THE NEXT CHANGE
ONE Ik PSYCHOLOGY

Imperial Valley has got to change its
viewpoint.
Psychology is pretty frightening
word, but psychology means dollars and
cents TO Imperial Valley IN the next few
years. 1t does. that is if the valley adopts
a new outlook.
It's not going to be easy. We've been
singing mournful tunes so long, they've
become a worse habit than New Deal
spending, if anything can be worse. Very
definitely our psychology has not been
one of defeat, yet to most outsiders II
had all the appearance of defeatism. We
had to tell a hard luck story.
We don't have to any more.
We had to tell the world how flood
threatened to engulf us and drought to
dry us up and blow us away. We did that
to prove that Boulder Dam and the All
American canal were not mere toys, but
real necessities Now we've got Boulder
Dam and the All American canal.
We had to tell the world how high our
power rates were, so we could get them
down to reasonable level Now we've
got them down.
We had to tell the world that bank
ruptcy threatened our very community
life, so we could bring about fair, eqult-
able refunding program. Within a month
or two that refunding program will be in
operation.
We had to lay bare to the gaze of the
whole nation our critical need for farm
drainage and farm credit. Drainage goes
hand in hand with refunding; farm cred
it is easier to get now than it has been
for many years
We had to give the world pretty
gloomy picture of ourselves, because that
was the only way we could get the things
that were vital to us.
Now that we've got those things, we
must break the habit of pessimism that
has become almost second nature to a
lot of u.s. We must present the new pic
rture as we see 1t.
We've got lot to boast about. More
than 80 out of hundred agricultural
communities in the United States. The
list would be so long it would take up
this entire page, and more. Our major
problems are solved. Our future lies
plainly before us-a future in which
optimism is the keynote. That's the
thing we must realize
No more of this gloom. Let's show our
new, brighter side to the world-and the
world will help make it brighter still.

OLSON HEARS PROTESTS

For once, our cheers go up for Cover
nor Culbert l.. Olson.
The governor is in such tough spot
he deserves a few cheers, along with the
booing.
Practically everybody in California is
protesting against the governors draft
board appointments. Democrats are pro-
testing because he appointed too many
Republicans. Republicans are protesting
because he appointed too many Demo-
Gratis. Labor is protesting because he ap
pointed too many industrialists. Anti
suhversive groups are protesting because
he appointed Max Radin on one board.
(That is the only protest we are inclined
to agree with.) If there is any organized
political group which has not yet pro-
tested, it is probably because there has
not yet been time to phrase the protest
No official action could draw protests
from so many widely divergent groups
if it were purely partisan.
This is ono cJse where the identity of
his enemies seems to be a compliment to
the governor.
That's why we're cheering for him.

Now that the legislature has outlawed
the Communist party by passing a bill
denying il place on the California elec-
tiOn ballot, mary people may be inclined
TO consider that the red menace" in this
state has been subdued. if not abolished.
But that conclusion is wrong.
In practical consequences. adoption of
this bill will be little more than the i'm
pressive recording of an official protest.
The voting strength of the Communists
i'm this staue has never been enough to
make its candidates serious contenderS
for public office. Moreover, Communist
candidates. for office, being necessarily
daylight matters, have been open and
visible. 1t is the invisible activities of the
Communists that are the real danger,
just as termites are much more destruc-
tive and much more difficult to combat
than barnacles.
Either with or without legally recog-
niZed party status in the state, the Com
munists will continue to plant member
ships in miscellaneous organizations and

their encouragement of class conflict,
and in their intellectual seduction of

The Inside Track in Washinqton

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14-A little
noticed ruling by Attorney General
Jackson has put the National Labor
Relations Board in the drivers seat
in connection with the defense pro-
gram.
IE response to a request from the
defense commission, Jackson ruled
in effect that firm is in violation
OF the Wagner act when the board
says it is, rather than when the
boards decision is passed or by the
courts.
Jackson was asked to rule be-
cause the defense commission has
just decreed that no army or navy
contracts for defense materials will
be negotiated with any firm which
is violating any of the governments
labor laws. Naturally the question
at once arose, who decides when 4
given company is violating one of
these laWs-the Wagner act, for
instance?
TWO MEMBERS
NOW AT ODDS
Hereafter, Their, the labor board
can shut any corporation out Of
the defense program by finding,
in a case brought before it, that the
corporation is violating the Wagner
act. Jackson's ruling said a COM
pany would become eligible again
if the circuit court should reverse
a labor board finding against it;
but between the labor boards ru-.
ling and the circuit courts decision
many morths may elapse.
Right now the labor board is q
tWo-man affair, the two men being
Edwin c. Smith and DR.. William
Leiserson who oppose each other
bitterly Oh practically all points
The term of the third member, j.
Warren Madden, expired some
weeks ago-and it is no exagger-
alton, in view of the Jackson ruling
to say the appointment of his sue
ceSSOr is OF vast importance to the
defense program.
Imperial Valley press., 1940-10-14

Smith and Madden teamed to-
gether. Because that was so the
board tOday-in its pers9nrel, us
policies and its outlook-Very
largely reflects the soci'l and eco
nomic viewpoint of Smith.
And the point to remember IS
that Smith for a long time has
cCme about as close to being
fellow traveller of the COMMUNISTS
as any official in Washington.
CLEANUP HINGES
ON THIRD MAN
Smiths closest associates on Lhe
hoaro are its secretary, Nathan
Witt, and its associate general
counsel, Thomas l. Emerson, a
solid rucleus has been built up
within the board of key position
employees who sec eye to eye with
these three. Regional officers III
the field are except-'i.
The result is that a group all
but openly identified with the IA
nous party line" has been in
position to run the labor board.
The congressional committee hat
has spent a year investigating the
labor board missed all this COM
pletely. 1t identified ordinarily lib
eral ard pro-labor people as Com
munists and never once got into
the real problem-wtich has been
common gossip in the capital for
at least year by my own know
ledge. Its ora definite achieve
ment was to knock out the boards
research division--the one division
in the whole board over which the
Smith-Witt faction had never been
able to get dominance.
Leiserson has tried to bring f.b0ut
q cleanup but has been unatie to,
since Madden usually voted with
Smith. If the presid snt now ap-
points a man who will work with
Leiserson, that cleanup will take
place. if he reappoints Madden, or
names a man who will work with
Smith, it wont.

BUT The MENACE REMAINS
New Castle, Pa, News)

Believers in true democracy, unbiased
by partisanship or swayed by eXtenuatng
circumstances, Republicans and Demo-
crats alike, will heartily agree with John
w. Davis, the Democratic presidential
nominee of 1924, when he says he would
not trust "the expanding, the fateful pow
ers of the presidency" to any man for
more than eight years.
Appearing before senate sub-com-
mittee in support of a proposed constiu-
tional amendment to limit presidents to
one term of six years Mr.. Davis, an at
torney, said in a prepared statement:
Il care not how others may feel, but for my
self the man has not yet been born of woman
and I use that phrase because it includes both
the living and the dead-the man has not yet
been born of woman to whom would entrust for
than eight years at the most, the vast the
expanding the fateful powers of the presidency
of the United stales."
Il would tremble for my country if such a
thing ever came to pass" Mr.. Davis continued.
And I shall tremble quite much if such an
idea can find Judgement in the minds of the
American people. 1t strikes at the root of all our
national ideals, all public professions. all our
boasted capacity for selfgovernment.
We have become sterile indeed if cannot
produce at any and all times the men We need
to fill our public offices so sterile indeed that
we would then longer deserve the liberty We
would not longer have the will to protect"
We thoroughly agree with Mr. Davis as
must the vast majority of additionally
free and independent Americans when he
refuses 'to believe that in this land of
general enlightenment, any man in any
post is ever indispensable"
A highly-esteemed and veteran leader
of the Democratic party, these words in
creased weight with a Democratic admin
istration in power and a president seek
ing a third term under the Democratic
banner. Yet every true Republican would
speak likewise under similar conditions.
He could not do otherwise and still re-
main true to the principles of democracy.

HOLLYWOOD S Fads, Fancies and Foibles

only statistical press agent could
estimate how many tons of uncook-
ed corn flakes have swirled down
from the catWalks between the
hidden wind machines. It's re-
markable winter scene. even for
Hollywood, because they're actually
using four kinds of snow.
The cornflakes are for falling
flakes, being the only thing that
behaves realistically and isn't dam
gerously dusty. Powdered gypsum,
which has just the right sparkle
for fresh-fallen snow. covers the
large yard by the ton. But gypsum
is no good for tracks, so in the
area where child plays, and along
the path where people walk, a
thick, soft mixture of dry soda
and plaster has been placed. This
makes fine footprints.
But the boy. Buddy Swami, must
throw snoWballs, and none of the
synthetics is any good for that. So
real ice has been ground and crush
ed into snow. and couple of bar
rels Of it are kept ready on the

prise at the sudden appearance of
George Tobias while she's stand

The latter had ridden to the house,
and his horse is standing in cam

Lew Seller, the director, wanted
Miss Patrick to be genuinely start
led. so he secretly arranged for a
prop man to fire a revolver at the
instant the actress was supposed
to see Tobias. There wasn't any
dialog, so the scene could be filmed
