The Effective Phase Begins

struction is far ahead of schedule"
Now Three tank plants are si-
multaneously getting into actual
production on medium tanks, the
type the Army has needed most
urgently, since light tanks are al
ready i'll quantity production, and
are good enough to have been most
helpful to the British in Libya"
Each OF these is only small
flick of the needle, but together
they show how the defense effort
is entering the productive stage. 1t
has been a weary strain to wait
month after month, plugging ever
harder at the job, with SO little ap-
parent result. Now the results begin
to come.
With actual tangible guns, tanks
and planes IN sight, it should be
easier to redouble the effort that
will keep them coming in an in
creasing stream. In that lies the
best hope for the American future.

THIS LAND
OURS
Gulare Times

(Tulare Times)
This is land of many peoples and
faiths 1t was founded as a refuge from
tyranny, and pledged by its Bill of
Rights to remain a land where all men
of good will might live unfettered by
fear and the terror which reduces man
to a cringing slave.
Naturally, in time of crisis, the ene-
mics of this country have sought to div
ide us, to turn us against our neighbors
of other birth, religion or descent. The
enemies of our country are not COM
pletely stupid. They. too know that an
America united cannot fall.
But these splitting tactics, shopWorn
tricks in the old game of divide and rule,
are growing familiar. And while a
pathetic handful of foreign-born jlngo-
lists whoop it up for the dear old Fuehrer,
Duce, or Emperor across the seas, the
vast majority of Americas foreign-born
and their children want nothing better
than the chance to prove themselves
loyal as any native-born citizen. What
most of them think of their few loud
talking countrymen, whose ties to the
old country are still strong, is for the
most part unprintable. What most of
California's second-generation japanese
think of Japan's war lords is fully
match for John Does opinion of them.
And these japanese Americans are not
only angry. They are embarrassed as
we'll for few unthinking persons doubt
less suspect them of harboring the same
views as the militarist zealots of Nip
pom.
When it comes to discriminating against
the foreign-born citizen we can safely
hold our fi,-a arpa rpDreSent atiye or
ganzations, with members of japanese,
Italian and German American descent,
have earnestly re-affirmed their loyalty
to this country in deed and word. True,
there are trouble-makers among them
Just as there are native-born trouble
makers. But we can leave this nest of
dissenters to the competent care of j.
Edgar Hoover. Meanwhile, let's keep
our. eyes on the ball, disregarding the
feints and tricks of the enemy who would
divide and disunite us-if he could.

Hollywood S Fads, Fancies and Foibles

HOLLYWOOD. Aug. o = Off
stage quality that like best abou
Bud Abbott and Lou Costello is
their all-round enthusiasm and
frank enjoyment of their current
triumphs. Too often, when some
body shoots into top-notch star
dom, he accepts it with a smugness
indicating that wealth and promi-
nence are natural destiny and
somewhat overdue.
These two eX-burlesque comed-
ians, although hampered by mod
esty, are tickled silly with all the
things that have happened to them
since their brief part in feeble
flicker last year won a recall to
star in pictures at Universal. Buck
Privates' set a series of such
astonishing records that "Oh,
Charlie" made before the army
film was released, was held up for
refurbishing. Retitled Hold That
Ghost, it's going out on the heels
of In the Navy"
Costello and Abbott now are max
ing a dude ranch western called
Ride En- Cowboy" and after hop
ping over to Metro for Rio Rita,
in which they'll have the former
Wheeler and Woolsey parts, they
return for another national defense
comedy. The latter will deal mostly
with aviation and is named up in
the Air"
RAGS TO RICHES
All this is quite change from
their lives among the stripperS and
grinders and smoky theaters on
the burly circuits. It's better, too,
than a decade ago when Abbott lost
his shirt as a theater owner and
Costello hitch-hiked to Hollywood
and nearly starved to death as an
occasional laborer and stunt man.
He admits he's going to get lot
of satisfaction returning in stellar
style to M-G-M, where once he per-
formed menial chores.
The plump funnyman also is
cherishing a plan to drive back east,
retracing his original hitch-hike
Imperial Valley press., 1941-08-10

There have been three phases of
the defense program since the
President called for the building of
effective defense in May, 1910,
From May until that autumn
there was a great scurrying to pass
appropriations, to let contracts, to
draw plans: everything was on pa
per. 1t had to be SO.
From last autumn through this
spring and summer, there was a
period of tooling up''-of provid-
ing the specialized tools necessary
before production could begin, of
building factories from the ground
up.
Now at last we enter a third
phase-When production in effec-
tive volume is beginning to roll.
Now we begin to get the stuff, and
from now on the stream of that
production must continue to rise in
heightening creScendo until the
world comes again, as it will some
day, to peace.
Watch the needle flicker across
the face of the arms production
gauge!
Now it reads More than 1900
neW-model rifles and sub-machine
guns are coming off the production
lines every day
Now The thousandth Hudson
bomber is already on its way to

SUBSTITUTE FOR SILK
(Evening Star News, Culver City,

(Evening Star News, Culver City,
Action by the United States govern
ment in freezing japanese credits and
raw silk undoubtedly will bring about
some unforeseen complications.
One item alone, silk hosiery, is bound
to be greatly reduced in output and its
importance may be readily visualized,
literally, by brief stroll in any of the
shopping districts where women abound.
What are the women going to wear
when the silk supply gives out? In Eng
land they are painting their legs.
But even more important IS the prob
lem of what $4,000 hosiery mill en-
ployes are going to do now that their
jobs have folded for lack of material.
It should not be an insurmountable
problem, and in the end would benefit
American industry and labor as we'll
as consumers by making them indepen-
dent of foreign sources of supply.
1t was with this in mind that leader
of the American Federation of Hosiery
has declared:
This Silk shortage has been threaten
ing for several years, and our manufac-
turers have been experimenting with all
types of substitute fabrics I'm sure
they should be able to supply all the hos
iery America needs without depending
on Japan or any other foreign country
any longer"
Imperial Valley press., 1941-08-10

route. This time he'll go over the
roads in $4,000 car hauling a $1,000
trailer. Abbott has a trailer, tOo
and there is constant squabbling
between the pair about which Pull
manlike conveyance is the more
luxurious.
Abbott has only his own family
for which to buy gifts but he has
been pleased to heap mink and dia-
monds on his wife, an exchorine
whose original engagement ring
contained stone SO small that itf
scarcely could be seen. 1t looked
fine to her, though. :
Costello is lucky in having a
mother and sister back in Patter- /.
son, N. j. His father was italian,
and his mother is Irish. She also
has high blood pressure and tai
ent for fainting every time her
son brings her some little token
such as a chauffeured limousine
or a diamond bracelet Last Christ
mas he gave his sister, Marie. an
elegant silver fox coat. She tainted,
was out cold for an hour, and then
cried for six hours.
LOU MAY SOB
I should warn you now that
some Chaplinesque pathos is being
planned for these champions of low
comedy. Arthur Lubin, their direc-
tor, says that Costello can evoke
tears as easily as belly-laughs; be-
sides, few sad scenes would pro-
vide change of pace.
All such speculations take little
notice of Bud Abbott, the straight
man. He never tells a joke. Pre-
sumably he'd never have to do any
sobbing, either, but there Is no.
likelihood that Costello ever willq
work by himself. He'd be helpless.
Quite a lot of people in show busi-
ness believe a straight mans job
is harder than a COMICS. Costellpd
does, anyway, and it's his opinion
that counts.

nance companies, the industrial
banking companies, the commercial
banks and the credit unions.
The domestic distribution COM
mittee of the United States Cham
ber of Commerce has gone over the
subject and issued a report saying
that any curtailment of inStallment
buying is unnecessary. According to
this report, although retail sales
reached SAT billion in 1910, only 10
per cent of them were installment
sales and only 10 per cent of the
1,650,00O retail establishments in the
country sold on :ime.
But ins the 10000 merchants who
handle installments sales are 35,-
900 auto dealers, 1900 furniture
stores, $4,000 home appliance stores,
$4,000 auto accessory stores, 10000
jeWelry stores, 5000 hardware stores,
5000 clothing stores, 1000 depart
ment stores and $4,000 miscellane-
Gus merchants who are the leading
merchandisers, the big advertisers,
the fellows whose entire business is
built up on credit sales. There's no
telling what would happen to them
if they had to go on a cash basis.
MIGHT BRAKE NEW DEAL
The basic idea of limiting INSTALL
ment buying is not new. Install
ment buying has been condemned
as an inflationary influence, but
it has been used extensively in New
Deal reform to encourage home
building, rural eiectrification, home
modernization, housing and reset
tlement, the government likewise
would be forced to revise its poll
cies.
So far, no one has come forward
with any ideas for denying a man
his Godgiven right to hook his
watch. Trying to regulate the pawn
shops would be just too much.
WASHINGTON STORE NEWS
Forty per cent of the new cars
and SO per cent of the used cars
are sold for cash. Installment sell
