placed the plane at the disposal of Davila last Wednesday when he learned physicians considered a trip by steamship or commercial plane too slow.
 Davila, Chilean ambassador to the United States before he be- came chief executive also express ed his appreciation during the ov ernight stay here.

Take Action
 Against Violaters Admission Taxes

Pietro Garofalo, President of Cine Lux Corporation of New York City, which operates a mo- tion picture theatre in that city, paid dear but just penalty for embedding admission taxes col lected from his patrons, Commis- sioner of Internal Revenue Guy T. Helvering said in commenting on court action against the movie exhibitor. .,
 The case was brought to trial before the United States District court for the Southern District of New York on December 2. Garafola and his corporation en tered pleas of guilty and United States District Judge William Bondy fined the corporation $5,OO0 and Garofalo $2,000, sen- fenced him to two months in pri- son, and ord red him deported to Italy upon completion of the prison sentence.
 Garofalo made returns to the Collector of Internal Revenue each month but did not remit the tax to the government. His de- fense was that he used the mon ey to pay the operating expenses of the theatre and corporation.
 Commissioner Helv3ring said that the Bureau of Internal Rev enue4s taking vigorous action az ainst those owners and operators of theatres, cabarets, night clubs and other places of amusement which collect admission taxes and do not remit them to the Government. The Cine Lux Cor poration case he pointed out, evi dences the sWiftness and thor oughness with which the Bureau of Internal Revenue is moving to clean up this situation.

 I'm not going to get involved with the explanation of these two mathematical theories of rep resentation. Except to some bud ding Einstein they wouldn't mean anything.

JENKINS FOUGHT
 WITH BROKEN RIB
AngOtt Title Bout Off?; Zivic May Meet RObin-
 son Oct. 3I

New York, october 9. - (UP) - Postponement of the scheduled l6- round lightweight title bout between cahmpion Lew Jenkins and Sammy Angott seemed virtually certain to- day following announcement that the Texan is suffering from Q frac- tured rib and inflammation of his right shoulder.
 x.rayS of Jenkins, who cringed before Welterweight Champion Red Cochrane for 10 rounds in 6 non- title affair Monday night, revealed the injuries, which apparently were suffered in recent motorcycle Ac- cident.
 Build Up
 Fred Browning, manager of JeI1- kins, who had posted Q $i 500 bond guaranteeing his fighters weight and presence for the bout with AIl- gott on october 3l at Madison Square Garden, said he planned to take Lew to Hot Springs, Arkansas, to build him up.
 Before the Angott bout can be cancelled, the New York Boxing Commission, which ordered the for felt posted before Jenkins could obtain his share of the purse for the fight with Cochrane, must agree that the Texan cannot train up to 1t.
 Promoter Mike Jacobs had indi- cated that former Welter Champion FritZie zivic and Ray Robinson may be signed as replacementS.
