Except for the capture OF Ant
werp, only 100 miles from Eng.
land, the German high command
communique did not indicate an,
definite increase in the bulge
made in the Maginot line defenses
in France, south of Maubeuge.
II said specifically German
armored units had smashed two
enemy divisions and pursued the
retreating enemy" over the upper
Sambre river and as far south as
the upper Disc. This would agree
with the French report of fight.
ing in the vicinity of Hirson
Vervins and Avesnes, some &c
miles from Paris.
Strike Deeply
German mechanical units, how
ever, have struck more deeply
into French territory in an at
tempt to break up rear-line COM
munications and disorganize the
allied defense, and some of these
thrusts were reported to have
been toward st. Quentin, scissors,
and Rheims. possibly within 70
or IS miles Of Paris.
The allied air force also was
reported by the German COM
munique TO have bombed the
big German ports OF Hamburg
and Bremen. This drew a
high command warning that
the consequences" - presum-
ably bombardment of English
ports-rested on the heads Of
the allied filters, who allegedly
attacked mon military" areas.
Aerial bombardment by both
sides continued intensely along the
battlefront in France. where the
Germans were driving toward
Paris, as well as channel ports.
Fear ENFORCEMENT
A French war office informant
said the allies withdrew from the
Antwerp-Namur line to a point
west of Brussels, in order to pre-
vent encirclement and the danger
of being cut off from the armies
fighting on the French front.
With the battle now in full fury.
the situation remained serious. he
said, but there was a better i'm
preston today.
British air force planes were
cooperating closely with the
French, and the London air min
istry asserted today that its planes
had heavily-bombed German bases
and lines OF communication in
France, as well as Belgium. dur
ing the night, in addition to at
lacking important military OBJ
jectives in western Germany.
Operations. the air ministry said,
were on heavy scale.
Battle in 9th Day
The allied armies of France.
Great Britain. Belgium and Hol-
land were fighting with their
backs 10 the channel ports and
Paris on the ninth day of the
German blitzkrieg.
The battle had reached the
crisis stage.
French troops had been ordered
10 die where they stood If they
could not advance.
Allies Surprised
II was admitted now that the
German army. with its over
whelming fleets Of planes and
tanks, had attacked. and pressed
its attack, with a fury and per-
sistence which general stats Of
the allied nations. in all their
20 years Of preparation since the
last war, had never dreamed
would be possible.
Fighting was described by
French military experts as com
parable with that OF Verdun. rs
miles to the east, whose soil has
been enriched by the rotting bones
Of hundreds Of thousands Of World
war soldiers.
But the battle was becoming
even more furious. Both sides.
military reports said At Paris.
were throwing reinforcements into
the fight hour after hour.

MEMRER
THE MORROW RECALL
PURELY POLITICAL

The abortive movement under way at
Brawley to recall Charles Morrow as
director Of the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict is manifestation Of one Of Dcmoc-
rags most irritating skin diseases, the
unQuestioned right Of vociferouS minor
tiles to angle for greater power with
a hook baited by political nonsense.
The recall power is the most often
abused of ali safeguards placed about
the election Of public officials.
There is nothing in The charges against
Morrow, as listed by the recall petition,
that cannot wait until regular elec
tion to be placed before the voters of
his division.
1t was the sam, with the recent recall
attempt against GOV. Olson. This paper,
while it opposed Olson'S election in the
first place, and agreed with many of
the criticisms voiced against him by
those who sought bis recall, ncvcrthc-
less opposed the recall The governor
was elected by a majority of the voters
of California. and is entitled to his
chance to fill his office without being
heckled by unpr;ncipled political enem-
les.
SO is Morrow entitled to his office
without such vicious heckllng.
If the Brawlcy division director has
in truth gone contrary 10 the wishes of
the people in his division, they will have
the chance to say SO at the proper time
Meanwhile, the people should not be pat
to the expense of a special election just
to grant the whim> Of !; group Of poiti-
clans.
Short Of downright dishonesty in Of
flee. or maladninistration. We sec small
excuse for recall election. There are
times. OF course, when public official
has so violated his trust. while still re-
manning within the confines Of the law,
that the recall should be invoked. This
does not appear to be one Of those times
If recall elections are to be based on
such issues as those brought up in the
Brawley division. We may expect to have
an election every day Of the year in one
place or another.
