Preble spiked criticism aimed at
children of the home with this
comment:
"A fact few realize is that less

The other youngsters are orphans
or victims of broken homes who
are just as fine a group as you

Nazi Papers in
Furious Attack
Upon Poland
Threat to Bomb Danzig
Brings Out Viscious
Replies in Berlin

BERLIN, Aug. 8. (UP)-
Nazi newspapers, apparently
by instruction united today
in a furious editorial attack
on Poland as Adolf Hitler
conferred with Albert Forster, DAN
zig Nazi leader.
Morning newspapers started the
bombardment, basing their blasts
on an alleged statement by the
Warsaw newspaper Gas, pro-
government organ, that Poland
would lombard Danzig if free city
authorities, in their desire to unite
with Germany, attempted to con-
front Poland with an accomplished
fact.
The afternoon newspapers in
creased the fury of the attack They
brought out their largest type and
in sensational first page articles
warned Poland to beware.
The BIZ Am Mittag said in a
huge headline across its first page:
Poland, be careful! This is our
reply to Poland, running amok and
threatening Europe's peace and
Justice The zWoelf Uhr Blatt, in
red headline of similar size, said:
1.-The German people warn; thus
far but no farther This is our re-
ply to the Infamous Polish provoca-
tion."
The BIZ Am Mittag also pub
lished on it's first page cartoon
depicting a Pole about TO fire a
cannon, which explodes backwards,
knocking him off his feet.
The caption was: Careful, mar
shal, there are guns which go off

ton, the election, mail and income

smeasure includes packing shed Ia
bOrers in the list of agricultural
workers" exempted from applica-
ton of the federal Social Security
Act.
With one federal law recognizing
packing shed workers as agricult-
ural laborers, valley farmers fore
saw an end to attempts by the
National Labor Relations Board to
assume jurisdiction over packing
sheds on the ground those who
work there are industrial laborers
The NLRB, pursuing its attempt,
last season conducted collective
bargaining election in Salt River
Valley sheds in Arizona, and has
already laid the groundwork for
similar elections in Imperial Valley
and Salinas sheds in California.
This new law will knock the
props out from under the NLRB
in its attempts to help the CIO or
sanize packing sheds" Secretary
Manager Hugh Osborne of the AS
sociated Farmers of Imperial Coun-
ty declared,
Rep Bucks amendments apply
the term agricultural laborers' to
all persons employed in actual pro-
duction of agricultural commodities
and to the handling or processing
of such commodities. 1t declares
in brief, that agricultural laborers
are those engaged in producing and
handling farm products prior tc
their delivery to the market place
The original act, while it gave
exemption to agricultural laborers
did not define the term. The re-
suit was confusion, with farmers
on one hand claiming that packing
shed employees were agricultural la
borers, and the federal government
both through the social security
administration and the NLRB, de-
claring that they were indstrial
workers.
In its application to the Social
Security Act, the new measure will
save Imperial Valley shippers ano
packing shed employees alike thous-
ands of dollars annually in socia1
security taxes.
