While sales in the volatile resale

and adhered to the liz cent price
quoted since late February.
Minor amounts OF the red metal
sold to foreign buyers at 113s cents

UNDESIRABLE ALIENS
IN the UNITED STATES
NeVada Static JOurnaIl

Several developments point to change
of attitude in this country toward what
government officials call 'SubverSlve
activities There is a growing feeling
that Americans may be leaning over back
ward in their efforts to play fair with
the Communists and other advocates of
"sms" which are opposed to our theor-
eo of government.
An example of this change is provided
by the attention being given bill intro
duced in congress by Representative
Ford of California which would provide
for the deportation of any alien shown
to have been sympathetic with or affill-
ated with Communism or to have sought
the support of Communists.
The Ford bill is, presumably, aimed at
such trouble makers as Harry Bridges,
the CIO west coast maritime leader, who
was "whitewashed" after study of his
case by Dean James Lands of the liar
ward law school. 1t is charged that
Bridges made false statements in papers
he filed seeking citizenship in the United
States If these charges were proven,
Mr.. Bridges would be subject to dcpor-
tation under the provisions of the Ford
bill, if it were passed.
which will result in the custer of unde-
sirable aliens is better understood in the
light of some recent developments in
that state. Since CALIFORNIA; legislature,
a few months ago, passed law barring
from relief aliens who have entered this
country unlawfully, ATS have been drop
ped from the rolls. During the month of
April authorities found 401 aliens who
had entered illegally.
This country has long been a haven for
oppressed peoples. 1t has offered oppor-
tunities to them and to the people of
other lands who wished to come here
and establish homes In days when wars
were memories many of them came and
ultimately the majority became fine citi-
zens and good neighbours A few Of the
Bridges type filtered through and there
lies the problem that Representative Ford
is trying to solve
Imperial Valley press., 1940-05-19
OPPOSITION IS REAL
(Wall Street JOurnaD

1t is regrettable that the President, in
defending his reorganization proposals
as affecting the Civil Aeronautics Au-
thority found it necessary to impugn the
motives of those who oppose the trans
fer of that body to the Department of
Commerce 1t is mistake to suppose
that this opposition comes only from "a
group Of well-intentioned people stalking
out an exclusive claim to a so-called
lobby to save lives" or from "particu-
lar groups" acting in selfish protection
of their own special interests" 1t comes
from widespread feeling on the part
of the public that the CAA's job as a
whole has been conSpcuously well done,
and, that being the case that it had bet
ter be left alone to keep on doing that
job as it has so far been doing it.
This feeling is accumulated by another
and more general impression that is man
ifestly deepening, namely, that it is not
so much closer Capitalization of eXecu-
tive control of these administration agen-
cies that is the prime necessity at pres
ent-even if some economy is achieved
thereby-as it is an entirely different
kind of control. The manifest public sup
port of the WalterLogan bill is a demon
stration of the kind of control that peo-
pie instinctively are demanding today,
and this demand is destined to grow in
insistence the greater be the delay in
satisfying it.

ing about courtShip tcchniqucs and
mapping out the details of their
campaign than do boys. They think
they have TO, for so many boys ale
somewhat scared by any great
amount of obvious counting by
girl
Most boys are Still moro timid
about counting a girl who is not
being rushed by other boys. So it
seems to be up to tho girl who
wants courtship experience to get
the boys headed her way.
This takes clear-hcaded thinking.
for there is narrow margin be-
tween girls figuring only as
passing fad and her gathering
many boy friends.
If she cares for the boys only as
scalps to dangle at her bet, her
sun will be short in the land.
But if she takes the trouble to
know and like each one foc what
he is, her star will never set.
Boys profit, too, by doing some
straight thinking on court5hip.
Otherwise they soon find them
selves roped into counting the wrong
girl, or unable to put themselves
across with the ono they want.
If a boy notices that the more Il
girl turns him down, the more OK
cited he gets about her, he may
we'll begin to wonder if he is not
barking up the wrong tree.
1t may be fun to chase one who
is hard to catch up with but what
sort of friend will she make, c5cc
he does get her attention, if she
finds him so unintcresting?
Because of much loose talk that
is abroad, it is easy for both the
boy and the girl to get sidc-r"acked
into courtship code of either pro-
miscuous or heavy petting.
This destroys the purpose OF the
courtship by preventing the cou-
Piles getting to know each other, eX-
cept in this one way. 49,
1t also keeps them from becosn-
ing interested in new persons, with
whom they might build broader
friendship as base for later love.

WASHINGTON, May 18.- The
long Standing row between c. 1. o. S
National Maritime Union and the
Bureau of Marine Inspection and
Navigation is beginning to break in
10 the open.
Biggest Maritime Union complaint
Is the charge the bureau has been
anti-union and has used its powers
under the navigation laws to disCi-
pine militant union men while let
ting steamship owners off with a
Slal; on the wrist.
Early this month the union dis
trlbuted about Washington a pam
phlet, summing up its charges, de-
handing q revision of policies by the
bureau. and calling for dismissal OF
the bureaus director, Commander
r. S. Field. This will touch off some
fireworks.
The bureau is a part of the De-
nartment of Commerce and hence
is responsible to Harry Hopkins. 1t
is an open secret that top depart
mcnt people aren't wholly satisfied
with the bureaus record, and that
certain changes are in the cards.
There will be an immediate back
fire. however. if anything OF the
kind comes on the heels OF the
unions pamphlet. For the rumorS OF
an impending shake-up in the bu-
reau sound to some congressman

strike while a ship is on the high
seas is either mutiny or something
very much like it. The union, how
ever, argues that while ship IS
at anchor or at dock in a port the
seamen might strike without incur

tory hands ashore would incur.
Commander Field doesn't sec it that
way.

TIE STEPS NOW TO
AEET THIS DANGER

When war breaks out it will be too
late to overcome the danger to the Unit
ed States Of Fifth Column groups. The
time to act is now, not after the major
damage has been done.
It has been unfortunate that voices
crying in the wilderness-Martin Dies
was one-have gone not only unheeded
hnE actually scoffed at by our national
administration and by too many other
wise sensible national leaders. 1t has
been unfortunate that score or so of
New Dealers, their sympathies aroused
and their impractical theories appealed
to by cries of freedom" coming from
people who recognize no freedom what
ever, have encouraged and even joined
some movements intended to bolster Fifth
Column strength. - =.
ID It has been unfortunate that Harry
Bridges and his ilk, that proved Com
mnnists within the C1O, that notorious
Moscow sympathizers and widely known
radicals of other kinds, have been petted
and pampered by persons of Importance
in the national life.
The New Deal is waking up to the
danger it has nurtured within its own
boeom. So should the rank and file of
Americans.
4 It is time we stopped protecting llcen-
/ tious conduct on the ground 1t is merely
