Slated For Today On Measure To Retain Liquid Fuel Levy. Ohio Body Passes Schedule Of Noncontroversial Bills At Night Session. BY HERBERT R.

MENGERT. Columbue Bureau, 1ST 8pahr SIKOUI. DISPATCH TO THB KNQUlMdH. Columbus, Ohio, March 24 Member of the Ohio House of Representatives tomorrow are expected to approve retention of the liquid fuel tax. House passage would complete the legislation already okehed by the Senate.

Republican spokesmen said they had hopes of obtaining several minority votes for the measure, and Indicated that they expect to lose few majority votes. One of the developments which is said to have eased pressure for votes is the feeling that attempted diversion of motorcar tag. revenues has been given up. The highway group has been insistent that no effort for this bill be made. The House tonight devoted it attention to noncontroversial measures.

It passed all the measures on the schedule, among them a Senate bill by H. T. Phillips to authorize Ohio University, Athens, to sell certain real estate to a fraternity. The rest were House bill sent to the Senate after passage. The measures passed Included the Johnston bill to require dairies to retain for 48 hours the sample used in tests for butterfat; the Guess bill to authorize the Highway Department to conatruct "limited acoess" highways; the Grusenmeyer bill to confirm the sale of canal lands in Dayton, and the Mahoney bill to permit insurance on county funds and to authorize armed guards for public funds.

The Mahoney bill grew out of an opinion by the Attorney General denying the right to spend public money either for guards for public funds or to allow insurance policies on such funds. State associations of county officials were behind the measure. It was described as needed in several Northern Ohio cities. The Guess bill is designed to provide legal backing for high-speed roadways similar to the Pennsylvania toll road between Pittsburgh and Harrlsburg. The House received a motion to reconsider the defeat of the Betta bill, easing up the provisions of the law limiting hours of labor for female workers.

Canners came to the House to ask action on the measure although an amendment which the industry sponsored was rejected when the bill was on the floor before its defeat by the House. The motion waa left pending, subject to consideration at any time. Enormous petitions in favor of the quail shooting bill will be presented Wednesday.

Edward J. Gardner, Butler County, announced that the Legislative Committee of the Butler County Farm Bureau and the Butler County Grange have petitioned him 'to voto for the quail shooting bill. He made the announcement on the floor amid some applause and many imitation of the notes of "Bob White." Rev. L. H.

Myers, Allen County, noted that his constituents appear on the other side and have adopted a slogan. It is "A Quail in the Meadow is Worth Two in a Pie." The House Judiciary Committee will conduct a hearing on the bill by Aaron T. Grad, Hamilton, to permit speedy acquisition of property by the city In case of national de fense projects or flood wall proj. ects. The bill provide that the city may take the property after the court has set a bottom value, which is not to be less than the tax appraisal.

The final value is to be determined later in regular appro priation proceedings. Portsmouth, Ironton, Martin Ferry, and other Ohio River cities are interested with Cincinnati in the measure. Leo Weinberger, Cincinnati, law partner of Grad, will appear in opposition to the measure. He represents the Greater Cincinnati Building and Loan Association Exchange. The partners are to argue the issue before the committee.

In the face of an intense Nazi box barrage, the R.A.F. bombers crossed and recrossed Berlin, some flying along the famed Unter Den Linden, within a mile or so of five main railway stations. Other bombers directed their loads at fires set by the first wave of attackers.

Still additional R.A.F. units went on to blast freight yards and factories south of the city. The night waa dark with a haze and low patchy clouds, but the Air Ministry said: "When the fires began navigation was easier and as they came in, the crews of several aircraft saw the red glow in the sky which guided them directly to their objectives." "In areas selected for the main attack," it went on, "a great number of bombs were seen to explode, some in the center of the target. Flashes larger than the bombs lit the factories at which they were aimed. Fire after fire sprang up, glowing red with diffused glare through the mist."
