EARL BROWDER ACTS

Action of Earl Browder, America's No.

sum up, his defense against passport
fraud charges in a New York federal
court brought TO mind the old quip
about the chap who is his own lawyer

Most Americans didn't need Browder's

very fact that he is a Communist proves
his lack Of good sense.

OLD SOL IS TROUBLED
{ Riverside Press

The sun seems to have big stomach
ache or something lately. 1t shoots out
flames to vast distance. There Is on
its face a blotch of spots Is times as
long as the earth'S diameter, which can
be seen with the naked eye Just at sun
down.
These spots are cyclonic storms in
the outer rim of solar fire, vast enough
to hold scores of bodies the size of our
earth, so astronomers tell us 1t is as
great a. display of bad weather as has
ever been seen on this great luminary.
The disturbed condition will probably
last for weeks and is likely to produce
violent electric storms, Northern light
displays. and so on. Riverside up to date
has experienced but mild displays of
bad weather. We have had period of
light rainfall and few days of very
strong ''norther" conditions and now we
are having delightful sunshiny weather.
Astrology- minded people might pre-
dict great human consequences, too. And
there might be something in that besides
superstition. Disturbances flooding our
solar system with electric vibrations
might upset our nervous systems, our
brains and our behavior, along with
weather. radio waves and telegraph
wires.
The scientific superstitions, anyway,
may be interested in seeing whether this
sunspot period comedies with a more
violent phase of war and diplomacy.
There is one thing, however, which
we are positive Of that Riverside, like
the rest of the world will accept what
comes to it and be thankful it is no
worse than it is.

have pleased the Smith inveSti-
eating committee, before which six
OF them testified. but it was only

What The committee had against

the fact that none of them were

He was more interested IN bring

a SENSELESS.
FUTILE STRIKE
iSan FranCiSCO NeWS)

The strike of the ship clerks, Just
ended, was SenseleSS and futile.
Like the retail store clerks. who We're
engaged in that abortve three months
long strike a year and half ago, the
ship clerks and the longShorcmen We're
msed into Il situation that did neither
themselves nor anybody else any good
II did the cause Of labor and. the COM
mtrce and reputation of san Francisco
incalculable harm.
After 50 days of lGleness, which cost
the clerks and their fellow workers on
the waterfront more than 81 100000 in
lost wages, they go back to work on the
same terms and conditions that prevail
ed when they went on strike.
That is the price they pay for unwise
and irresponsible leadership
Everybody who was not drunk with
imagined power or blinded by prejudice
could forpSpe this result.
Dean Wayne L. Morse, so highly re-
garded by both workers and employers
as a mediator and arbitrator. stated ON
Oct l8: There is not a single issue
now pending between the unions and the
Shipowners that cannot be settled with
out resortinp to strike or lockout"
The News said the same thing editor
tally many times before the strike. After
il began, in pleas to the clerks and long
shoremen to go back to work, this news
paper told them they had everything to
lose and nothing to gain by keeping the
port tied up.

DEATH TAKES THE WHEEL
FOR ITS ANNUAL RACE
Jan. 20, 1939:-None dead.
Jan. 20, 1910 0:-TWo dead.

Jan. 20, 1910 Two dead.
SO death got off q head start this year
in It's race for rev record Of pain, Sut
fcrlng and mlSeA.
He had lot Of help. Before the year
is out, he will have more help; help from
mOrOnS who travel 50 miles an nour over
highways where 50 miles is racing the
fringe Of safety, help from dumbellS who
swear Il can drink and drive, too help
from halfWitS who twist the wheel and
growl, Il ca1 Jus, barely make IL help
from bores Who FORGET courtesy when
they driVp-help from hundred and one
kinds of autoists whose very motoring
existence is a challenge 10 the grave.
All this is the mere tragic because
it is not necessary that so much as one
life be sacrificed on the highways. Just
one thing will prevent the bloody toll.
Common sense
Remember next time you get behind
the wheel Of your car;
1t won't do bit of good 10 hurry
where you're going if YOU never get there
at all-and YOU may not get there if
you hurry too much. Already too many
motorists in this county and elsewhere
have been sidetracked from their desti-
nation to the mortuary because Of their
own lack Of sound common sense.
Imperial county, in spite Of its bad
start, can beat death in this annual
race. But. if the grim gentleman is to
be cheated Of his prey, every motorist
must help. The one who doesn't is the
one who will end up with battered and
bleeding body, unseeing eyes and grief
stricken family.
