Defense
Boons
West
BY JAMES A. SULLIVAN
United Press staff Correspondent

The Pacific coast is finding a
sudden and tremendous new growth
under impetus of a $4,000 900, 900
defense program west Of the Rock
les.
New communities are springing
up almost overnight. Employment
is at record levels and unemploy-
ment is ceasing to be serious
problem. Business activity indexes
are at new highs Public revenue
gains are making new taxes un-
necessary.
A United Press survey from Sc
attic on the north to San Diego
on the south told the same story
business, industry, employ m t,
growth, construction are on their
greatest march since the days be-
fore the 1929 collapse.
One of the most noticeable fea-
lures of this new growth is the
rise of new communities Some Of
them are within cities; some in the
suburbs A few are in previously
undeveloped countrysides. They rise
almost overnight to become COM
plete military cantonments for
training purposes; to become modern
housing developments for civilian
and enlisted personnel engaged in
defense work.
They are found around the Puget
Sound and Mare Island navy yards
the military establishments at Fort
Ord, Camp Roberts, Fort Lewis
Torrey Pines, March Field. Hamil-
ton Field, Camp McQuaide, Camp
San Luis Obispo and other military
bases: the naval bases at San Pedro
and San Diego: the privately owned
airplane factories at Burbank, San
ia Monica, Glendale, San Diego ano
other Southern California cities
the naval air station and supply
bases around Oakland and Alameda
Benecia arsenal and other cities
where defense work is in progress.
One of the communities for pri-
vate homes already has a name
West Park. It's an adjunct of Brem-
erton, Wash. and it was planned
to accommodate enlisted and civ.a
personnel of the Puget Sound navy
yard. Present plans provide con-
struction of 600 homes and more
will be necessary. A survey showed
Bremerton needed 1900 h housin s
units by July ] and there were nc

the need. The boom in that area

Border Burglary
Mystery Solved

a hearing in that city during the
prosecution of Hernandez.
Mexicai police said Hernandez
was responsible for daylight raids
made on Imperial Valley homes
along the border while the families
were at work on the ranches or
away from home. He took S51 from
the Sakai home, two diamond rings,
a camera four fountain pens. three
checks, a necklace, and a mans
gold watch. Sakai's name engraved
on one of the pens was the key
which opened the way to solution
of the case. Hernandez had peddled
the pen in MeXicali.
Hernandez in 1926 served two
years in Leavenworth federal pris-
on for violation of the drug act
and in 1885 was sent to San Quentin

new YORK PAY
ACT IS UPHELD

New York City (ILNS).-The New
York State Minimum Wage Law for
women and minors was upheld in
Brewster, New York, when Diana
Beck, former owner of beauty shop,
was found guilty by jury of paying
less than the minimum wage under
Mandatory Minimum Wage Order
No. 2. A fine of $100 was imposed.
Judge J. Ward Morehouse denied a
motion to dismiss the case on the
ground that the law was unconstitu-
tional, stating that he believed the law
was constitutional and that the wage
order was not an improper delegation
of power to the Industrial Commits
sioner.
According to Miss Kate Papert, head
of the Division Of Women in Industry
and Minimum Wage, State Depart
ment of Labor, this decision is impor
cant inasmuch as it is one of several
which have been complete reversals of
decision in case in which Bronx
Court of Special Sessions declared the
law unconstitutional.

81 beg of you to allow me to add
my camel to the others and / shall
then most humbly offer my services
as mediator"
1t was agreed by the sons that this
idea might be good.
And so, with 20 camels the mediator
proceeded to his work, giving to one
son ten camels, to another five and to
another four. Whereupon the medi-
ator mounted the remaining camel
and rode off.
1t had needed but some sense to
bring a solution to the problem. The
sons were happy, the camels were fed
and again all was light and sweetness.
Lack of reason had worked hardship.
And the camels had all but died.
Whether the story is true is, of
course, another question. But prob
ably it is true. Anyway, it could be.
And also it is true that in many
disputes reason could as well be al
lowed to function at the outset, in
stead of getting it's chance only after
long and destructive battling. =
