ATTORNEY GENERAL WANTS
REDS NAMED IN LAW
(FreSno Bee)

Deportation formerly was a speedy
and also economical way of getting rid of
undesirable aliens But as the result of
the world situation, Uncle Sam now finds
on his hands some 3.947 foreigners for
whom it has been found impossible to
get passports so they can enter the coun-
try of their birth or latest citizenship.
Russia alone has reieced / ,244 applca-
tions for passports. Germany takes the
same stand with respect to citizens of
countries now occupied, which includes
the greater part of Europe.
Yet the law provides for no other dis
position of these cases, so the govern
ment is faced with the alternative of re-
leasing these aliens or holding them ille-
gally.
To meet this situation Attorney Cen
eral Jackson has recommended that Con-
gress adopt policy which includes the
following:
First-Abandonment of deportation as
the only method of handling undesirable
aliens
Second-Confinemen of criminal de-
portees, but parole for those whose char
acter and conduct indicates they would
not be any threat to society at large.
Third-Restriction of immigration at
the sources, SO that visas for permanent
1OoiuSiSC NodlO OG ISSuSu OILY W dll6HS
who intend to become citizens and are
qualified for citizenship.
Fourth-Clarificatio of the law with
respect to exclusion and deportation,
particularly with reference to Commun-
lists and German American Bundists.
The Attorney General urges that Com
munst organizations and the Bund be
named in the law and mere membership
therein be made sufficient ground for
deportation. Under the present law it
must be proved in deportation cases that
membership was in an organization which
advocates the overthrow of government
by force.
The Attorney General has recommends
ed a constructive program to Congress.
Particularly noteworthy is his plain
spoken declaration with respect to Com
munists and Bundists. We have been
beating around the legal bush all too
long in dealing with aliens engaged in
all such anti American activities
Watch the rats scamper should these
recommendations of the Attorney Cen
eral become the law.

The pincer, or nutcracker, form oi
in its modern form, during the
first World War. There are histori-
cal precedents going back as far
as military history goes (and that
is as far as any history goes), but
let's follow it down only from the
first World War.
In the trench stalemate which
developed along the western front,
a general break-through proved
impossible. Therefore, the only way
to advance was to break through
locally at point A, break through
simultaneously at point B little
farther along the line, and then
pinch off everything that lay be-
tween points A and B, havins iso-
lated them by the breaks on both
sides This started with mere trench
raids, and was developed on a lar
ger scale as the war drew to a
close.
The coming of World War II
and the intervening development of
the weapon of the armored division,
SO powerful as to be able to break
through almost any line locally,
opened the way to broader devel-
opment Of the nutcraCker.
The British defeat at Dunkirk
was due to a gigantic nutcracker,
which, breaking through the
French armies south of the coast,
cut the British off from them while

jams of the nutcracker could do
nothing but make their heroic re-

There was just such a frolic for
the windup of Hold Back the
Dawn after Paramount had wait
ed two weeks for a reasonably
sunny day to shoot three beach
scenes with Olivia De Havilland
and Charles Boyer The most typi-
cally Hollywood aspect, though, was
the fact that los other people were
required to film them.
JUST A
SMALL PARTY
There was crew of 40-grips.
propmen, electricians, sound and
cameramen, and their assistants.
The stars had stand-in, double,
wardrobe and makeup expert
apiece, plus a hairdresser. Three
deputy sheriffs kept sight-seers
away, There were 30 drivers, doc
tor, still photographer, publicity
man, script clerk, dialog coach, Is
second-unit people, a public address
system operator (to whom nobody
paid any attention. and the direc-
tors secretary. Oh. yes and the
director, Mitchell Lessen.
The company started out at $50
am. and drove 45 miles to Ok
nard, where the beach looks re-
markably like Mazatlan's Cthe
story's laid in Mexican border
towns, with sand dunes, sage
brush and that creep-craWley vine
that thrives on air and mistreat-
ment.
All morning there was wild spec
ulation as to whether Miss De
Hayilland would 90 in the water or
use double. Seems she can swim
but not very well. Just before noon
Lessen casually asked her if she'd
like a swim before lunch. Miss Dc
Havllland would, and, with her
stand-in and double, disappeared
into the portable dressing room.
Tho three reappeared in flesh-col-
ored elastic maillots, with peach
SILK, tailored slips over them.
The cameras were gingerly taken
onto a platform that extended
some 40 feet into the ocean, but
the waves jiggled too much. Prop
men instantly produced burlap
sacks, filled them with sand and
packed them around the platform.
Then Miss De Havilland fitted
across the sand, plunged into the
water and for 10 minutes was
smacked around by the waves. Ev-
erybody murmured that she was a
very brave girl.

reminder of those obs embarrass-
ing words from the last campaign
the Presidents speech in Boston:
Il have said this before, but I shall
say it again and again. Your boys
are not going to be sent into any

The country has come long way
from that in-yes, in less than six
months. 1t seems years ago, but so
swift has been this drift toward war
that, whether or not the country
was ever being led toward war, it
now seems that we're being pushed.

the mistakes of these six months
are examined. Was too much spent

site was moved to save golf course?

WE NEED THE SKILL OF
A STATESMAN TODAY

Since Americas most pressing need
today is the need of a man skilled in
international dealing, we believe it would
be difficult to find anyone more desir-
able as president than Roosevelt during
this crisis We say this, however, with
full recognition of the fact that we may
expect more and more domestic difficult
ties while he remains as President. With
the world as it is today, we must put
up with them. Their solution must
await the day when the nation can again
afford to place its domestic problems
above those of international Importance.
Meanwhile, however, the American
people have the right to demand that
their President break the silence which
is bringing more and more disquiet to
the public mind For his own good, and
for the good of the wise policies he may
promulgate in Uncle Sans international
dealings, he needs the support IF a united
people. He can best obtain that support
by assuming the full measure Of leader
ship entrusted to him.
The President cannot shock the people.

truth could be.
