The remainder of them were being
based in the interior of Bulgaria,
apparently. ready to move down the
Maritz river toward the Turkish
frontier and Adrianople, key TO the

1t was troops from the Vidin and

Struma and Nest valleys to posi-
tions on the Greek frontier, taking
the route past the Rata and Sofia
areas.

the Danube at Rustchuk, the Bull

with Rumania. were proceeding via
Tirnovo and Plovdiv tPhilippopolis)

WHAT? NO
SATURDAY PAPER?
(ChriStian Science Monitor

Subscribers of small-town dailies in a
number of states have failed recently to
hear the familiar thud of the paper
against the front door on Saturday after
Moons The 40-hour-week clause of the
Federal Wage and Hour law is RESPONSE
BILE Rather than pay overtime, many
publishers are abandoning their Satur-
day issue. The result has been a smaller
pay envelope for the workers, reduced
income for the newspaper owner-and
no paper for the family to read Satur-
day evening Nobody seems to like it
particularly.
The alternative-paying extra wages
would have meant gain for workers.
but real loss to publishers. 1t would
have been difficult to pass on the addi-
tional costs to advertisers in most cases.
But even had advertisers accepted an up
ward revision of rates, they would have
had to pass the costs on to consumers
Possibly, in these days of radio news
services and Friday afternoon bargain
advertisements, it is no great hardship
to readers to do without some Saturday
afternoon papers. But many workers,
along with the owners, feel that the law
is Instantaneous. 1t is applied because
of a comparatively small number of out
of-state subscribers The law possibly
was not intended to apply TO small-town
dailies-but it does.
The average small-town worker does
not especially prize an extra holiday if
he loses days pay. The law was prime
ipally intended for city workers who can
hardly go shopping for a new suit of
clothes or a parlor rug without taking a
day off. Applied to the small newspaper,
it apparently only cuts down employ
ment. A number of lawmakers believe it
needs amendment in this respect.

WHY SUCH SILENCE?'

There was a note in the news the other
day from Berlin that told of an asserted
victory by German mechanical war
unit over a British column in Africa. 1t
was the first indication that Nazi blitz-
krieg machinery was in action with the
Italians. London dispatches paid little
attention to the report In the two days
that followed however, communicates
told of British advances on the front
where the asserted skirmish had taken
place Since then, there has been no men,
ton from either Berlin Or Rome of the
Nazi mechanical troops in Africa.
A lot of Americans have been wonder
ing if the British would have advanced
SO rapidly had they been fighting Ger
mans instead of Italians in Africa Thus,
the significance of the Berlin dispatch:
it proved that they are now fighting both
Germans and Italians. And the British
advance continues.
The silence from Berlin is important
1t means that the Germans are not doing
so well in Africa.

Turkish-BuIgarian
Pact NuNified by
Move, Ankara Says

ANKARA, March 3 (UP)-Semi-
official Turkish quarters said to-
day that Germany's entry into Bull
garia had nullified the Turkish
Bulgarian declaration of non agrees
sion.
This statement was made as it
vas revealed officially that Turkey
had called three new classes OF
troops to the colors
Semi official Turkish sources said
that the German entry into Bull
garia has deprived Bulgaria of her
independence and in view of the
change in Bulgaria's status the
declaration of non-aggreSsion nc
longer can be held binding.
1t was added that Turkey can
not be expected to act until or I'M
less German troops attack Greece
or Turkey or both.
1t was said that three classes of
troops had been demobilized in
connection with calling up of new
levieS.
The best informed diplomatic
quarters in Turkey believe that the
course OF action agreed upon dur
ing the consultations with Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden will allow
Britain to establish air and land
bases on Turkish soil and to pass a
fleet through the Dardanelles in
event Of a German attack on
Greece.
The Turkish army would continue
on the defensive behind the strong

described the Bulgarian situation

BERLIN. March 3 tUP)-A Nazi
spokesman announced today that
the German march into Bulgaria
had been carried out according
to plan" and that up TO 6 pm.
yesterday all extended detectives
were not on any frontier, either
Greek or Turkish.
He said that he assumed that
German troops would not approach
the Turkish frontier.
German political quarters said
Germany's march into Bulgaria
marked the opening of the active"
campaign Hitler had promised in
his speech last week but declined
tc say what Germans next step
would be.
Reports that Germany had hand
ed Greece an ultimatum demand
ing ii make peace with Italy within
two weeks were denied. Spokesman
said Greece had not been given
anything like an uitimatum. a."
There was no indication whether
any suggestion" had been made
to Greece.
Adolf Hitler sent the following
message TO King Boris OF Bulgaria:

BEWARE ISOLATIONISM
(KanSas City Starr

1t would be highly detrimental to any
party today to stamp as definitely isola-
tionist-and equally detrimental to any
party to reveal itself as positively inter
ventionist, a war party" Between
these two extremes there is safer course,
as safe as a world in turmoil would per-
nit.
Senator Austin of Vermont is the assis-
tant minority leader of the Senate AS
the British aid bill is shifted from the
House to the upper chamber of congress
the Vermont senator warns his Republi-
can colleagues against an obviously parti-
san or obstructionist attitude. The warm
ing is timely, because the great bulk of
the House opposition was Republican.
If that is repeated in the senate it is
going to look bad. There is ample lati-
tude for differences of opinion as to fur
Their revision of the measure without a
position that would appear on its face
as outright antagonism. The bill has
Democratic opposition of that nature in
the senate. Republicans should be re-
luctant to join it or seem to fall in with
it.

IF THEY NEED POWER
SO BADLY


Because of the step-up in electric pow
er consumption all over the country since
inauguration of the national defense pro-
gram, the federal government has reviv-
ed a movement to establish Little
TWAS" throughout the nation.
Here in Imperial Valley, the federal
government is out of step with itself.
Either that, or else the cry about a press
ing need for more power in defense areas
is only a cloak to cover accomplishment
of ambitions which Jagged in normal
times.
Secretary of Interior Harold l. Ickes
recently summarized the power crisis
thus:
Boulder Dam is adding three general
ors to increase output immensely.
Bonneville Dam has revised original
estimates to call for ten generators in
stead of the four originally scheduled.
Grand Coulee Dam, from which power
will flow this month, has doubled the
capacity originally planned for it.
Parker Dam generator installation has
been FASTENED so that the first one will
be i'm operation before the end of 1941-
nine years ahead of schedule.
Meanwhile, what of Imperial Valleys
gigantic power project?
The All American canal, construction
of which is directly under Mr.. lckes juris-
dicton, is far behind schedule. Natural
ly, power generation on the canal is far
behind schedule, too. AS far as anybody
knows, absolutely no plans have been
made for Fastening work, or even for
undertaking work, in construction of the
huge Pilot Knob power plant
What has this got to do with defense
industries?
1t has every bit as much to do with
defense as Boulder Dam power.
San Diego is one of the few really vital
defense centers in the United States.
Airplane factories, army and navy bases,
defense industries of all kinds, are even
now doubling the population of San Die
go. San Diego needs power. San Diego
has already sent out feelers toward OBJ
tanning power from the All American
canal.
The only reason San Diego cannot OBJ
tain power from the All American canal
right now is because the federal govern
ment has dallied too long in completing
the All American canal.
Ii Mr.. Ickes is sincere in his demands
for increasing public production of pow
er in hurry, he will send a note down
to the Bureau of Reclamation:
Finish the All American canal, and
do it in hurry Build a power plant
at Pilot Knob. We want no more de-
lays"

Greek Legation to
Leave; Runnor Says
Oil Wells Bombed

BELGRADE, Jugoslavia, March 3
P)-Epiridon Pipinellis, Greek
minister to Bulgaria, and the Greek
legation and consular staffs are ex-
pected momentarily to leave Sofia,
usually well informed sources said
today. and it was assumed that
Greece would break off all diploN
matte relations with Bulgaria.
Rumors that Greece had appealed
to President Roosevelt for advice
and that British airplanes had
bombed the rich, vulnerable Oil
fields of Rumania spread through
the Balkans as German troops
marched through Bulgaria toward
the Greek frontier.
Turkey, restricting passage of
ships through its Dardanelles, said
that it had not closed them, how
ever, as had been reported.
Newspapers published reports
TT the Greek government had
IL 4 note to President Roosevelt
appealing for advice in view of the
German march 10 Bulgaria and
that consequent threat to Greece
in event that it did not make peace
win Italy.
Both in Sofia, where Germany
was asserted to have given Greece
two weeks to make peace. and in
Athens itself there was no sign
that Greece would bow. There were
reports, in fact, that Greece had
started a new offensive.
There were persistent reports
that British planes already HAD
bombed the Rumanian oil fields in
the Ploesti area.
The report was somewhat dis
counted here, and Bucharest denied
it. A United Press Bucharest dis
patch said that not only had the
Rumanian ministry of information
denied the report but that Paul
Lambright, general manager of the
Standard Oil company at Ploesti.
had denied by telephone that there
had been any bombing
Another Bucharest dispatch dis
closed, incidentally that production
OF crude oil, which had been 28OO
carloads a day at the peak, had
dropped to 1400 carloads, mainly
cue to transportation difficulties"

minister, sent a similar message to
the Bulgarian foreign minister,
Ivan Popoff
Germans read for the first time
in their morning newspapers that
German troops had marched into
Bulgaria.
All day yesterday officials refus-
ed to discuss the march, or even
to admit that it had started.
Then at 8 pm. the following high
command communique was issued {:
For reasons of security in face
of British measures in the south

of mental struggles over personal
responsibilities and public cares, lies
stin that hidden, perhaps forgotten
impress of a time when all was
safe secure, mthinking, warm.
And so, when someone comes a
long and offers conditions to the
adult which are a little like that,
the hidden childhood impress comes
to the surface and responds. The
grown man or woman welcomes a
situation in which he is told what
to do, told what TO think, relieved OF
responsibilities and OF guilt for cruel
desires or acts.
Thus there is a certain amount
of appeal in dictatorship for all OF
us. But it does not dominate. Mos
Americans are grown up. They are
men and women. They welcome the
chance to stand on their own legs,
think their own thoughts. bear res
possibility.
Freedom /. is a condition which
only mature, strong, independent
men and women can maintain. To
relapse, by turning over affairs to
a dictator, into a condition of adult
childhood, is a horror to most A
mericans. The child has no doubts.
Even the mental doubts and turmoil
we are going through are a mark
of maturity.
Every lover of freedom today
should set as his slogan the iron
words Paul wrote to the Corinthians:
Watch We, stand fast in the faith,
quit you like men, be strong.
