A basket in the last 20 seconds
of play by an Iowa sub, Tom Chap

basketball team in an exciting
finish Saturday night at Naval
Armory. The score was 1875.
Chapman, who had entered the
game only a few seconds before,
stole under the basket after a
scramble, and all alone, sank the
short shot. 1t was his only score
in the game.
Put on Rally
The Titans put on a great rally
in the closing minutes after trail

With six minutes to play, Iowa
was leading, 1926. Then the
Titans, with Johnny Gedda, Art
Stolkey and Frank Dulapa. came
up to tie the score with little more
than a minute to play.
The tying points came on the
games, most spectacular field goal.
Gedda dribbled through the GEN.

one hand from far out. 1t went
through the net, and drawing a
foul on the play, Gedda also made
that good to tie the count at 35.

AIR BASES FOR DEFENSE
or THE AMERICAS

Uncle Sam got the best of the deal
when he traded Great Britain 81 over-age
destroyers for 99-year leases on air base
sites vital to defense of this hemisphere.
Principal complaint you hear against
the deal is embodied in the statement :
I'VE should have taken over those air
bases for the money Great Britain owes
us from the last World war
That would have been fine, had it been
possible Unfortunately, it was not. One
country cannot seize the property of an
other as payment for a debt, without
going to war To do it. Great Britain,
perhaps, would not have gone to war
against the United States because of such
an action at this time, because Great
Britain is busy elsewhere But how could
we have justified our national conscience,
when we supposedly stand for mediation
to settle international disputes, not force?
The statement has been made, too,
that President Roosevelt'S arbitrary
transfer of destroyers to Britain, and
leasing for this country of those air bases,
was an act of dictatorship, since it was
done without the approval of congress.
We see nothing of dictatorship in it.
The deal was entirely within the Presi-
dents power to make, under laws that
have existed ever since the United States
became a nation. The law did not re-
quire approval by congress for such
deal. And congress already had given
the President "blank check to cover
such transactions.
No more do we see in the transfer any
thing approXimating an act of war. 1t
was purely and simply business deal.
We gave fair value for goods received.
In fact, we got a bit more than we gave.
Had we made an outright gift of those
destroyers to Great Britain, it would un-
doubtedly have been an act of war. We
would have been placing our own proper
ty, without having had it paid for, at the
disposal of Britain. But who can say we
have not the right to sell goods to Great
Britain?
We can sell her oil, and nobody objects.
We can sell her steel, and planes, and
guns, and nobody objects. What is the
difference? They are all materials of
war.
On the other hand, We are certainly
entitled to buy, lease or rent any military
or air bases necessary to our own defense.
Certainly it is no act of war to strengthen
our nation against aggression.
And it must be remembered that one
stfategically placed air base will bolster
our national defenses ten times more
than those so over-age destroyers could.
We reiterate, it was a good deal

1t would be perfectly simple, for

ELECTION BOARDS

Now that the primary election is
matter of record books instead of cam
paign promises, it is high time to take
notice of group of people without whom
no election could be held yet who feature
in the news less than any others. The
election board members.
Imperial county was extremely fortu-
nate this year in its election boards. AL
most without exception. experienced cam
paigners complimented the board men,
bers, en- masse, on their efficient ham
ding Of voters and their sensible con-
duct in tallying votes. It is almost un-
heard of to conduct any election without
single major "boner" by some election
board-yet there were none in this county
on the day or night Of Aug. 27.
The county owes its thanks to the cleo
tion boards, whose members give twice
over the work for which they are paid.
Their functioning is the functioning of
Democracy-servicet to the public cause
because it is the public cause-not be-
cause it pays high wages.

Federal registration of 100000 non

Possibly it is because these foreignborn

CUDAHY'S DEFENSE

Ambassador Cudahy's rather startling
comments on the conduct of nazi troops,
seeming to slur American soldiers, don't
seem so bad as he explains them. But
the effects are unfortunate.
He seems to be another example of the
mistakes that are so easily made, and
the harm done, with the best of inten-
tions, by diplomats not trained for diplo-
macy. 1t is highly technical and deli
cate profession for which business, or
political or professional success at home
may not qualify man. Thus the Incl
dent is another argument for trained
American diplomats in high places.
AS regards the point which seems to
rankle most in American minds-the
compliment to nazi troops as compared
with American troops, which very natur-
ally gave offense to our army and public

HOLLYWOOD. Sept. 5-There
are Indications that the movies fl
nally are getting around to some
of the more obvious uses of their
unique technical advantages-as in
sound drubbing, which can be en-
ployed for comedy as well as con-
venience
Probably you remember that in
"TurnaboGta John Hubbard and
Carole Lands spoke with each
others voices. That was the SIM
plest sort OF trick with sound film.
Funnier yet will be some of Frank
Morgan'S sequences in "Hullabaloo"
in which he has the role of an imi-
tator. So he soes through the pic
ture talking in the distinctive tones
of various celebrities.
Metro might have put a pro-
fessional impersonator into the part
with fair success, but the effects
will be infinitely more startling
and easily identifiable this way
because when Morgan opens his
mouth the voice you hear actually
will be that of the person he's sup
posed to be initiating. He can be
Garbo or Mickey Rooney or Wal
lace Beery or anyone.
An especially good scene should
be the one in which he finds it
expedient to make love to a hat
chet-faced old biddy. So he charms
her into palpitant dither by imi-
tating the voice of a great screen
lover
Substitution of sound tracks is
an old trick on films for foreign
release. All the studios used to have
laboratories in Europe which would
put French and German dialog in
to En- glish-speaking pictures mere
ly by recording new sound tracks
with native actors and actresses. OF
course the words didn't match very
well with the lip movements seen
on the screen. yet the ghostly dub
bers became amazingly clever and
audiences didn't mind
