Einsfein,Serious
OF Face, Becomes
American Citizen

TRENTON, N. j., Oct. 1. (UP)-
DR.. Albert Einstein became a citizen
of the United. States today.
With 81 other aliens, representing
IL nationalities, the famed mathe-
matician and author of the theory
of relativity, took the oath admin
istered by Benjamin j. Havens, clerk
of the federal district court, in the
presence of Judge Phillip Forman.
Addressing the group after the
ceremony of the oath, Judge Forman
pointed out that Einstein. "a re-
nowned contributor to civilization. y
was admitted to citizenship by ex-
actly the same democratic method"
as all the others in the group.
How well is the lesson of Ameri-
ca here exemplified." the court said.
Einstein, his shock of gray hair
as shaggy as ever, smiled broadly
when he entered the courtroom for
the ceremony. But his face became
grave and he listened attentively
as the oath was read, and as Judge
Forman spoke.

County Clerk w. j. Nc
Clelland Tuesday hurried ar
rangements for selective SER

county Oct. 16 after Major
E. j. Plato of Los Angeles arrived
by plane Monday to give him last
minute instructions.
No compensation will be made
those who serve on the registration
boards in the nation, Major Plato
said. Men who register will not be
paid travel allowances or expenses.
"In view of the personal sacrifice
to be made by Iile men who are be-
ing registered for military service" !"
he said, "it is deemed fitting that
the registration service should be
conducted by citizens, including the
regular election officials, who VOL
unteer :sheir services as cortribu-
ton to national defense
Acting upon instruction from Pla-
to, McClelland requested the services
of regular election boards in each
voting precinct of the county. If
they cannot serve, McClelland said,
he was ordered to ask other COM
petent citizens to serve.

Imperial Valley was set down for

and Fascist air squadrOns traded

There were unofficial estimates
in London that $4,000 persons had
been killed and 5000 injured in Sep
tember bombings.
Despite the steadily mounting
tempo of aerial warfare, however,
there were developments of still
greater potential Importance on the
diplomatic front, including:
l. Efforts by Japan to improve
relations with Soviet Russia, thus
strengthening the new German
Italian-Japanese alliance, were pre-
dicted in Moscow, where the Soviet
press indirectly agreed with Nazis
that relations between Russia and
Germany were good and charged
that the United States actually was
engaged in military cooperation with
Britain.
2. The German newspaper Ham,
burger Fremaenplat called upon the
SOviets and the United States to
make known definitely which side
they favor in the war. Nazi spokes-
men said the battle would go on un-
compromisingly until victory was
! achieved over Britain.

A years respite was granted Tues
day TO the Imperial Irrigation dis
trict from payments on the Laguna
dam contract.
The delay, asked because of the
burden of earthquake repair, pro-
vides for putting off the $50, 6,440 pay
ment due in December until a year
after the final payment would nor

Either there were plenty of

Some time ago, chiefly as gag
