"Juarez," AT Maryland Theatre All Of Next Week
PAUL MUM, BETTE
DAVIS IN NEW FILM
"Juarez" to be Presented
At Maryland Theatre
Beginning Monday

The local premiere of Warner
Bros. magnificent historical drama
the long-awaited "Juarez," starring
Paul MUM and Bette Davis, will
be held Monday at the Maryland
Theatre. The spectacular produc-
tionfi which recently made it's de-
but in New York, at the Holly
wood Theatre, has already been
hailed by the critics as the great
est picture Of all time.
In addition to being headed by
the actor and actress who are gen.
orally acknowledged to be the
foremost screen ARTISTS of their
time, the cast includes a host of
other film notables. such as Brian
Aherne, Claude Rains. John Gar
field, Donald Crisp, Joseph Galeia,
Gale Sondergaard, Gilbert Ro-
land, Henry O'Neill. Harry Daven-
port, Montagu Love and Monte
Blue.
Conceived and executed on
scope never before attempted by
Warner Bros, the picture tells
story that is at once powerful
drama and authentic history,
played against rich panorama of
backgrounds, ranging from imper-
ial palaces to poor peon huts.
While it concerns events that
were, on the surface. only of i'm
portance to the then fledgling
Mexican republic. the significance
of these happenings was also i'm
portant in the history of the U.
S., for they constitute the stery
of the only large-scale attempt of
a European power to disregard
the Monroe Doctrine. In the light
of what is going on in the world
today, this story has also a dis
tinct topical interest.

Be Destructive to
Harmful Pests

The wise home gardener recog-

commonly found on garden plants
are OF great help in destroying

to- DR.. George S. Langford, special

Mr.. Langford says that the IA
miliar small red or orange colored
beetle with black spots on it's
back, called the '1ady beetle" or
,"lady bug, is one of the most
helpful insects because it eats
the plant lice or aphids that at
tack so many garden plants. Lady
beetles also eat the eggs of many
other injurious insects. Garden
ers have sometimes mistakenly
thought that these small beetles
were the parents of aphids or
plant lice but it has been shown
that an adult lady beetle will Of

Another insect which feeds on
aphids is a green, slug-like mag

IT'S NOT DISTANCE
THAT COUNTS MOST

There is bit of hidden irony in the
remark of Russian Premier Foreign Com
missar Molotov that, since the United
States is 5000 miles away from the scene
of Finnish-Russian war; the people of
the United States cannot know anything
about it, and so any protest from this
country against bombing of civilians is
"pointless".
The irony was heightened by another
news dispatch that came through the
same day from Helsinki, capital of Fin
land A captured Russian flier, it said
had expressed surprise at the strength
of Finnish resistance When questioned,
he said his commanders had informed
him Finland had no anti-aircraft guns,
and so could not resist bombers.
Any eighth-grade student in the United
States who has been following the news
for more than month could have told
the Russian flier that Finland has some
very effective anti-aircraft guns. The
American student could have told him
that long before the Finnsh-Russian war
started.
One suspects that Molotov's remark
was made purely for local-Russian, that
is-consumption, and that he did not
give moot WnaI anybody else InOQ9nJ
about it. Certainly he is intelligent
enough to know that the United States,
with the freest press in the world, is
the best informed nation in the world.
Ranking at the other extreme along with
Germany and Italy, is Russia, for there
the newspapers print nothing but what
the Communist dictatorship wants them
to print.
Right now the average American knows
more about the war in Finland than the
average Russian does For Russia's lead
ers that may be fortunate, because it is
to be doubted whether any people, know
ing the facts of such aggression as Rus
sia is guilty of. would tolerate it. But,
when they're told by their censored news
papers and radio that Finland had at
tackled them, what could you expect?
Molotov might be able to convince his
own people Russia is entirely in the right,
but where governments do not dictate to
newspapers he'll never make anyone be-
lieve Russia is not guilty of the most
inhumane, the cruelest and the most un-
civilized act of modern times.

Disseets the News

restraint of trades operations IL
complains of do not carry out the
legitimate objects of trade unions
and that the members engaging IN
them are not lawfully carrying
them out in any case.
The next clause of Section Six,
however, adds:
Nor shall such organizations or
the members thereof be held or
constructed to be illegal combina-
tions in restraint of trade under
the antitrust laws"
This, according to the labor
group, means that the antitrust
laws just don't apply to labor
unions no matter what they do or
how they do it.
The department replies that this
final clause doesn't refer to the
acts of the unions or their MEM
bers, and that if it grants full i'm
munity the preceding clause is un-
necessary. Since there is an am
biguity it is proper TO go back OF
the law and study its legislative
history
When this section of the Claytolk
act was before Congress the de-
partment continues, its sponsors
denied that it was intended to sup
ply exemption from all angles of
the antitrust laws. furthermore,
it is pointed out, an amendment
which would flatly have stated
that nothing in the antitrust laws
should apply to any labor organi-
zation was voted down. Hence it
is argued that the intent of Con-
gress was to provide a very limited
exemption
What that exemption was in

spokesman continue, was simply
protection against outright dissolu-
tion of labor union by court order
The famous Standard Oil case,
in which a federal court had or

der the antitrust laws, was then
fresh in the public memory, and
Samuel Gompers was fearful that
some court might some day order
"A similar dissolution of labor
union. That, the department holds.
was all this section of the Clayton
asst was supposed to prevent.
Obviously, there is a good deal
of debatable ground here which
won't be cleared up until the Su-
preme Court has ruled. The fate of
the departments present campaign,
then, as far as it applies to the
building trades unions. won't be
settled until some test case or other
has been taken to the high court for

STRAY BULLETS

A stray rifle bullet pierced the VIM
dows of an automobile parked near the
Imperial county court house the other
day.
1t might just as easily have killed some
one.
Had it done SO, the person who fired
the bullet might never have known what
crime he had committed. He might have
been mile or SO away far outside the
city limits. He might have been shooting
at a dove, or at tin can perched on top
of fence post, and thought no more of
it afterwards.
Yet the damage that bullet did, and the
far greater harm it might have done:
should serve as lesson to all adults who
handle firearms, and all parents who
allow their children to handle them. Fire
arms are not dangerous when properly
handled, but unless they are not proper
ly handled, they should not be handled
at all.
Rifles, for instance, should never be
discharged in a populated area unless
on a regular rifle range or against high
bank where bullets cannot escape. The
same is true for pistols of all kinds.
1t is no crime to discharge a firearm-
but it is crime to discharge it carelessly
and without thought of the safety of
others.

THAT FISCAL
TRIAL BALLOON
WaIl : rect JournaD

Trial balloons have their uses in the
art of government. One such was re-
leased at Warm Springs Friday, the pur-
pose of which is to determine in which
direction the winds of public opinion on
taxation and national fiscal policy are
blowing and at how many miles an hour
Roughly estimating the necessary in
crease IN expenditures on the national
defense in the 1940-41 twelve-month at
half billion dollars, President Roosevelt
in effect asked the country whether it
preferred new taxes in something like
that amount or greater borrowing to
cover wider Treasury deficit.
But included in the same press confer
ence was the Presidents seemingly con-
fident, though not very definite, anticipa-
ton OF substantial reduction of the 1941
expense budget other than the provision
for national defense. Here is a third al
tentative course which will have to be
thoroughly explored by Congress this
winter, no matter how unpleasant the job
may be on the eve of a national election
campaign. And We must assume that the
President and his party leaders in Con-
gress realize their obligation to explore
t-not only to explore but to trim down
practically every budget item to its mini
mum proportions
Obviously, the pruning knife will have
to go deep into work relief, public works
and farm benefit appropriations if siz-
able contribution Is thus to be made to
the $500 900 900 wanted for more nearly
adequate defenseS. Retrenchment, COM
blned with the increased revenues to be
produced by eXising tax rates applied to
rising national income, may reasonably
be expected to provide for greater Army
and Navy needs. Whereas greater addi-
tion to the tax load may as reasonably
be expected to reverse the business up
swing, for it would profoundly discour-
age the reviving hope that there is to be
an end of deficit financing and a swelling
national debt in the not too distant fu-
ture
If the Governments debt were not now
so closely approaching sum double its
World War peak, if it were not now prac-
tically three times as much as at the end
of 1880, the borrowing of half a billion
for national defense would alarm no.
body. We have here clear illustration
of the close tie-up between fiscal policy
and preparedness against external dan
gers. The country has been at peace all
through the short nine years in which
its federal debt has risen from S16,OOO,-
100000 to upwards of As billion dollars.
Can it find half billion for defense in
savings in an annual budget of nine bill
lions or must Congress admit that it still
has not recovered control of the public
purse-strings?
That is the real question to which the
trial balloon released from Warm Springs
last week should provide an answer.

Famous Sayings

WASHINGTON The American
Federation of Labor is not the
only important group that has tried
to call off Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Thurman Arnold's investigation
of antitrust law violations by the
building trades unions. Some OF
the heaviest pressure has come
from within the New Deal itself.
"A considerable portion of the
liberal wing in and close to the
government is very much opposed
to the line Arnold's investigation
has taken, and Arnold and his as
sistants have been urged to call a
halt.
This groups objection is based
on the fear that prosecuting labor
unions under the antitrust laws
will in the long run tend to de-
stroy the legislative safeguards
which have been built around
labors rights in the last few years.
In effect, they fear, it will increase
the extent to which individual
judges may determine what acts
are and are not legal for labor
unions not only in connection with
the antitrust laws, but in other
fields.
AS matter of fact, the whole
question Of whether the unions
may be prosecuted under the anti
trust laws undoubtedly will have
to be passed on in the end, by the
Supreme Court. The law admit
tedly is ambiguous
Section Six of the Clayton Act
says that nothing in the anti
trust laws shall be construed to
forbid the existence and operation
of labor organizations, or ito for
bid or restrain individual members
of such organizations from law
fully earring out the legitimate
objects thereof

its present building trades investi-
cation on the assertion that the

Imperial Valley press., 1939-12-04

Shirley asked me if 1 had ever
heard the story of two holes in
the ground. I said No" With a
twinkle in her eye, she replied:
We'll. Well She then asked me
if l had ever heard the story of
the deep well I hadn't. She said
sweetly: 1T is probably too deep
for you, anyway.
We were on the lot where Shir-
ley Temple is making the Blue
Bird" She sat in her little blue
and white bungalow studying be-
tween scenes with her teacher,
Miss Francis Klant. (Shirleys con-
tract with the studio permits her
presence on the set only seven hours
a day-and three of those hours
must be devoted to schooling. That
is the California law. 1t is rigidly
enforced) Sometimes the entire
cast, directors, electricians, photo
graphers-eyeryone has to stop
while Shirley studies-and 1t costs
the studio about $50 per minute or
two thousand dollars per hour TO
stop.
Shirley takes French lessons
three times a week. She was as
tonished when l told her l could
teach her three hundred French
words in three seconds. She didn't
believe it possible. So I said TO her
in a trifle less than three seconds:
Every English word ending in ion
is French word" There are about
three hundred of them and they are
all spelled the same in French as
in English; but, of course prom
ounced differently: information,
transportation, recreation, demon
stration, and so on.
Shirley earns more money than
any other little girl in the uni
verse, but out of every four dol
lars she earns, she hands three of
them back TO the Federal and
State governments for taxes.
l asked Shirley's mother TO give
me four suggestions for rearing
children that could pass on to
the readers of this column. Here
they are.
l. Mrs. Temple never demands
blind unquestioning obedience from
Shirley If Shirley asks why" she
is told and reasoned with.
2. She never makes Shirley
promise without keeping it.
3. Mrs George Temple has two
other children-Jack (24) and
George, Junior t2O, each differ
ent from the other two. Their
tastes, their desires, their person
alities, their emotional make ups
are all different. So Mrs Temple
handles each one differently. She
doesn't believe there is a set of
rules that will apply to every
child. You must use old fashioned
"horse sense" she says.
4. Mrs. Temple advises parents
to radiate in their own personali-
ties the qualities they desire to
inculcate in their children. If the
parents are poised and happy. the
children will have like tendencies.
If the parents are quarreisome
and hysterical, the children will
also tend 10 develop those traits.
