Coast Guard Plans
New Landing Pier
For SaIton Sea
Project will Enable
Navy Planes to Use
Sea During Maneuvers

The United States coast
guard Friday called for bids
for construction of a 236 foot
pier at Sandy Beach on Sal
ton sea.
It was understood that a small
force of men will be kept in the
vicinity of the pier bJc large groups
will be brought in from time to
time after its construction to assist
in practice maneuvers planned for
United States Navy seaplanes.
Close cooperation was ordered be-
tween the coast guard and the
Navy recently and this project on
Salton sea was being handled under
the terms of the cooperative ar
rangements.
The Navy wanted the pier con-
structed so they will have a place
where they can land in practice
flights over the mountains from
San Diego. This pier construction
was understood to be separate from
the construction planned along the
sea by other branches Of the serv-
ice.

government will carry out policies
which already have been establish
ed.
The unique joint declaration by
Japan'S army and navy carried a
similar implication. 1t said that the
main lines of national policy al
ready had been established at the
imperial conference July 2 and re
main immutable ana independent
of the cabinet change"
(The joint declaration by the
army and navy was believed to be
almost if not entirely unprecedent-
ed and was thought to indicate
plainly that the heads of Japan's
armed forces regard the present mo-
ment as one of grave and possibly
momentous consequence in national
affairs.)
CReports heard in London were
that Japan has received an sos
from Germany asking her to attack
Siberia Immediately to aid the Nazi
offensive against the Soviet)
The army-navy statement said
that the nation must expedite, in
unity, the rapid strengthening of
Japan's wartime structure"
The Vernacular press Immediately
raised discussion of what it called
the Siberian question but the
Domei news agency insisted that
'well-informed quarters" regarded
japanese foreign policy as unchang-
ed.
The stock market, a close baro-
meter of Japanese national trends,
remained steady.
Yosuke Matsuoka, foreign minis
ter who signed the non-aggression
pact with Russia, was dropped from
the government. He was succeeded
by Admiral Teijiro Toyoda, vice
minister of navy in the last govern
ment.
The press noted the dropping of
MatSuoka with satisfaction, attack
ing his recent policies, particularly
the pact with Russia and claiming
that what Japan needs is "a man
able to see at least a year ahead"
The Domei agency said that it
would be the mission of the new
government to guide Japan along
the lines of free foreign policy"

Sx-Mon:h Jail Term Imposed Upon
Shoplifter Who barricaded Door

The Imperial county Jail will be

He was sentenced by Police Judge

fused to open the door for police.
They cut the screen on a window

sion treaty with Russia.
Such action would clear the way
for japanese assault upon Russia
at Vladivostok and in Siberia and
the maritime provinces. London
heard that Germany has sent Japan
an SOS asking for quick attack
on the Soviet in order to aid the
NaZi offensive in Russia.
The British reported that al
though the Russians had not been
able to bring Nazi forward progress
to complete halt at any point
they were fighting strongly and
preserving their armed forces as

Nazi blitzkrieg.
The British admiralty reported
that its submarines in the Mediter-
ranean have sunk another seven
Axis transports and supply ships.
Date and exact location of the &C
ton was not specified.
FIGHTING BLOODY
Reports from Moscow and Berlin
agreed tilat bloody fighting was in
progress but differed In almost all
other details of the action.
The situation on the chief Rus
sian fronts was reported as fol-
lows:
NORTHERN SECTOR-Germans
report advance guards have fought
their way to "the region of Lenin-
grad apparently driving east from
Estonia along the coast; Russian
reports say that Germany's second
most powerful offensive is under
way here in an apparent attempt
to encircle Leningrad and cut it off
from the Estonian Hinterland.
CENTRAL SECTOR-German re-
ports place Nazis beyond Smolensk
in hard drive toward Moscow 235
miles away; Russians report Soviet
forces still hold defense positions
around Smolensk after four days
of fierce fighting, claim main Nazi
attack is here. In Bobruisk region
Russians assert Nazis still are STALL
ed by Soviet counter offensive.
SOUTHERN SECTOR-Germans
claim they have reached the Dnies-
ter on 150-mile front, overrunning
whole Bessarabian area; Russians
say no particular change in fighting
lines.
While the Russian reports indi-
Gated that their lines are holding
fairly well, it was learned that the
U. S. embassy in Moscow had dis
patched staff of seven persons to
Kazan, 450 miles to the east. The
move was described as precausion-
ary but it appeared to indicate that
the Russians are facing the possi-
bility of NaZi break through to
the Red capital.

Numbered in New
Drawing for u. S.

WASHINGTON, July 18.
(UP) - Selective service
headquarters sends master
lists of the second peace-time
draft lottery to local boards
throughout the nation today to
speed the classification of 10000
2l-year-old men.
The lists, compiled from the Sec
ond lottery in eight months, which
was held last night, determine the
order in which the youths will be
called to qualify for service.
But despite the speed of classifi-
cation, officials said it probably
would be late August or September
before the first of them 60 into
the army.
Secretary of Navy Frank Knox
had been scheduled to draw the
first number in the ceremonial
drawings in the departmental audi
torium last night, but he yielded
the honor to Staff Sergeant Robert
@. Shackleton, of Fort Dix, N. j.,
who volunteered for the army last
January, rather than wait to be
drafted. An actor in civil life, and
handsome he drew a melon n-colored
capsule from the goldfish bowl
used in the World war and the
October lotteries-which contained
the number 1876.
Knox drew the second number
98. Undersecretary of War Robert
P. Patterson drew the third, 451.
Then congressional leaders, repre-
sentatives of veterans organizations,
and other army enlisted men, most
of them selectees, drew one or more
numbers.

tegration of the army
Downey described his bonus pay
ment proposal as a rehabilitation
plan that would help selectees and
guardsmen adjuta themselves to ci-
william life upon their discharge. He
said he planned to introduce it as
an amendment to legislation pend
ing before the senate military COM
