JAILED IN |. A.
AFTER RAID ON
POMONACAMP.
Four Motor Cars,
Guns Confiscated
By Officers

A stolen gasoline credit
card belonging to City Clerk
Milo Foster of Imperial led
to arrest of four Imperial
youths in Pomona Thurs
day on suspicion u participation
in a statewide automobile theft
ring. The youths are believed to
have been members OF a gang
credited with bilking finance com
panies out of thousands of dollars.
Wayne Kayor, 81, Elmo Bowen,
%, Oscar Daniels, 20, and Carr
Daniels. 13, we're caught in ralo
on an automobile camp ground at
Pomona Thursday. -Four automo-
biles, three revolvers and set OF
steel dies for changing motor num-
bers on automobiles were found.
Registration slips were forged and
in some instances, white slips were
dyed pink to facilitate finance deals,
according to Captain " M. Moffitt
California Highway patrolman, who
led the raid.
The boys. held in Jail in Los An
geles, are well known in Imperial.
The Daniels boys and Bowen at
tended school there. Kaylor clerked
in an Imperial grocery store and
Bowen was proprietor of an Imper-
ial service station. Oscar Daniels
was employed by Bowen at the sta
ton until few weeks ago.
Credit Card
The oil company sent a gasoline
credit card to Bowen'S station for
Foster before Bowen departed.
Foster did not receive it.
Oil company attendants and Off
cialS in the coast area became SuS
picious when the Foster credit card,
to which Fosters name was alleged
to have been forged. was present
ed after automobiles of many diff
ferent makes had been filled with
gasoline. The boys presenting the
card we're said to have been wear
ing station attendant caps similar
to those formerly worn by Bowen
and Daniels in Imperial.
The oil company found that the
credit card had been received at
the Imperial station but could not
be found after Bowen gave up the
station After they contacted FoSt-
er and found he had not received
it, they began a search for Bowen.
Service st t ion attendants
throughout the coast area were
warned to watch for the Foster card
and we're provided with deScrip
tions of the four Imperial youths
The arrest was delayed somewhat
because of the boys driving so
many different automobiles, Off
GERS said. The boys also were said
to have switched license plates and
this aroused suspicion.
Here Week Ago
The boys were in Imperial about
a week ago, Foster said, driving a
different automobile from the one
in which they had left.
The Daniels boys have been in
difficulties with juvenile and de
tention home authorities for a
number of years and to have caused
Imperial police considerable diff
Guilty in their connection with pet
ty offenseS.
Investigations of the automobile
theft gang still are under way on
the coast. The gang is believed to
have operated from Oakland to San
Diego.

Only a Mouse

The old saying that "the mountain labored and
brought forth a mouse might well be applied to the
passage by Congress of the socaed District airport BILL
AFTER TEN YEARS OF DEBATE THE BILL Is
AN ADMISSION THAT CONGRESS IS UNABLE TO
DEAL EFFECTIVELY WITH DANGEROUS SIT
UATIoN AND TO MEET ADEQUATELY A Ma
TIoNAL NEED.
The BILL instead Of providing airport merely sets
I'M another commission which is authorized to select
site for an airport.
The site having been selected by the commission it
can do nothing further except recommend to Congress
that the site be obtained and an airport built.
There isn't anything binding that the commission
can do.
It can't say that here is the best site for airport
and decree that port shall be built
All it can do is select what it thinks might be good
site and tell Congress what it thinks.
After that we start all again the year
old fight to get action.
Congress should realize by this time that the National
Capital will have airport suitable to its needs
as the seat of Government if the chickering's Of
two members swayed by whatever motives, are allowed
to continue to dominate the situation.
IF EVERY COMMISSION THAT Is APPOINTED
IS TO BRING BACK A REPORT TO CONGRESS
WHICH WILL THEN PROCEED TO KNOCK OUT
THE REPORT AND APPOINT A NEW COMMISSION
THERE IS LITTLE HOPE THAT AIR TRAFFIC
INTO AND OUT OF WASHINGTON WILL EVER
ENJOY THE SAFETY AND SECURITY WHICH IT
SHOULD HAVE.

None of us have. It's not pos
sible to "act on impulse"
When you and I do foolish
things, or rash things, or reck-
less things, it isn't because
we've been swept by a surge
of emotion over which we have
no control. It's because we've
been getting ready to do those
things for many q year-buiId-

countless decisions or evasionS.
Every thought you think is
shaped and colored by all the
thoughts that have gone before.
Every deed you commit bears a
pattern of all your past desires

the first conscious efforts OF your
babyhood days.
There is no such a thing as
an unimportant thought or act.
Your slightest whimsy leaves its
mark upon your character for
