FL Centro Cosers Defect
Cali potrio High. 41-17
ySpartans Reduce
Race TO Two.Team
Affair with Win

The valley league pennant
race was very definitely a
two-team battle Friday as the
FL Centro high school Spar
tans came home with a 41-17
victory over the third-place Cali
patria Hornets in game played
Thursday night on the Brawley
high school court.
The victory was the second in
| two days for the El Centro cagerS
and left the Spartans only one game
behind the league-leading Calexico
Bulldogs who are scheduled to meet
Brawley high in the Brawley GYM
naSium tonight at 7 O'Clock.
Calexico and e. Centre high
school cagers clash Tuesday night
in the El Centro gymnasium in a
game that may determine the loop
championship. A victory for CAL
eXico in Tuesday nights battle
would definitely stamp the Calexico
five as league champ. while a win
for El Centre would Knot the league
standings.
Ell Centre high school cagers were
held to a close score in only the
first quarter when the tally was
1873. Halftime score was l6-ll and
the SpartanS outscored the north
enders 25 to 6 in second half play,
Coach Holt used Is players in
trouncing the northenders, but it
was one of those nights on which
the El CentranS could do no wrong.
Even the third stringers outscored
Calipatria. The e. Centro victory
was dimmed somewhat. however, by
an ankle injury to 1. Kobata, star
guard. Seriousness of the injury
was not determined Immediately but
loss of the japanese defense man
would seriously affect the FL Centre
chances against CaleXico.
Warren Riedy again led the scor-
ers for El Centre with eight points
and Mamie StameS, Calipatria's
leading scorer had nine.
In a preliminary game the Cali
patria Gees maintained its first
place standing with a 21-10 victory
over the El Cenrro Eighties. 1t was
the seventh straight defeat for the
e Centre Gees.

 Hills, Crossings

No accidents of 8 serious nature were reported late this morning by the police department although a few slight dents were involved in mishap when automobiles skidded and slipped after the first snow storm of 1941.

 The street department sent out thirteen blows, manned by 50 men, early last night and the hilly streets and intersections were sanded. Street Superintendent, Herbert H. Scott Smith was in charge of the crews and worked into the morning.
 Public utilities were not affected during the storm, officials reported.
 Gene Bruni, 26, of 62 Aver street was admitted to the St. Mary's hos pital for treatment of injuries suf- fered when struck by car driven by George B. Tyler, 59, of A Mason drive, New Britain. The accident occurred on Bridge street, near Hamilton avenue, as he was cross ing the street. No arrest was made.
 The highest reading in tempera- ture was 34 degrees and the low was 29 degrees at a. m. this morning. About the same amount of snow fell last year on January l, when four inches was recorded.

BAN ON PARKING
 HASN'T STARTED
Storm Delays Campaign Against All=Night Park
 ing in Central Area

The all-night ban on parking effective here yesterday morning, was allowed a stay of execution because of the condition created by the snowstorm. Leaflets have been distributed for the past week by patrolmen, warning the motorists of the restricted area where parking is prohibited for more than three hours, between 1 a. m. to ' a. m.
 No tags were placed on cars yes- terday, but Captain Frederick S. Hickey stated last night that over a score of cars were parked yester- day morning at o'clock from West Main street to Roseland avenue. A number of cars that have been parked on Willow street nightly have been taken into unrestricted streets nearby, and the police board may consider including these ad- joining streets in the all-night parking ordinance.
 Herbert H. Scott Smith, superin- tendent of streets, stated this morn ing that the blows are hampered in working in the restricted area, and requested that the ban go into ef- feet immediately.

thought this was to be confden- tial conversation between you and me-
 "'Oh, Adolf's all right and the President brushed the protest aside.
 "In the end, Roosevelt suggested that Davis fly back to Germany, get any concrete peace proposals which Hitler might have, and re- port back. So Davis caught the Clipper for Portugal. The first stop was Bermuda, where 8 plain clothes man tapped him on the shoulder and said: Come along with me. I'd like to talk to you
 He turned out to be a member of the British secret service, who warned Davis to go back to the United States or else his passport would be lifted. He seemed to know all about the Davis peace trip. However, Davis raised such a fuss that he was finally allowed to proceed-though not until after the Clipper had been kept 24 hours in Bermuda waiting for him.
 From that point on, the British did everything possible to handi- cap Davis, even cancelling his passage from Portugal so that he had to take a plane to Morocco and thence on to Germany. But at last Davis got to Berlin, inter viewed the highest Nazi leaders, and flew back to the United States arriving in late October.
 with him he carried several long, closely written pages in Ger man, giving the ideas on which Hitler was willing to discuss peace. Davis took an apartment in the Mayfiower and began to translate the document. Then, suddenly he discovered two men sitting outside his door. They were G-men ..
 "A day or so later, Davis pre- sented the German peace plan orally to Berle for transmission to the President. Present also was Walter Jones, but no one else. It was emphasized that the entire conversation was strictly conf1d- ential.
 'This was at noon. Later that day Davis and Jones motored to Harrisburg, Pa., where 8 phone call from Washington reached them-a query from a newspaper man. The State Department tells me that you and W. R. Davis have brought a peace proposal from Germany the newsman asked Jones.
 That was how interested the State Department, at that time, was in plans for peace. Unques- tionably, the State Department boys were taking their cues direct from the British-and the British did not want peace"

Lewis and Walter Jones of Pittsburgh in the latter's apartment, and told of various conversations he had had with Hitler. Davis had been sell ing Mexican oil to Germany, was intimate with high-placed Nazis, and told of their ideas for per- manent European peace.
 ''I think the President ought to know about this,' remarked John L. Lewis, and went into an anteroom where he called the President. He had no difficulty getting him, and said: MT.

 When Davis arrived at the White House he was introduced to Adolf Berle, Assistant Secretary of State, and noticed, during his conversation with Roosevelt, that Berle was busy taking notes. This caused Davis to protest: T
