would heal a 22-year-old ache to

The terms given France today
were based on three premises. These
were read to the four French ennis

after Hitler had handed them his
terms.
The armistice, said the preamble
read by Keitel, must:
Assure Germany that France
will not again take up the battle.

needed for carrying on the war
against Britain.
3.-Lay the foundations for an ul-

Chairman David I. Walsh of the

day declared himself against giving
aid to the Allies. He told the senate
he would resign his post rather
than vote for United States entry
into anything except a defensive
war.
Walsh spoke after Sen. Claude

peal for every aid short of war for
the Allies.
IF the totalitarian powers come
knocking on our door, I am going
to be prepared ito meet them, but
am not going out to invite them,'
Walsh said Let all the private
agencies that wish give aid to the
Allies, but not the government be-
cause that would be an act of war"

Walsh said that those in RESPONSE

Pherrin Friday announced the
names of an Imperial county COM
mittee that will direct recruiting
of volunteers in case of national
emergency.
Judge McPherrin Thursday was
placed in charge of emergency re-
cruiting in the county on orders
OF Governor Olson. Superior court
judges in every other, county in
California were named to similar
positions and similar procedure was
followed in every other state in the
union.
The committee named by Judge
McPherrin was:
Hugh Osborne, executive assist
ant.
DIR. G. S. Brooks, medical direc-
tor.
Ben Hulsc, transportation dir
ectOr.
Vaughn N. Thompson, director
of recruiting boards.
Paul jenkins, publicity director.
The committee was expected to
meet within the next few days to
form plans for creation of emergen-
cy recruiting stations in virtually
every community of the valley. In
event of an emergency, the sta
tons would register volunteers and
transport them to the nearest mill
