began coming in-hesitantly at

SAN CARLOS LAKE
IS PARADISE OF
BASS FISHING

Forging another link in the
chain of famous fishing preserves
In Arizona's Paradise of game fish

lake. behind Coolidge dam.
The recognition given by the
Arizona State Fish and Game
Commission in this selection and
intelligent stocking with warm
water game fish is welcomed
by enthusiastic fishermen of
neighboring communities and will
be worthwhile attraction for
our visitors.
X. c. Kartchner, state game
warden, states fishing is good,
but that the commission is going
to make 1t better. There has
always been plenty of food for
fish in Coolidge lake" Kartchner
said. which is one of the first
prerequisites to successful fish
planting"
Last summer. the commission
planted two truck loads of ap-
proximattely $4,000 large mouth
bass. ranging from 3 to 8 inches
long and varying in age from
few months to a year. Many of
these fish, Mr.. Kartchner said.
have reached the legal limit of
IL inches and are now being
caught.
When it became evident, due to
plentiful rains this winter, that
San Carlos lake was becoming a
large body, of water the commits
sion communicated with the Fed
eral Fish Nursery in New Mexico
and made request for large
mouth bass for Coolidge lake.
Their request was granted and re-
Gently two truck loads consisting
of approximately $4,000 large
mouth bass, were planted in Coo
lidge lake. These fish came over
in 40 gallon milk cans, each truck
carrying about 5000 fish rang
ing from to inches long and
from 2 to 8 months old. 1t was a
successful planting, the fish stand
ing the trip across the state
splendidly.
Arizona has no Federal hatch
cry, Mr.. Kartchner said, ana
while New Mexico has always
answered Arizona's request, every
facility Is at hand for a Federai
hatchery of our own.
To raise Coolidge lake to the
high standard the commission de-
sired the large recent planting
consisted of $4,000 large mouth
bass and blue gills-a mixed iot
running from 3 to inches long
and varying from a few months
to a year in age. Some OF these
fish. he said, can be taken beiore
the season is over; the remainder
will be ready for next spring
These fish came from the state
Ash Creek Nursery Auxiliary. The
planting was successful.
Because of the rapid increase
IN the volume of water in the lake
the commission is carefully watch

Stain Takes Precautions
Political Commissors Back in Red Army
To Protect Regime in Cose Of Defect

strength of the reports 1t receives
from Moscow doesn't hesitate to
credit Stain with the firm resolve
to fight to the bitter end, to con-
tinue Russian military resistance
into the autumn and the winter
when mud, frost and snow will come
to the rescue.
1t has been ascertained by diplo-
mats who live in London that the
proposal for the immediate con-
clusion of a treaty of alliance didn't
originate with the British, but with
the Russians, a meaningless move
unless coupled with the will to 90
ahead with the struggle and not to
finch under the blow of adversity.
Only in the case Of a long campaign
will England and-through the
channel of England-the United
States be able to throw in the bal
ance the weight of their resources.

Among all the steps which may
contribute to q successful resistance

vortex of invasion, is to be regarded
as of major importance. The view
always has been held on the British
side that the separate armistice
signed by France on June %. 1910
was to great extent the outcome of
the governmental and administra-
tive dislocation which followed the
hurried escape of the French min
listers and public authorities from
Paris to Tours and from Tours to
Bordeaux.
Had Paul Reynaud and his gov

By CONSTANTINE BROWN.


The news from Russia that the
Kremlin has again ordered poll
tical commissars to join the fight
ing forces is indeed disturbing.
The sending of the commissars
to the army Is interpreted in
well-informed quarters in WASH
ington to mean that Premier
Stain and his Kremlin associates
don't trust the officers and want
to keep a sharp eye on them.
Ever since the start of the war,
there have been rumors that
some high ranking Soviet officers
think the best thing for Russia
would be to get rid of Stain.
These rumors were not borne out
by actions of the Russian Army
which has fought with great
bravery against odds.
Now that the Kremlin has de-
cided to, instill once more in the
minds of the fighting men the
principles of Communism, the
rumors of detection in the COM
mand-down to regimental staffs
have been renewed. Had it
not been for indications that

has been blocked in Georgia,
however, and the company has
not been able to obtain necessary
rights of way. If the bill becomes
a law, this situation will be
cleared up. Another pipe line,
the Plantation Line, from Baton
Rouge. La, TO a point near
Charleston, also is being con-
StruCted.
When the construction of the
big pipe line projected is begun
there will be need for a great
quantity Of steel. The proba-
bilities are that priorities will
have to be established for the de-
livery of this steel, and the gov
ernmental agencies will have to
determine how much and when
the steel can be released for the
pipe line IN competition with the
oth er important requirements
for steel for defense and for the
ordinary needs of the country.
One thing seems certain, the
construction of the pipe line Is
essential unless the East is to
suffer severely from lack of
necessary petroleum and its
products. Since construction
will require considerable time,
advocates of the pipe line are
urging that there be as little de-
lay as possible in getting the
work started.

Nazis Loyal To Hitler.
The Germans have their
Gestapo with the army too. But
the Nazi secret police follow the
troops under the cover of super
vising the occupied territories
and preventing sabotage and
other activities on the part of
civilians behind the lines. They
do a certain amount of discreet
snooping among the troops but
are most careful not to be caught
bv the senior officers. Even
Himmler, it is said, could not
save them from very serious
trouble.
Hitler still enjoys the complete
loyalty of his officers. OF course,
If things went badly for the
German Army, the situation
might change. For the time be-
ing. however. no detection of any
kind is reported. Hitler himself
is with the army all the time and
moves from general headquarters
to regional headquarters. He is
reported to be at the front. some
times close to the scene of battle.
Stain is no soldier. He has not
moved from the Kremlin vet. He
is still the recluSe he has been
ever since he became the actual
head of a nation of 190.000,000
people. The LOYALTY of his Off
GERS is a loyalty to the system
which gave them the rank they
are now holding. 1t is a loyalty
to the country and not to the
head Of the government.
The lack of preparation of the
Russian Army. the lack of wisdom
of the Russian diplomats to see
