FITTED BY EXPERIENCE

In three weeks the people of Imperial
VALLEY will be asked to select sheriff to
head the county's law enforcement work
during four years that give every indica-
. ton of bringing period of expansion
hitherto unknown in the history of this
community.
Whether we realize it or not, we can
. no longer confine Imperial Valley to the
area between INLAND and Calexico, Dix
leland and Holtville.
Construction of the All-American
canal opens up an extensive area in the
eastern part of the country and will with
| out doubt cause a substantial growth in
every valley community.
Additional population means addition
Ial persons who will try to circumvent
| the law and hence the need for more and
better enforcement of the law.
1t is only sound logic to believe that
| a man trained by years of experience in
law enforcement can give more efficient
service to the public as sheriff of this
county than a man without such exper-
| |ience, no matter how sincere and willing
the latter may be.
On this basis of reasoning The Press
believes j. Sterling Oswalt, present chief
of police in Ell Centre, and for the past

bodies in Imperial county, is excellently
equipped by training and experience, to
execute the duties of sheriff and coroner.
AS head of Ell Centro's police depart
ment, Chief Oswalt has given this CON-
munity the best police protection the
city has ever had. The improvements he
has inaugurated have been mentioned in
this column before. He was the first
chief to take patrolmen off a limited
area in the business section and east side,
and send them into the residential sec
tion He devised the present system of
periodical reports to headquarters which
must be made by each officer on duty,
and also the emergency alarm system,
whereby headquarters can contact an
officer at a moments notice and instruct
him to go where needed.
Crimes of all degrees have been held
to a minimum during his years as head
|of the police department. In comparison
with cities of similar size, Ell Centre can
well be proud of its low crime rate and
the reason for this is an efficient police
department.
Chief Oswalt has the confidence and
|cooperation of peace officers through
out the Southwest, and his knowledge of
the Spanish language has enabled him
to work in harmony with Mexican Off
GERS, assuring close cooperation along

bunny uncle, taking seat on a
flat stump as if he were in the

blow again, but the hat of the rab-

leaf to purple one.

dark green leaf to pink one. And

jumped and swung about. Faster
and faster they danced and swirled.

blew harder. The leaves danced
faster than ever. They formed
themselves into a circular screen
about the bunny gentleman and The
Bob Cat couldn't see him, SO the
Bad Chap ran away. Then the

ANOTHER VICTORY

Score another victory for the federal
department of justice in its warfare on
kidnapers, and another defeat for those
who think they can get away with the
most despicable and cruel of all crimes.
From the start of the Stoll case, au-
thorities were convinced that either an
insane person or a degenerate was the
kidnaper and yesterdays Developments
bear out this theory with the naming of
a man who had spent some time in an in
sane asylum as the principal in the af-
fair.
Reading accounts of the return of Mrs.
Stoll, in which things which could not
be told before are revealed, it is amaz-
ing that the kidnaper thought he could
escape detection, with his fingerprints
strewn all over the Stoll household, and
other evidence equally apparent. Per-
haps it is to be taken as proof of a dis
ordered mind
In all kidnapping cases where the fed
eral men have been called in, they have
scored a victory with the single excep-
tion of the Robles case in Arizona. They
are again working on that, and, with the
solution of the Lindbergh crime as an en-
couragement, there is reason to hope that
the abduction of June Robles will also
be cleared up.
kidnapping is one crime that must be
stamped out. 1t is inexcusable and mer-
its the most severe punishment. Perhaps
few more victories by the law will con-
vince those attracted to the Snatch rae
ket" that it is the most dangerous of all
crimes and that a successful kidnap-
ing cannot be staged. The evidence cer-
tainly points to that conclusion.
