REGARDING ATEN's PROPOSAL

The recent move on the part OF President Aten OF
the Irrigation Board to try to secure the cooperation
Of that body in aggressive campaign toward bet
te1'ng water conditions in Imperial Valley, seems to
fa baan srcere effort in the right direction. The
vvo ked out would insure a thorough III
.1st 3icn Of rumors and counter rumors regarding
tie district that would either justify the pubics sus-
picons definitely set at rest the many nasty tales
oe dire msmanagement and extravaganza
Tf he Irritation District mess is to be straight
ened to the satisfaction of the taxpayers who sup
port it and make it possible, some one must MAKE a
start some way to have things untangled Perhaps
Aten's plan might be improved upon-perhaps 1t
might have few flaws. But its main virtue is that 1t
would mean start. One of our big faults down here
in the valley is that lot Of sit back and complain
bitterly OF this that condition but make no effort 60
try to improve things, and when other ndlvdua
or body does start something, all too quick win
our little hammers deal it death blow before fully
investigating its merits.
Certainly on the face OF it. Atens proposal seems
fair Nineteen representatives chosen from the lead
inc organizations of the county would to insure
an impartial Judgment of all charges.
A business organizer and an efficiency expert,
also recommended by Aten seem to be what the dis
trct stands vitality in need of at the present mo-
ment according to the grand jurys report.
Tublic hearings in different cities make certain
that all parts Of the county will be treated alike IN
their complaints, requests and suggestions.
All in all, the plan seems endowed with many
possibilities for good and if the board sees tit to de-
finitely table the resolution we would respectfully
suggest that they present other constructive mea
sures which promise at least, much efTectnal re-
lief.

4 MODEST PEACE-PLANNER

The unsuccessful contestant IN the peace plan
prize contest who has filed suit against Mr Box pre-
cents an amusing and amazing figure. tie asks 81
900 damages because he not awarded the prize
He states that his plan, f fairly considered would
have been selected unanimously as the prize winner.
rhe 500 900 asked for in his complaint is for the prize
he didn't get and the 81 100000 represents he main
tans the value of the publicity Mr. Box has received
as result of the prize award.
Since he considers his plan novel clear and inter-
esting original and convincing, it is natural that he
should feel that the best plan submitted has not been
selected by the jury of award otherwise IN accord
ance with the terms of the advertised offer
Yet one wonders what was his purpose in submit
ting the plan If he sought to further the estaD
iishment of peace this old earth, his plan should
still be available. Perhaps the Senate, which disked
she winning plan so thoroughly, might take up with
this one more cheerfully.

POLICE WORK FOR THE NAVY

for the Secretary of the Navy TO transfer vessels
suitable for that purpose, with their personnel to

of the Treasury Department.
Naval officers have protested against such action
every time it has been suggested saying that they do
not want to engage in 'police work" But they will
doubtless do their duty ii they drafted for the
purpose. navy, anyway, is international police
