his relief hurting.
This season, as in the past, Geh-
rig, Di Maggie and company have
managed to pound out flock of
runs off the offerings of the oppos-
ing pitchers but at the same time
Manager Joe McCarthy's starting
pitchers have been mauled about
more than a little themselves.
So freqently has Murphy been
called to hop the bull pen fence
and go to the rescue of faltering
teammate that it was no wonder
that wag in the stands asked: How
much rent do you pay for leasing
the pitchers mound, johnny"
AS matter of fact, Murphy has
worked in almost one-third of the
total games the Yankees played.
and so successful has he been in
stemming the tide when it had turn
ed against the Yankees that he
found himself at the top of the
list in the pitching averages.
One of the main reasons for his
success as a relief pitcher is that
Johnny spends most of his time in
the bull pen observing opposing
batters SO that when he steps out
On the mound he has some defin-
lite knowledge to work on.
Murphy came to the Yankees
from the campus of Fordham. At
ter an apprenticeship with Albany,
st. Paul and Newark he Joined the
Yank les' staff and has been a
valuable member for the last four
seasons.

Why the Mesas
Will Be Cultivated

Often we hear doubts expressed that
cultivation of Imperial county's east and
west mesa lands will be accomplished in
the next few years. Some doubters even
believe that these rich lands will never
be cultivated, even though water is
brought to their level by the All Amer
lean canal and pumping is made easy
by cheap electricity.
We would like to call the attention of
these doubters to the words of John c.
Page, commissioner of reclamation, at
Spokane, Wash, when bids were opened
Friday for completion of the Grand Cou-
lee dam.
Few realize" said Commissioner Page
that in all of the arid and semi-arid
region (of the west) there are less than
20,000,000 acres of irrigated lands, and
that this very small percentage of the
total 700,000,000 acres Cultivated in the
the U. 81. provides the principal sup
port of 100000 or more people. Even
fewer realize that the grand total of
western lands which are now irrigated
and which can be irrigated by the avail
able water supply will be only about
30,000,000 acres.
Il have had men, frankly disturbed at
our efforts to expand irrigation, ask
me in all earnestness if the federal gov
ernment would irrigate all of Nevada.
Now, Nevada is very large state. The
agriculture of Nevada, like that of the
remainder of the west, is limited by
water, not by land. In Nevada, it is so
severely limited that the control and
use of every drop of water in the state
would permit the irrigation of an area
no larger than one or two Iowa counties
"If there were enough water in Neva-
da to irrigate all of its lands, irrigation
there probably would be required no
more than it is in Iowa. Iowa is small
in area when compared with any one of
the states of the west. Yet if all the
water of all these western states were
used in irrigation, it would irrigate an
area no larger than Iowa.
Irrigation must stop when all the
waters available in the west for use by
feasible projects are utilized. 1t can
not be permitted to stop short of that
time. This limit may be reached all
too soon."

AIMED AT FOREIGN 1SMS
Santa Monica Outlook)


Congressman Weaver of North Carolina has
introduced two bills aimed at foreign propagan-
da in the United States whic.. before the
house immigration and naturalization commit
tee.
These two measures propose to deport aliens
and naturalized foreigners who take an oath
of allegiance to any foreign dictator or poten-
tate or who advocate teach foreign "isms'
in this country 1t would punish American citi
for similar offenses.
The bill is aimed at the Nazi promotion which
has been manifested more openly in New Jersey
and Michigan than elsewhere in the country.
We believe that America still is right in its
policy of giving refuge to all worthy people who
seek to escape persecution in their home coun-
tries. That however is a very different thing
from permitting individuals from other nations
who come to the United States to organize
natives of their countries residing in America
into units for foreign army service or for the
promotion of foreign political ideas in the United
States.
That is gross violation of the whole prn-
cple of a hospitable refuge for the politically
oppressed 1t is an att empt to build up in the
United States foreign "isms' which violate AM
erican principles and contrary to American
ideas.
Whether the measures in question will serve,
if enacted, TO check such movements remains
to be seen. They at least deserve consideration
by congress

News Behind the News
Two Strikes on Civil Service

WASHINGTON.-Plain, ordinary inertia, plus
the natural reluctance of Congress to forego pa
tronage by banketing hordes of federal employees
under civil service, call two strikes at the start
on any program to reorganize the executive
branch of government.
Then along comes the Forest Service lobby,
which appears to be very formidable lobby in
deed and threatens to call Strike threel" There
are inside lobbies and outside obbies. But there's
nothing so effective as an inside-outside lobby
and the Forest Service lobby is exactly that.
The Forest Service doesn't want to be trans
ferred from the Department of Agriculture to
the proposed Department of Conservation which
the administration reorganization bill would Gre
ate from the Department of Interior. So the
lobby mainly opposes the section which would
change the name of Interior to Conservation, but
is aiming enough fire at the entire ByrneS bill
to jeopardize that mea sure seriously.
Genuine conservationists lumber interests
and conservative farm organization lobbyists
included in the hostile group. The Society of
American Foresters-its members mostly Forest
Service employees conspicuous in the fight.
Roosevelt seems determined to move the For
est Service If he can get authority from Congress,
and is sore about activities of an employees
lobby" He would like to outdo his relative the
late President Theodore Roosevelt, as con-
servationist.
Bureaucrats of the Forest Service say splen-
did government service would be ruined and
the cause of conservation imperiled if they were
placed with the bureaucratS of what is now the
Interior Department.
Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau, who
recently told the country how ne thought the
government might save S700000,000, is finding
an active lobby opposing him on each of the
fronts where he proposed an economy attack.
He suggested reductions of Federal eXpendi-
lures for highways, relief, public works, agri-
culture and the CCC.
Congressional protest broke out as soon as
Roosevelt formally asked for curtailment of
the Federal-state road building program. Ac-
tive against any such curtaiment is the Ameri-
can Road Builders Association, which is plug
ging the interesting argument that it would
increase the $4,000 and more highway acci-
dent fatalities each year"
Painting pictures of families and friends kill
ed and manned as result of the proposed
economy, the association also suggests that some
European nation next year may attack the United
States and find i'll prepared because of in
adequate highway facilities.
The chief drive against cuts in relief appro-
priations is furnished by the U. s. Conference
of Mayors. The mayors lobby says the cities
can't get through winter and spring without
appropriations additional to the S1,5000 100000
appropriated for WPA.
Every town with a CCC camp provides a
lobby when there's any talk of abolishing that
camp.
