Dewey as COP Nominee
New York Daily News)

Yesterday in this space we re-
ported having a hunch that Pres.
Roosevelt wants a third term ana
is wheeling his guns into place
for a third term drive. we eX-
plained our reasons for that
bunch at some length most OF
them being drawn from what
happened at various jackson
Day dinners around the country
Monday evening.
Today we opine that the Re
publican candidate for President
will be Thomas E. Dewey, II the
Democratic candidate is Frank
lin D. Roosevelt.
Deuey has the supreme virtue
from the practical politician
uoint of view, of being a terrific
vote getter, at least in his own
state and his own Guy.
Dewey was elected District
Attorney of New York County
(Manhattan) in November 1897.
For a Republican to get elected
to any important office in dian
haitian is usually the neatest trick
of whatever decade it happens IN
because it happens very seldom.
In the year 1938n, Dewey ran
for Governor against the icum-
bent, Herbert H. Lehman, him
self superior vote getter. Dew
ey came within 10000 votes Of
beating Lehman, who previously
hac been accustomed to plurali-
ties of four and eight hundred
thousand votes and such.
Dewey had a couple of bad
breaks in the 1888 election, to
boot. 1t rained in upstate New
York that day, so that lot of
Republican farmers and their
wives did not turn out to vote;
and something decidedly phony
was strongly rumored in connec-
ton with the vote count in Dem.
machine run Albany. Eeven so,
Dewey cut Lehman's plurity to
a wisp of it's former self.
1t will be objected to Dewey
that he is too young to be presi-
dent-only 81. .....
Well, graybeard though we be.
we must not insist that a man
of 81 is not a child. Alexander
Hamilton became Secretary of
the Treasury at 80; Napoleon
was crowned Emperor of the
French at 35; William Pitt the
Younger became Prime Minister
of England, and darned good
one at that, at "a. Half of our
oters are 81 or younger. We do
not think Dewey's youth will cut
much ice against his chances of |
victory if he runs.
1t will also be objected that
Dewey has no national political
record, as against the Presidents
long and illustrious record. AS a
Republican with record, most
OF the Republican professional
politicians offer Senator Arthur
II. Vandenberg of Michigan.
= Vandenberg has a record, true,

Junior College Chief Came Here
BecauseIt Was Hot, He Declares;
Teaching Experience Elsewhere Told

A man who came to Imperia,
Valley because he had heard. 1t
was hot stayed IL years because
the valley lived up to his expecta-
tons headed the fortunes of Gen.
trail Junior college Saturday.
Glenn Kieffer, junior college in
Structor and acting dean for the
last school year, who was made
permanent dean this week by the
high school board, came to the
valley in 1929.
Il came because it was hot
here and cold where / came from"
he explained bluntly.
Kieffer had been teaching in
Fresno county where he hadn't
seen the sun for six weeks. That
wasn't SO good for his health.
Kieffers teaching career stretch
es from one coast to the other
After being graduated with Bache-
lor of Arts degree from Coe Gil
lege in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. he
taught briefly at high school in
Ohio before enrolling in Witten-
berry College in Springfield, Ohio,
where be obtained his masters de-
gree. Wittenberg is a large Luth-
eran institution.
For a year Kieffer taught as a
principal in Ohio before going to
Florida for his health where he
attended Rollins College at Winter
Park, Fla, before accepting a teach
ing position at Jacksonville, Fla.
From there Kieffer went west to
wyoming where he was high school
principal and later superintendent
of schools in Minturn, Colo Again
it was too cold and he moved west
ward to Fresno and thence to I'M
perial Valley.
Kieffer's SUBJECTS are psychology
and American government, but his
years in smaller schools has made
him general practitioner of
education.
When you are principal in a
school where there are not enough
teachers to go around. there is
no telling what subjects you may
have to teach" he explained. There
fore, he has taught virtually every
thing in the book. at one time or
another
All except Domestic Science
. =" he added
Kieffer looked forward to a grad
ual rather than spectacular grow
tn for the junior college.
IF We can add Is or 20 students

had an increase of SO next year

would do with them. The new

June has been named as natnl1al
dairy month as a means of direct
ing the attention of those en-
gagged in all branches of the in
dustry and the consuming public
to the importance of this in
dustry in our national welfare.
The dairy industry is SO wide
spread that it is generally taken
for granted, without due regard
to the Importance it plays in our
everyday life, both from the stand
point of our physical Well-being
and also our economic welfare.
Nutritionists throughout the coun-
try are constantly emphasizing the
value of dairy products in the
home diet and pointing out that an
increased use of dairy products
would be helpful from the stand
point of good health. Dairy pro-
ducts also provide esse n i a
food nutrients at relatively low

cost. 1t appears, therefore, that a
general increase in the use OF
dairy products would be helpful
both physically and economically
to the users.
During the past few years OF
low prices, those engaged in the
industry have given much atten-
ton to the prices received for
dairy products. The study of prices
of products over long period OF
years shows that the general level
of prices over all commodities is
set not by the handlers or mer-
chandisers of those products but
by the consuming public through
its ability and willingness to buy.
1t is quite evident that prices OF
any one commodity, such as dairy
products, must of necessity fit in
with the scheme of prices in gen.
eral. The desire of the industry,
however, in an effort to improve
its price situation, is to cause the
consumers of dairy products to ap-
preciate them to greater degree
eAAaii AoAhiCAiJ. SOiiouAItClo Will pull :
chase dairy products in line with
their financial ability and their
personal desires. While the indus
try may not be able to change the
financial status of consumers, it
is possible to increase the desire OF
consumers for greater volume OF
dairy products through sound edu-
cational and merchandising acti-
vitieS.
The June dairy month of year
ago was very helpful in moving
rather large SURPRISES of many
dairy products, While we do not
have burdensome SURPRISES at this
time, the possibility of continued
heavy production of dairy pro-
ducts indicates the Importance OF
continued high consumption OF
these products If prices are to bt
maintained al reasonable levels
This program, therefore. justifie.
the attention of all those engaged
in the dairy industry or interested
in its economic welfare.

with the British to keep the Dun
kerque defenses intact. Parts of a
French Army fighting it's way from
the Lille sector toward the coast
distance of 40 miles-Were re-
ported to have reached Dunkerque.
The Poilus who landed here good
naturedly accepted the B. E. F.'s
name for the Dunkerque defenses-
the "Corunna line" recalling Sir
John Moore's exploit in saving a
British Army from annihilation by
Napoleons legions in the Peninsular
War.
British and French alike praised
the fighting qualities of the Belgian
soldiers, many of whom refused to
comply with the Kings order to sur
render. The Tommies expressed
their contempt for the Belgian mon
arch with joke that rapidly spread
through England:
Whats the difference between
Leopold and Judas?"
Leopold didn't take the time to
kiss U.S."
The B. E. F.. officers were high in
praise of their men, many of them
territorials (the equivalent of
United States National Guardsmen)
who had their first baptism of fire
in Flanders.
They declared that mass bombing
attacks have proved to have a stun
ming effect on troops, but to cause
surprisingly few casualties; that this
generation of German soldiers is not
the equal of their fathers who fought
in the World War, and that the
German blitzkrieg depends upon a
heavy infiltration of spies for
major share of its success.
Fishing Boats Aid Rescue.
Swarms of fishing boats able to
penetrate the shallow waters of the
Belgian coast where warships could
not go are playing a big part in the
rescue of the B. E. F.
Hardy fishermen and merchant
seamen in blue jerseys and high
seaboots responded to the call to get
the lads out" They pointed the
noses OF their Saucy little craft at
the heavily bombed shores and res
cued thousands who otherwise would
have been left behind.
A silent lot, they had little to say
about their share in the exploit. But
they praised the pluck of the troops.
One fisherman said:
when we got there the beach was
as crowded as Blackpool Gan Eng

day. Just as we had taken our full
load aboard-and bit over-Jerry

to be in boat to worry. They sang

planes"

Defense Program
To Increase Deficit
$4,173,700,000
U. S. Expenditures
For Fiscal Year Put
At $10,451 100000
BY the Associated Press.

President Roosevelt's expanded
national defense program, it was
estimated officially today, will swell
Federal expenditures in the fiscal
year beginning July to $10,45l,-
100000 and the years deficit to
$4.173, ,70O.0 900.
When the President sent his an
nual budget message to Congress
just five months ago he anticipated
spending $8,524, 100000 and having
a deficit of s2,976 100000. .
Revised estimates by the Budget
Bureau and Treasury showed today
that, on the basis Of legislation
already pending. the defense budget
has since been increased about
81 500 900 900 to a total of $780,
600, 900 and the work relief estimate
has been raised from 81 ,122 300 900
to $1,400, 100000.
These figures are based on the
actual checks to be written by the
Treasury in the coming fiscal year
and do not include approximately
$500 900 900 of additional Army and
Navy contracts to be let at once,
but not to be paid for until some
time after July /, 1941.
Small reductions were shown for
most other items, such as regular
1941 departmental running expenses,
which have been cut by Congress
In action SO far taken.
Meanwhile the Treasury has raised
its estimate of receipts from exist
ing taxes from $6.150, 300 900 to So
261 900 900, and is looking toward
an extra $525 900 900 from the new
tax program. The new taxes were
drafted to yield $3.50, 900 900 a year,
but the collections would not be
that high the first year because
the fiscal year would be nearly
three-quarters gone before the first
of the new income taxes came in
on March IS, 1941. Increases on
excise taxes. however, would 60 into
effect Immediately, If voted.
Even with the new taxes, added
spending will boost the 194l deficit
$500 900 900 above that for the year
just ending, when expenditures will
approximate $9,o5e, 900 900 and the
deficit $3,665. 700, 900.
