CIVIL CASES ON
 INCREASE HERE.
100 More Actions Filed Here Last Year Than in
 Preceding Report

Civil cases entered in superior court during the 1940-194l term were nearly 100 more than in the preced- ing court year, figures released in the annual report of superior court clerk George H. Freeman disclose.
 An indication of improving busi- ness for attorneys iS the fact that 448 new complaints were filed this year., as compared with 367 for the 1939-l940 period.
 Other comparative figures are unique only in that they have re- mained relatively the same for the two periedss This fall, superior court will have practically the same amount of unfinished business to handle as 1t did at the commence rnent of the autumn term last year. In all 459 cases have been carried over, as compared with 467 carried over to September, 1o40.
 Three more cases, exclusive of short calendar sessions, were tried during 1940-194l than in 1939-lo40. The entire amounts were 54 and Ei, respectively. Besides these, other cases were disposed of in the follow. ing manner since September, 1940: in short calendar sessions, 252; dis continued, 50; withdrawn, 105. Dur ing the earlier period, l65 cases were heard at short calender ses- sions, q were discontinued. and l08 were withdrawn, In actions where withdrawal papers are filed, 1t is generally an indication that a set- clement has been arrived at between the litigants.
 Undisposed of cases total 446 for the last term, and 459 for the pre- ceding. The average time elapsed between return days and trial last year was 12 Ia months in jury cases, and II 1-2 months in court cases. This compared with IS months in jury, and g 2-3 months in court cases during le39-1940.
 Court was in session for eighty days last year, exclusive of short calendar sessions. This was divided into 2l days when jury trials were in progress, and 669 when jurists weighed the testimony.
 Of the 459 cases carried over to the fall term of superior court, 37 are scheduled for jury considera- ton, and the remainder for court disposition.
 Juries heard evidence in 8 of last years civil actions, and judges pre- sided at the remaining 46.

Buenos Aires. July 19- (UP) - President Roosevelt,s proclamation black listing 1900 Latin American firms who do business with the Axis, will result in a heavy increase in South American unemployment, members of the German Chamber of Commerce charged today.
 They said at least 100000 Argen- tineans would be thrown out of work and that Chilean employment would suffer.
 Axis business said the black list was a political move" which should not be applied to transactions in neutral countries. Most of the af- fected firms. however, declined to comment until their position is clarified.
 United States official everywhere in South America were heeieged with inquiries. American firms gens erally welcomed Che proclamation which, they said, removed doubts |as to which firms they sllould dsai with.

Senator Norris Seeks
 Bonus For Selectees
Congress Now Considering Extending Service During Present Emergency
By GEORGE E. REEDY, JR-

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Washington, July 19-(UP)-Sen. George w. Norris, l., Neb., suggested today that a bonus be given selec- tees who volunteer for Army serv- ice beyond one year.
 He made the proposal as congress considered a war department rec- ommendation to retain selectees, National Guardsmen, and reservists in service for the duration of the emergency.
 Service of these troops now is limited by law to one year, unless congress adopts a resolution declar- ing a national emergency exists. In that event, the president could re- tain the troops as long as required by the interest of national de- fense."
 T very much dislike breaking the contract we made with those boys" Norris told reporters. After all, we, told those boys that they would only be in the Army for a year.
 T believe we could very well otteEs them a bonus to re-enlist after their first year of service. Of course. I' believe most of them would re-enllst anyway, if their services were needed"
 President Backs Proposal
 President Roosevelt told his press conference yesterday that he will send a special message to congress next week supporting the War de- partment's recommendations. He reiterated his previous warning that release of the troops might cause complete disintegration of the Army.
 The message will not deal with the Army proposal to permit use of the restricted troops outside the western hemisphere. The adminis- tration apparently will not press that proposal at this time.
 Sen. Sheridan Downey, D., Calif., yesterday urged the senate military affairs committee, which is consid- ering the legislation, to provide a

JAPAN TO GO ON
 INDEPENDENTLY
Will Not Over-Emphasize Japan's Role as Ally
 of Germany
BY ROBERT BELLAIRE

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Tokyo, July 19 (U.P) - h. Inspired comment on Japan's new nlilitaristic, nationalistic cabinet indicated today that for the mo- ment at least 1t would pursue an independent foreign policy without over- emphasizing Japan's role as Germany's ally.
 Ministers and spokesmen avoided mention either of Japan's alliance with Germany and Italy or its neutrality and frienship treaty with Russia in their discussions of cab- inet policy.
 It was announced that Kumataro Honda, ambassador to the Ranking regime which Japan set up in oc- cupied China in hope of undermin- ing the influence and authority of the Chinese government, had re- signed because he felt that his mission was accomplished"
 Private reports, however, were that he resigned in sympathy with Yosuke Matsuoka, who lost his post as foreign minister.

BRITISH TO HIT
 GERMANY HARD Will Strike More Deeply Into Vitals of Leading
 German Cities.

London, July 10 - (U.P0 = Sir Archibald Sinclair, air minister, promising that British planes would strike lever more deeply and more heavily at the vitals of Germany, said today that British Blenheim bombing planes had sunk 100000 tons of enemy shipping and dam- gade as much more in the last five months.
 Addressing an assembly of the Liberal party, of which he is leader, Sir Archibald said that Germany would be raided on an ever increas- ing scale as the nights became longer.
 British fighter planes are now fighting at their extreme range over German-occupied territory, he said.
 "They have destroyed on an aver- age more than twice the number of aircraft that we ourselves have lost" he continued.
 T firmly beleive that in no coun- try now or at any time in history could you have found a more re- sourceful, more strong willed and more valiant company of fighting men than the pilots and air crews of the Royal Air Force.
 "None of you can realize quite so sharply as do how uliraculously they have fought"
 | Sinclair in discussing the possi. bllity that Hitler might offer peace terms said firmly that the days oi appeasement had passed.
 We are entering into no ar- rangement with Hitler and his gang" he said, flor not till the cancer of Nazism has been cut of from the body of Europe can health and peace return"
