consisted of Il destroyers, and bomb hits were scored on five of them during this first attack.
 Six hours later, at 12:35 a. m., Saturday, an American surface force moved in and attacked the enemy force which still was moving toward Guadalcanal. Details of that night battle have not been released, ex- cept for the announcement that one destroyer was sunk, one was set on fire and probably one damaged One American torpedo boat was lost.
 The Navy did not say whether the enemy force withdrew or con- tinued the attempt to land rein- forcements. Increased American Naval and air strength in the area has prevented any Japanese troops landings on Guadalcana since early November.
 The new enemy casualties raised the total of Japanese ship losses to 53 sunk, five probably sunk and 84 damaged. American Naval losses in that Erca s-e TOW 28 ships sunk.
 There have been three attempts by the Japanese to reinforce their men on Guadacanal within two weeks and all apparently have been a failure.

Continued from Page D ening of Axis attacks in Tunisia and a new aerial offensive by Maj. Gen. James H. Doolittle's 18th United States army air force, mili- tary quarters pointed out that Rom- mel had given up the Agheila line without resistance.
 "It is interesting to see great German army for the first time faced by superior numbers, not even trying to fight" a commentator said. The Germans, realizing how shat tering the news would be to Ger man prestige, put out entirely fic- titious reports of great battle"
 Nevertheless, experts said, the Eighth army'S advancem ust be slow and unspectacular.
 Mine fields had been laid in Ron- mel's line of retreat. Roads had been blown lup water supplies had been dynamited and the British communication lines were steadily lengthening.
 If Rommel elected to make a stand at Misuurata, 285 miles west of Fl Agheila, or at any intermediate point, 1t was said, he could delay the British advance and force 1t to spend long weeks bringing up supplies.
 If Rommel got endorsements, ex- perts said, he might try to make a stand somewhere short of Tripoli, capital of Libya, 120 miles west of Misuurata.
 His alternative would be to try to push straight on to Tunisia and join Colleen. Walther Nehring for an attempt to hold the Axis bridge head.

 In imposing sentence, Judge Con- way said that the court was inclined to view the situation sympathetical- ly, remembering that there was a time in the past when he himself had been engaged as pin-boy.
 The four managers were brought into court first on November 30 on warrants issued by the labor con- mission and served by Detective Lieutenant William Pollard. The ar- rests were part of a statewide clean up by Commissioner Cornelius J. Danaher, and followed others in Naugatuck, Bristol, Winsted and other towns throughout the state When the cases were heard before the Naugatuck court, a nolle was granted to the offenders.

 the next two years, and primary and virtually the only emphasis will be on winning the war.
 If the legislature agrees to Bald" wins request and adjounrns on April IS, it will be the shortest oi any legislative session since 1887 when the biennial sessions first be- gan.
 The General Assembly normally opens the first Wednesday after the first Monday in January-this year January 6-and closes not later than the first Wednesday after the first Monday in June. The length of the term usually Is 8 weeks.
 During the last war. the session adjourned on May r, 1917, ano was called back into special session March 19, 1918, for two days.
 It was expected that Gov-elect Baldwin would repeat this proceed ure by calling a special session m about a year to clear up matters which the normal session may have missed and new conditions.
 A short session of hte legislature will be of benefit, it was said, to members who are engaged in wal indugtries, save thousands ot miles of travel both by auto and train and lower the cost of the assembly session to the state treasury pJ thousands of dollars.
 The legislative council submitted its report today to Governor Hurley containing recommendations for the consideration of the 103 general as- senbly which convenes in another three weeks. ,..-.
 The council suggested enactment of a state law setting up uniform blackout and dimout regulations and avoid conflict with local ord1- nances and bylaws, and urged that the state guard be continued and enlarged. N Changes in the adoption laws also were proposed. and it was recom- mended that permanent legislation be passed to clarify the voting hours situation so that it will not be nec- essary to again appeal to the courts or call special session of the legis- lature, to fix the hours at the polls
 The council reported that it was not able at this time to submit a major program for the le43 session because of the "aiflure of the 194l general assembly to provide sufh- cient funds for such work"
 Concerning the future activities of the council, that group advocated its membership be enlargbed and that It be adequately financed to carry on the work it was set up to do.

PROGRAM SEEN

LINE CONSTRUCTION

Housing and furnishing experts be-
lieye the wars impact may hasten the
day when millions Of stylish. low-cost
homes slide down a "conveyor belt"
to be purchased by families who once
lived in cheap tenements.
What was looked upon as an emer-
gency solution to the problem of shell
tering more than $4,000 OF the nations
transplanted war production workers
may prove to be "the beginning of
mass production methods in home
construction" according to Percy Will
son, managing director of the Chicago
Merchandise mart.
Wilson said the war housing emer-
gency for the first time had diverted
the attention of the building industry's
best resources from the more expensive
types of homes"
He said the housing program-with
Uncle Sam" in the role of under
writing agent and the nations top
architects and interior designers TAX
ing a hand-was introducing among
workers aesthetic values never before
emphasized in low and medium cost
construction"
A recent display of "a dozen typical
war homes" at the Merchandise mart's
nome furnishings market gave an in
dication of the long range implica-
tons" of the war-home program, Will
son said.
Attractive model homes-single and
multiple units of four and five rooms
averaged $1,000 in construction costs
and $500 in furnishings.
The exhibit. sponsored by the Ma
tional Retail Furniture association and
the United States public building ad-
ministration, proved home furnishing
manufacturers and interior designers
are alert to opportunities afforded by
the program" he said.
With their resources now concen-
trated in this field, it is expected
revolutionary advances will be effected
in design and economy and that charm
and efficiency in the small home will
be merged as never BEFORE" Wilson
said.

located near Bridger by Prof. Charles
Buck Of Billings Polytechnic institute

made by Ted Townsend. freshman

through excavations begun by Buck
and Harold Scudamore
The skeletons are located in two
or three different areas near Bridger,
but Buck has dug up bones at only
one place. Part OF one skeleton has
been taken out and brought to Bill
lings. Considerable work is necessary
during the excavations, for the mound
covering the bones is 10 feet high and

to spend enough time at the site to
uncover more deposits since the orig
inal trip.
Buck said it is difficult to guess
exactly how long ago these animals
lived. The skeleton is impregnated with
iron oxide which served as natures
preservative. Other preservatives found
in such deposits elsewhere are amber,
pitch and sandstone
Buck stated he lacks space to set
up the huge skeleton. A toe joint is
about half as long as an entire human
foot. The bones now on display at the
Poly are the color of rusty iron be-
cause of the iron oxide
In March, Buck announced the dis

BUTTE TO GET
RECRUIT CENTER
INDUCTION HEADQUARTERS WILL
BE TRANSFERRED THERE
ABOUT JULY

Butte is destined to become the hub
of military operations in Montana on
or about July /, when the state re-
cruiting and induction headquarters of
the army, under the command of Maj
John F.. Nelson, are transferred to the
Mining city from Missoula.
Establishment of the army headquar-
tiers in Butte will mean that all men
called for service by the county Sc
lective service boards as we'll as those
men who volunteer for service at the
various recruiting stations, will report
to Butte for their final physical ex-
aminations.
The headquarters will incorporate
every facility for this phase of military
operations, it was stated, and will re-
quire considerable office space for the
ries and clerical, communication and
transporting divisions.
Orders to transfer the operations
were announced in Missoula by Major
Nelson. The detachment will comprise
40 officers and men in addition to
several civil service clerks. Many of
the army men are married and have
families. Altogether more than 100 per-
sons will establish homes in Butte.
Chamber officials submitted all in
formation available on the housing sit
uation and data on office space that
could be procured. Several sites we're
inspected by the army men and two
or three were tentatively selected
Final selection of offices rests on the
approval of Major Nelson and the
Ninth corps headquarters.

task of his career.
Some of Wittmer's colleagues rec
ommend that the National Institute

industrial health service and health
maintenance program for the wars
duration.
The idea would be to prevent or con-
troll injury and illness resulting from
contact with poisonous metals, gases,
fumes and dusts; arrest common colds
which take a top toll in man-hours
lost, and correct mental and physical
disorders occasioned by noise, confu-
