One intelligence officer was said
TO have admitted to Fits that he
had been assigned TO spy on Ray

Fits said that Kynette at first
stood on his constitutional rights
and refused to talk. but when con-
fronted with the officers state
ment he said he had made the
Raymond assignment "on some
Dody's orders" but he could not

George Sakalis, vegetable

Sakalis SAID he did not under
stand the warning, because he
knew nothing about the bombing.
The bomb exploded under the

There were protests of outrage
from the Citizens Independent Vice

MEXICO ACTS ON
JUST CONVICTIONS

If there were more nations in the world
like Mexico, there would be less of inter-
national diplomacy and more of open
negotiations between all nations There
would have to be. Diplomacy wouldn't
get them anywhere.
Great Britain is a bit puzzled over the
sudden stark reaction Of the Mexican
government to the age-old British diplo-
matte game of putting on the squeeze"
Like watermelon seed between the
tightly pressed fingers of small boy,
Mexico squeezed the wrong way. She
suspended diplomatic relations.
There isn't much Great Britain can
do about it, because her trade with MeXi-
co was not such an important item, and
she cannot bring military pressure to
bear while Mexico enjOys-recognized or
not-the protecting wing of a United
States which does not like to see Euro
pean meddling on this continent. The re-
suit is that Great Britain itself is now
caught in a very embarrassing squeeze.
Britain could not foresee the diplo-
matte break when she sought to bring a
bit of pressure To force Mexican pay
ments to British oil interests for eXpro-
priated properties. 1t was a typically
diplomatic gesture when, in a round
about way, Britain chided Mexico for
not paying a very minor debt contracted
in quite another way. SeVering relations
over such thing is Just not being done
in diplomatic circles.
And now to use a good old American
ism, the joke is on very red-faced Great
Britain. Not only has Mexico severed
diplomatic relations for the time being,
but she has also reminded Great Britain
that the British themselves do not al
ways pay their debts to other nations
as witness the World War debt owed to
the United States Stymied British dip
lomatists cannot do anything but sput-
ter. There is entirely too much truth in
the very undiplomatic Mexican decara-
ton.
And somehow or other we cannot work
up any great amount of sympathy with
the British in this latest predicament.
We can't forget he war debt long enough
to get sympathetic.

SPEED NEVER BRINGS
GREAT ENJOYMENT

From the mountains to Ell Centro Sun
day night there was a long string of
automobiles = most of them speeding
home after a weekend in the mountains
or San Diego. Saturday afternoon and
night there was a string of automobiles,
all of them speeding to the mountains or
San Diego.
The week-ending Imperial. Valleyites
hurried to their weekend pleasures. A
surprising large lot of them hurried
through those same pleasures. When the
weekend was done, they hurried home.
Almost everybody was tired.
There is little wonder, considering how
everybody hurried
The criticism most often leveled at
Americans. and the one seemingly most
justified, is that they are always in a
hurry. Whether engaged in business or
pleasure, they hurry. They even eat in
a hurry.
Pleasure, to be thoroughly enjoyed, is
like old wine. It must be sampled slowly,
deliberately, with every last taste of en-
joyment extracted.
Try it next time you 90 out on week
end. Take it easily. Drive moderately,
play without hurry and come home with
out undue speed.
The pleasure you get may be a new ex-

INTELLIGENT PLEDGE

(RlNerSlde Daily PreSS)
1t is clear that high school and col
lege students are really thinking about
the problem of war and peace. The ma
iority of them seem to be as ardently
opposed to war as they were a year or
two ago when large numbers took the
Oxford oath, pledging themselves never
to bear arms fer their country III any
war.
But they are taking a different oath
this year. In recent peace-day demonstra-
tions, thousands Of students made the
following pledge:
Because We want to keep America
out Of war, we pledge ourselves to make
our government a force for peace: be-
cause Fascism would destroy our genera
ton, we rededicate ourselves to the strug-
gle for democracy"
They still want peace but they real
ize now that it can't be had merely for
the asking.

FELONIOUS FALSEHOOD
IN THE NEWSPAPERS

(Chicago Daily NeWS)
Although we do not pine for lodging
in a federal prison, there IS something
rather attractive about the proposal Of
Senator Sherman Minton of Indiana to
provide prison terms for publishers and
editors who knowingly print falsehoods
or, to use the exact language of the
Hoosier statesman, "anything known to
said publisher or his responsible agent
10 be false
Obviously, this will require suspension
of the Congressional Record. but publish
ers and editors of other journals should
not have much trouble keeping out of
Jail.
Two simple rules for reporters. copy
readers and editors would eliminate
9944 per cent of the chance of Senator
Minton'S type Of felonious falSehood APP

perS
Rule No. would be- Delete all refer
ence to the United States senate or Unit
ed States senator's"
Such a rule might seem to be a curtail-
ment of the freedom of speech of United
States senators. Under the constitution.
United States senators and representa-
tives are members of a privileged libel
club given the right to defame other citi-
zens without legal penalties, criminal and
civil. However, the members of the house
rarely avail themselves of safety first"
mendacity, so rule closing newspaper
columns to senators would be sufficient
Rule No. should read: All state
ments of politicians labor under a pre-
sumption of falsehood, that requires 24
hours delay and checking before repro
ductiOn. This rule will be waived i'm favor
of any politician who will repeat his
statements under an accurately calibrat-
ed lie detector"
With these two precautions posted on
newspaper copy desks, we think few
writer's would have to seek paroles in
order to carry ON. Perhaps the press
would not be free, but it would be free
OF great deal of tripe
Under Senator MintOn's proposed law,

him would be not only false but feloni-

WASHINGTON. - Hollywood has
beckoned to white e-haired, tough
j we'd William II. Moran, who was
81 years q government sleuth and
spent the last Is of them as chief
of the U. s. secret Service.
And Moran has answered the
call. When he quit two years ago
ne commented tartly On the m2a-
geIness of government salaries and
retirement pay-and perhaps few
had a better right, considering the
millions of dollars Of counterfeit
money Moran had kept out Of cir
culation.
Just what the big movie concern
which has hired Moran in an
advisory capacity" wants him TO do
is not known here. But presumably
ne will have to be less tight-lippsd
than he always has been in Wash
ington. NeWspapermen never learn
ed anything from Moran. He al
ways tried to keep himself out Of
the newspapers and. although he
could use the money. has refused 10
write memoirs.
He has let it be understood that
he wanted to be known merely as:
William H. Moran, Presbyterian
deacon and bass choir singer.
Anyone could get much amuse-
ment from looking back at the old
records of the A. T. of /. and find
ing all the sweet things William
Green and John L. Lewis used to
say about each other. Green was q
member Of the United Mine WorE-

won him the A. F. Of l. presidency.
so it was natural that much flow
